    The MLG Vidcast #5 is available on the front page of MLGPro.com – most of it is concerned with the MLG Pro Circuit show on USA (you DID watch that this morning, didn’t you?), but there are a couple of minutes of play-by-play focus on the Ogres that haven’t been seen online before. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis…

    EGM’s Mark MacDonald pointed out that the Halo-specific portion of the 1Up show can be watched via streaming flash (or downloaded, in hi-res form) from GameVideos.com. And I’d like to take this opportunity to announce that I’m a little silly sometimes; I described the Halo content in the first news post of the day -…

    A light update this week, but with heavy news about stuff that’s happening next week, which, coincidentally is the birthday of the original Halo for Xbox. Coincidence? Nothing is a coincidence.

    Peter Moore talked to MTV – didn’t really say anything that isn’t known, but he sounded upbeat about the Halo movie, even though it’s on ice for the moment. Thanks to DHalo, who found this at TeamXbox.(Louis Wu 16:23:26 UTC)

    Bungie collected a group of people begrudged by Joe Tung, and then beat them in their first Halo Humpday win in… well, a long time. I guess if you pull a bunch of people together that have nothing but the hate of a Bungie programmer in common, you’ve got a chance that they might not…

    This week Bungie took on a team of people Joe Tung holds a grudge against, for whatever reason. This just goes to show that if you cross the mighty Joe Tung, you’ll get a Humpday, so go do annoying things to him. I suggest bombarding him with XBL messages.
