The LANfest that took place here last week has now been written up on Bungie.net – KP got a little hyperbolic, but there are some great pics. I’d said the last time I’d posted about this LAN that I’d summarize the rest of the writeups at a later date – this seems like a fine…

Over at GameTrailers, you’ll find a trailer, along with the first of three full episodes, of a Behind the Scenes documentary about Video Games Live. This is only peripherally Halo-related, in that Halo is one of the pieces played during the concert, but it’s pretty interesting if you were ever curious about how these guys…

Jay “Ling Ling” Marrero writes to point out a pair of Halo 2 tourneys sponsored by the PGL at Otronicon v2.0 in Orlando, FL, coming up the weekend of January 13/14. Registration is $15 (with a paid Otronicon entrance), and the first place prize for each event is $1000 (with a bunch of other stuff…

IGN has posted a 2-page article discussing why Bungie is so secretive about Halo 3 info. There’s not a lot here that isn’t common sense – but it seems that common sense is a bit less common than one would hope, so if you’re an Insider, go read. (If you’re not an Insider, you can’t…

Luke McKay added a fun little sketch to his Red vs Blue Image collection – we’ve added it to his gallery here. Don’t make a girl a promise you can’t keep…(Louis Wu 11:41:51 UTC)

The Jedi Lord pointed out a new press release – it’ll be all over the web soon, I’d guess, but he found it at Gamerscore Blog – which outlines a pair of ways into the Halo 3 beta program. The first – buying Crackdown – we mentioned last week… but the second – playing 3…

Wandering Tiger has posted a trailer for Mercenary, an upcoming machinima project. Crank your volume to hear it. Available on their site, in both high (6.6 mb) and low (2.3 mb) resolutions, WMP9 for the moment.(Louis Wu 17:59:52 UTC)

Mister Froggy stopped by to mention that he has started up Halo, Articulated, a comic strip that uses action figures. He used feedback from his first attempt to come up with this final product – see what you think!(Louis Wu 16:14:27 UTC)

Sometimes, it’s hard to be objective. Ask Stuntmutt – or just read today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 16:09:58 UTC)

MLGPro.com has put up an article detailing the current state of their Online Halo 2 Tournament; Division 1 group play is now over, they’re moving into bracket play. Go check out who to root for! Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 16:06:54 UTC)
