So, we mentioned a hack recently that will let you play Halo 2 Vista on Windows XP – and today, a group known as Razor 1911 released their own crack (I read about it here first, but Cody Miller saw it at Next-Gen) – in response, Dennis Powers, of Halo…

Took us a little while to reach everyone, and get all our ducks in a row… but the results for the HBO Zune Giveaway are now online! On top of the 4 Zunes we promised when this whole thing started out, we’ve convinced Bungie to provide some extra pri…

A week ago, we mentioned the new stuff coming from Master Replicas – a pair of weapon replicas – but at the time, the only info about these could be found on store sites. Last night, ODSTAdrianFii noticed that some info – and a pair of photos – are no…

Wired has posted an article commemorating the 100th episode of Red vs Blue (due to be released tomorrow evening), and looking back over what RvB has stood for (and inspired in others) over the past 4 years. Good read. Thanks, MC_Leprechaun.(Louis Wu 1…

Tango pointed out a new Halo t-shirt (also available in 2XL ) available at Hot Topic – sort of elaborate, but interesting.(Louis Wu 11:23:23 UTC)

We promised that the Zune Giveaway results would be posted by this evening – but we’re having trouble reaching some of the winners, to get higher-resolution versions of their entries for display on the Results page. As soon as they come in, we’ll post…

trigger119 sent word of Mario vs. Spartan, a short machinima with a very well-done battle scene between Mario and a Halo 2 Spartan. It’s only a few megs – go grab it! (If you’re curious about the new TLD for GamingTV, read this post.)(Louis Wu 21:50:0…

Heh – a reporter for the Edmonton Sun challenged Tom ‘TSquared’ Taylor to a 1v1 match on Lockout. Here’s his side of the story – and here’s MLG’s take. Funny stuff. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 21:40:22 UTC)

rapture was messing around with Google’s new Hot Trends feature, which replaced Zeitgeist. (Check out the top searches for the week ending May 18, 2007…) Hot Trends lets you compare search terms, with lots of interactive features to play with. For e…

eddie m noticed that Red Bull USA posted a video of the Halo Ghost Bike entry to the Flugtag competition this weekend in Nashville… watch the guys ham it up for the camera before their attempt… and then watch the attempt itself. I give ’em straigh…

Nitro288 noticed that the NYCLAN website is advertising a 2v2 Slayer tournament with a $1000 purse, to be held in NYC on July 15. If you’re in the area, give it a shot!(Louis Wu 20:37:14 UTC)

Today’s Guest One One Se7en strip was created by BOLL – and it shows that not everyone is enamored with Halo 3’s bubble shield. Folks might want to keep this strip in mind when playing against Stuntmutt this fall…(Louis Wu 17:03:15 UTC)

Sane Intolerant let us know that he’s created two new Halo Toy Box strips – he says they’re both centered around Shadowrun. Look Before You Teleport, and Reusable Targets. I don’t get them. But then, I never played Shadowrun. (Please don’t flood me wi…

Skavenger, unhappy that he’s been out of the Halo news for so long, has whipped up a really cool piece of machinima. Oh, wait, that’s right… he’s only really capable of mediocre films. Unwilling to foist that sort of work on you, he’s fallen back on…

Gravemind has taken a look at the human weapons Bungie has included in the Halo series, and wondered a little about how they’d work if Bungie had stuck closer to reality in their design. (As he says in his forum post, it’s just a “what if” speculation…

Wow. bs angel has customized her pink Spartan… with a screaming guitar. LOVE the frets. (Louis Wu 12:32:29 UTC)
