  • Halo for the PSP

    Funkiness. Looks like someone’s trying to create a version of Halo that runs on the PSP. Should be fun to keep an eye on… thanks, Hexudus.

  • Lament for Pvt. Jenkins

    BootStrap Boon put together a vid called ‘Lament for Pvt. Jenkins’ recently, and the MPRRS said ‘yeah!’ It’s an alternate look at what might have happened to the poor dead Private from Halo, and aside from some odd aspect issues, and the occasional interlacing, it’s quite well done. He does a really nice job of…

  • Action Replay FAQ

    Spartan Jag wrote up a FAQ for Action Replay, the device that lets you trade saved games with other Halo players (well, lots of games, but this is a Halo site, right?). Check it out on our forum.

  • Managing XPectations.

    So, not too long ago, Bungie announced that Halo 2 would be coming out on Windows Vista – and a lot of people griped that they didn’t want to upgrade their operating system just to play Halo 2. Stuntmutt takes the ‘if you can’t beat ’em, laugh at ’em’ tack in today’s One One Se7en.

  • HCEC Season 3, Ep 1

    Season 3 of the Halo CE Chronicles kicked off yesterday, with ‘The Valley of the Forerunners, Part 1’ – swing by the HCEC website to grab your copy. This one picks up where season 2 left off, and is the first in 11 parts. Nice scenery, and a great kickoff into the new season’s plotline.…

  • Undefeated at Mario Tennis

    Player of the week this week, over at MLGPro.com, is Gandhi – a member of the number two team out of last weekend’s Nationals. Go check out what makes him tick. Thanks, 3Suns.

  • Why does the cake smell like baby oil?

    RedvsBlue Episode 74, ‘Right To Remain Silenced’, has been released for sponsors, a bit later than expected… but man, it was worth it. My favorite character is back… and as fun as ever. If you’re a sponsor, go grab it now. If you’re not… it should be out by Thursday or so. Thanks to spartaneric…

  • The sweet smell of green – er, white

    MLG has put up an article showing the winners from last weekend’s National Championships – lots o’ cash! Check it out. Thanks, 3Suns.

  • Drive-Thru

    Dang, meant to get to this yesterday, forgot. Omg A Fish submitted ‘Drive-Thru’, a Tenacious D skit set to Halo, to the MPRRS – and it would have passed, except for one reviewer (who didn’t even really seem to dislike it, but gave it a dismal score anyway). It’s a tiny film (just over 6…

  • Grunt and Glide

    Se7en One let us know about a small animation he created – a Grunt, and one of the Quadwings from Delta Halo. QuickTime format, 22 mb. Check it out!

  • Halo 2 tourney, online, in England

    Pro-G (a british gaming site) is hosting a Halo 2 Slayer tournament on Xbox Live on March 18-19; prizes consist of Xbox and Xbox360 titles. More info can be found on this page.

  • Marine Armor for Auction

    Ross Mills found a UNSC Marine armor set for sale on eBay(uk). It’s not completely finished – but a bunch of it is. (I’m wondering what happened to the model’s arm…) Four days left, nobody’s bid yet.

  • Halo used in a study on stupid people

    sonik son sent us a link that’s pretty darned tangential to Halo… but Halo IS involved, so here you go. Over at MarginalRevolution.com, there’s a blog entry about a study that compared higher prices with free shipping vs lower prices with expensive shipping to see which attracted buyers faster. (Turns out we’re stupid, and will…

  • H2O Federation Kicks Off

    Swing by the website of the Professional Gamers League of America to read about the new H2O Federation. Instead of a series of (relatively) unrelated tournaments, they’re setting up a league, similar to the NFL, where teams will compete all season long. It was only a matter of time…

  • Rating system online at halomovies.org

    Over at Halomovies.org, they’ve set up a rating system; all movies they host can be rated by viewers. If you’re interested in only viewing movies others thought were great… this is your chance! Check it out.

  • Halo Graffiti

    Silent_Pea found a pretty cool image of a spray-painted MC – take a look!

  • Eenk Eenk Eenk!

    Over at Bungie.net you’ll find a pretty cool story about a Cosplayer who won some awards with his Elite costume – along with cool pictures showing the costume itself, and how he pulled off the whole reverse-knee thing. Check it out! (I don’t even need to visit our forum to know that there’s a FIRST…

  • The Mombasa Massacre

    Jamie98s is turning out to be one of the top moviemakers in the Halo universe; I can’t remember a film he’s made that I didn’t like. His latest work, The Mombasa Massacre, blew through the MPRRS without a scratch. It’s a slightly different take on his last piece, Chaos on the Creek; this one also…

  • Shh… me hunting hewetics!

    Another large batch of Dialogue snippets from Hellhawk have been added to the Halo 2 Dialogue Databank; this time, it’s 155 snippets, all Grunts and Elites. Only Brutes are left – probably tomorrow!

  • Podtacular 51

    Foo Mo Jive lets us know that Podtacular 51 has been released – it’s Customs and Call-ins time again. Go listen!
