3Suns writes to let us know that MLG have released their 2007 Halo 2 Gametypes, Rules, and Changes. Lots of new stuff, including shared squop-up turns, squidger contacts, and the difference between potted and free winks. Oh, wait, those are the international Tiddly Winks rules. Eh, same thing. Anyway, head over to MLG and check…

Tango wrote to point out this article at Figures.com which explains that Joyride’s Halo 1 & 2 license has expired, as was previously mentioned, and that Joyride knows of no current plans to renew it. Another point of interest in the article is the fact that three other companies are now producing Halo figures, but…

sodaGoD’s Jungle Trigonometry 4 was released today, and I must say… it’s some bizarre filmmaking. That’s not to say it’s bad – because it’s far, far, FAR from bad. It’s great, in fact. Just bizarre. Tiny Feet, for example… wow. Just… wow. The Frenchman… I loved it. Kraken… that rocked. In fact, the whole thing…

Wow. cctobias41886 stopped by our forum to let people know that 1) he has a collection of every single Halo and Halo 2 action figure ever made by Joyride… and 2) he’s selling it. If you’re interested, send him email (his email is in the forum post) before he posts it up on eBay. Wow.…

Jamie98s wrote up a bunch of tutorials full of info that can help budding machinimators make better vids. Go check ’em out at Kochinima.com!(Louis Wu 20:59:30 UTC)

Who’d have thought, 4 years ago, that Stuntmutt would ever hit 600? Check out today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 14:48:06 UTC)

PsH Bling sent along some pics of the Halo 3 poster he made from the artwork released last week – looks really good! (Large/Small | Poster with Owner) I’m thinking Bungie should be selling a copy of this…(Louis Wu 14:43:11 UTC)

The picture Luke McKay posted in his RvB journal yesterday is now up in his gallery here (no membership needed for viewing), along with a second new one (thanks, Big Goalie Dan). Looks like Luke’s seeing some sexual tension…(Louis Wu 03:08:34 UTC)

Sane Intolerant, who has gone mad, has also cranked out another comic on DeviantART for your edification. Check it out! And check out his previous one (that he sneakily snuck in earlier).(mnemesis 19:58:27 UTC)

Over at MLGPro.com, the front-page vid is a focus on Tom ‘TSquared’ Taylor – it’s not a typical MLG vid, there’s no gameplay with commentary, or the like… it’s an interview with TSquared discussing what got him into this in the first place, and where it’s bringing him. Interesting watch! Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 17:35:27 UTC)

Ure Paul let us know about the current ActionTrip comic – inspired by the Halo 3 mention in last week’s BWU. Heh.(Louis Wu 17:03:50 UTC)

Xerxdeej stopped by tonight to remind us of Tied the Leader Tuesdays. This week they’re featuring an interview with the folks over at the new(ish) podcast Loading Reality, an ode to tail-gunners and 22 Questions with Machinima creator Mike Rouse. Check it all out on the blog’s homepage.(KP 07:31:52 UTC)

3Suns writes to note a blog entry by AYBFonzi over at MLG, commenting on how his life has changed due to MLG and Halo. Fonzi seems genuinely grateful for his successes, and it shows in his writing. Nice, and congrats to Fonzi (and Allie)! :-)(mnemesis 05:20:44 UTC)

Sane Intolerant pointed out a DeviantART comic he’s made as a crossover between Halo and Phoenix Wright. OBJECTION! … Er, nm.(mnemesis 04:43:06 UTC)

Deekor posted to let folks know that the Halo Machinima Association is live and ready to start getting on with keeping “viewers entertained with awesome movies and a great community!” Check it out!(mnemesis 04:35:54 UTC)

ClearviewPro points out on the forum that SodaGod has released a trailer for Jungle Trigonometry 4. Gah! He asked if I was sure, and I thought I was sure, but then there was the twitching and stuff and now I’m not so sure that I’m sure…(mnemesis 04:27:24 UTC)

Big Goalie Dan noticed on our forum that Luke McKay has a new image of the MC and Cortana on his Red vs. Blue page. You’ll need to be signed in at RvB to see it. Nice!(mnemesis 04:20:55 UTC)

Mister Froggy writes to let us know that Halo, Articulated #15 is now available online. Here’s hoping Cortana has a bit more new dialogue than that.(mnemesis 04:17:30 UTC)

We previously mentioned the Hollywood Arts First Annual Dream Awards, where they’re honoring Tommy Tallarico (one of the guys behind the Video Games Live concerts) and, more topically, where they’re auctioning off some cool Halo-related stuff. Curtis Edmond sends word that the auctions are live now: the Signed Halo Swag Pack, the Tour of Bungie…
