Submit stuff for Episode 66: The Halo 3 Show
Darn memorial day weekend screwed me all up, I thought it was Tuesday today. Since we’re recording tomorrow, we better get something to talk about! That’s where you come in… Bungie is designing Halo 3. They should know what the community wants. We all know Halo 3 will be more than Halo 2 with an…

Marty Rocks. (And so does the rest of the team.)
The winners of our last 7 on the 7th contest have begun to receive their prizes – Geary posted a pic in our forum, and wigglepie13 emailed us a nice thank-you. All I have to say is thanks, Bungie! Update: And one more, from Sane Intolerant. Nice!

There Are Other Alternatives.
Stuntmutt is no longer in Barbados, but it’ll be a few days before the sunburn has healed enough for him to get back to cutting and pasting – so it’s a good thing that there are still a few celebrity guest strips in the queue. Today’s One One Se7en, for example, was created by Pinkuh,…

Gruntco Base Defense
Yesterday, another movie wound its way through the MPRRS – and once again, 9 reviewers said ‘pass’, one reviewer said ‘not only will I not pass this, but I’ll score it 35% below the average’ – which pretty much guarantees a fail. (To be absolutely clear: reviewers don’t see numerical grades from other reviewers, and…

VGL Philly PR
The Video Games Live crew sent along a press release for the Philadelphia show – in addition to the show itself, there’s a nice contest, and a meet-and-greet session with (among other game music luminaries) Marty O’Donnell and Mike Salvatori. Give it a read.

BOLLing for soup-erman
Over at Bungie.net, there’s a very cool interview with BOLL, a community member who tends to stand out if you pay any attention to community members. Go read about what makes him tick – I apologize that somehow, I can’t find an original picture of his elite carving; I remember telling him to mail it…

UNSC In Amber Clad FFG-142 Frigate
For PSP – 2.34MB From SoundEffect: Frigates are a necessary addition to the space vessels of the UNSC. They primarily provide escort duties for larger ships and are often assigned patrol missions, rather than being a frontline vessel. The conflict with the Covenant has redirected many frigates to much more active battle roles. One of…

Anatomy of a Work in Progress
Pinkuh was one of the artists that graciously agreed to create cool artwork for HBO visitors for our E3 Poster Contest – and since she send along progress reports, I thought it might be fun to show people how she works. Visit this page for a series of images (with commentary), showing her progress along…

I’m cleaning out my closet
Every few months or so I like to clear out my friends list to make room to play with some people I haven’t played with before. This also removes the people that don’t play Xbox Live or Halo 2 any more. I’ll be doing this in the next few days so if you want to…

Major Nelson separates Xbox 360 titles
Major Nelson has changed the format of his Top Ten Xbox Live Games list – there are now two separate lists (one for Xbox360 titles, one for Xbox titles). Halo 2 is at the top of the Xbox list – but there’s no word on overall numbers. (I’m guessing that’s on purpose – at some…

Remembrance
Stolen directly from her Red vs Blue journal – Elnea created a really nice image in honor of yesterday’s holiday here in the US, and we’ve added it (and the poem she included with it) to her gallery page here.

DropShock Ep 17
DropShock wrote to point out that DropShock Episode 17 has been released. It’s described in the email as ‘a stripped format version’ – but it’s still almost an hour long. Go listen.

Halo Movie Timeline – The Real, and The Imagined
One of the downsides of running a relatively popular Halo fansite is that we hear all the rumors, many, many times… and I worry about giving those rumors extra credibility simply by acknowledging them. Sometimes, though, a rumor is so widespread that NOT acknowledging it seems pointless – a recent one, ‘The Halo Movie has…
