Lani let us know that you can find a Halo 2/Halo 3 montage by Outlawz at Halownage – it’s called Outlawz Says Goodbye. While you’re there, read up on a service whereby one of their members is willing to record your content for you. Nice!(Louis Wu 18:12:47 UTC)

I hate hate HATE forgetting to post a regular One One Se7en – especially when they’re clever. Luckily, yesterday’s was not clever. (Okay, maybe a little.) Sorry for the delay.(Louis Wu 15:50:22 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update is now available at Bungie.net (and in our Weekly Update Archive) – tidbits about an upcoming podcast, the next batch of DLC, a large number of questions asked by fans (and answered straightly, for the most part), details on the next wave of McFarlane figures (including a few store-specific variants we…

HeySarah dropped in to point out a new site from Neilson, the ratings company. Hey! Nielson allows anyone who wants to to to give opinions about games, television, movies, whatever – Halo is nicely represented (as evidenced by her links). Check it out – and add your two cents!(Louis Wu 23:50:23 UTC)

Okay, so a few days ago, we mentioned a new contest at Xbox.com, sponsored by the Army – play Halo 3, register for the sweepstakes, maybe win some stuff. At about the same time, a bunch of big gaming sites posted news of a Halo 3 tournament sponsored by the Army – and pointed to…

Spawn.com has updated their website with official information about the Series 2 Halo 3 figures we mentioned yesterday – and lots of screenshots. Swing by if you want to get better acquainted. Brian Curry was first with this news, but Smurfa got a thread started before I got this post up, if you’d like to…

Hawty McBloggy has posted another one of her Rorschach Inblot tests – this one is the heatmap from Epitaph. What does it look like to you? (She also pointed out, as a sidenote, that there’s a custom Transformers Halo crossover model up for sale on eBay. The last time we posted one of these, some…

Eight new stories for you in the Fan Fiction section this week. Go read. (Note to submitters; if there’s a rule about submitting that you feel you can violate because you’re a special case, please don’t expect to actually see your story posted. There are very, very, VERY few special cases.)(Louis Wu 16:00:58 UTC)

This week’s Halo Humpday Challenge was a unique one – Bungie went up against some of the earliest Grifball players in a 3-game Grifball match. They got pummeled. (Hammered, even.) Go read about it.(Louis Wu 15:56:45 UTC)

Rampancy.net has reworked their Sheet Music section to allow for easier searching and finding; take a look!(Louis Wu 15:53:52 UTC)

MikeSierra is selling his collection of Joyride figures; they’re not in their original packaging, but he HAS kept them pristine, and he’d love for them to go to a Halo fan. You can see pictures on his eBay auction page. (He’s in the UK, and starting bid is £350, if that affects your desire to…

TTL Dren and some friends set up a situation last night in which a single shot with a Spartan Laser garnered him 43 separate medals. Now THAT’S impressive. (It could probably be improved by a few – but please, we’re not going to post a dozen “I got 44!” or “I got 47!” notes. The…

On the subject of comics, we’re proud to announce that bungie.org has become home to yet ANOTHER Halo comic strip – Elnea’s Halo Action Figure Theater can now be found locally. Elnea’s done an amazing job of porting over ALL her old HAFT content to a new, easy-to-navigate system based on the ComicPress theme for…

Happy Birthday to ZZoMBiE13! He turns… um, I dunno how old today, but wish him well anyway. His latest installment of Another Halo Comic Strip melds Halo with Disney’s Fantasia… and it rocks. (He’s also posted an email address, if you need to reach him; it’s been available, subtly, at the bottom of his comic…

cheapLEY took a bunch of nice shots in cutscenes, for use as desktop images; you can find some in this post, and more in this one. Nice work!(Louis Wu 17:06:03 UTC)

GameCareerGuide.com has an article entitled ‘How Halo 3 Changed Game Development’ – I’m not sure it did what it set out to do (which was to show that Bungie’s handling of Halo 3 has changed how games will be developed in the future), but it IS a nice summary of how well Bungie delivered on…
