HaloPlayer stopped by yesterday to point out Lost: Halostyle Episode 12 – “The Plunge: Part 1”. Treading a fine line between comedy and drama, this series continues to please – solid story, solid humor, solid characters. Solid action in this ep, as well – great ideas! Definitely worth the download. (I’d suggest using our local…

Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, has organized all the Halo 3 info he can find into a new Halo 3 FAQ (with a new format) – took a few days to become visible to the masses, but go take a look now!(Louis Wu 11:44:53 UTC)

Bungie.net had word of a new website devoted to online tournaments – Escape Station brings people together to kill each other in lots of games, including Halo 2 (their favorite). Check ’em out!(Louis Wu 11:41:12 UTC)

Stealth_1000 stopped by with news of some new Halo 3 weapons incorporated already into new work from the Custom Map Team – good stuff!(Louis Wu 11:38:47 UTC)

Yesterday, Paul found an article on ComputerandVideoGames.com entitled ‘The worst game endings ever’ – and yes, Halo 2 is on it. (They call it a crime.) (Louis Wu 11:34:40 UTC)

Sigafoos writes to point out The Riot 30 – community discussions, and the announcement of Community Awards for 2006. Voting opens Wednesday, but you can discuss stuff on their forum now. 23 minutes, 9 mb. Go listen.(Louis Wu 20:40:43 UTC)

The More Deluded has been working on a bust of the Arbiter – pretty impressive-looking! Check it out.(Louis Wu 17:29:20 UTC)

leprecaun90210 noticed a writeup on HaloInformer, speculating about the Halo on a Nintendo DS story that popped up a couple of days ago. HaloInformer doesn’t know anything more than the rest of us – but the reasoning is solid. If it turns out to be true, Matt Cassamina’s going to have to rethink how he…

Laird whipped up a test video showing an ODST ready for use in machinima. It’s tiny (about 800k, in either WMP9 format or QuickTime – it’s only 12 seconds long, with no sound) – but the potential is fantastic. Check it out.(Louis Wu 14:53:03 UTC)

It’s been a little while since we added an artist to our Gallery pages – but today, we’re proud to announce a new home for Veegie’s Halo-related artwork. Veegie likes to render stuff – but he does a sizeable amount of 2D work on the result; what you see, often, is a Halo image that…

Wow, totally forgot about this… but today marks the 8th birthday of Bungie.org! Man, that’s like… 3 centuries in internet time! Thanks to Vid Boi for the reminder.(Louis Wu 21:48:45 UTC)

Red vs Blue Episode 87, ‘The Nesting Theory’, is now available for download by Sponsors – Red’s still looking for Sarge, Blue is still trying to keep Tex from being homicidal. Should be up for the public by Monday. Thanks, BigVariable.(Louis Wu 13:56:55 UTC)

MLGPro.com has an interview with Str8 Rippin up – they talk about their successes, and what they can improve on. Nice read. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 13:52:57 UTC)
