Mute Radio (nee MLG PwnCast) has launched a totally new site design, and have released Episode 3, covering the new site, MLG Orlando, and more. Go grab a copy!(Louis Wu 13:38:51 UTC)

Vironex was doing some poking around at Bungie.net, and found a link to the personal website of Tom Doyle, a Bungie 3D artist. Most of what’s visible there is work he did for other games he worked on before Bungie hired him… but a few images look Halo-ish. The floor symbols and door shapes in…

KP sat down with two new permanent hires – Josh Rogers, who’s been a contractor (which means part-time worker; no more than 9 months/year) for several years, and Stosh – who’s been a moderator at Bungie.net, but not paid until recently – about their current jobs, and how they got there. One almost gets the…

BeNjA created a HaloPC tribute video, ‘Halo PC 4 Life’, or ‘HPC4L’ for short; it’s a twelve and a half minute long montage that includes gameplay from nearly 50 different players. It’s a labor of love from someone who finds Halo PC to be one of the best games out there. It’s also massive -…

Great interview with Carbon, discussing their win over Final Boss in Orlando, up over at MLGPro.com. They’re a little cocky… but hey, they just came off a tremendous win, they can be forgiven. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 21:21:02 UTC)

Holy Art Overload, Batman! The Wallpaper section has been updated with 49 new entries (and, if you count variants, over 60 new images) – some have been posted on our forum, but others are brand-spankin-new, and many are GORGEOUS. Go look ’em over – you’ve got your choice of image sizes ranging from 800×600 up…

As you can probably guess from the title, Stuntmutt has taken a long, hard look (you might even call it stone-cold) at the title of the newest Halo novel. See what he came up with in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 16:04:21 UTC)

The Famous Maroon Band of Mississippi State University played a bunch of video game music for the MSU/SC halftime show on August 31 – and somebody YouTubed it. The whole clip is 7 minutes long, but the Halo bit is over in the first minute. (Nice formation, as well!) Thanks to Alt, in irc.bungie.org’s #hbo,…

Spider-Man originally submitted this song to Podtacular, but as far as I can tell, they never released it. It’s a song called ‘Snow ((Halo))’ – a parody to the tune of Snow ((Hey Oh)) by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Quality isn’t great – but it’s pretty funny! 3.8 mb, mp3 format.(Louis Wu 15:50:24 UTC)

Heh – fun. Brannon Boren, who, as a consultant with Microsoft, helped oversee the integration of the Halo story into various products, noticed that the Wikipedia entry for Bungie Studios suggests that the Halo Bible is not a real item, but rather a metaphor for the large collection of info about the Haloverse. Due to…

Heh – GFC Danny was reading Nintendo Power magazine, and in the email section, someone had asked the mag staff what Master Chief would look like with his helmet off. Their answer was funny.(Louis Wu 14:37:40 UTC)

The Series 8 Halo action figures have been available from various retail outlets for a couple of months now, but if you want to support Bungie’s plans of world domination, you can buy two of them (a Spartan with a popcorn Flood and a minor Jackal) at the Bungie Store, as of yesterday. Thanks to…

Before you leave High Impact Halo, swing by this news post – it describes a trick that’s been waiting to be completed for years… that the HIH community finally pinned down. Uzny was the guy who finally made it happen – but it was a community effort, through and through. The video’s pretty fun -…

Over at High Impact Halo, Ducain pointed out a new tribute vid created to pay homage to the Halo Speedrunners, that group of fans that does their best to make it from the start to the end of a level in as little time as possible. It’s long (17 minutes) – but a pretty impressive…
