Heh – Mintz found a Hooked on Polygon comic that takes sharp aim at the internet rumor mill, and specifically the ridiculousness that occurs when people are dying for Halo movie info. Spot on.(Louis Wu 01:08:13 UTC)

Whoa, funky. Apparently, a monthly Halo comic, a joint venture from Bungie and Marvel and debuting next summer, was announced during a panel about the Halo Graphic Novel given yesterday at Comic-Con. More info when we know it – but you can read a short article about it at IGN. Thanks, Starbuck.(Louis Wu 12:51:09 UTC)

Chairleg Productions released Episode 2 of their new series, MPs, this week. This one is shaping up to be amazing – really high production values, including fantastic audio, beautifully-integrated effects, and really smooth cinematography. Humor continues to be high, and character development is really strong. We’re helping out with a mirror of the WMP9 version…

Heh – the profiling continues over at MLGPro.com – a rivalry between eX and XiT Woundz, 5th and 4th seeds respectively, is outlined in this article. Thanks again, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 12:37:20 UTC)

As we mentioned a few hours ago, Rockslider uncovered a new speech by Sarge, normally not audible in-game because Johnson is (usually) encountered dead on a pelican… in that time, Captain Spark reproduced the situation and recorded the snippet. You can find it in our Dialogue Databank. (The discussion is still going on in Rockslider’s…

There’s a nice little preview of the upcoming battles to be seen at MLG Chicago, over on MLGPro.com – thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 02:42:57 UTC)

The current Bungie Weekly Update was penned by KP, nearly alone in the cavernous Bungie offices as the entire staff of 180 traveled down to San Diego to hang out with the RvB guys at Comic-Con. (Okay, there might have been a few exaggerations in that sentence.) He made the best of what he was…

Our most recent 7 on the 7th contest had the fewest number of valid entries to of any contest to date; I blame the short timeframe and the relatively unorthodox ruleset. That said, we got some great entries! The hands-down favorite of all the judges was Omega’s ‘Grunt Crossing’ – but this is a 7…

WikiRiot Episode 8 has been posted – Challenges, Content, and Clan4Food. Check it!(Louis Wu 19:43:56 UTC)

If you’re in San Diego, the Comic-Con is the place to be – and SketchFactor has posted some Bungie/Halo-related info on Bungie.net. Go read!(Louis Wu 18:27:52 UTC)

Whoa, funky. Rockslider has written up yet another way to gather additional marines on AotCR, in the original Halo – and this way actually gets you a new 16-second speech from Sergeant Johnson. Read his post for more details(Louis Wu 15:53:21 UTC)

Halfofthetime submitted a music vid that sets Gnarls Barkley’s ‘Crazy’ to modded Halo action; nice work. The MPRRS gave it a green light – so grab your copy in WMP9 format (36.8 mb) or QuickTime format (39.2 mb). (Louis Wu 15:30:14 UTC)

Xar8 put together a really cool little Master Chief sculpture – and sent us some pics. You’ll find ’em here. I want one!(Louis Wu 14:02:27 UTC)

Stuntmutt has been playing with new toys. As today’s One One Se7en shows, though, there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. (I’m going to refrain from any corn references here.)(Louis Wu 13:45:29 UTC)

Sixteen new pieces for you today in the Fan Fiction section – go read!(Louis Wu 11:39:39 UTC)

TheMaker420 sent word of Xbox Gaming Radio (XGR), volume 1 – it contains discussion of many Halo 2-related websites, along with other games. Guest hosts this week are Xetzu and MaCeGac, talking about Oblivion. You can grab a copy from High Impact Noise or 360 Uploads.(Louis Wu 11:25:29 UTC)

There’s an interview with Matt ‘Zyos’ Leto over at IGN, as part of the ramp-up to the Championship Gaming Invitational kicking off today. I’m not sure how many top Halo players will actually be there… considering that MLG Chicago kicks off today, as well. Nevertheless, it’s a fine read.(Louis Wu 11:17:31 UTC)
