Sigafoos writes to tell us about The Riot 27 – they discuss Halo Everywhere, the Halo 3 beta, some clan stuff, and more. And there’s a ‘Sigafoos Everywhere’ contest, which is just like Halo Everywhere except there aren’t any prizes and you have to use Sigafoos instead of Halo stuff. (I dunno, that sounds like…

XBWFeenix stopped by with word of a video interview he conducted with SketchFactor and Frankie at X06 this year (he couldn’t make it public until the issue of Xbox World that it was filmed for was actually on the shelves) – the link is in his forum post. Not a LOT of new info, but…

Bryn Casey let us know about another huge batch of new artwork – and man, I’m LOVING it. You can find it all on his gallery page here (scroll down to the bottom of the Paint Shop Pro section – but for folks who want things handed to them, there are 7 new images: Spartan…

New art from Luke McKay – a re-imagined Brute. I wouldn’t mess with it, unless I had that gun…(Louis Wu 01:03:35 UTC)

Z, from Halo3Forums, wrote to point out TalenT’s montage, edited by Halzred. Heavy on the effects. Will almost certainly place in the top 10 in the upcoming montage contest there. 151 mb in WMP9 format. Grab a copy.(Louis Wu 00:59:06 UTC)

Carbon’s coach, xXx, has been interviewed over at MLGPro.com – go see why he made such a difference for them. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 00:55:01 UTC)

Okay, first off – we’ve got a new movie for you. It’s from Jamie98s, and it’s called Space Dementia, and it’s really quite good. Jack Walters thinks he’s ready for active duty again – but all may not be as it seems. Great effects, astoundingly high compression (so that a 15 minute 640×480 movie weighs…

Over at the Red vs Blue website, OboeCrazy posted a new vid (you won’t be able to read that without an RvB account) – It’s a realization of the Barenaked Ladies song ‘Bank Job’, in the Halo engine. She took a great song, and made it live – it’s a beautiful job. I have one…

Jonathan Rivas noticed another batch of new stuff at the Bungie Store – you can grab an H3 Laser Etched Microfiber Fleece Jacket for $50, and a ‘No Scope to the Dome’ long-sleeved T for $18. The Halo Graphic Novel and the Art of Halo books are both back in stock. What are you waiting…

KillerN was removed from the top-tier team XiT WoundZ right after their loss in Las Vegas last month – over at Amped, you can read an interview with him, getting his side of the story.(Louis Wu 16:44:09 UTC)

This came in yesterday, but I forgot to post it. Over at the website for the Fox affiliate in Houston, there’s an article about a doctor who’s used input from gamers to design a better sort of radiation treatment system for cancer patients – in his words, they’ve gone from “a shot gun, where we…

The Weekly Update went up at Bungie a couple of hours ago. In it you’ll find taunting comments about Halo 3 online (Bungie/MS only for now), info about the commercial coming Monday, tidbits about what’s happening in the studio right now, and apologies for the loss of Team SWAT. Read it at Bungie.net – or…

You might think, from the title of today’s One One Se7en, that it pokes fun at Nintendo’s newest console. You’d be vastly overestimating Stuntmutt’s maturity level, though…(Louis Wu 16:26:31 UTC)

14 new pieces for you this week in the Fan Fiction section – check ’em out!(Louis Wu 16:11:10 UTC)

You can find an interview with Karma over at MLGPro.com – go read about the guy who walked away from the Las Vegas championship with almost $40,000 in his pocket (not bad for a weekend’s work!). Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 15:36:17 UTC)

LordGideon and friends have kicked off a new site, called ‘Halo Everywhere’. The premise is simple: insert Halo content into everything you see. It’s a contest – you’ve got 30 days to come up with cool pics, and there are some nice prizes at the end (details forthcoming) – so swing by the site, check…

Boxer noticed a new Halo 3 backpack (along with some previously-discovered items) at the Bungie Store – nice grey look!(Louis Wu 14:03:26 UTC)

Earlier this evening, while some of us were out gallivanting around irresponsibly, KP was keeping down the number of international heart attacks, by clarifying a point about the upcoming Halo 3 beta that was incorrectly stated in today’s MS Press Release – this beta will be open to people all around the world, not just…

We’re still waiting for confirmation from Bungie on some of the more controversial pieces of this… but a Microsoft press release sent out this morning suggests that the Halo 3 beta next spring will be limited to North America, and that it will NOT be all-inclusive.Beginning Monday, Dec. 4, by visiting http://www.halo3.com, gamers in North…
