So the rumors about a HD remake of the first Halo are ramping up again – The BS Police found a mention that the latest issue of Xbox 360 World is hoping to see it at E3, and OXM UK is happy to join in the speculation, too (thanks, kornman00). We’ll nee…

Hedge put together a very nice pano on Tempest… and then had to go and make it dirty. Oh, Hedge. (The thread’s pretty funny, though.) (Louis Wu 15:48:59 UTC)

GreyThor posted a summary of his experience at the All’s Well LAN that happened last weekend – but the absolute best part of his writeup concerned the drive back, not the LAN itself. Go give it a read. I’m still smiling.(Louis Wu 15:48:26 UTC)

Saturday evening, SonGoharotto posted the latest chapter in his canon-friendly Halo rewrite – Keyes takes us through the recovery of the Captain’s neural implants. Great read!(Louis Wu 15:47:58 UTC)

If you get a chance, check out Waypoint today for a look back at the Halo Array, another story-based piece giving an overview of the deadly ringworlds built by the Forerunners. As always, it can be viewed from your console or WP7 phone as well. Check i…

A light crackle fills the air, raising the hair on their necks. Fire and fury pumps in their blood. Twenty-eight communities will charge into battle. Only one will reign supreme. On the other side of the river, a large commotion rings in the air. Smoke…

Back from Wu’s epic LAN party, munky-058 made a behind-the-scenes documentary on what might be the last ever Halo LAN from the big man. It’s a 200 MB download, clocking in at nearly 15 minutes, but it’s certainly worth the watch! Update: Quicktime vers…

The writeups from the All’s Well LAN last weekend have begun to roll in – I guess it took folks the week to recover. I already mentioned nof’s paean in the post mentioning the photo galleries – but you absolutely MUST watch Mig’s dramatic reading of it…

FyreWulff continues to document the Super Jackpot Weekends – this week, it’s Team Classic. If you hang out in the playlist on Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday, you’ve got a chance at a 15k jackpot each day. Not too shabby! If you missed any so far, He’s …

RVideo sent us a link to BAKSMAK and Dater’s SWAT dualtage – five and a half minutes of headshot madness. It’s not surprising that the targeting control is seriously precise – after all, getting Killtastrophes is unusual, even in SWAT – but what struck…

Spawn.com has information about upcoming series of Halo Action Figures – this fall will bring three new groups. Go read about ’em!(Louis Wu 01:35:05 UTC)

urk’s back in town, which means the Bungie Weekly Update is back in business. Ridiculing of Firefight idlers, displays of vehicle awesomeness, and complaints about man musk abound. Go read. (It’s in our Weekly Update Archive, as well.)(Louis Wu 00:14:…

We will show thee things which must be hereafter.

Rockslider likes to blow things up. Big things, little things, doesn’t matter. They just need to go boom. Latest article on Bad Cyborg is a how-to on lighting Grunts up spectacularly. Go read!(Louis Wu 19:51:44 UTC)

Co-Optimus’ DjinniMan writes about Halo as a kid-friendly game, for the latest Co-Op Casual Friday column. Interesting piece! (For the record, my sons began playing Halo at ages 5 and 6, back in 2001.)(Louis Wu 19:22:19 UTC)

Fails of the Weak Volume 36 is live now (thanks, ZZoMBiE13) – I laughed. More than once.(Louis Wu 18:48:49 UTC)

Like a mythical creature, the sighting of Marty O’Donnell is a rare treat to behold. With the help of the ESA and E3, Video Games Live has managed to capture the wild beast for your meeting and greeting pleasure. If you’re going to L.A. for E3, or if y…

Last weekend, a rather large LAN event was held at HBO HQ – 33 people participated. Some of them were Bungie employees. There haven’t been any text writeups yet (I’m still planning on doing one), but a huge number of photographs were taken over the wee…

It’s not in Stephen Loftus’ Signs of Halo collection, but this message, painted on the interior wall of a C130 Hercules and photographed by MasterPIE (closeup here), may look familiar to some players…(Louis Wu 17:44:42 UTC)
