And the cardboard stuff continues! Hypersoldier has been putting together a cardboard suit – you can see a series of pics on this page. (They were originally posted on our forum, linked from a DeviantART gallery – but this one should be a little easier to navigate from piece to piece.)

Steve finished up his cardboard MA5B yesterday, and took a few final pictures – check out his forum post!

A few days ago, we mentioned a trailer for a new Halzred montage, called ‘Explictry’, being hosted by Halo2Forum. Halzred submitted this file to the MPRRS, as well, for feedback; he didn’t want hosting (H2F does a fine job of that), but since the MPRRS passed it (handily), we’re offering a QuickTime version for those…

Podtacular has released Episode 2 of PodTV – this one contains a legendary walkthrough of Cairo Station. Thanks to immortalthree for the heads-up (we sort of knew anyway – we’re providing the hosting for the downloadable file – but we love it when folks keep us up-to-date on what’s going on).

Also on B.net is a report of the Unofficial Music Competition recently conducted by Seventh Column Contests, a Seventh Column chapter. There is a summary of the winners and honorable mentions – but no downloadable files. (I’ve already sent email to the coordinators, offering hosting space for winning entries and honorable mentions, but I’d like…

B.net has a small note about Xbox Live Evolved, a new forum-based site that advertises that it’s there to help you get your clan online, and facilitate clan-based community interaction. Seems like a pretty big claim – check ’em out!

GotFrag has news about the Halo2 Open, an online tourney with a top prize of $5000. It kicks off on Thursday.

Broken Console has returned to their ongoing series, The Squadron – Episode 17, “I’m Not With Him”, is available for download from their website in WMP9 format (32.5 mb). The humans are once again outnumbered – but not outmatched. Go watch! (You can grab a QuickTime version – 26.9 mb – from us if you…

Sigafoos let us know that Episode 2 of WikiRiot, the podcast devoted to subjects surrounding HaloWiki.net, is now available – 13.6 mb, 34 minutes. Topics include this week’s updates, an upcoming clan tourney, and more. Go listen!

Mintz let us know that Halo: Portable’s been updated again; Stephen Loftus’ In Amber Clad article is there, as is a readable preview of the Halo Graphic Novel, the Halo 3 Behind The Scenes vid, and the Advanced Warfighter vid, all for your mobile viewer! Check ’em out.

Rockslider doesn’t quit – our forum contains a new post from him, detailing new changes to his Bad Cyborg site. Lots of tactics and tips… go read!

A couple of days ago, we mentioned some cardboard Halo guns made by a fan; we soon received another batch of pictures from a different fan, who’s been building his own cardboard weapons. Swing by this page to see the cardboard weapons of yayap_the_grunt.

Okay, so here’s the deal. A few days ago, a really cool movie was released by Bungie – ‘Halo 3: Behind The Scenes’. It came out in lots of flavors, lots of sizes… but the highest-resolution QuickTime, a gorgeous HD 720p version weighing in at 400 mb, had a problem; the last 20 seconds of…

Tonight’s Weekly Update focuses on the XBL playlists (there are still 20 million games of Halo 2 played each month – WOW!), plus info on what’s been going on in the office this week, and another great installment of the Waaahmbulance. Go read – at Bungie.net or in our Weekly Update Archive. Frankie, as usual…

Hmm… I usually stay away from the Story-related stuff until the Story Page crew picks it up… but this seemed pretty cool to me. Check out bikeman704’s speculations on the Ark in the Halo 3 trailer, and where else you might have seen one…

There’s a fantastic interview with Marty O’Donnell over at 1Up.com – Halo 3, Bungie, music, movies… and (maybe) what’s coming. Go watch! (Flash format, about 38 mb.) If you swing by GameVideos.com, you can actually grab larger versions, in WMP or QuickTime formats (MUCH larger), as well. Thanks, Mark McDonald and Eastbeast314.

I don’t want to make a habit of this… but sometimes, It’s nice to lend a hand to folks in need. AJay dropped us a note that a friend of his, Dupid, was headed to MLG Anaheim with an all-girl team, but her sponsor backed out at the last minute, and now she’s stuck with…

Today’s One One Se7en explains EXACTLY what was going on during that Halo 3 Trailer. It was so obvious… why couldn’t the rest of us see it?

Captain Spark submitted another couple of dozen dialogue snippets; these are not yet broken down with Marty’s new identifiers (that will start next week, apparently), but don’t let that stop you. You can grab them from his website, or browse them in our Dialogue Databank.

Chilton Webb made a really nice QuickTime VR (3D screenshot) out of c0ld vengance’s dying Jackal – you can find a link in his forum post.
