Leviathan has been working on Pixellated Halo for a while now – he’s getting tired of boring still shots for updates. So he made a movie. It’s a bit over 3 minutes long, and it does a good job of showing off gameplay, scenery, and cutscenes – it looks pretty exciting! You can grab it…

Sometimes things only get done here when people do them, and then tell us about it. Not long ago, HaLo2FrEeEk, of Clan Infectionist, contacted us about some hi-def (720p) versions of the Halo 2 cutscenes he’d created, using Halo 2 PC. They were beautiful… and big. So we’re sharing the load. If you visit the…

Hawty McBloggy found that her Friday Caption Fun experiment last week went really well; there were over 100 entries from users, some of them very funny. Go read what folks thought of the last entry… and think up your own witticisms for the new one she just posted!(Louis Wu 15:13:36 UTC)

Keegan stopped by to let us know that he’s started work on an Arbiter helmet; you can see some early progress pics in his forum post. NIce!(Louis Wu 13:12:18 UTC)

Just six new pieces in the Fan Fiction section this week… go read ’em!(Louis Wu 13:06:31 UTC)

Bungie played the guys from Rare this week in their Halo Humpday Challenge – apparently, they were forced to play at the crack of daw- um, 9 am. Poor guys; I hate having to get up that early. Even with that ridiculous requirement, AND some sneaky player shenanigans… they STILL won (though only by a…

Adam Grumbo let us know that the Austin Wind Symphony will be performing “The Music of Video Games” tomorrow night, at the Bethany Lutheran Church (which I assume is in Austin – the website makes ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION of how to find the locale – there’s not even a street address to Google); Adam will…

Today’s episode of Another Halo Comic Strip might actually provide an alternate explanation for Stuntmutt’s decision to retire One One Se7en…(Louis Wu 19:19:51 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a video made by Richiedude, of the 405th, showing the evolution of a fan-made Spartan helmet. Pretty cool!(Louis Wu 19:18:25 UTC)

Sep7imus alerted us to a note on the website of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, a Hollywood comedy theater. On Thursday, March 20, at 9:30 pm, they’re hosting ‘Halo 3: The Show’, based on (well, duh) Halo 3. A panel of celebrities (including Halo 3 voice actors Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk) will discuss the…

spu7n1k has been working (for a while) on a ‘Master Chief vs Spiderman’ comic – he’s decided to start posting these to spur himself to faster progress. I’m not sure if you should ask why these two guys are fighting… but if you wanted to see them do it, swing by his post!(Louis Wu 15:20:35…

DHalo let us know that he’s created an app that works with the HaloAPI to save your stats to a file on your drive. It requires Windows (and .NET) to run. A download link is in his post on the HaloAPI forum.(Louis Wu 15:06:16 UTC)

Brian Jarrard sat down with IGN Australia to talk about Forge, user-created content, and where Bungie wants to go with all this stuff in the future. Nice read! Thanks to cheapLEY for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 15:03:16 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy picked out some kickass Halo 3 Wallpaper designs from around the net – she got a bunch from here, but she also got a bunch from other places. Go see! Thanks, discopete019.(Louis Wu 23:15:54 UTC)

Bungie’s posted info about the March Playlist update over at Bungie.net – they’re introducing DoubleXP weekend playlists, with the first one featuring Grifball. They’re also adding some tweaks to the Heroic DLC hopper, and some random changes to other playlists. Go read for full details! Thanks, Pkmnrulz240.(Louis Wu 23:13:03 UTC)

Cody Miller posted highlights from the recent High Speed Halo tournament – check out the videos in his forum post. Looks like it was a lot of fun!(Louis Wu 21:40:03 UTC)

Bungie Lead Mission Designer Chris Opdahl has a sister at the Magnolia Intermediate School in Grass Valley, CA – and he’s managed to get her a Bungie-signed Legendary Helmet to auction on eBay as a fundraiser for the school. If you’re interested in the helmet, or in helping out the school… swing by the auction…

Schedonnardus went to an Election Coverage party at his school last night (he lives in Texas)… and snapped some pictures of a blue Master Chief pulling for Ron Paul. Check out his forum post for pics, and a vid.(Louis Wu 12:45:21 UTC)

QuickTactical showed off a YouTube vid of 4 school bands playing a Halo piece together – apparently, this was only the second time they’d played it as a group. Not bad!(Louis Wu 12:41:30 UTC)

Blinding stopped by to announce a ‘Forging Contest’ – he’s looking for a Forged map he can use to make machinima, and (for now, at least), the winner will get to have their map used in a Halo 3 machinima. (Eventually, if he makes enough money from Google’s AdSense, he’ll offer other goodies – but…
