The HBO Helljumpers have left the HBO fold… and become the PMS Helljumpers. We wish them well. Thanks to MereCatfish for the heads-up.

It’s everywhere these days. The folks at DS-Play got word back from Bungie that they (Bungie) would be showing a new version, playable on the DS, at E3 this year. Swing by and read the email, check out the pics.

The Squadron, Episode 17 has been released – 6 minutes long, 2.8 mb. You can grab it in WMP9 format from their site, or in QuickTime from us.

Stuntmutt’s finally gone and done it; he’s compiled the first 200 strips into an actual book, tossed in some exclusive content – and is selling the finished product. Looks fantastic! For a huge dose of corn all in one convenient place, stop by his blog for ordering instructions.

NeuroKoNeza stopped by our forum to point out that No Remorse, a very cool-looking HaloCE map (we mentioned it here, and more screens showed up on our forum a few days ago), is now finished and ready for download. There’s a screenshot in the new forum post (more in the one from last week), and…

We got a press release from Jagex, the Runescape guys. There’s a new MMO in town, folks! Check it out; not coming anytime soon, but geez… I’m drooling.

Team3D is getting back into shape after taking some time off – F13ND interviewed Hotshy about what’s coming up for them. Discussion of the MLG2006 season, and more. Go read!

Mintz sent us a link to an article on Halo: Portable that shows how a team of hackers got Halo running on a PSP. Check it out!

Devastator (who we’ve mentioned in the past) went to the I-Con Sci-Fi convention in New York last weekend – and won first prize for his MC costume. Check out the pics!

Two new movies of note over at Halo2Forum.com. The first is a dual montage from Wedow and Vinny Jones; it’s pretty cool, because Wedow did a fantastic job of color-coding the clips to let you know who was playing. (Watch it – it’ll make more sense once you do.) This one’s 128 mb, in WMP9…

Pak noticed a Halo 3 mention in yesterday’s Press Start to Play. Don’t tell Shishka.

The Bungie Weekly Update is up – and though the date on the top of this page reads April 1, this update was posted on March 31 at Bungie.net – which means you should be pretty safe from April Fools-type jokes. Frankie debunks a rumor, sort of debunks a second one, tosses fans a REALLY…

In honor of the 458th One One Se7en, Stuntmutt takes another look at Nicole… though not the look he’d like to take.

Well, after deleting the first 6 instances of The Meep’s first chapter (why do people have to go all postal on the submit button?), the solid blocks of unformatted text, and the speculation that belongs on the Story page or our forum, we’re left with 9 Fan Fiction entries this week. Go read.

Over at Subnova, Funkmon found an article with some stats about Xbox Live – and while it focuses mostly on how the 360 is more tightly integrated with XBL than the original box was, it contains a Halo stat that’s pretty amazing: one third of all hours logged on Xbox Live since the service went…

Gah. When sites as big as IGN post rumors about Halo 3 release dates, our mailboxes fill up with speculation. According to them, Halo 3 will be released in March 2007, with more info coming at E3. This might be true, it might be garbage… we can’t say. Bungie is still keeping mum about whether…

Kooberz has been building a model of Zanzibar out of Legos for quite some time – but he’s run out of money. He sent along a bunch of pics of the project as it stands… pretty cool stuff! Take a look.

Heh – the Rooster Teeth crew will be doing a film and Q&A session at the upcoming San Francisco Film Festival, in April and May. The title of the film? ‘Cock Byte: Masters of Machinima’ – you should definitely get tickets if you’re in the area. (They go on sale to the general public next…

Halo’s always been at the top of the XBL game list – but multiplayer isn’t all you can do with your 360. Stuntmutt looks at what happens when good stuff comes out that isn’t really for Live in today’s One One Se7en.

Justin Laufer pointed out an academic conference on video games coming up next weekend at the University of Florida in Gainesville – he’s giving a talk entitled ‘New Cyborg Philosophy: Techno-Religious Hybridization in Marathon and Halo’. Feel the Bungie Love!
