Wow. Mothergoat took some time out of his busy schedule to put together a Public Service Announcement yesterday; he looks carefully at MPD, a treatable disorder affecting a large percentage of the over-24 gamer population. I think even Green Day would approve. Swing by his forum post for download links (we’ve provided local mirrors, both…

Over at Halo2Forum.com, you’ll find a large (156 mb, WMP9) vid showing a CTF match on Midship between Str8 Rippin and Team3D. Awesome gameplay, fascinating conversation. Go grab it!

Burnie, from Red vs Blue, found a fun Fark photoshop contest – several of the entries (though none that are really doing well) are Halo-related. Check it out!

Wave of Lag has released a couple of new Urban Combat maps for Halo CE – along with tags for his version of the Kestrel (a vehicle shown as concept art on the Limited Edition DVD, but never released by Bungie in any form). Check this forum post for details and a Gearbox forum link.

Very cool – a new Public Service Announcement has been posted over at Red vs Blue… “The Olympics Suck.” It’s pretty funny; I was just discussing why nobody watched the Olympics this year, over dinner… and now this! It’s got something for everybody – even Stephen Colbert. If you’re a sponsor, go grab a copy.…

Bungie Weekly Update was posted (as usual, while I was out for dinner) – swing by and read about what they’re NOT doing, as well as a little about what is coming up. You can also read it in our Weekly Update Archive, if you like white better than blue. Was Frankie first? Do bears…

Took a little longer to judge than we’d originally counted on (hey – almost three hundred entries had to be read through, groaned at, and ranked!), but the 7 on the 7th Joke Contest has finally been judged, and results have been posted. Congrats to the winners (you’ll be contacted soon for mailing info)! Thanks…

Recently, Uwe Boll has spoken out about his opinion of the chances that the Halo movie will succeed. Stuntmutt tosses his two cents on that subject into the pot with today’s One One Se7en.

More NYC Halo Nationals stuff – at MLGPro.com, there’s an overview of the Finals (thanks, 3Suns), and at Team3D.net, there’s Part 1 of a wrapup – an interview with Hotshy (thanks, F13ND). Go read!

Captain Spark released another batch of dialogue snippets (and celebrated his 25th wedding anniversary, and is gearing up for his birthday – w00t!) – you can grab ’em from his website, or browse ’em in the Dialogue Databank. And there are more snippets coming from Hellhawk and Bloodpuppy, soon – I just haven’t gotten ’em…

Twenty new pieces up in the Fan Fiction section this week – go read!

The Game with Fame series continues, with the cast from Hollyoaks (a British soap) looking to take on some of their fans on March 4. We seem to have fallen off the notification list for these things – but you can read the press release elsewhere around the net (XGP Gaming has a copy, and…

Remember that pirate comment Frankie made in last week’s Weekly Update, when referring to an upcoming Halo Humpday Challenge? Turns out it was because Bungie played against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. Frankie did a good job staying with the football theme all the way through the writeup. There’s a scary pic at the…

Nice. MLGPro.com has put up a gallery of photos from last weekend’s National Championships; 434 pics of people playing Halo. Go look. Thanks, 3Suns.

Rockslider continues the Frontline with Suzie series – today she’s interviewing some swampdwellers. Well… not really dwelling. More being lost, actually. Go read.

This Spartan LIfe has posted Episode 3, Module 1 – visit the site for download options. Damian has some… staff issues. Here’s hoping he works ’em out soon! The QuickTime is 16.6 mb, the WMP9 should be available soon. (There’s also an alternate version of the Solid Gold Elite Dancers module released a few weeks…
