HaloPlanet mentioned the release of PodTacular Episode 49 back on Thursday – I kept forgetting to post it. (Been a rough few days here…) Speculation about Halo 3 is the big subject. Go listen!

Wow – swing by Halo2Forum and grab a copy of this Flag Tactics vid (58MB, WMP9 format) – some pretty amazing techniques. Most of ’em would be pretty hard to pull off in an actual game – but a few look pretty straightforward, and might just change the CTF games you play. (The Lockout flag…

Today’s Weekly Update is, unsurprisingly, mostly about the Halo 2 for Vista announcement yesterday. It’s worth a read, especially if you feel betrayed. There’s also some pretty droolworthy stuff about upcoming Halo novels , and a rather disturbing picture. And, of course, you can read it locally if you so choose. I haven’t been to…

There’s a Lost the Lead update – Pinkuh meets some weird people online! Awesome artwork. Check it out! (Pinkuh pointed it out on the forum.)

Captain Spark turned in another 19 dialogue snippets – you can snag them from his website, or peruse them in our Dialogue Databank. He’s baaaack…

You didn’t think Stuntmutt was gonna miss a chance to comment on yesterday’s Halo 2 PC news, did you? Go read One One Se7en.

You might remember LatinoReview.com – last November, they posted a review of the Halo script, which stirred up a little bit of controversy. Today, they posted a review of the Casino Royale script… and buried at the bottom is a small note of interest to Halo movie news watchers:Also we just got word that D.B.…

Okay, this is a little over the top, if you ask me. Josh Smith decided to write a blog post on the frequency of profanity during Halo 2 online play. Granted, it’s one person’s experience, and it’s gathered from a pretty small total sample (34 hours of gameplay – back in October, Frankie stated that…

Team3D, consistently one of the top pro Halo teams, is gearing up for MLG’s National Championships in New York at the end of this month, and Saiyan has taken a few minutes out to chat with F13ND about their hopes and expectations. Go read!

On the anniversary of their first episode, the Codex Series team has released information about The Heretic, a new series in production. Cause for excitement from folks who like good machinima! Thanks to many for noticing – but squattingb was first ( even beating Nerrolken’s own email by a couple of hours). Go read about…

Heh – Larry Peterson found this picture, and wondered… have the Forerunner been building in Mexico City?

Jillybean updated the Halo Story Page this morning – but the note got lost in the flurry of Vista-related mail. You should go read it, if you like having your brain wrapped around like pretzel dough.

Over at Bungie.net, Frankie’s posted a pretty large article about the whole Halo 2 on Vista thing; there’s an awful lot of “we’ll provide you with more details in the future”… but there’s also some decent info. Bungie’s not doing the conversion, but they’re helping. (It’s not being farmed out to a 3rd party developer,…

TastedBigworm found an odd little Halo comic at Lifemeter… that seems like bad sportsmanship. (But fun, probably.)

A little birdie pointed out a trailer over at apple.com for a movie coming out next month: Duck Season was made by Mexican director Fernando Eimbcke, and covers a day in the life of two fourteen-year-old boys. The Halo angle? Heh. Watch the trailer.

Devin Eastman has yet another piece of sheet music for you, courtesy of Rampancy.net – swing by and grab (remember, you must be logged in to see the download link) a copy of Peril for Piano. Awesome!

Frontline With Suzie is back! She’s found what might be the dumbest grunt in the Covenant… go read her interview. Thanks, rockslider.

A number of people pointed out that the WindowBlinds skin we mentioned last week is out now – along with a bunch of other stuff for your desktop. Swing by WinCustomize to download. Looks like The Vector Kid was first.

Wow. I’m not one for rumors, generally (have you noticed?), but when the BBC gets involved… Apparently, there was a link on the BBC front page that claimed that Halo 2 PC would debut on Windows Vista (the successor to XP). The article was pulled almost immediately – but Joystiq got a screenshot of the…

Whee. ClanFSR (no relation to the Futuristic Sex Robots, though they DO have a link to FSR’s video on their Vidz page – without attribution, though it’s a Mythica/HBO link) looks to be doing some pretty sleazy stuff. The Simpsons Montage, for example, has ClanFSR.com credits at the beginning and the end… but in actuality,…
