Michael Hogsett found this image in a Worth1000 contest – ‘Video games that never got made’. (The same contest contained this image, as well… I think I like the Halo Kitty one better.) Check out the rest of the contest – there are some funny ones in there!(Louis Wu 17:06:06 UTC)

Whee! Out with one rumor, in with the next! Joystiq is speculating that from a pure business sense, Bungie would be dumb not to make a couple more Halo games after Halo 3 is released. (In their defense, they admit they have no inside information about this, they realize that Bungie employees have already hinted…

QuickTactical and the rest of the Epic Films crew put together ‘Originality’, a vid that discusses what NOT to do with your next Halo machinima project. They submitted this to the MPRRS – but because of a reviewer who simply didn’t get it (and scored it almost 50 points lower than the average), it didn’t…

The title of today’s One One Se7en was snagged from a Halo fan – who in turn stole it from a dead guy. Seems sort of fitting, given the content of the strip…(Louis Wu 13:58:07 UTC)

Dweezle wrote to let us know about new content at Dead Man’s Hand; there’s a discussion about glitches, and whether they should be exploited or not, there’s an interview with Xbox.com’s TriXie (no Halo content, but it’s a fun read), and there’s a rant about cheating. Give it a look! (And if you’re a writer,…

KLind stopped by to point out a short interview with Steve Downs he’s posted on his blog; a nice look at the actor’s side of the game!(Louis Wu 12:08:58 UTC)

This week’s Halo Humpday Challenge was played against the Blood Gulch Regulars – a last-minute matchup that ended in Bungie’s favor. (Maybe they should schedule ALL their matches at the last minute!) The one thing I learned from the writeup is not to talk smack about KP’s mom. Overall, though, it sounded like a lot…

Small Fan Fiction update this week – just 10 stories. Check ’em out!(Louis Wu 11:58:09 UTC)

Video Game Control is running a tournament in Milwaukee, WI in early September; $40pp to register, $2000 prize. More info in this forum post.(Louis Wu 11:52:27 UTC)

Eric Nylund wrote to squash some rumors that have been floating around; You might have seen the note at SPOnG today that speculated that a new, non-Halo Bungie title would be announced at X06 in Barcelona in September. This came hot on the heels of the pickup of a small tidbit from a Nylund blog…

Bah… missed this last night. DropShock Episode 20 was posted yesterday; just over an hour, 31 mb. Give it a listen.(Louis Wu 18:27:55 UTC)
