Sigafoos sent word that WikiRiot 19 is ready for download – 29 mb, 1:11 long, with two interviews (WillClan4Food and Podtacular), as well as other assorted silliness. Go listen.(Louis Wu 22:14:13 UTC)

Luke McKay doodled a Master Chief yesterday… I’m guessing he was a bit annoyed at something. We’ve added it to his Gallery here.(Louis Wu 19:05:27 UTC)

Halo Wars Central sat down with Dispraiser to talk about the shutdown of the Halogen project, and what Slipstream is up to at this point. (Halogen’s website seems to have gotten hacked today; unclear how long that will stay true.) Give it a read… sounds like they’re moving on to other things!(Louis Wu 18:51:19 UTC)

The Palm Beach Post has a large writeup of Tom ‘TSquared’ Taylor in today’s edition; some fun facts in there. Give it a read!(Louis Wu 18:28:01 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update went up a bit late this week, because Frankie’s doing unspeakable things in unspeakable places (which, apparently, don’t have access to the intarwebs) – KP put one up this morning, in his stead. It’s entertaining, and informative if you were really curious about a day in the life of Marty O’Donnell…

Pothole Studios submitted ‘Over the Limit, Act 0 – The Pheonix Army’ (yes, the typo’s intentional) to the MPRRS; it lingered for a bit, but the reviewers are back on track and have cleared out all backlogged submissions – this one passed. They didn’t want hosting – the video is available from their site, in…

xbryboyremix remastered his highly-regarded video ‘Corrupt’ – enhanced video, remastered digital audio, realistic visual effects… the MPRRS liked the changes, so we’re swapping the old links for new ones. It’s roughly the same size as it used to be – 78 mb for the WMP9 version, 83.5 mb for the QuickTime version; you can grab…

More MLG Pro Picks – this time it’s Ghandi. I think I’m gonna have to say that’s the last one we’re gonna point out – this could go on for a long, long time. If you’re interested in how the Halo pros view the upcoming playoffs… I’d say you should visit MLG more often. Thanks,…

Adam Chapman noticed a Flash Halo game at Games121 – it’s pretty basic, but hey! Give it a try. I found I could kill about 50 baddies before losing my 100 health points – this goes with my 1:2 kill-to-death ratio on Xbox Live pretty nicely. So you folks with 5:1 K:D ratios should put…

2old2play took a look at the evolution of the First Person Shooter – it’s called ‘Wolfenstein: There and Back Again’, and it traces our love with this genre from its birth in 1992 through the present. Halo, not surprisingly, makes an appearance. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 13:26:18 UTC)

Ouch. Latest news about Gears of War (Joystiq and Xboxic) is that you will not be able to play ranked games with your friends; the TrueSkill ranking system requires that you go into a game paired up with people with roughly the same ability as you have – randomized. You can play with a party…

Pixellated noticed that over at Press Start To Play, there’s a piece of promotional art for Otokon that features a Spartan and an Elite (check the October 6 news post).(Louis Wu 12:55:44 UTC)

Red vs Blue Episode 79 has been posted for sponsors (which means, of course, that it’ll be two days before it’s available for everybody else) – almost 5 minutes of great lines from Sarge and the gang. I like Shiela when she’s crazy. Looks like Psychophan7 was first. (Oh, yeah, and speaking of Sarge… there…
