There’s an article up at Bungie.Net showing off a few of the more popular items available over at the Bungie Store. It’s all stuff that been there for at least a little while, but Alta’s showing off some upcoming hoodies, so it’s worth checking out. The prized forum “FIRST” award goes to none other than…

Vic De Leon writes about an upcoming tourney at Versus in New York City, on March 11. 2v2, Halo 2, max 16 teams, $400 for the number one finisher. More rules can be found at Halo2Tournaments.com.

Wow. Someone built a needler – and is selling the crystals for it on eBay. Pretty cool-looking! Thanks to BARBARIC RAGE, who pointed out the listing on eBay.co.uk – but it’s on the US version, as well. Currently at about $60, with a day and a half left in the auction.

Heh – you need an account at Red vs Blue to read this… but it’s worth it. Burnie wrote up a journal entry showing off one of the tricks they’ve figured out recently; it turns off dynamic shadows in Halo 2 multiplayer – or adds them, selectively, to characters not affected. He’s offered a reward…

Foo Mo Jive wrote to tell us that Podtacular has released their monumental 50th episode. This episode is completely devoted to various tips, including a few good ones regarding Terminal. They’ve also asked us to mention their new Podtacular Clan structure, which they’ve briefly outlined. Congratulations on your 50th episode, guys!

mrsmiley drops by the forum to mention a huge update to the art section over at Halobabies.net. Some awesome stuff over there, go check it out!

A lot of things come to mind reading the latest One One Se7en. Regret is most definitely one of them.

Stephen Loftus has done some more work on his In Amber Clad model – check out his progress page to see where it stands!

gijake, a fan of Microsoft’s Flight Sim series, has pointed out a couple pieces of Halo-inspired content for the game: The first is an environment, Installation 04, and the other is a repaint of an F-16, with Halo 2 written across the wings and a Brute on the tail. Nice find.

Ducain posted to the forum last night to let us know about a pretty cool movie which Yasha released on HIH. Glitchtacular takes you through many of the more common glitches in Halo 2’s multiplayer maps. What sets this movie apart from most others though is the editing and particularly the transitions, which are pretty…

0kinawa, over at Halovids.com, is redoing their War Series; they submitted Episode 1 to the MPRRS recently. It passed – so while they didn’t want hosting (you’re supposed to be able to find the WMP9 version of this vid on their Videos page), I couldn’t find a link, so we’re making local versions available -…

Elnea seems to be back on an avatar kick again – she passed along three new ones for her gallery page. Check out NinjaSpartan.com, BigNiceJohn, and Alsace. Nice stuff! (And for the record – no, I’m not back. I’m simply online from paradise.)

Matt6908 submitted a trailer for his upcoming ‘Apocalypse Rising’ trailer to the MPRRS – and it passed this evening. The series tells the story of the coming of the Apocalypse, and the efforts of four teens to stop the carnage. Nice use of mods. You can grab it in WMP9 format (22 mb) or QuickTIme…

Stuntmutt lets us know that he’s updated his blog with some guest strips from around the net. Some good ones in there, the others were made by Stuntmutt.

Upon studying Steven Loftus’s Halo, Analyzed, Ωmega became inspired and decided to further detail a couple of models. First he took a look at the Pillar of Autumn model and came up with these two overlays. Then he took a look at the Covenant CCS-class Battle Cruiser and came up with this schematic. So far…

First Contact, a Half Life 2 modification based on the Fall of Reach, has officially launched its main site at www.firstcontactmod.com. They have forums running, and an IRC channel at #Firstcontact at Gamesurge.net.

This is one of those rare occasions when someone wants the feedback and no hosting. The trailer for the new four part series Outbreak passed with flying colors. A flood infection is spreading fast and the elites have come to earth to stop it. The humans need to learn to trust the elites before the…

Narcogen has switched gears and returned to writing up his Halo 2 impressions over at Rampancy.net. Today he takes a close look at Gravemind.
