Yesterday, I asked for stories of people who met (or just played with) their significant others on the Halo battlefield. The thread started off really slowly… and I was afraid it was a bust. (The first couple of posts were dumb jokes, and the next series was totally off-topic.) However, I woke up this morning…

ZZoMBiE13 pays tribute to a true inspiration in today’s episode of Another Halo Comic Strip. Great stuff!(Louis Wu 16:05:08 UTC)

Mike sent us a note wondering if we’d be interested in doing some coverage of couples that play Halo together. I think it’s an interesting subject – I know some of our forum denizens are Halo couples, and I’ve been playing a lot recently with a couple (in fact, the party usually includes his mom,…

Rockslider is back with another megabattle setup – up to 52 Covenant enemies under the AA gun at the end of The Storm. Go read the details at Bad Cyborg!(Louis Wu 14:52:16 UTC)

In other Halo news, Mid7night announced that he’s collected all the Halo vehicles he’s ported to X-Plane in one place – swing by and take a look!(Louis Wu 14:47:09 UTC)

Wow. I think we might have weathered the storm. Last night, we helped Bungie host “Our Favorite Things”, a trailer that should pump you up for the Heroic DLC (whether you have it or not) – We served nearly 25,000 copies of it from three separate pipes in the past 12 hours, eating almost a…

Okay, this is just a quick post because there’s some confusion about the Heroic trailer being linked to in tonight’s Weekly Update, over at Bungie.net. We’ve put up three separate mirrors of the videos – grab the one that’s the right size and filetype for you: QuickTime 360p (17 mb): files1 | files2 | files3…

A few months after Halo 2 was released, a number of long-time Halo fans got together on AIM to discuss what was right – and wrong – about the game. The original plan was to use a cleaned-up version of this discussion as an official HBO review of Halo 2 (any of the participants were…

Wow. Remember a couple of weeks ago, when Bungie made a bad situation better by sending a huge box of schwag to the guy who’d had his artwork erased when he sent his Xbox in for service? It doesn’t end there. Microsoft sent him ANOTHER box of stuff – this one contained a surreal amount…

DigitalPh33r has released It’s a Wonderful LIVE, Episode 2 – mostly, he makes fun of the PS3, but also mocks Canada-ignorant players. 11 minutes long, rather bitter in tone. Doesn’t look like it’s on YouTube yet – though there ARE some forgeries there right now. Thanks, SPARTAN 294.(Louis Wu 18:17:36 UTC)

Cody Miller posted a crossword puzzle filled with HBO-derivable trivia – I’ve taken a look at it, and I’ll tell you… it’s not easy. He’s offering a cool shirt if you can finish it before April 1…(Louis Wu 17:03:35 UTC)

Only five new pieces for you today in the Fan Fiction section (I had to delete a story that had nothing whatsoever to do with Halo). Go read!(Louis Wu 11:45:06 UTC)

Aidsterramma noticed that Bungie’s writeup of this week’s Halo Humpday Challenge is now live – it looks like you can blame Frankie… again. That man needs to get a better net connection.(Louis Wu 11:20:07 UTC)

synide stopped by to announce that the second MLG/ESPN Top Ten is now live – you gotta see these clips. They’re all downloadable on from the ‘MLG Video’ fileshare, so you can watch ’em in hi-def… but Chris Puckett’s commentary is classic. Go watch!(Louis Wu 11:16:51 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy continues her ‘Friday Caption Fun’ series – she’s got results from last week’s pic, as well as a new pic for you to caption. It’s great to see what people come up with!(Louis Wu 11:11:58 UTC)

I mean, really, you can’t. Stop asking.(Count Zero 05:37:44 UTC)

Gravemind wrote a massively long ‘History of Mid-range Combat in Halo’, and posted it on his blog. Go read.(Louis Wu 20:56:58 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found another infected action figure – go check it out. Scary!(Louis Wu 20:52:59 UTC)
