    Ever broken your Xbox Live headset, and then felt sad because you didn’t have money to buy a new one? This isn’t totally Halo-related… but there are a lot of Halo players in this boat, so… check out Thomas Reynolds’ tutorial (with pics) on how to fix a broken headset.

    Heroes & Heretics Episode 3, ‘Operation: Bloated Rodent’, is now available for download. Almost 7 minutes long, it indroduces you to the Mark VIa Combat Exoskeleton, and what happens when insane people try to work together. Hilarious stuff! Go grab a copy at Slacker Entertainment’s website.

    Thanks to Amaroq and Ducain, High Speed Halo is back online! (The URL has changed slightly, but that’s only because the .org was snatched by a squatter.) Go check out this classic Halo site.

    Se7en One put together a documentary on the Glide Dragon (otherwise known as QuadWings, seen primarily on the Delta Halo level of Halo 2) – it’s built entirely in 3ds max. It was submitted to the MPRRS – and didn’t pass… but KP agreed to offer hosting space on Boomerica, so you can visit SO’s…

    Way behind on stuff – life’s getting a bit out of control right now. A couple of days ago, DocOctavius posted word of a new HaloCE map on our forum – you can grab a flythrough of the beta version, or download the map (there are pics included in the forum post). Looks like a…

Go read! (Or read it in our Weekly Update Archive.) ‘First’ credit…

    If you check out the latest Bungie Weekly Update (I link to the b.org copy as it loads so clean and fast) you’ll find an interesting tidbit that may spell doom to future ‘prizes’ in the next Bungie game. Noguchi has been "making a pony." Since he always speaks in metaphor I was annoyed, until…

    Apologies for the downtime last night; the webserver decided to simply keel over. (The server never went down – just the application.) Things SEEM to be back up and running – I think.

    Captain Spark released another batch of dialogue snippets – you can grab ’em on his site, or in the Dialogue Databank. (Yes, I know there are others still waiting in the queue – but CS submits so many, I automated the addition of his files; adding ones that are not formatted the same way takes…
