Dennis Powers writes to say that the Halo CE Chronicles WILL have a Season 3… but it won’t be episodes, per se. It will be a single, 80+ minute long feature, broken into chunks for more reasonable downloading. You can view the trailer online at the HCEC website. Check it out!

SNOWBLIND1717 submitted a music video called ‘So Cold’ (set to the song of the same name by Breaking Benjamin) to the MPRRS yesterday; it passed handily. Imagine… a music video with a message! This one’s nicely filmed, nicely edited – grab a copy. WMP9 version is 33.1 mb, QuickTime version is 32.7 mb. (QT version…

A couple of weeks back, blackouTT made some noise with Legendary, the first episode in a machinima series he’s working on. Episode 2 was submitted to the MPRRS this afternoon – and it passed with flying colors in three hours. Wow! As usual, great camera angles. The story is fleshing out. This one’s big -…

Wellsley created a pretty amazing-looking stained-glass Elite for an art contest… he’s a little late, but he certainly deserves some recognition. Check it out!

Broken Console has made The Squadron Episode 16 (‘Frenchy’) available to the public; go grab a copy in WMP9 format from their downloads page, or the QuickTime from our server. Lots of preparation… lots of setbacks. Sometimes I weep for humans.

Bunch of news came in late yesterday – let’s get it posted, so I can go to bed. First up – ShocKWav3 is the Player of the Week over at MLGPro.com; go read what makes this guy tick!

Bah. I hate it when I forget things. A few days ago, Halo2Forum.com released a trailer for an upcoming montage vid from Titan VIII, Verse, and MADDOG – it was called the Triple Threat, and folks were pretty excited about it. Swing by to grab a copy in WMP9 format. They also submitted this file…

The Daily Nebraskan has a profile of Rachel Delovechio, known in Halo 2 circles at PMS Rambo – go read about this girl gamer!

Periodically, Bentllama spams our forum with random comments about his favorite breakfast food. If he weren’t a Cananimator, we’d probably just ban the guy… but as it is, he tends to draw the forum locals into silliness (as he did last week). Today’s One One Se7en gives you Stuntmutt’s take on the situation.

Funkmon found some fun Halo-related stuff at WinCustomize.com – there’s a pretty cool-looking clock and an in-progress Windowblinds skin (not downloadable yet). Check ’em out!

LunarShadow has updated the H2O Stats Reader to version 1.5 – big changes are in the searching and sorting areas. Check out his forum post for more details!

B.J. let us know about Blue and Blond, a webcomic that features Halo today (a departure from the norm, if I’m reading the blog entry right). The permalink doesn’t work yet – but I’m guessing that once the next comic is posted, this one will be able to be found here.

Back on solid ground, 3Suns pointed out another pair of articles at MLGPro.com. The first is a general-gaming article, not really specifically Halo – but it was written by Overswarm, the author of our Not So Common Sense Strategy Guide, and marks a new era for him – congrats! The second article discusses the second…

Okay, I’m thinking of changing the website name:What do you think? A couple of days ago, Kotaku posted this note, suggesting that Gamestop stores around the US got an email stating firmly that Halo 3 would not be out in 2006. (A million of you sent this in, linked from many sites – I was…

Juxtapose wrote a piece comparing Halo 2, Doom 3, and Half-Life 2, as each appeared on the Xbox. If you’re looking for a pro-and-con article, here it is!

Interesting. weephun noticed a bunch of new job listings on the Bungie Jobs page this morning… they’re all for PC programmers. Why would Bungie want to hire a bunch of PC programmers…? (weephun hazards a guess.)

Deimos noticed a couple of new items at the Bungie store (more recent than the stuff SketchFactor posted about last week). There’s a fleece beanie, and a pretty cool-looking Tuxedo shirt – go spend more money!

We got word of a couple of tournaments around the US coming up… there’s a Halo 1 tourney in Tuscaloosa, AL on March 25 (thanks, Mintz), and a 2v2 Halo 2 slayer tourney in the Philly area this Sunday (February 5), with more details available at the CyberZone Gaming website (thanks, JamesKrut). Get your game…

Podtacular Episode 46 and Episode 47 have been posted – 46 has tips for Ivory Tower, and 47 is the final show with Spelcheck. Go listen! (Thanks, Henry Brown.)

Berzerker dude submitted a trailer for his upcoming Project 117 series to the MPRRS – it passed. They’re hosting the download themselves (their choice) – but because it passed the MPRRS, we’re offering a QuickTime version for those who have trouble with WMP9. Grab the WMP9 from them (9.7 mb) or the QuickTime from us…
