Interesting – a thread over at High Impact Halo describes a way to get three players on a single Xbox into a Coop Campaign game (normally, you’re limited to two). DollarPwnCenter created a video tutorial for folks who learn visually. Looks pretty cool! Thanks to Cocopjojo for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 23:38:23 UTC)

Jordan117 ran across a picture that answers a 7-year-old question… and ties some very cool dates together. Nice work!(Louis Wu 23:26:59 UTC)

Since I was out yesterday, the standard Fan Fiction update never happened – there were 9 new pieces in there. Go read ’em!(Louis Wu 15:24:31 UTC)

Today’s episode of Another Halo Comic Strip has ZZoMBiE13 putting forth an alternative ending for Halo 3. I think I would have loved it. (Potential spoilers for anyone who hasn’t finished the game yet.)(Louis Wu 15:12:25 UTC)

A great article on the Rooster Teeth crew (focusing on their Halo work, with an awesome opening image) can be found in a somewhat unlikely place – IEEE Spectrum, a professional journal aimed primarily at electrical engineers. Check it out! (It does a nice job of covering machinima in general, as well.) Thanks to RvB’s…

TheChrisD let us know that Rumble Pit World series is holding a special ‘Sevens’ tournament on Cold Storage on Monday, in honor of Bungie Day – festivities start around 8 pm EST. 7 parties, 7 players, 7 minutes before a final with a first prize of $77! Go read the rest of the details at…

Hawty McBloggy found a video called ‘The Sound of Halo 3’, which attempts to create music from the battle sounds of Halo 3. It has mixed success.(Louis Wu 10:21:11 UTC)

mrsmiley let us know that Episode 5 of Pyrosmile’s Master Chief Theater 3000 (the continuation of Pyroman’s MST3K parody) is now on YouTube. This one shows off the end of Floodgate.(Louis Wu 10:20:24 UTC)

Omega spent some time in Pan-Cam mode, measuring stuff. Interesting results! (Looks like Bungie did a little fudging…(Louis Wu 10:18:39 UTC)

2phast let us know that Larry the Marine has changed to a Friday release schedule – and that Episode 28 is now up. I think there are certain weapons Larry should never be allowed to get his hands on.(Louis Wu 10:18:09 UTC)

Back in April, AfRo SaUcE recorded a funny clip showing the Arbiter betraying him on Floodgate. He’s back, showing off a new attempt. Arby didn’t succeed this time… but it was close!(Louis Wu 10:17:45 UTC)

Yesterday was Friday, which means that Hawty McBloggy posted a new round of Friday Caption Fun. There are great submissions for last week’s pic (along with some gratuitous pain for me) – and a new image which should generate more than a few drunk jokes. Go add your own! (Louis Wu 10:17:10 UTC)

Probably the biggest news making the rounds yesterday was a rumor – it started over at Sarcastic Gamer on Thursday (with a quick followup a little later) – they claim that an anonymous source asserts that Halo 4 is in full development by Bungie. The followup claims that this project will be announced at E3.…

Something that’s been needed for a LONG time on Bungie.net has been a summary of the details of the playlists – what games/maps are in which lists, and how often, that sort of thing. Thursday night, Shishka (with some help) finally put this up – go visit to read about the lists! A comment thread…

Hellhawk followed up his ‘Chief vs Scarab’ with a ‘Chief vs Grunt’ vid – also cute! (Louis Wu 09:45:44 UTC)

Rampancy.net posted an arrangement of Leonidas for jazz band, created by cheeze. Cool!(Louis Wu 09:45:17 UTC)

Here’s hoping everyone’s 4th of July was memorable! I had a lot of Halo stuff facing me when I returned… let’s see if I can get through a little of it before my day REALLY starts. First up – Watkins Glen International raceway held a special event on Thursday – they teamed IndyCar Series drivers…

We’d like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July! If you’re outside of the US, we apologize for the lack of news today – feel free to blow something up in response. (That’s certainly going to be happening INSIDE the US…) Might I suggest some Halo 3 Campaign? We’re just…
