Bluestrike2 sends word that the MLG PwnCast has released The MLG PwnCast on Demand video trailer – requires QuickTime 7 or iTunes 6 (download links are in the news post), and it’s formatted for an iPod. Check it out!

Heh – remember a week or two ago, when we mentioned that the next Game With Fame event on Xbox Live would be with members of the band INXS? According to this article in the Vancouver Sun, more than 20,000 people have signed up in hopes of snagging one of the 100 slots available. Wow!

Another art update – this one from Dillo, who points out first Etoli’s DeviantART gallery (Etoli is a regular at the Halo Babies site), and then points out a number of her own new works. Nice stuff!

Pinkuh, as well, posted another piece of work (which we’ve added to her gallery) – this one is not g-rated. It’s a new species of the Covenant – one with a single purpose. Where does she come up with this stuff? (Pinkuh has a pretty major problem right now – her computer is dying. If…

RocketMoose found a bunch of fun Halo art over at LiveJournal – check out the links!

I ran across this Flash animation at Newgrounds when reading a RedvsBlue member’s journal. Earth is under attack by Covenant forces. And we don’t do so good.

Elnea sent along a new avatar for her gallery here – lordsmurph looks rather graceful with that flag!

Phil Shiel hunted down the website for Muckle Mannequins – the folks who make those resin sculptures that come up for sale on eBay every once in a while. It’s all framed – but if you start at the home page, and follow the ‘Quick Menu’ at the bottom right to ‘Halo 2’, you’ll get…

The latest Bungie Weekly Update was posted a couple of hours ago – they’re hiring, there’s some cool stuff about the audio team, and there’s new schwag coming out. And oh, yeah… a naked mister chief. Sort of. You can find this in our local BWU archive, as well. I haven’t been to the forum…

We’re proud to announce the first in a series of bungie.org/Bungie.net contests – Killer Grunts. (Bungie.net is involved only in the sense that they’re providing the goodies you can win – so don’t bug ’em if you’re unhappy with the situation. Blame us.) The contest is simple: put together some box art for a (fictional)…

Today’s One One Se7en calls in a guest character for commentary on an issue that certainly riles up the fanbase…

Phil Shiel sent us a pic of the Master Chief Resin Statue (228K) he bought off eBay a few days ago – it’s the one we mentioned here. Looks awesome next to the high-end TV equipment he plays Halo 2 on! (I guess we’re doing some decent advertising for eBay sellers; the M6D replica we…

Jefu Kune points out that the Stubbs the Zombie demo (for Xbox) can be found on the current cover DVD for the Official Xbox Magazine. (We mentioned the Mac and PC demos a few days ago.) You can now try this Halo-engined game on whatever platform you prefer!

Very cool – over at MLG, you’ll find A Newcomers Guide to Halo 2 at MLG – Part I. This is a great intro to MLG-standard weapons, and basic strats for them. Nice! Thanks, 3Suns.

Twenty new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today – go read!

The Bungie Humpday Challenge was back yesterday – even though it wasn’t Humpday, they weren’t playing Halo, and in fact they weren’t even playing anyone outside of Bungie Studios. The writeup’s pretty funny, though, so go read it! Frankie was first – as usual. Cheater. (The contest he mentioned will be made public later today,…
