ManKitten posted a link (sort of) to a bunch of pictures of a really cool coffee table he modified; to make it easier for YOU to see, we put up local copies. Check it out!(Louis Wu 05:52:40 UTC)

Over at Bungie.net, you’ll find an interesting interview with Max Hoberman, head of Certain Affinity (the company that built the two new Halo 2 maps being released later this month) – there’s a lot of discussion about the maps themselves (and the changes that needed to be made to make them fun again), and there’s…

MLG’s posted prize money for the 2007 Pro Circuit; there’s more than a million bucks on the line for participants! They’re also boosting the number of teams eligible for travel stipend cash; pretty cool! Thanks, Tyger.(Louis Wu 21:49:08 UTC)

Machinima.com is running a contest called ‘GameBox 1.0 Machinimaker Award’ – three entries (out of 10) will get a nice NVIDIA card. Machine Enema’s Pie Chapter 2 (which, for the record, we loved) is in the running – go vote! Thanks, Adam Kovic.(Louis Wu 20:27:01 UTC)

Kiaffex dropped in to point out Podtacular’s ‘Pod TV Episode 9: Superjumps and Glitching’; I’m not sure it makes a lot of sense to actually DEMONSTRATE how to do something that Bungie’s identified as cheating… but as long as you’re not doing it in MatchMaking, I guess we’re fine. Available in iPod-compatible .mp4 and YouTube…

XerxdeeJ stopped by a bit after midnight – the standard Tuesday Tied the Leader update was a bit earlier than usual. Along with the now-regular 22 Questions interview (Robert Summa, the Executive Editor of Destructoid – terse, but telling), you’ll also find a TTL Salute to the Ghostbuster (I can just hear this being read…

BitMaP stopped by our forum last night with a new Strouperman comic – not so much Halo-related, as RedvsBlue related, but hey…(Louis Wu 14:39:53 UTC)

Mister Froggy pointed out Halo, Articulated #28 – I must say, it doesn’t paint the Master Chief in a very flattering light…(Louis Wu 14:37:54 UTC)

Wow, very cool. Microsoft has announced a Disc Replacement Program – if you have a damaged Xbox 360 disc that they publish, and you own a 360, they’ll send you a new one, at a reduced rate. Halo 2 falls into this category – so if you’ve got a 360, and a non-functional Halo 2…

Today’s One One Se7en was submitted last week – but it’s funnier than a similar joke posted yesterday at TeamXbox.(Louis Wu 18:01:51 UTC)

Zerowind117 put together a short documentary about setting up a LANfest – specifically a Halo 2 LANfest. Video is hosted at Google. Take a look.(Louis Wu 18:00:08 UTC)

It seems that every year, people have trouble figuring out which April Fools stories are true, and which are not. (We don’t help very much; we intersperse regular Halo news bits with April Fools stories as they come in, and rarely draw attention to the fact that they may or may not be real.) For…

Last night, I was lucky enough to find myself at the Video Games Live concert that was performed at Yale University’s Woolsey Hall. Great music, for a couple of hours… and then the piece de resistance – the standard Halo theme, followed immediately by the Halo 3 ‘Finish The Fight’ piece. Miguel Chavez was able…

Sigafoos points out The Riot 42, with coverage of the community, the new maps, and some silly soap opera stuff. And more, of course. 31 minutes, 12.5 mb.(Louis Wu 20:59:36 UTC)

Filmspot has info about the resurrection of the Halo movie – new details include Lions Gate as the new studio, Steve Downes confirmed as the Master Chief. More in the article. Thanks, BlueNinja.(Louis Wu 19:21:07 UTC)

Bungie.net has posted an apology for an industry leak of the upcoming Pimps at Sea movie – apparently, a distributor leaked a poster that was NOT supposed to be public. I guess this has the potential of hurting the upcoming ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ finale… it’s not Halo-related, but it IS Bungie-related, and if anybody…

Hardly Halo-related, except for the names… but TeamXbox has a story about the new Xbox 360 Brute Edition (a step up from the Elite Edition). 1TB drive, Super Multi Blue drive (reads both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD), motion-sensitive controller. List price of $599. Thanks, MasterChief2829.(Louis Wu 16:49:53 UTC)

After almost four years of strips, Stuntmutt has finally updated the look of One One Se7en. (Details on the changes can be found in his personal blog – swing by and let him know what you think of the new look!)(Louis Wu 14:55:10 UTC)

Simply Greg stopped by to point out Energy Episode 4: The Aeros – we’re getting a glimpse at the bigger picture. This is available in quite a few formats – check his forum post for details.(Louis Wu 14:47:55 UTC)

Mini-update from Devrous about FS2H, his Freespace 2 Halo project. Dangerous day for mini-updates…(Louis Wu 14:15:13 UTC)
