Hey – it’s Friday! That means it’s time for Friday Caption Fun, at Hawty McBloggy’s. Nice captions from last week’s pic, and a new shot of a pretty wild vehicle – go play!(Louis Wu 16:26:09 UTC)

Total awesomeness – LeeKegan, of the 405th, whipped up a Brute Mauler, and it’s gorgeous. Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 16:23:59 UTC)

FyreWulff is back with another dose of Firefight Friday – this one is called ‘Blitzkrieg’, and can be played on either Heroic or Normal difficulty, on Last Exit. NO SNIPERS! (In honor of yesterday’s faux ViDoc, it’s chess-themed.)(Louis Wu 15:50:10 UTC)

If you’re one of the people who is worried about the direction that Rooster Teeth is taking with their Red vs Blue series (moving away from purely in-game footage, adding animated CG), you might want to watch the most recent episode of Jeskid TV. Jeskid is a long-time RvB fan with a web TV show,…

I would like to apologize for not mentioning yesterday that Rooster Teeth planned to stream the first 3.5 episodes of the new season of Red vs Blue live to sponsors – it was a one-time-only deal. (They were doing a show at the Alamo Draft House at the same time.) Turns out, it didn’t go…

dCon V pointed out a one-time deal at Tee Fury today; $9 plus shipping for a Halo/Mario mashup t-shirt. (Tee Fury’s deal is one shirt, per day, then it’s gone. Buy it now, or buy it never.) Because it’ll probably not be visible if you read this after the day it’s posted, the shirt image…

Taco Power stopped into our forum to announce Tsieh She, a “celebration of an average player having an above average day” – it’s a fun, mellow montage showing off clips we’re ALL capable of, from time to time. It’s not MLGPro gameplay – but most of us can probably connect with this level better, anyway.…

Four new pieces up for your reading pleasure in the Fan Fiction section this week. One of those pieces, Halo Clairvoyance Chapter 5, has some additional content described in this forum post. Go read! (Louis Wu 14:25:01 UTC)

Podtacular is doing a 3-part special farewell to Halo 2 – the first part is up already. Part two will be recording Monday – and will feature Foo Mo Jive, returning to say goodbye to an old favorite. If you’d like to recount your favorite stories from Halo 2, you need to send submissions to…

Kombo.com started up an article series they call ‘Out of Reach’ – it’s full of things they’re hoping to get out of Halo: Reach. (Geddit? Out of Reach? Geddit?) Part 1 went up on Monday (we missed it, sorry), Part 2 is live today. They’re expecting to post Part 3 tomorrow.(Louis Wu 21:42:54 UTC)

Remember Bridge CE? (Yeah, it was a long time ago.) It’s risen from the grave, though… and moved to a new engine. Go read about it!(Louis Wu 19:58:25 UTC)

There’s not a lot of Halo content, but it’s a good read all the same – elpolloguapo wrote up a summary of PAX East 2010, from the standpoint of the UNSC Spirits of Fire (a bunch of HBO/HMB fans, for the most part). If you didn’t make it, go see what you missed! (If you…

mendicantbias00 sent word that Halcylon has created a new piece of Halo artwork, inspired by the movie 300. Really nicely done!(Louis Wu 19:42:11 UTC)

New Bungie ViDoc! It’s only on Bungie’s YouTube channel right now, but I’d guess it’ll be up for download on Bungie.net soon. Forget Grifball… specialized Halo will never be the same. May 3 can’t come soon enough! Update: it IS already up on Bungie.net – I just didn’t get a node that was updated yet,…

2good4u2 dropped by with links to a bunch of pics – some panoramas, some modified panoramas – awesome work across the board! Go look. (I liked Mindblast a lot.)(Louis Wu 16:29:16 UTC)

Whoa. Looks like a site that USED to be devoted to Halo PC/CE (and mods for those games) is now selling maps and cartography supplies. We’ll miss you, Halo Maps.(Louis Wu 16:20:50 UTC)

Anakade stopped in to let us know about Echopraxia, a Halo 3 multiplayer tricking vid. Some fun stuff in there!(Louis Wu 15:22:52 UTC)

Devin Olsen noticed a trailer for the Halo Movie Series that popped up today at IGN – this explains that mysterious pic Bungie Tweets posted recently!(Louis Wu 15:18:09 UTC)

According to Blast, Bungie is capitalizing on the superior power of the Cell processor to bring Reach to the Playstation 3 a week earlier (and $10 cheaper) than to the Xbox 360. What platform will YOU buy it for?(Louis Wu 15:12:34 UTC)

Do you have what it takes to be a BUNGLE Pro? Alien Emperor has put together a three-part testing regimen; go see how good you are!(Louis Wu 13:31:57 UTC)
