MikeMan27 submitted to the MPRRS a new movie he’d edited – ItWasLuck’s 5th montage. This film is up for grabs at Halo2Forums.com in WMP9 format, and weighs in at 100 mb (it’s almost 9 minutes long), but since it passed the MPRRS (handily, I should add), we’re making a QuickTime version available, as well, for…

Swing by and light a birthday candle for High Impact Halo, which turned two a few days ago. Awesomeness!

The new Weekly Update has been posted – a nice little Q&A. You can read it on Bungie.net, in our Weekly Update Archive, or at Halo: Portable for your PSP. Who was first? Who do you think?

If you’ve got questions for Bungie, swing by Bungie.net and post ’em in this thread – Frankie will answer (some of) them in tonight’s Weekly Update. Gogogo!

Joseph Staten, a graduate of Northwestern University, will be back at his alma mater on April 22 to talk about Halo, and the writing of its story. It’s part of a full day of seminars from NWU alumni – the full day is $65 (with lunch), a half day is $45, and a single seminar…

Mintz writes to point out the new content at Halo: Portable, which now supports the iPod and PocketPC in addition to the original PSP content – you can find Wedow and Vinny Jones’ montage, in multiple portable formats, Bungie’s interview with Burnie Burns, and a truly annoying welcome to Funkmon, who’s joined the staff there.…

Peptuck found an interesting clip of a remix of ‘Under Cover of Night’ – read his forum post for more details. The full version can be purchased as part of a remix album.

Halomaps.org has upgraded the functionality of their Halo CE Server list – you can see full map lists (to make sure you have them before joining), gametypes, uptime, and so on. Great stuff! If you’re playing HaloCE online, this is invaluable.

It’s April 7th… which means it’s time for… that’s right, another 7 on the 7th contest! (Yeah, as though we’ve been doing one of these every 7th.) Anyway, this one is fun; grab some Halo action figures, pose ’em up nice (keep it clean, we’re going to toss entries that are obscene), write a funny…

Captain Spark dropped off another 19 dialogue snippets – you can grab ’em in bulk from his site, or browse ’em in our Dialogue Databank. There’s one that’s unintelligble to me – and Spark didn’t even try it, so he clearly couldn’t hear it either. (If you can tell what the brute is saying, let…

MPRRS has reached it’s first 365 days of service. We have a living, viable solution that reduces work for Louis Wu and keeps the best of the best rolling for the community. As a side benefit we have also helped numerous movie makers increase their skills. Want to see some statistics, visit the forum posting.

What’s worse than random speculation about Halo 3? Random puns about it… go read One One Se7en.

A megaman Master Chief? It’s Photoshop Phriday at Something Awful – thanks, Michael M.

Sixteen new stories in today’s Fan Fiction update… what are you waiting for?

Narcogen adds still MORE to his ‘rampant speculation’ about what’s next for the Halo series over at Rampancy.net – Part III looks at potential alliances and future actions. Go read!

Over at Bungie.net, you’ll find a new Community Spotlight; Frankie got a bunch of information out of Iain ‘Dalteth’ Nelson, a Warhammer/Halo fanatic. The pictures in the article are the same as the ones you’ll find in our Miscellaneous section (we actually have more of them) – but the interview material is pretty interesting stuff.…

Today’s Carzorthade combines Halo with what might just turn out to be the worst movie evar. Funny stuff, though. Thanks, Eric Lundequam.

Narcogen continues his rampant speculation about what might be coming in the next installment of the Halo story – whenever and however that shows up. Some very solid logic in there; reading it might spark some interesting connections for you. Give it a look-see!

Podtacular Episode 57, looking at Halo 3, is now up – thanks, Fr3d-105.

If you’re in New York state, about an hour north of the city, there’s a tourney at the Hudson Valley Mall in Kingston this weekend (Google maps), hosted by True Skill Gaming. Details (and an email contact) can be found in this flyer. A significant chunk of the HBO staff will be there – not…
