SPARTAN 294 noticed that DigitalPh33r released Arby ‘n’ the Chief Episode 6 – “Brawl”. Eight and a half minutes long, it gets back to the fun that might have been missing from the last couple of episodes. Arby and the Chief play some Super Smash Brothers Brawl… and it doesn’t go so well for one…

Bungie’s Weekly Update is available now over at Bungie.net (and in our Weekly Update Archive) – lots of details about the upcoming MLG playlist, some stats about the popularity of various settings and armor choices, a few random Recon giftings, and some great screenshots of vehicles that have received a cosmetic (and in the case…

As was noted last fall, Pontiac got involved in the Halo 3 hype with a ‘First to Play’ contest, and a Halo-branded G8. Zach Mulkey points out that the website for the G8 shows off a car covered with hundreds (thousands?) of photos and movies… and some of them are Halo-related. Can you find all…

Don’t think it’s a regular thing or anything… but Stuntmutt couldn’t help responding to a lament in our forum.(Louis Wu 17:08:29 UTC)

A year ago, Elnea posted Deus Meus, a Spartan battle prayer. She’s recently gotten some high-end tools, and has been playing with this for a bit… and yesterday, she posted a newly-remastered version that’s simply gorgeous. Go listen.(Louis Wu 14:22:00 UTC)

I posted this last night, but forgot to mention it; we’ll probably be posting another one later today, so I wanted to get this announced: Field Expedient is now available in HD in the Halo 2 Cutscene Library. Mirrors, as always, include Clan Infectionist and Wraith-Ops.(Louis Wu 12:15:58 UTC)

Okay, Halo Action Figure Theater just officially got weird. Like… weirder than it’s been. I’ll never look at an infection form the same.(Louis Wu 12:12:57 UTC)

The Halo Humpday Challenge this week was against Army of the Republic, a gaming clan that plays Halo 3, among other titles. Apparently, they play it pretty well – Bungie got slaughtered. Luke’s writeup rocks. Go read it.(Louis Wu 21:40:16 UTC)

Over at Ascendant Justice, vociferous has begun pinning down the story told by Halo 3’s terminals. It’s rather detailed, and chock-full of interesting stuff; give it a read! While you’re there, they’ve put up a review of Crow’s Nest – including a Legendary saved film of the entire level. (They’re doing this for every level;…

Dan Lewis let us know that Halopedia has a Never-Ending Halo Quiz Game – users create the questions, so there’s really no finish. It’s already got over 2000 questions!(Louis Wu 14:43:45 UTC)

Some coordination problems delayed our next release of the Halo 2 cutscenes in HD – but ‘They’ll regret that, too’, along with both ‘Ladies Like Superior Firepower’ variants, are now available in our Cutscene Library. Thanks as always to HaLo2FrEeEk and Wraith7n!(Louis Wu 13:40:05 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy stumbled across a pretty cool video on YouTube; Kroden35 has created a Stereo 3D movie of a Mongoose jump (on High Ground) – no glasses required. The same eye skills that let you view magic pictures will let you watch this mongoose go off a rock… in 3D. It’s pretty amazing, once your…
