Funny Beta-related cartoon at Red vs Blue today…(Louis Wu 18:27:31 UTC)

Trust Stuntmutt to find humor in a miserable situation – check today’s One One Se7en. …wait, WHAT? Scratch that ‘humor’ part…(Louis Wu 16:39:43 UTC)

Adam Kovic, from Machinima.com, sent word of a new contest – grand prize is a Halo 3 Legendary Edition, plus an accessory of your choice. (There are two other prizes as well, containing the other two versions of Halo 3.) You’ve got until June 16 to su…

Over at h2vista.net, there’s news that Halo 2 Vista has been released in Australia (a bit ahead of the revised schedule) – and that there are indications that the map tools work under Windows XP. (Not the game itself – just the tools. Still – that’s g…

We’ve mentioned Halo-related content for Microsoft Flight Sim before (here, and here) – now Bobflop points out a Pelican addon at Simviation. Take a look!(Louis Wu 14:12:41 UTC)

Devrous had some hard drive problems recently – but he’s back now, with new content for his Freespace 2 to Halo conversion. Check out his forum post for pictures and movies!(Louis Wu 14:09:28 UTC)

A few days ago, we mentioned some Halo 3 Beta shirts that Kotaku was planning to give away – they’ve decided how, now. Dress up as the Master Chief, take a picture of yourself, and send it in – best couple of pics win, I guess. You’ve got until June 1….

This is pretty strange… Gamespot has bundled up 25 Halo 2 desktops created by Bungie (and served from Bungie.net) and made them available for download – to Gamespot members. (Again – these are all available at Bungie.net – in many more resolutions t…

Ten new pieces available in the Fan Fiction section this week – go read!(Louis Wu 13:42:09 UTC)

Geek.com has a review of the Halo 3 Beta.(Louis Wu 13:20:43 UTC)

Here’s someone who thinks ‘Limited Editions’ are silly. Do you agree?(Louis Wu 12:58:58 UTC)

Gamespot put up a feature entitled ‘Halo 3 Graphics Tour’ – it contains 3 pages of screenshots from Halo 2 and Halo 3 (mouse over the pics to see the Halo 3 versions). I think they could have done a better job of picking screens that matched each other…

Heh – Yesterday, VG Cats put up a Halo-related strip… this is definitely one of the biggest problems with the Mongoose, just ask Joe Staten and KP. Thanks to Pak in the #hbo IRC channel for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 12:34:36 UTC)

You might remember, a bit over a year ago, gunluva posted some pics of some Halo weapons he’d created from cardboard and duct tape. Well, he’s back, with a Spartan Laser, a sniper rifle, some ARs, and a BR. Check it out!(Louis Wu 12:29:59 UTC)

Wow. For all the people who said that Bungie doesn’t care… you guys can pull your feet out of your mouths now. Microsoft screwed up AGAIN – and for some reason, the 3pm remailing of the ‘Rule of 3’ codes never actually happened. Rather than letting t…

Not much else to say.(Louis Wu 22:37:51 UTC)

Over at Bungie.net, there’s an update for the ‘Rule of 3’ contestant winners – Microsoft plans to resend ALL codes one more time, this afternoon at 3PM PDT. (That’s in just over 2 hours, at the time of this writing.) MAKE SURE you’re not blocking mail …

A few days ago, Anton P. Nym noticed that one of the computers in the small room behind the flag on High Ground was emitting Morse Code – it took a little while for a recording to be made, but today, Cocopjojo uploaded one, and in short order Ducain tr…

We’ve received a number of emails from folks who won entrance to the Beta via the ‘Rule of 3’ contest last December, but haven’t yet gotten their invite – and I can only imagine that Bungie has received orders of magnitude more. It truly does suck to h…

Second Foundation, the guys behind the Riot podcast, are kicking off a new project soon – Macro-Syllabic is creating an ‘audio play’ (think I Love Bees style) called ‘Bungalo Blues’. It’s not out yet (they’re not really foolish enough to try and compet…
