Hawty McBloggy found a video called ‘The Sound of Halo 3’, which attempts to create music from the battle sounds of Halo 3. It has mixed success.(Louis Wu 10:21:11 UTC)

Bryan Ojeda recorded a tribute piano piece in honor of Bungie Day. (Louis Wu 10:20:53 UTC)

mrsmiley let us know that Episode 5 of Pyrosmile’s Master Chief Theater 3000 (the continuation of Pyroman’s MST3K parody) is now on YouTube. This one shows off the end of Floodgate.(Louis Wu 10:20:24 UTC)

Omega spent some time in Pan-Cam mode, measuring stuff. Interesting results! (Looks like Bungie did a little fudging…(Louis Wu 10:18:39 UTC)

2phast let us know that Larry the Marine has changed to a Friday release schedule – and that Episode 28 is now up. I think there are certain weapons Larry should never be allowed to get his hands on.(Louis Wu 10:18:09 UTC)

Back in April, AfRo SaUcE recorded a funny clip showing the Arbiter betraying him on Floodgate. He’s back, showing off a new attempt. Arby didn’t succeed this time… but it was close!(Louis Wu 10:17:45 UTC)

Yesterday was Friday, which means that Hawty McBloggy posted a new round of Friday Caption Fun. There are great submissions for last week’s pic (along with some gratuitous pain for me) – and a new image which should generate more than a few drunk jokes. Go add your own! (Louis Wu 10:17:10 UTC)

Probably the biggest news making the rounds yesterday was a rumor – it started over at Sarcastic Gamer on Thursday (with a quick followup a little later) – they claim that an anonymous source asserts that Halo 4 is in full development by Bungie. The followup claims that this project will be announced at E3.…

Something that’s been needed for a LONG time on Bungie.net has been a summary of the details of the playlists – what games/maps are in which lists, and how often, that sort of thing. Thursday night, Shishka (with some help) finally put this up – go visit to read about the lists! A comment thread…

Hellhawk followed up his ‘Chief vs Scarab’ with a ‘Chief vs Grunt’ vid – also cute! (Louis Wu 09:45:44 UTC)

Rampancy.net posted an arrangement of Leonidas for jazz band, created by cheeze. Cool!(Louis Wu 09:45:17 UTC)

Here’s hoping everyone’s 4th of July was memorable! I had a lot of Halo stuff facing me when I returned… let’s see if I can get through a little of it before my day REALLY starts. First up – Watkins Glen International raceway held a special event on Thursday – they teamed IndyCar Series drivers…

We’d like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July! If you’re outside of the US, we apologize for the lack of news today – feel free to blow something up in response. (That’s certainly going to be happening INSIDE the US…) Might I suggest some Halo 3 Campaign? We’re just…

Bungie has posted “a quick look” at Cold Storage – the new Vidoc is six minutes long, ranges from 65 mb to 360 mb, depending on download flavor (or can be streamed in the Bungie Media Player), and shows off the hawtness that is the soon-to-be-free Chill Out remake. The Bungie devs involved in the…

Heh – cool. Bungie has issued a bizarre challenge – spot an unidentified employee as he (I’m pretty sure it’s a ‘he’) travels across the western US, wearing one of two specific shirts, introduce yourself while holding a copy of Halo 3, and you’ll get Recon. There are some restrictions – read the post for…

Whoa. Remember yesterday, when we mentioned that an exploit for Halo PC Dedicated Server had been identified, and worked around by a fan, and how that was good because the game is no longer supported? Well, Bungie’s Roger Wolfson, who was the head Bungie guy for Halo PC back when it WAS supported, released a…

Today’s edition of Another Halo Comic Strip had BETTER be just a figment of ZZoMBiE13’s twisted mind… or I’m gonna have to hunt him down and kill him. Slowly.(Louis Wu 18:44:09 UTC)

Z let us know about Snap Tactics’ first Halo montage over at Halo3Forum – the guy has great situational awareness. Nice video quality, too! Just under 5 minutes long, 133 mb. Go watch!(Louis Wu 17:48:07 UTC)

A full day and a half ahead of schedule, the July 4th edition of the Bungie Weekly Update is online – and trust me, you want to read it. It starts off with some warnings for folks abusing the Halo 3 File Share feature, and reminds us that the deadline for the 7 billion by…

Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked Episode 34 is up – it’s a tribute to George Carlin. (Louis Wu 17:01:28 UTC)
