spartansniper619 stopped in with word of a new short film – it’s called ‘Poursuit’, and though spartansniper619 is French, the movie deals in the language of lead, which is universal. (There are no spoken lines.) Go watch White Guy take on Grey Guys! N…

Whoa – scoop from Podtacular! Looks like the next Halo title will actually be developed for the original Xbox! For all those clamoring for that older experience… this one’s for you! (Louis Wu 21:28:34 UTC)

Kal, from GrifballHub, sent word that the Hub is moving in a new direction – in his own words:Instead of focusing on the brutal sport where people are bludgeoned to death by giant hammers, we’re now all about the world’s cutest animal: The red panda!Ch…

SEspider noticed that an episode of American Dad contains some Halo inspiration – fun! (Rockslider has helped out a bit with links, and timestamps to the relevant portions, so if you’re in a hurry, read his post before you watch.) (Louis Wu 18:34:31 UTC)

Over at The Halo Forum, Kiko Mia has posted Tank – it’s a 10-minute montage using Halo 2 footage from a variety of players, all collected in Halo 2 Vista. Oh, the memories… thanks, RVideo. (Louis Wu 18:32:07 UTC)

Hey, let’s do a little catch-up. It’s been a busy week (and yes, it really did just start). A few days ago, Gagnon 30 wrote an article looking at the “Halo Community” (it’s in quotes because in this context it’s pretty hard to define), and what they wa…

Rockslider has been playing around some more with that detached dropship turret – he’s getting pretty good with it! There are two new movies – one showing how to set up the detachment, the other looking at the technique from a variety of angles. Go wat…

The latest Fails of the Weak has a fantastic line from Jack – made my day. You can watch these on AchievementHunter.com or YouTube, and you can thank Nikko B201, as usual, for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 21:40:09 UTC)

FyreWulff pointed out that Activision is pulling all of Guitar Hero 3’s DLC off of Xbox LIVE at the end of this month – so if you want to download the Mjolnir Mix for that game, now’s the time to do it. It’ll be gone after Monday! (Louis Wu 21:35:38 UTC)

Catching up on some older stuff we let slip through the cracks – huge thanks to Revenant1988 and Snipe 316 for the B.org March Madness tournament, which was a lot of fun to play in. You can see the final results in this post – and you can watch the Fin…

Last weeks Bombcast had a segment on community and developer interaction and our little site and awesome community got a mention (starts at 27:05). What I want to know is who came up with a fictional explanation as to why Master Chief couldn’t original…
