Dennis Powers let us know that Shipwrecked 29 is up – those guys might be in trouble…(Louis Wu 18:25:17 UTC)

As you might have noticed with our In the Spotlight image on the right – MLG will be broadcasting Halo 3 streams live from San Diego, today and tomorrow – click through to watch! (As of this writing, they haven’t started yet – they kick off in about 90 minutes.)(Louis Wu 14:01:50 UTC)

Last night’s Bungie Weekly Update (viewable, as usual, either on Bungie.net or in our Weekly Update Archive) was pretty simple – Luke and Shishka are off in San Diego for MLG’s tourney there – it covered banning fun, some cool user-created content, a hint about late summer, and a warning about Big Team Battle. Go…

Xbox.com’s Game with Fame is back with another Halo 3 challenge – this Sunday, you can play with James McAvoy, star of the new movie Wanted. Thanks to Xbox360Fanboy for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 20:16:10 UTC)

So a week or so ago, General Vagueness asked whether our forum had an RSS feed, so that he could keep up on the latest posts without having to drop in and load the main page. There wasn’t one… then. Two long-time contributors jumped in to fill the void – BOLL whipped up a php-based…

This week’s Community Spotlight over at Bungie.net is on Compound Intelligence, a group that started up in response to the Iris ARG last summer. You can learn more about them in the writeup, and you can see some of their favorite files in the Bungie Favorites section, which they’re currently filling.(Louis Wu 18:16:33 UTC)

It’s been a nice break, I think… but there are limits. Stuntmutt is on hand to help ZZoMBiE13 come to some foregone conclusions. Go read today’s guest Another Halo Comic Strip.(Louis Wu 17:59:16 UTC)

Halo Wars Addict interviewed Thunder, the Community Manager over at Ensemble Studios. Some good info, some nice dodging – go give it a read! This might be the last big chunk of Halo Wars news before E3, coming up in mid-July.(Louis Wu 17:52:48 UTC)

Finnish Spartan sent us pics of his latest piece of work – a Spartan Helmet. Spiffy! Check it out.(Louis Wu 17:23:19 UTC)

mendicantbias00 noticed that D&R has finally posted info on how to preorder their Pink Mark VI Halo Exclusive McFarlane figure – if you’ve been waiting for a Pink McFarlane (yes, bs angel, I’m looking at you), this is it! (Louis Wu 17:22:35 UTC)

It’s Friday, so it’s time for another Friday Caption Fun over at Hawty McBloggy’s. She got almost 500 submissions for last week’s pic (which I suppose explains why she didn’t laugh at my entry (the post title)) – and she’s got a new one up for you now… go toss in your two cents!(Louis Wu…

BlitzSnake sent word that a NEW trailer for Neurons 2 is now up on YouTube. (The last one was posted in February. And if I hadn’t been told this was a Halo machinima, I sure wouldn’t learn that from the new trailer…) (Louis Wu 17:21:11 UTC)

kilaMOMjaro let us know about a couple of upcoming goodies from The PraetoriaGuard – next week is the next edition of Frag a Friend, the ongoing community leader get-together. (If you’re a leader of an established Halo community, you’re eligible for play – swing by and sign up.) And coming up at the end of…

GotFrag has put up its own preview of MLG San Diego, set to kick off tomorrow. Go check out their picks for top performances, then follow along tomorrow to see how they did!(Louis Wu 17:18:19 UTC)

Nine new pieces for you today in the Fan Fiction section – go read! (Submitters – don’t forget to read the submission guidelines… I hate having to delete submissions because they violate the rules.)(Louis Wu 17:17:11 UTC)

MLGPro.com has posted Episode 4 of its Stride Championship Series – this time it’s Fatal Images vs Ambush on Guardian, and it’s a nailbiter. Thanks to the Bungie Blog for the heads-up (though it’s incorrectly labeled as Part 5 there).(Louis Wu 17:15:49 UTC)

Wow – ReleasetheMonk continues with his Halo-footage-and-movie-soundtracks mashups – this time, it’s Lord of the Rings, and I have to say, I’m impressed with the timing. Great clip choices, great synching! Go watch. (Louis Wu 21:10:31 UTC)

elessar787 noticed a photoshop contest on cracked.com where people added video game items to real-life photos. Halo gets its share of love.(Louis Wu 21:09:31 UTC)

Wow, very cool. Capt Spanish has reformatted the Smuggler text (provided for us in recent Bungie Weekly Updates) into a more… appropriate style. Go see!(Louis Wu 20:32:59 UTC)

Over at Forge Hub, Devinish has put together a pretty extensive Advanced Guide to Respawns – if you’re into building maps with Forge, this puppy is almost certainly worth reading. Thanks, Luke.(Louis Wu 20:21:15 UTC)
