There’s a note on our forum about a tournament in Rahway, NJ coming up on June 10 – details (including directions, prizes, and the like) can be found in the post. It’s a Rumble Pit FFA with plenty of goodies to go around – check it out!

Stuntmutt put together a special Sunday strip to celebrate a fun piece of news – check the One One Se7en page.

There are 8 billion other tidbits in our inboxes (and more on the forum)… but it’s Mother’s Day here in the US, and it’s time to spend some serious quality time with two important mothers in my life – the mother of my children, and the mother of ME – so Halo news is gonna…

Laird noticed a new card for the Halo Graphic Novel at a local comic shop… according to the shop owner, interest is huge. I’m intrigued by the 99 cent preview comic, due out in a couple of weeks – I hadn’t heard about that!

Interesting… Red Leader decided he could hear definite similarities between Siege of Madrigal (a song Marty composed for Myth, and then included in Halo as an easter egg) and Unforgotten (a track on the new Halo 2 Soundtrack Volume 2). He overlaid them, roughly, tweaking the tempo a bit on Siege… but I definitely hear…

Weekly Fanfic update is a couple of days later than usual, due to E3 and some really unpleasant experiences on airplanes – but it’s up now. 23 new pieces. Go read. (To the two idiots (you know who you are) who wrote to bitch that it wasn’t posted before now – keep a sharp eye…

Home. Exhausted. Crashing. Before I go, though: if you go back and grab the Halo 3 Press Kit from Xbox.com, you’ll find that it’s grown in size from 70 mb to just over 100 – the added space is filled with Master Chief cutouts (the MC with no background image), Halo 3 and Bungie logos,…

We picked the winners of the second T-Shirt Raffle tonight at DeanFest 2006; I won’t be able to do anything useful (like send the winners email about their winnings) until late tomorrow or Sunday – at the moment, I’m sitting at LAX, waiting out an incredibly stupid mistake that resulted in my missing my flight…

We’re taking a break from DeanFest 2006 to post a pretty cool news tidbit… our very own KP, master of the HBO Forum Banhammer as Badmin and occasional front-page newshound, has found himself a new job. We were fortunate enough to snag a photo of his new workplace (72K) – and if you want more…

One quick last post, before heading off to DeanFest 2006 – the Weekly Update is posted over at Bungie.net, and it’s a doozy. It might just contain the most real information about a Bungie product, ever. Amazing collection of solid answers. Go read. (And then stop harping on the silly stuff in our forum, and…

vivien molia pointed out a new Press Start to Play with a Halo theme – take a look!

Stuntmutt explains why the daily dose of corn might be a little understated in today’s One One Se7en.

There’s a story on Macon.com (a Georgia newspaper site) about a couple of local kids gearing up for MLG Dallas. Nice general interest piece.

Rich Wickham, Microsoft’s director of Games for Windows Business, talked to Gamespot about gaming on Windows Vista – there was a little bit of discussion about Halo 2. At this point, it’s undetermined whether Halo 2 players on Xbox 360s will be able to play against Halo 2 players on Windows Vista – the number…

The Curmudgeon Gamer has good things to say about the Halo 3 trailer – even though he doesn’t like Halo. Thanks, 3Suns.

Frankie is currently taking questions about the Halo 3 trailer over at Bungie.net; some of these will be answered in tonight’s Weekly Update. Swing by and toss your musings into the mix! Thanks, darthbob.

Most of us seem to have missed a short little interview that Major Nelson conducted with Marty O’Donnell outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater on Tuesday; Marty discussed the musical choices they made, and why the trailer felt as it did. An interesting little piece – and visual evidence that the shirt that Kotaku mentioned a couple…

Over at Rampancy.net, Narcogen has lost no time organizing the Halo 3 content out at this point; you’ll find a new Halo 3 Movies page, containing local mirrors of the announcement trailer, a Halo 3 Articles page, containing local mirrors for Bungie’s Halo 3 comments, and a Halo 3 Image Gallery, which contains both official…

A few quick news posts before I sign off (what the HECK am I doing up less than three hours before I need to leave for the airport?)… PEZ has put together a small script that works in Firefox (with the help of Greasemonkey, a Firefox extension) that fixes the bug that keeps most people…

Today’s USA Today (May 10) has a 2-page spread on the Halo Graphic Novel; some of the text (but none of the pictures) can be found online on the USA Today website. Anyone who wanted to scan this… we’d be happy to host. 🙂
