  • Dalteth’s Halo Miniatures

    There’ve been a number of people who’ve converted Warhammer 40k figures to Halo-themed ones; we’re hosting a website mirror for Frankie ‘Deadpool’ G., and both turel and JoeIce have posted cool images on our forum. Now there’s a new artist on the block – Dalteth sent us a bunch of images showing off the conversion…

  • Just PSP It.

    Mintz wrote to let us know that Halo: Portable has quite a bit of new content this week – PSP versions of a couple of recent popular videos, plus PSP-formatted versions of all of Bungie’s top stories this week. Swing by and check it out!

  • MPD – You CAN be cured.

    Wow. Mothergoat took some time out of his busy schedule to put together a Public Service Announcement yesterday; he looks carefully at MPD, a treatable disorder affecting a large percentage of the over-24 gamer population. I think even Green Day would approve. Swing by his forum post for download links (we’ve provided local mirrors, both…

  • Str8 Rippin vs T3D

    Over at Halo2Forum.com, you’ll find a large (156 mb, WMP9) vid showing a CTF match on Midship between Str8 Rippin and Team3D. Awesome gameplay, fascinating conversation. Go grab it!

  • Video-game Characters in the real world

    Burnie, from Red vs Blue, found a fun Fark photoshop contest – several of the entries (though none that are really doing well) are Halo-related. Check it out!

  • Municipality and Endurance, Released

    Wave of Lag has released a couple of new Urban Combat maps for Halo CE – along with tags for his version of the Kestrel (a vehicle shown as concept art on the Limited Edition DVD, but never released by Bungie in any form). Check this forum post for details and a Gearbox forum link.

  • In Europe, it’s called the Space Program.

    Very cool – a new Public Service Announcement has been posted over at Red vs Blue… “The Olympics Suck.” It’s pretty funny; I was just discussing why nobody watched the Olympics this year, over dinner… and now this! It’s got something for everybody – even Stephen Colbert. If you’re a sponsor, go grab a copy.…

  • Warthog Moon Patrol

    Bungie Weekly Update was posted (as usual, while I was out for dinner) – swing by and read about what they’re NOT doing, as well as a little about what is coming up. You can also read it in our Weekly Update Archive, if you like white better than blue. Was Frankie first? Do bears…

  • Joking Around

    Took a little longer to judge than we’d originally counted on (hey – almost three hundred entries had to be read through, groaned at, and ranked!), but the 7 on the 7th Joke Contest has finally been judged, and results have been posted. Congrats to the winners (you’ll be contacted soon for mailing info)! Thanks…

  • Trash Talk.

    Recently, Uwe Boll has spoken out about his opinion of the chances that the Halo movie will succeed. Stuntmutt tosses his two cents on that subject into the pot with today’s One One Se7en.

  • Closing out a powerful season

    More NYC Halo Nationals stuff – at MLGPro.com, there’s an overview of the Finals (thanks, 3Suns), and at Team3D.net, there’s Part 1 of a wrapup – an interview with Hotshy (thanks, F13ND). Go read!

  • Can’t all just get along?

    Captain Spark released another batch of dialogue snippets (and celebrated his 25th wedding anniversary, and is gearing up for his birthday – w00t!) – you can grab ’em from his website, or browse ’em in the Dialogue Databank. And there are more snippets coming from Hellhawk and Bloodpuppy, soon – I just haven’t gotten ’em…

  • Friday’s Fiction Update

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

  • Game with Fame: Hollyoaks

    The Game with Fame series continues, with the cast from Hollyoaks (a British soap) looking to take on some of their fans on March 4. We seem to have fallen off the notification list for these things – but you can read the press release elsewhere around the net (XGP Gaming has a copy, and…

  • Arrr!

    Remember that pirate comment Frankie made in last week’s Weekly Update, when referring to an upcoming Halo Humpday Challenge? Turns out it was because Bungie played against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. Frankie did a good job staying with the football theme all the way through the writeup. There’s a scary pic at the…

  • MLG NYC Pics

    Nice. MLGPro.com has put up a gallery of photos from last weekend’s National Championships; 434 pics of people playing Halo. Go look. Thanks, 3Suns.

  • Grunts and Jackals… oh, my.

    Rockslider continues the Frontline with Suzie series – today she’s interviewing some swampdwellers. Well… not really dwelling. More being lost, actually. Go read.

  • This Spartan Life – Episode 3 (Module 1)

    This Spartan LIfe has posted Episode 3, Module 1 – visit the site for download options. Damian has some… staff issues. Here’s hoping he works ’em out soon! The QuickTime is 16.6 mb, the WMP9 should be available soon. (There’s also an alternate version of the Solid Gold Elite Dancers module released a few weeks…

  • Play!

    Wow, bizarre. Remember Video Games Live? They’re claiming to be happening again (there are two dates on their Tour page)… but they’re no longer the only game in town. Play! bills itself as ‘A Video Game Symphony’, and features music from ‘a catalogue of blockbuster video game titles’… including Halo. They kick off in Chicago,…

  • Love Song

    More movies. Well, movie. This one ALMOST passed the MPRRS. (Missed by 0.4%.) It’s a music video from Belligerent, set to 311’s ‘Love Song’, and it’s pretty nicely done. Not too huge, and the suggestions made by the reviewers aren’t dealbreakers, in my opinion. Grab it in WMP9 format (28.3 mb) or QuickTime format (26.3…
