BitMaP stopped by our forum last night with a new Strouperman comic – not so much Halo-related, as RedvsBlue related, but hey…(Louis Wu 14:39:53 UTC)

Mister Froggy pointed out Halo, Articulated #28 – I must say, it doesn’t paint the Master Chief in a very flattering light…(Louis Wu 14:37:54 UTC)

Wow, very cool. Microsoft has announced a Disc Replacement Program – if you have a damaged Xbox 360 disc that they publish, and you own a 360, they’ll send you a new one, at a reduced rate. Halo 2 falls into this category – so if you’ve got a 360, and a non-functional Halo 2…

Today’s One One Se7en was submitted last week – but it’s funnier than a similar joke posted yesterday at TeamXbox.(Louis Wu 18:01:51 UTC)

Zerowind117 put together a short documentary about setting up a LANfest – specifically a Halo 2 LANfest. Video is hosted at Google. Take a look.(Louis Wu 18:00:08 UTC)

It seems that every year, people have trouble figuring out which April Fools stories are true, and which are not. (We don’t help very much; we intersperse regular Halo news bits with April Fools stories as they come in, and rarely draw attention to the fact that they may or may not be real.) For…

Last night, I was lucky enough to find myself at the Video Games Live concert that was performed at Yale University’s Woolsey Hall. Great music, for a couple of hours… and then the piece de resistance – the standard Halo theme, followed immediately by the Halo 3 ‘Finish The Fight’ piece. Miguel Chavez was able…

Sigafoos points out The Riot 42, with coverage of the community, the new maps, and some silly soap opera stuff. And more, of course. 31 minutes, 12.5 mb.(Louis Wu 20:59:36 UTC)

Filmspot has info about the resurrection of the Halo movie – new details include Lions Gate as the new studio, Steve Downes confirmed as the Master Chief. More in the article. Thanks, BlueNinja.(Louis Wu 19:21:07 UTC)

Bungie.net has posted an apology for an industry leak of the upcoming Pimps at Sea movie – apparently, a distributor leaked a poster that was NOT supposed to be public. I guess this has the potential of hurting the upcoming ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ finale… it’s not Halo-related, but it IS Bungie-related, and if anybody…

Hardly Halo-related, except for the names… but TeamXbox has a story about the new Xbox 360 Brute Edition (a step up from the Elite Edition). 1TB drive, Super Multi Blue drive (reads both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD), motion-sensitive controller. List price of $599. Thanks, MasterChief2829.(Louis Wu 16:49:53 UTC)

After almost four years of strips, Stuntmutt has finally updated the look of One One Se7en. (Details on the changes can be found in his personal blog – swing by and let him know what you think of the new look!)(Louis Wu 14:55:10 UTC)

Simply Greg stopped by to point out Energy Episode 4: The Aeros – we’re getting a glimpse at the bigger picture. This is available in quite a few formats – check his forum post for details.(Louis Wu 14:47:55 UTC)

Mini-update from Devrous about FS2H, his Freespace 2 Halo project. Dangerous day for mini-updates…(Louis Wu 14:15:13 UTC)

Team Xbox has a story about the ‘Power In My Platform’ edition of Halo 3, estimated retail price of $999.99 – instead of just a helmet, you get the whole Spartan. Comes with pretty special content – read the story. Thanks, Spec_Ops_Assault (and Wayward Spleen™).(Louis Wu 14:12:06 UTC)

Game Stooge has an article about Halo Zero, an upcoming prequel to the Halo series starring the I Love Bees cast. Joystiq cries foul. Thanks, Spec_Ops_Assault.(Louis Wu 14:07:21 UTC)

We got word from bndud that a trailer for ‘Cops and Robbers: Robbers Unite’ has been released – swing by their website to grab a copy (2:19, 22 mb, WMP9 format). THe ywant to make clear they’re not an RvB ripoff, even though their color scheme is Red and Blue. Cinematography looks good – release…

MLG held a Halo 2 Online Tournament last week – the writeup is now available, with some cool stats at the end. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 13:31:23 UTC)

Mister Froggy tries to let you know to be careful when playing April Fool’s jokes on your friends, in today’s Halo, Articulated.(Louis Wu 13:28:15 UTC)

Sane Intolerant sent word of a new Halo Toy Box – looks like things are getting violent.(Louis Wu 13:27:00 UTC)
