Halo is loved – more than once
The BBC Radio 1 Big Games Weekend has picked its top games (we mentioned the vote on Saturday)… Halo 3 made 8th on the list, while Halo: Combat Evolved made 25th (and 39th, oddly), and Halo 2 didn’t make the top 50.(Louis Wu 14:48:53 UTC)

Play Halo, Win a Chance at MS Points
KP mentioned a new Play & Win Sweepstakes on Xbox.com last week – but I’m pretty sure the page wasn’t live until this weekend. It’s a promotion of the new Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 movie (can Washington and Travolta outdo Matthau and Shaw?), and if you register before May 31 (and play a…

Willy stopped by to announce that a winner has been picked in the one-year-anniversary contest for CE United (mentioned here)… and also that CE United will not be shutting its doors. Nice!(Louis Wu 14:47:56 UTC)

Happy Birthday, Rampancy.net!
Narcogen points out that R.net has passed its 10-year anniversary at this point… it seems amazing that Halo’s been in our lives for so much time! (Louis Wu 14:47:29 UTC)

Give it a look-see, though – it’s a lot of fun. Update: wow… apparently that was just Part 2. Part 1…

The latest episode of DigitalPh33r’s Hard Justice is now live on YouTube – looks like Bernard’s in trouble… and Max is still in Canada. Nearly 12 minutes long. Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 14:46:31 UTC)

Tag and Release – Fun
Even though yesterday was a holiday, Bungie posted a new Tag and Release feature, showing off screenshots using the tag ‘fun’. I’m not sure that term is properly used in all cases – but it can’t be denied that the shots are well-composed! (Louis Wu 14:45:34 UTC)

It’s difficult to find words to express the privilege I feel to have been involved in this site and to have been a fan of Bungie for more than fifteen years and of Halo now for ten. So on the occasion of this, Rampancy.net’s tenth anniversary (first post here) I thought I would just make…

LazerTAG MA5B Assault Rifle
A Halo fan bought a Halo toy and filled it with Lazer Tag internals, ending up with a laser tag gun that looks like a Halo assult rifle. Nice work! (Finished product is here, a shot with the creator is here.) Thanks, LazerBlader.(Louis Wu 14:58:21 UTC)
