Yeah, so remember when we mentioned that Bungie cares? Check their front page right now – they’re selling wristbands to raise money for Japanese tsunami victims. All of the proceeds from their sale, plus all of the profits from the whole Bungie Store u…

We heard from Joshua Stark, the manager of Frags Out Of Love – this group is currently running a Halo marathon for charity. They started this morning, 8 am MST, with Halo – and they’re going to continue through Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST, and Reach. They’re…

More awesome panos from BlueNinja – go see.(Louis Wu 21:04:07 UTC)

It’s cold and rainy outside, so ElzarTheBam continues to trawl the internet, scooping up tasty Halo morsels for your dinner plate. EvilAvatar has 5 Defiant codes – post in this thread on their forum, and Friday they’ll pick 5 winners at random.(Louis …

Frankie noticed that Toys R Us has a bit of a typo going on the page selling a pair of adorable Halo Minimates… but MAN I’d buy a Mister Chief if someone made one. In fact, I’d buy a dozen. Update: That Grim… always makin’ me look bad! (I’d feel le…

In news not noticed by ElzarTheBam, Frankie found something over at the Toys R Us website that made me inappropriately excited. An ad for a Mister Chief MiniMates figure. Unfortunately, it was just a typo, but a cool little addition to any Halo collec…

Those of us who’ve followed Bungie for a while know that they care a lot about people outside their studio – looks like the world’s gonna know that, too. NowGamer noticed that Bungie has filed a new trademark registration – ‘Bungie Foundation’, with th…

Heh – nice. McFarlane will be releasing a 10th Anniversary Master Chief this fall – and it looks like the in-game (blocky) model. Pretty cool! Thanks, ElzarTheBam (who found it at Kotaku).(Louis Wu 16:08:28 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue let us know about the newest Reclaimer… definitely getting philosophical.(Louis Wu 14:02:53 UTC)

XerxdeeJ stopped by to announce that Tied the Leader has awoken from its CoD-induced slumber (okay, I don’t know WHAT they were playing recently, but it warn’t Halo) – they have words of praise for Certain Affinity, and words of warning for players fa…

Back in January, we mentioned a mobile app called Reach Service Record, that at the time was available for iPhones. It was made available for Android soon after, but with a limited featureset, compared to the iOS version. It’s just gotten a big update…

Over at NeoGAF, Tashi0106 pointed out some walkthroughs of the two player-created maps that will be included in the 2011 MLG Pro Circuit. Interesting watch! (Louis Wu 14:01:25 UTC)
