The Running Riot will have David Ellis, content producer at 343 Industries, live on its podcast show tonight at 9:30 EST. The lovely bsangel has some dirt on the man behind the 343 Sparkast if you need inspiration for questions. Here’s mine: Where’s my…

I love our community. Check out this contest from Myyke – he’s looking for cool screenshots of ODSTs (either in-game or manipulated, just like Bungie’s All-Stars rules). He’ll pick his favorite 7 entries, and award each one a valid serial number from a…

Couple of panos that do a nice job of characterizing Brutes… thanks, Hedge! (Louis Wu 14:31:10 UTC)

I meant to put this up Monday: Four members of The Yorker put together their list of the top 10 gaming Easter eggs. Our favorite food nipple Grunt from Halo: CE made the cut, along with an infamous glitch from Pokemon Red/Blue and Google Earth.(Hitmonc…

For the measly sum of $1,350, you can own the Mark V Spartan armor used in “Halo: Faith.” And there’s free shipping! (Hitmonchan107 04:49:13 UTC)

Thanks to all of your hard work, GrifballHub’s missing bombs have been recovered. For their dedication and perseverance, six soldiers have been given Grifball armor and accessories (presumably of the avatar variety). Congrats to the winners! I might ta…

In Episode 20, Anoj put together the top 10 greatest moments from September until now. No. 2 on the list is still one of my favorite Reach clips yet. Just a reminder: Anoj is accepting submissions for the next three episodes, “Unusual Kills (Episode 2…

Pretty fun visualization of The Meta, from Luke McKay today! (I’m not sure those rings would feel really great under a helmet, though…)(Louis Wu 20:18:23 UTC)

Carver noticed that io9’s got a piece on their choices for the 10 Greatest Handguns in All of Science Fiction and Fantasy. I’m sort of surprised by the Halo product that made it in… but I can’t say it doesn’t fit.(Louis Wu 18:55:03 UTC)

Forge Spotlight Episode 5 is highlighted on Bungie.net’s Comm Chatter today – 4 cool community-created maps you might want to play with your buds. In a similar vein, you can also watch Greenskull’s Forgefest 3 – fewer maps, but longer tests (with more…

Now this is how you start an a cappella concert! The Vanderbilt Melodores began its spring concert with the classic Halo theme song (complete with chanting, drums and guitar riffs!) before transitioning into “Animal” by Neon Trees. Truly amazing.(Hitmo…

Six months ago, we mentioned a one-of-a-kind custom Halo shirt on Etsy. There’s a new one (I think from a different seller, though I can’t be sure, the old entry is no longer valid) up now – if you’re looking for a totally unique women’s Halo shirt, c…

SonGoharotto posted another chapter of his ‘Halo [R]Evolved’ script rewrite – and in fact posted a full revision just 5 hours later, based on initial feedback on the forum. Go check out how Flawless Cowboy might look, if later canon material were fold…

He might be a few months early, but BLADEGLITCHERS has posted his decennial Halo celebration video. Honestly, it’s nothing more than the commercials and main videos for the games, but sometimes the simplest way is the most effective. Give it a click an…

Would you like a reason to play through Halo 2 again? CIA391 on the Waypoint forums has you covered with Halothon, an Oprah’s Book Club of sorts for the Halo series. The community switched to Halo 2 on Thursday, but discussions opened up yesterday. CIA…

Inspired by imsuck’s HMV Hell series, DudeAndBros designed a music video clip show of its own. The Pink Panther bits were top notch. Go watch!(Hitmonchan107 09:02:26 UTC)
