Dweezle took over this week with the announcing job on Tied the Leader updates; you’ll find a 22 Questions interview with Wayn0ka (one of TTL’s leaders), an explanation for the lack of new content from XerxdeeJ, and a Community Profile of Game-Spectrum, an Xbox Community site. What are you waiting for?(Louis Wu 13:37:18 UTC)

Deekor stopped by to announce a Comedy Competition being held by the Halo Machinima Association – from what I can tell, there aren’t any prizes, but submit anyway, for the glory of it!(Louis Wu 13:31:46 UTC)

Mid7night continues his portage of Halo material to X-Plane – next up, a Covenant Assault Carrier. Check it out!(Louis Wu 13:30:03 UTC)

Mister Froggy has updated Halo, Articulated again – Episode 23 looks at Captain Keyes, and his foibles.(Louis Wu 13:26:17 UTC)

Wow. Cool Lego Hog/Spectre (more Spectre shots if you follow the ‘more’ link in this set). Thanks, cowfrommars.(Louis Wu 19:55:04 UTC)

Jobyn pointed out a new website for ThePanicAttacks; it’s worth looking through, there’s a TON of content in there. Tutorials, strategy guides, movies… go look.(Louis Wu 19:48:51 UTC)

Rockslider is STILL coming up with new stuff to do on Silent Cartographer. Go read about it.(Louis Wu 19:42:29 UTC)

Stuntmutt STILL hasn’t recovered from Friday’s Legendary Edition price bump – go check today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 13:03:05 UTC)

More Player Match Commentary at MLGPro.com – this time it’s Karma, discussing Carbon’s performance against Final Boss in New York last year. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 12:18:04 UTC)

xbryboyremix wrote to say that Halopen Films needs new machinimators – badly. If you’re interested in making good machinima with a clan with a solid pedigree, check these guys out! (They’ve made not one, not two, but FOUR advertising vids – watch ’em and become inspired: ADVideo | Halopen Ad | Halopen Cameraman Ad |…

MasterChief2829 pointed out a new Halo 2 mod from MrMurder – I must say, it’s pretty! Description and link in the first post, more pics in this one.(Louis Wu 12:09:15 UTC)

Sane Intolerant stopped by to point out two new Halo Toy Box strips – one makes fun of Stuntmutt and Mister Froggy, the other riffs on 300. (Louis Wu 12:07:31 UTC)

Stuntmutt got burned by my mistake regarding Halo, Articulated this weekend; he ended up creating a similar gag for tomorrow’s strip – work he wouldn’t have had to do if I’d posted this on time. (Again, sorry.) His loss is your gain, though. (Well… sort of.) He’s put up that orphaned strip, along with some…

Sigafoos wrote to point out The Riot 40, a 28 minute, 11 mb package of Halo news, Halo community news, Brathnok job news, Shadowrun news, and Captain America news. And other stuff. Go listen!(Louis Wu 18:21:44 UTC)

Mister Froggy let us know Friday afternoon about Halo, Articulated 22 – I’d written up a news post then, making some sort of wry comment about the packaging announcement earlier that day. Somehow, it never actually got posted. Froggy rectified my mistake this morning – but I’d like to apologize for the delay. Go read!(Louis…

UEG Gen Flugins and UEG LT Smash put together a montage inspired by HMV Hell – lots of little music clips, setting popular songs to Halo action. Some of them are very funny. (There are many of them – the video is almost 9 minutes long.) I was pessimistic when I started to watch it…

A couple of months ago, Omega found a pretty cool piece of driftwood – it looked a lot like a Brute Shot. He was pessimistic about filling out his Brute armory, however… until yesterday. I’m not sure I’d want to swim in the streams where he lives…(Louis Wu 13:18:00 UTC)

Wow, cool. Mid7night took Infinityloop’s 3D model of the Pillar of Autumn, and put it into X-Plane! Pics and vids available in his forum post.(Louis Wu 18:38:25 UTC)

Podtacular Episode 105 compares Graw 2 to Halo – thanks, Kiaffex.(Louis Wu 18:31:59 UTC)

IGN posted a list of ‘The Top 25 Xbox Games of All Time’ (well, or the last 5.5 years, I guess) – Halo and Halo 2 took first and second, respectively. Nice! Thanks, Morpheus.(Louis Wu 18:30:34 UTC)
