A few weeks ago, we pointed out a song written by ncsuDuncan and sung by Tomasooie – sound quality was the biggest lack. This bothered Photolysis, so he did something about it. And I hate Mediafire, so I’ve rehosted the final product (3.6 mb). It even…

Robowski sent word that the Post Game Carnage Report team just released a special HCEA-focused podcast – with a guest from Drunken Halo. Go listen! (Louis Wu 18:09:51 UTC)

That Halo Fanon contest we mentioned a few days ago has gotten easier to enter. (Plus, you can vote for their Fourth Annual Halo Fanon awards while you’re over there.) Read Grizzlei’s post for details. (Louis Wu 18:08:53 UTC)

OXM UK posted an article that tries to nail down why Halo is more important than other Xbox shooters. Not sure I buy it all – but it’s an interesting read. Thanks, ElzarTheBam. (Louis Wu 18:07:32 UTC)

Last night, very late, the Halo Bulletin hit the web (thanks, ZaneZavin). Amidst tips to improve your Halo gaming experience and a photo montage of 343 employees participating in Movember, you’ll find details of the changes set to come to Halo matchma…

The second match of the Rooster Teeth Office HORSE Semifinals was posted recently (AchievementHunter.com | YouTube) – Michael faced off against Marshall, who apparently has some Halo skillz he never admitted to. The competition goes all the way to rou…

So Metalingus627 stopped in with a request for 343 – he wants to see the Battle of Earth given its due in fiction form. One of the responses to his thread came from Leviathan… who already had this idea, and may or may not actually follow through on …

HC Redemption has a new challenge for you – this one is a part of the HC Community Challenge Series, and it features GrifballHub. The lower difficulties seem reasonable… but things get pretty tough near the top of the scale! Do you have what it take…

New comics are coming from Marvel – Halo: Fall of Reach – Invasion debuts early next year, and IGN has some cover art to whet your appetite. Thanks, Leviathan.(Louis Wu 15:25:20 UTC)

kornman00 let us know that Game Developer magazine’s December issue has an interview with Bungie’s Hao Chen – which led Hedgemony to point out a short but intriguing preview for that interview at Gamasutra. What have they learned about game engines fr…

Evil Otto stopped in with word of a Halo mod for Empire at War – it’s a total conversion, including new models, effects, sounds, music, gameplay mechanics, and more. If you like what you see, voting for Mod of the Year is active!(Louis Wu 15:16:03 UTC)

SEspider put together a few Halo characters in a new style. Adorable! (Louis Wu 15:13:14 UTC)

Frank O’Connor spoke to OXM UK recently – he was surprised by the love for Master Chief (to the point where folks were unhappy he wasn’t in Reach). Thanks, ElzarTheBam.(Louis Wu 15:07:52 UTC)

Hey – it’s not Halo news, but we’re still the most active bungie.org subsite, so this is a fine place to mention that Bungie is once again reminding people to sign up for their Beta testers list… you never know what sort of goodies you’ll earn!(Loui…

Daniel ‘Tyrant’ Morris finished off his final video for his LASO Challenge Walkthrough – Pillar of Autumn has now been posted online! Just over half an hour, lots of new tricks. Go watch!(Louis Wu 17:14:46 UTC)
