The Bungie Blog has highlighted another trick jumping montage – this one from Jump Theory’s KillerxJake. Lots of fun flying on Last Resort, Guardian, and Blackout.(Louis Wu 16:41:53 UTC)

Most Fridays, Hawty McBloggy, Hawty McBloggy puts up a Halo-related picture and asks fans to caption it. It looks like for the month of May, the website LameOrGame.com is doing this every day. (They’ve got a tool that lets you add your caption right to the pic, a la lolcats.) As Dennis Powers mentions, most…

If you’re into social networking, there are plenty of choices these days – the Facebook Nation has more citizens than Brazil, Twitter lets you describe your activity in real time. These aren’t really aimed at gamers, though. Even a site like Rooster Teeth (where I spend most of my social networking time), while oriented towards…

Kotaku’s got news of a Halo CE map that recreates Hyrule, from the Zelda series. If you’re jonesin’ for a bit of nostalgia, check it out! Thanks to GrimBrother One for noticing.(Louis Wu 12:31:51 UTC)

ScrewAttack put together a list of the Top 10 Video Game Punks. (They didn’t actually call them ‘punks’, actually, but we’ll let you watch it for yourself.) Our favorite methane-breathing Covenant minion makes the list. Probably not safe for work, for language. Thanks, MffnMn.(Louis Wu 12:31:04 UTC)

Chris10023 let us know that Halo 3 Fails Episode 18 is now up – it’s sort of fun trying to guess the name of the fails. (I liked ‘Dodge the Corpse Fail’.) Three and a half minutes of things not to do in Halo… (Louis Wu 12:30:24 UTC)

Binge Gamer has posted an article about Halo tattoos – some we’ve seen before, some are new. Interesting collection!(Louis Wu 12:29:58 UTC)

Smashing Magazine did a survey last summer of game site web design – and the Halo Believe site is used as a prime example of the ‘Flash Interactive Site’. The whole thing is a pretty good read, if you’re interested in stuff like this! Thanks, RingWorld07.(Louis Wu 12:28:03 UTC)

urk pointed out ‘The Execution’, a Halo 3 machinima based on the short story ‘An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge’. Filming’s good, story’s nicely put together. Go watch it on YouTube!(Louis Wu 22:10:40 UTC)

Cracked.com put together a collection of fake news stories that fooled the media – number 7 on the list is the 13 year old kid who hired hookers to play Halo with him. (We posted it, without checking, back in May 2008.) Some of the other stories are hilarious. Thanks to Alekat for the heads-up.(Louis…

Looseneck wrote to point out a relatively new Coca Cola Zero ad – the extraction team is carrying weapons that look distinctly Halo-like. (You can see a shot here.) Hmm…(Louis Wu 19:30:10 UTC)
