In late March, an unofficial probe into some comments made by Pallor became what is now known as ‘The Megg Hunt’ – a community feeding frenzy that eventually involved hundreds (thousands?) of Halo fans, an attempt to discover an easter egg placed in Halo specifically for Meg by her boyfriend, a designer on the Halo…

Hart points out a quiz he’s created at Quizilla; What Weapon Are You? Take the test, and find out!

And again… there’s ANOTHER of the Dogtags sets up for sale on eBay; this one currently sits at just under $15 (much better than the $71 the last one closed at), auction closes in 2 days, but the seller has no history at all. Caveat emptor… and thanks to The_Unseen for the heads-up.

Wow. Halo: The Flood has shown up on Publisher’s Weekly’s Mass Market Bestseller’s List (number 11)! Wow. More details over at Bungie Sightings. Thanks to poenadare for the heads-up.

The last time the Movies database here at HBO was updated was mid-March – about 5 weeks ago. As of today, the 22 movies released since then have been added to the database. Total number of movies is up to 231; it’s getting to be an unweildy list. Time to rethink the organization, maybe…

We forgot to get back to this last week… but the Halo Dog Tags we mentioned on eBay a while back sold a week ago for $71. Ouch!

At least two big websites have picked up the info available in the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, and have made some of it available in text form. Eurogamer fairly credits OXM as its source… Computer and Video Games doesn’t. (“Details have been released…” yeah, well, it’s terrible to actually NAME a competitor…)…

A week ago, BOLL came up with a new technique for creating cool panoramic views from Halo. He’s continued to create, and the current collection is up to 31 images. We’ve built them a home in our Miscellaneous section, and will add new images as he creates them. (Warning: the current page has more than…

In an effort to break the database system at the Halo Story page, Finn processes another 18 user submissions in the two days since his last Story page update. If you think your puny human brain can handle it, head over to the Halo Story Page and read, read, read! (FAQ coming soon, apparently.)

Forum regular Opie301 has submitted a Reference Guide for Halo multiplayer gametype creation. All the various options available when you’re creating a new gametype are explained in detail. This is available now in our Miscellaneous section, as well as from Subnova, online… and if you choose, you can download a Microsoft Word document or a…

For those who haven’t grabbed Episode 4 of Red vs Blue from the official site (or for those in Europe), Eclarap points out that Halo-Game is once again mirroring this content.

Skav’s back.

Just a heads-up to the Fan Fiction writers… an oversight that’s been in place since the new automated system went online a couple of months ago has finally been rectified. (Thanks to Socrates for the heads-up.) You can now submit poetry again. The warning below the poetry/prose radio button should not be taken lightly.

Well, if you’re good at acronyms, this forum post from Red Dawg can help you figure out how the finals went at the Halo50K tournament… but the bottom line is, The Dream Team (which has won both AGP tournaments to date, as well as (in the person of one of its members) the Halo National…

Now HERE’S a weird one. Stefander dropped off a short movie he made, showing a small oversight on Bungie’s part. To reproduce it, you need a modded Xbox. Play the Maw right at the start – kill off the first wave of Flood that bust down the door. The second wave is just two guys…

To the eight million and one people sending us info about the OXM scans… Yes, it’s true: the June issue of the Official Xbox Magazine has a massive Halo 2 article, with some pretty incredible pictures. Yes, they’re allowed to print those – they got their permission straight from Bungie. Yes, we know that there…

Another movie for ya – Fight or Flight, from Dancing Grunt Productions. 4:30 long, this movie is full of fun little snippets, mostly from single player or coop. From it, you can see stuff like coordinated marine rolls, cheating death by using vehicles, and some nicely timed warthog tosses (one into a blue beam -…
