Steam Pirate Action - I Need a Swivel Cannon
It's not Halo-related (except in that the developer was also behind the Halo 2 ARG I Love Bees), but it sure is Bungie-related... Crimson was released (FOR FREE) for the iPad yesterday, and it's currently the #1 App on the iPad App Store (as well as being the iTunes Game of the Week). If you're jonesin' for some good old-fashioned turn-based strategy set in an alternate reality steampunk caribbean (because haven't we ALL played that before? WAIT NO WE HAVEN'T DAMMIT NOW I HAVE TO BUY AN IPAD), go grab this! (Fifteen minutes of gameplay can be seen here.) (Louis Wu 19:03:08 UTC) (permalink)
Beware the Covenant!
Beckx noticed some new Halo Hero Clix Covenant figures being previewed at heroclix.com - cool! (Louis Wu 18:58:35 UTC) (permalink)
Conversations From the Universe - in PDF
Urban Reflex noticed a gap in our Halo coverage - we didn't have a copy of the Conversations From the Universe booklet that came with the Halo 2 Limited Edition online anywhere. So... he scanned it for us. We double-checked with both Bungie and 343, and nobody had a problem with offering this to you at this stage... so grab this 7.5mb PDF file and give it a read!

Movie Movie Movie INTERVIEW
Lots of cool vids are available over at Halo Waypoint. First up - Assault on Squad 45, Part 3 went up a few days ago. This amazing stop-motion Mega Bloks-based series has been fun from the start, and this episode is the best yet. I want more toys! (The Hunter doing a Nixon impression is priceless.) When you're done with that one, check out the Halo Fest Machinima finalists - and the overall winner (HBO's own Bryan Newman!). Finally, a new Grifball Highlight vid from GrifballHub is live - these guys are amazing. If movies aren't your thing, Waypoint's STILL got you covered - The Halo Book Club just published a Q&A with Tobias Buckell, who wrote both the novel Halo: The Cole Protocol and the Halo short story Dirt. Great read! Go spend some time over there. (Louis Wu 14:23:04 UTC) (permalink)

I say...
Sl'askia did a bad thing with an Elite. (Well... TO an Elite. She... oh, never mind - just go look.) (Louis Wu 14:02:43 UTC) (permalink)
Giant Bomb gets the lowdown from Ellis
Giant Bomb has an interview with David Ellis from Halo Fest last week - not a huge amount of new content, but it does a good job of presenting most of the salient points concisely, and the Ruby costumes that serve as a backdrop for the interview are pretty funny. A nice summary, and Ellis doesn't do this very often - fun! Thanks, Ken.

SPFSSEAM - I think they need a new acronym
