The latest Bungie weekly update may not be packed to the brim with exciting things like upcoming playlists or talk of yet more new maps, but there are definitely some tasty morsels for Halo fans out there. First and foremost is a collection of some of the funniest Halo 3 screenshots out there. We're particularly enamored of the one above. We have dubbed it "Cojones" for reasons that we don't care to elucidate. Secondly, the update enumerates a few of the more interesting statistics about Halo 3. Our favorite is the number of people who have completed the Legendary campaign with every skull turned on. How many people have done this? Two. We can't figure out if those two people are insanely good or insanely patient. Either way, they're insane. Finally, the update points gamers to Ascendant Justice, a blog that has posted a three part series exploring the story revealed in Halo 3's terminals. Fans of the series should definitely read it. Hit the "read" link to explore the entire update.

A Voice from the Tomb (Part I, Part II and Part III)
The complete storyline of the historic events which caused the fall of the Forerunner race. This is the backbone of the series and should be read first as a point of reference. You can find the annotated PDF version here, with citations leading back to The Index bibliography.
She Died in Eden (Intro, Part I, Part II, Part III and Part IV)
The tale of Didact and Librarian as told by the terminals. This is an in depth look into the lives of two beings that ignited a chain reaction which brought about the events of the Halo trilogy.
The Thunder and the Surf (Intro, Part I, Part II and Part III)
The story of Mendicant Bias, an AI construct through whom the galaxy was both lost and redeemed. He is the central character of the Halo trilogy, despite what many would believe, and this article explains exactly why.
The Index
All the text from the Terminals and more.
SUCH an amazing site for Halo story stuff.
