Who wants Grif jerky?
Red vs Blue Recreation Chapter 7 - Bon Voyage - is now online for sponsors, and will be up for everyone else in a couple of hours. Sarge, Grif, and Caboose head out together... while Simmons, Donut, and Lopez try not to get in too much trouble. I think it's a wash. Of sorts. Go watch. Cause it's funny. UnSilentSlayer started a thread in our forum. (Louis Wu 23:46:49 UTC) (permalink) 
Halopen Pencast 12
Firestorm12 let us know that the 12th Halopen Pencast is now online, with discussion of machinimating (never heard that before!) from the point of view of the various roles in a production. About an hour and a half. Go listen! (Louis Wu 22:21:50 UTC) (permalink) 
ONI and NMPD Logos - writ large
Stephen Loftus took a bit of time and cleaned up a couple of cool logos found in recent Bungie assets - swing by his forum post to view the UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence logo, and the New Mombasa Police Department logo! (Louis Wu 19:27:30 UTC) (permalink) 
Halo Wars MEGA Blocks - now available
Xorian pointed out that the Halo Wars MEGA Blocks toys are now actually available (we mentioned them a couple of times earlier this year, but they were still 'coming soon'). (You can't buy them directly from MEGA - they're all listed as 'out of stock' - but the 'Where to Buy' link will show you some stores that carry the products, and some quick checks showed that both Target and ToysRUs have some of these products in stock. Target has the Scorpion, and TRU has both the Scorpion and 'Aerial Ambush'.) (Louis Wu 17:39:54 UTC) (permalink) 
Summer Mythic Recon Challenge VIII: Crow's Nest
Tyrant's having a busy summer - but that doesn't mean he's taking away your chance to win Recon on schedule. While he hasn't quite finished the last couple of levels for his Halo 3 Mythic Walkthrough v2.0... he HAS completed the films showing how he does them, and you can use these, as well as the other resources mentioned in his Bungie.net news post, to complete the Crow's Nest challenge this week, for your shot at Recon armor. It's the 8th of 9 stages of the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge... get to work! (Louis Wu 16:56:00 UTC) (permalink) 
In Plain Sight - but not The latest Tag and Release feature on Bungie.net looks at Camouflage - or doesn't. (Hidden Spartans are hidden.) Go look! (Louis Wu 16:48:48 UTC) (permalink) 
Lars holds forth on ODST The French gaming site jv247.com interviewed Lars Bakken last week during the Paris press event - the intro and the questions of the video are in French, but Lars answers in English (with French subtitles), and there's plenty of info that's understandable for those who don't speak French. Thanks, Backflip. (Louis Wu 15:33:36 UTC) (permalink) 
ForgeHub's 1v1 Conflict Tournament If you enjoy 1v1 competition, swing by Forge Hub - signups are open for their 1v1 Conflict Tournament.

Monday Comic Roundup
Comic pickin's have been light of late - I guess summer is a time to kick back, not create comics. Bloogyo told us about a bunch of new Rat's Nest episodes... and Hawty McBloggy highlighted an episode of grin + bear it. Go read! (Louis Wu 13:26:11 UTC) (permalink)
