Back in July, we posted a video by Warbow, showing a jump across the broken bridge underground in AotCR, without explosives. He didn’t quite make it to the other side (well, he did, but not a place he could actually leave from). synide recently submitted a vid showing this jump… but making it all the…

Hehe – Dark Helmet found a real-life Warthog (made by Peugeot) on the Xbox.com forums. It’s pretty slick-looking! (Okay, it’ll probably cost too much to make Warthog Jousting feasible… but it’s still a nice dream.)

Props to Aginor, for finding a pretty interesting presentation by Adrian Perez, Gameplay and Graphics Programmer for Bungie, who talked for MSImpact, a Microsoft-sponsored student organization at CMU, about some of the deficiencies of Halo: CE, and what Bungie is doing to make Halo 2 better. It’s a fascinating read. Head over to Unlimited Lives…

poena.dare continues his staff-stalking ways and turns up some interesting information from Brannon Boren’s online journal about Brannon’s Halo-related activities recently. Check out Bungie Sightings for the details!

Another review of Halo: The Flood has surfaced, this time on Subnova.

Nine stories for the Fan Fiction section:Just Getting Started Chapter Six, by James Kinsella Halo: Captain Keyes Story Part 3, by monitor101 The Assult on the Control Room: Archangels squad part III, by AlphaBravo343 OSIRIS XIII 01: SHADOWS OF THE SWORD, by TheRedFaction A New Breed Part 1: All Hell Chapters 1 and 2, by…

Once again, we’re falling behind in the art submissions; there might be more later today, if time permits, but as a start, here are three desktop images for our Wallpaper section.

Ryan ‘Mhaddy’ Matthews points out that the Junkyard has put up a fan-written review of Halo: The Flood; go check it out!

I completely forgot to post this yesterday – but it’s hilarious, and you HAVE to go watch it. Back in September, the guys who ran Drunkgamers.com started a project called ‘Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles’. It generated a lot of interest, at the time… but then the project dropped off the radar screens,…

Stories in the Fan Fiction section for the day – an even seven:A Foul Mood, by Dirty Commie Halo: 11th Strategic Interceptor Wing: First Engagement, by LordofDestruction Just Getting Started Chapter Five, by James Kinsella Flight of the Thunderbird, by Tommarrow and LordofDestruction Storming the Fortress—Part II of Souls of War, by CJ Champion End…

A couple of weeks ago, we put up a news article about an origami Master Chief project available from playmore.com. Later that day, Geeoff put up shots of his finished product (including a custom-added AR). We haven’t heard from anyone else… until today, when DocOctavius (in a transparent?but ultimately doomed-to-failure?bid to flood our front page)…

poena.dare is working on a strategy game called ‘Ringwor’, based on Halo. He’s currently soliciting feedback on the rules; check out what’s up already, and see if you can contribute!

Whoa – thanks to Ramius, who pointed out a post on Gearbox Software’s forum in which Dave Mertz of Gearbox confirms that Halo PC currently has screenshot capability. That will certainly make documentation easier!

The MC with a Peace pendant? Now that’s just wrong. Update: DocOctavius points out that it’s not a peace sign, it’s a Mercedes emblem. (And that’s better, somehow? No, no… that’s still wrong.)

CNNmoney has an article on the potential problems Microsoft is facing this November… when hundreds of thousands of Xbox Live subscribers come up for renewal, and the hook MS was hoping would bring them all back for another year (Halo 2) will still be a few months off. It’s an interesting read, with some fun…

Thanks to strato99l, who pointed out an April 1 story that we missed. Xbox Evolved has an ‘interview’ with Alex Seropian, in which he discloses that Halo 2 will be multiplatform, with versions for both the Playstation 2 and Gamecube to follow the Xbox version. The biggest mistake here is using Seropian as the interviewee……

Thanks to Benny, who grabbed and scanned a text-rich article from last month’s Atomic Magazine, in Australia. You’ll find it in our Press Scans section.

Two clarifications about older issues… back in early March, Mr. Fuzzles discovered that meleeing a multiplayer opponent in a very specific spot (the right shin – the foot won’t do, the hip won’t do, the left side won’t do) results in an instant death. This seemed too specific to me to be accidental; I suggested…

In much the same way that poena.dare is keeping track of Bungie employees through the Bungie Staff Tracker at Bungie Sightings, Cybrfrk has begun to put faces and real-world environments on the names you read about every so often. Check out his ‘Faces of Bungie WebCam’ page for some cool candids!

About a month ago, we received a movie from Scott McCallister, called ‘Bodies of Halo’. Timing is pretty good. We completely forgot to post it, though. So here it is, now. It originally came in as a WMV file – 17.2 mb, 3:24 long. We converted it to a QuickTime MOV as well – 15…
