Devastator sent along a link to another bunch of pics of him at I-Con in a Halo costume recently – check ’em out!

MLG PwnCast posted Episodes 7 and 8 yesterday – go grab ’em from their website! Interview with StK pn SHIBBY in Ep 8, lots of news updates in 7. Tons of new bandwidth, too.

This Spartan Life has both a new episode, and a new website, online at this point. No more massive Flash! Today’s news post contains information about Malcolm McLaren, the latest interviewee on the show; you can grab the episode itself from the Episodes section. Interesting stuff!

One One Se7en looks at what happens when you try to do the right thing. Take the lesson to heart. (The 2-by-x format is a byproduct of Stuntmutt’s April Fools gag.)

3Suns provides a roundup of new stuff at the MLGPro.com website; Player of the Week is Bonfire, Blog of the Week belongs to CodeRed… and the Prize Money Announcement for MLG NY has been posted, and hot dang, there’s almost $30,000 in Halo prizes alone! (There’s another $10k for SSBM.) Check it all out.

LunarShadow dropped by our forum to announce an update of H2O Stats Reader, to bring the program in line with the changes made at Bungie.net this week. You can find a link and more info in the forum post. (There’s at least one report of problems with the new version, as well – so be…

Jay Marrero sent word that the Professional Gamers League has picked up a new member of their Sponsor Team; the winners of the upcoming 4×4 Halo 2 tourney (see this news post) will have registrations fees paid for the rest of the 2006 season, thanks to Astro Studios. More details are available at their site.

Narcogen, at Rampancy.net, takes some massive tokes off the communal crackpipe this morning, in order to put together some speculation on what’s coming next from Bungie. Me? I’m just high on the fumes – and the guy lives 8000 miles away from me. Go read. (The title of this newspost was blatantly stolen from that…

Evil Otto dropped by our forum today, and in the midst of a discussion on Needler-wielding Sentinels and their presence in Halo 2, mentioned an interview he did for Macromedia on using Director to prototype the UI in the game. It’s a great article with a bunch of cool info in it, including a demo…

You might think today’s selection of downloadable Halo videos, from us and other sites, was large enough to be considered ‘complete’ for the day. You’d be wrong. Another vid passed the MPRRS this morning; it was a montage from l PhaLanX l, called ‘Beat It’. He didn’t want hosting, because the WMP9 version is available…

Frankie sat down with Burnie Burns, of Red vs Blue, and got the lowdown on the series, the genre, the team. The whole enchilada. The entire ball o’ wax. The secrets to life, the universe, and everything. Well… okay, maybe not. Just some stuff about Rooster Teeth. And Halo. Go read. (No, you weren’t first.…

Dweezle86 from the TTL Gunslingers has started up another gaming-related (Halo-oriented) blog – go read Dead Man’s Hand. Them Gunslingers… they sure do write a lot!

This morning, I noticed a post on HaloPlanet’s front page; an artist named callous had posted a number of pictures showing some armor he was sculpting for standard 12″ Halo action figures. Amazing stuff – so I asked him if he’d mind if we showcased the work. He said sure – so swing by this…

Over at the Halo CE Chronicles website, you can grab part 6 of the Valley of the Forerunners series. Harrington and the marines are starting to get an idea about how much trouble they’re actually in. Cinematography is quite good on this one. It’s a long one – almost 13 minutes, and weighing in at…

Z sent us word that Halzred’s 5th Montage is now available for download (we mentioned the trailer for it back in January). It’s 106 mb, in WMP9 format; it’s definitely more about the look-and-feel than about the gameplay. (Don’t get me wrong – the gameplay’s pretty impressive, what you can see of it – it’s…

Another video that went through the MPRRS recently was RipHamilton32’s ‘Rip Digital Cable 3’, a series of funny skits set up to look like you’re flipping through cable channels. This one didn’t pass – but it didn’t pass because one reviewer gave it a ridiculously low score (without any justification); we’ve tossed that score, and…
