  • Halo’s in the paper everywhere

    More newspaper articles from forum members – Spu7n1k grabbed the rest of the Singapore Digital Life article we mentioned a couple of days ago, Rosco-128 snagged some pics from the Queensland (Australia) Courier Mail, and plasmAGuy scanned (and translat…

  • Huntsville Greenways

    At the advice of a friend I recently tried a new running trail off Old Madison Pike called Indian Creek Greenway. I really enjoyed it. It is 100% paved, plus the side of the pavement is closely trimmed grass so runners can run on grass if they prefe…

  • RedvsBlue guys make new machinima

    That game looks pretty sweet too! Anyone heard about it? Here is the homepage for this series from Rooster Teeth: http://magic.roosterteeth.com __________________________ currently playing: Shadowrun on the back burner: Catan, HALO 3 beta, Guita…

  • I thought she was 18, officer.

    Black Aye slipped something in my beer last night, and when I woke up, an interview was posted on his website. (Follow the link in the first news post.) And then he’s brazen enough to post on our forum about it… man, when this hangover goes away, I’…

  • That’s just way too many kills.

    Over on Bungie.net, you’ll find an interview with SmokedYeti. Who’s SmokedYeti, you ask? Oh, nobody… he’s just the first guy to gain ‘General’ rank in the Halo 3 Beta. Over 20,000 kills (in over 1100 games) – it’s unlikely you’re gonna catch up to h…

  • Pwned List

    xMixMasterX pointed out a new stats site – it’ll take a while to grab your Halo 3 Beta data, and it’s switching back to Halo 2 on June 11, so if you haven’t registered yet, you’ll be doing it twice in a week… but if you want someplace that can add u…

  • War Craft

    This week’s Halo Humpday Challenge had a bunch of Blizzard guys meeting a bunch of Bungie guys on the field of battle – but not along company lines. They split up every game, making it really hard to tell who was challenging whom (and why). The writeup…

  • Now a Warthog

    Last month, we mentioned a Pelican addon for Microsoft Flight Simulator – gijake noticed that a Warthog has been added to the same page. Check it out!(Louis Wu 22:35:15 UTC)

  • Halo 3 fiddy bux

    Blackstar found a pretty nice price for Halo 3 – saves you $10, at least. Check it out!(Louis Wu 22:32:31 UTC)

  • Humpday Challenge: Epic Mounting

    We demanded massive amounts of Gold, tier 6 Gear and flying Phoenix Mounts. Instead all we got were these three games.

  • Meet the Beta’s First General: SmokedYeti

    Rising above the rank and file is SmokedYeti, an internal beta veteran who recently became the first “General” in Halo 3.

  • ManCannon Vids Wanted

    James “Peench” McCormick, of PreGameLobby.com, let us know that the site is giving away a Halo 3 Beta shirt (one of the green ones from the press event, not the charcoal or brown ones you can buy at the Bungie Store). You have to hurry, though – the c…

  • RT: School Spirit

    Today’s comic is posted below. I hope to have a sponsor comic up later as well. This is a quick post, as we have another one coming here pretty soon, and I have to get back to working on 99. Ta ta. Go Horns (not really)

  • When Pigs Fly.

    Almost forgot to post this – rapture found a version of Halo 2 for a platform nobody ever expected. (Local version of the image, if they happen to fix it.) Nice typo!(Louis Wu 16:56:49 UTC)

  • A Phoenix Tat

    This isn’t exactly Halo-related… but phoenix.bungie.org is pretty dead, and the Phoenix team DID all move on to work on Halo 2, and it’s cool. John Andersen dropped Gholsbane a line (Gholsbane created the original EPS line art that folks messed with…

  • Just Vid It.

    Dang. Those High Speed Halo guys are HARDCORE. Check out Full Path Halo – a project designed to see how fast Halo levels can be speedrun… with all baddies being killed. The Halo Vidmaster is finally defined. Thanks, Ducain.(Louis Wu 14:35:40 UTC)

  • Master Chief Model

    Kiory dropped in with pictures of his new Master Chief model. Take a look!(Louis Wu 14:20:31 UTC)

  • Noobs Gone Wild: Beta!

    BoneKin has put together some fun “omg what did you do!” moments in a video he calls “Noobs Gone Wild: Beta!” If you’ve never done any of these yourself… I don’t ever want to play with you.(Louis Wu 14:16:55 UTC)

  • I wonder if it goes faster because of…

    ManKitten has been playing a lot of Forza 2 lately… but he never forgets his roots. Props.(Louis Wu 13:51:50 UTC)
