Over at Bungie.net, there’s a new top story – it’s a question and answer session about Halo 2 Vista, with info coming from Jo Clowes, project lead for Halo 2 for Windows Vista. The biggest news, as Frankie’s notification post headline might suggest, is that Halo 2 for Vista will support dedicated servers – something…

BLackout77x submitted ‘Savin’ Me’, a music video set to Nickleback’s eponymous tune; it tells an interesting story. Our hero keeps fading into flashbacks of a breakup in the middle of a firefight – his squadmates keep pulling his fat from the fire, but at the cost of their lives. It’s much better if you know…

MLGPro.com has posted a preview of MLG Anaheim, coming up in a week and a half. Good read! Thanks, KP.

Wow. I wouldn’t have expected this… but the latest word on the ‘Halo gun on a non-Halo book cover’ story has taken a new twist; the author posted this morning that as of now, the publisher is planning on printing future copies (including the paperback edition) with a different cover. (This is unofficial, in the…

Stuntmutt continues to mine the Halo 3 trailer for calembouric gold… today’s One One Se7en is actually a puntrocity.

Elnea’s most recent journal entry at Red vs Blue is about MJOLNIR’s Child, a song she wrote to explore the idea of children bred as supersoldiers. It’s really, really good. It is accompanied by a haunting piece of art – we’ve added this to her gallery here. We’re happy to mirror the song, if her…

Nightmare 385 noticed some updates over at the Halouvre – check them out, there’s some amazing artwork in there!

Pixellated found a t-shirt for sale at Split Reason which may or may not be sanctioned by Microsoft… but which would look great on you either way. (A quick run through their inventory shows a Killtrocity shirt with dual SMGs, as well. Update: Boxer pointed out a couple of stickers, as well: Stuck | Body…

Wow, there’s a connection I’ve never seen anyone make before… Geoff Chang has found a relevantly-numbered passage from Nietzsche which certainly ties in nicely with certain aspects of the game! This is more Story page material than anything else… but there it was, sitting on the forum, and i was intrigued. Check it out!

Roger Wolfson, a database programmer at Bungie, spent a few minutes figuring out the ‘average gamertag’ – read his Bungie.net forum post if you want to understand what that means. The average tag? ‘xArKKAAaEX’. And yes… it’s registered, now. (Was registered about an hour after the forum post.) You gotta wonder, sometimes…
