Fifteen new pieces in the Fan Fiction section this week – go read!

DOMINATOR is offering $50 for the best HaloCE map submitted to him by mid-June – go read this forum post for more details. Careful, though – he’s reserved the right to give himself the prize…

Bluestrike2 points out that MLG PwnCast Episode 9 has been posted – they’ve gotten some help from the crew of MLGStats.com. Go listen!

This one’s sort of strange – the Ogres, Walshy, and Saiyan – Team3D to most of the Halo-playing world – have left Team3D and will be playing under the name ‘Final Boss’ for the rest of the 2006 season. Apparently, it’s a better sponsorship deal. (Not surprising, with all the money flying around right now…

If you liked Mutha G’s Lookie vid a few days ago, you can now grab the MP3 version (and lyrics!) in this forum post. Word, yo. (Don’t forget to vote for his rock station commercial – details are in that forum post.)

Kuniklo pointed out that Bungie is hiring again; they’re looking for a new Lead Web Development Engineer. Dream job for webheads who are also Bungie fans? Sure! Go check it out! (To be fair, Cybrfrk pointed this out to me a week ago, but I wasn’t sure it was a new listing…)

Looks like a nice Halo 2 tourney is shaping up in Clovis, CA in early May – check this page at GotFrag for details. FFA on Friday, 4v4 on Saturday…

Stuntmutt recently hung out with some clanmates (in a bar, where else?), and they discovered why there are only three strips a week. Check out today’s One One Se7en to see for yourself. (We’d like to apologize for the accidental posting of Friday’s strip, for a short time; I blame me. Well, actually, I blame…

Ron Dagan pointed out a Halo-based horror short story on his myspace account – take a look.

Zukan created a trailer for Vendetta, a trilogy he’s planning to make in the next few months; it’s garnered a TON of decent press to date, both from the general public, and from the MPRRS reviewers. It’s really, really well done – I’m looking forward with great anticipation to the final product. Grab a copy…

Coolness. GameJunkieJim put together a Bungie Crossword Puzzle – go test yourself. Thanks, Masta Chef.

Dennis Powers writes to point out that Part 8 of the Valley of the Forerunners is now available for download on the Halo CE Chronicles website. 8:17 long, available in WMP9, QuickTime, and streaming Flash, this part shows Harrington and the Marines a little more about what they’re up against. If you’ve wondered why some…

Spartan Jag noticed a bunch of new content at the Halouvre – there’s stuff from Major.Dump and stuff from a new artist, Hikaru. Take a look!

Another imSuck movie made it through the MPRRS yesterday – this one is called ’10 ways to tell if you’re a noob’, and it combines (as usual) great editing with entertaining commentary on various noobish activities. Grab a copy in either WMP9 format (45.9 mb) or QuickTime format (47.5 mb).

Holy Pro Gaming, Batman! I should check my mail before I post news. There was an email from 3Suns with a TON more MLG links; we’ve got press releases about new sponsorship deals (specifically Boost Mobile and Scion Auto), and we’ve got a new Player of the Week article (this one focuses on Mack). Go…

Apologies for the news blackout; connection from this hotel is MUCH more difficult than I’d expected. Let’s start with some MLG news – Pieter Kok pointed out that MLG is about to launch a television show; you can find links to more info on MLG’s site. Pretty cool stuff!

Stuntmutt shows that he’s happy to hit religion as hard as he hits the English language in today’s One One Se7en – being posted a few hours earlier than usual because it’s not clear how much online time I’ll be getting before Monday night.

Just a quick note – the submission deadline for the 7 on the 7th contest has come and gone; it’s all over but the judging. We received more than 250 submissions for this contest – there are a LOT of you who want a shot at a free signed soundtrack! What’s probably going to happen…

Mothergoat released a followup to the MPD vid that hit the Halo scene a month and a half ago. Vanilla Ice got NUTHIN’ on this white boy. You gotta watch this, even if you hate rap. Cause it’s hilarious. Just over 50 mb, in WMP9 format (see Mutha G’s forum post for a download link)…

Stephen Loftus has released a couple of new images of his ‘In Amber Clad’ scratchbuilt model – we’ve added them (and his descriptive text) to his progress page here at HBO. Check it out – fiber-optic lighting looks pretty slick!
