NZ-TK’s added another couple of progress shots for his EOD helmet – you can find them at the 405th Forum, or you can find them in his gallery here.(Louis Wu 21:36:08 UTC)

Maximum Fear pointed out a small gallery he’s put up for a Master Chief sculpture created by Jason Evans – great job! (Louis Wu 21:34:20 UTC)

In the last few months, we’ve posted links to lots of panoramic shots (and collections of panoramic shots), and one of the more common questions we see these days is “how do you use the pan-cam feature/how do you get outside of the levels to take those pics?” pete_the_duck has kindly written up an easy-to-follow…

Halo.fr interviewed Adam Grumbo, armor maker extraordinaire. If you’d rather read it in English, the original is here. Thanks, LastSpartan.(Louis Wu 17:30:11 UTC)

Ragegummy, from The Social, let us know about a new gametype they’re promoting – it’s called ‘Dodgeball’. I’ve played a few different gametypes where the goal was to stick the opponent (including the Bungie Favorite ‘Nades and Spades’), and I love them… this one seems seriously polished. Check out the rules and guidelines – then…

Yesterday, we got a note from Stephen Loftus – he’d used a tool pointed out on our forum to add some previously-unknown measurements to his Halo Scale Comparison charts. The UNSC Albatross Dropship has been added to the UNSC Vehicles page. Nice! (There might also be some new articles on the way, soon…)(Louis Wu 16:06:38…

I stumbled upon ‘Honoring Bungie’, a group at Bungie.net that has done some interviews with Bungie personnel – there’s a three-parter with Luke Smith (Part One | Part Two | Part Three) and another three-parter with JonnyOThan (Part One | Part Two | Part Three). Go see what drove these guys to get jobs at…

Hawty McBloggy posted her next iteration of Friday Caption Fun yesterday – apologies for missing it. Top captions from last week’s pic, plus a new pic for you to work with. (I’m guessing the comments section for this one will be pretty R-rated by the time it’s done…)(Louis Wu 17:47:31 UTC)

Not completely Halo-related… but there are definitely Halo items here. Tied the Leader is running a Memorial Day Fundraising Auction, with all proceeds to benefit the Tied the Leader Foundation. Lots of cool stuff up for grabs – you probably have to be registered on their forum to see this stuff, but it’s worth it.…

xMixMasterX stopped by with word of ‘Week 5 of Mix Picks’ up at The Social. These are Bungie.net-hosted film clips, culled by him from a much larger collection. (There are screenshots and descriptions to let you know what you’re in for before you download.) Go see!(Louis Wu 17:28:34 UTC)

mrsmiley let us know that Halo Babies has now set up personal art galleries for all members – if you’re looking for a place to exhibit your Halo-related artwork, check ’em out! (You can probably use ’em for more than Halo art – but hey, we’re a Halo site, so that’s what we focus on.)(Louis…

Adam Kovic let us know that Inside Halo 15 is now up for viewing on Machinima.com – apparently, they’re not happy with negative reviews, so… IT RAWKS! Just 3 minutes long, and very little Halo news, but hey, whaddaya want from a cave?(Louis Wu 14:18:15 UTC)

Yesterday also saw a new episode of Halo Action Figure Theater – Elnea continues to build the suspense. Go read!(Louis Wu 12:28:49 UTC)

MLGPro.com has kicked off a new video series, the Stride Championship Series. This first episode is a match between Triggers Down and Fatal Images, with commentary by MLG’s Chris Puckett and Sundance DiGiovanni. Great match to watch – close to the finish! Thanks to all who wrote in about this, but Luke Smith, at Bungie.net,…

Last night, as is true for most Friday nights, Bungie released a Weekly Update – this one contains details on matchmaking playlist changes, more details on upcoming (but not upcoming soon) maps, and a bunch of fan questions, answered. There’s lots of good info in those answers – but the two tidbits that caught my…

Oh, my goodness. The Guest Artist on today’s Another Halo Comic Strip is… well, geez. Go read. And Groan.(Louis Wu 17:03:45 UTC)

DogCow spent a little time detailing the similarities between Halo’s Library level and ‘If I Had a Rocket Launcher’, a Marathon 2 level released in 1995. He found seven of them – and now that I think about it, he’s right! Makes you wonder if Ferrex was thinking about Marathon 2 during the development of…

Mid7night stopped by to announce that he’s released a scenery package for X-Plane – you can now fly around inside a Marathon-Class cruiser in that game, and try and land a Pelican or Longsword in there. Go look!(Louis Wu 15:20:46 UTC)

Heh – Anton P. Nym noticed that Willamette Week, a Portland, OR weekly newspaper, interviewed Jen Taylor, because of a role she’s got at Portland Center Stage right now… and when the conversation turned to Jen’s experience voicing Cortana for the Halo series, she said that she doesn’t get any fan mail related to the…

There’s a fascinating blog post from Mike Caulfield, an administrator at Keene State College in New Hampshire – it posits that games like Halo 3 are better at teaching problem-solving than ‘puzzle’ games. Go read why.(Louis Wu 14:27:39 UTC)
