Funkmon wrote to point out two new portable-formatted vids at Halo: Portable – Jamie98s’ We Become Silhouettes, and the newly-posted Legend 3 (whose provenance is still being debated) are now up. Go grab ’em for your PSP/iPod/Zune! (Wait… people actually OWN Zunes?)(Louis Wu 14:42:13 UTC)

Evilcam is a new moderator at Bungie.net – and he’s also the newest victim of KP’s IM-style interviews; go read about his interaction with the Halo community over at Bungie.net. (Thanks to Schedonnardus for letting us know.)(Louis Wu 14:36:39 UTC)

Mister Froggy wrote to point out that Halo, Articulated #9 is online – the headless Barbie storyline continues. After a fashion.(Louis Wu 13:50:55 UTC)

Wow – it’s been a while since our last mention of Tied the Leader… but boy howdy is there a lot of new content there. (No, I don’t use that expression very often. No, I didn’t get it from the TTL crowd. It just seemed appropriate.) Interviews (2), Clan Profiles (2), link roundups for folks…

That quote from Chris Butcher just won’t die, even though Bungie addressed it in the most recent Bungie Weekly Update – but Stuntmutt shows why it might not matter so much in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 20:15:25 UTC)

Games in Action has kicked off ‘The Olympics of Halo’ – an online tourney. Swing by their forum for rules. Prize announcements coming later.(Louis Wu 19:18:35 UTC)

Wow – sorahn noticed a YouTube vid showing someone recreating the Master Chief in MS Paint. There’s something amazing about being able to create artwork that looks this good with a tool like Paint… (I could do without the soundtrack, though.) Update: here’s the second part of the drawing. Thanks, newDeviLedeT1.(Louis Wu 18:43:35 UTC)

Years ago, Mike Miller created ‘Legend’, and a followup, ‘Legend 2’ – these were basically Halo 1 campaign montages showing some really elegant gameplay at Legendary difficulty – the trick wasn’t so much the difficulty, but the style with which the gameplay was performed. He was good enough that we asked him to create a…

Paul Maestri wrote to point out Halo Heads 43 – what happens when someone you think doesn’t deserve it (as much as you do) gets access to the Halo 3 beta, and you don’t? Well, there’s always something you can take heart from…(Louis Wu 16:48:50 UTC)

GetOverITEnor found a cool film showing Center Grove (Indiana) High School’s entry in an Indoor Percussion competition in 2005 – it’s a drumline show featuring Halo music. Fantastic show! (As a side note, FancyShmancy inspired me to do some hunting on the last high school band vid we posted, last week – turns out it…

Obienator, who released ‘Gameplay May Change During Online Play’ last year (and garnered high praise for it), has released a teaser for the sequel, ‘The Haxor that Loved Me’ – you can watch it at YouTube from that forum post, or you can download higher-res versions. (Louis Wu 16:22:21 UTC)

Over at MLGPro.com, you’ll find a front-page-linked video of Fonzi, doing player match commentary; watch him discuss strategy over video of himself playing in tournament play. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 23:09:10 UTC)

Ducain has put together his ‘pie in the sky wishlist’ for Halo 3 single player; things he wishes would show up in the upcoming campaign. Give it a read – and let him know what you think (either as a comment to that HIH newspost, or in the thread he started on our forum).(Louis Wu…

Sigafoos writes to say that The Riot 33 has been posted – community news, Mandy Patinkin, and Equilibrium (the 2002 Sci-Fi movie). And stuff. 23 minutes, 10 mb.(Louis Wu 19:25:09 UTC)

RVideo has been panoraming again (yeah, I know it’s not a word) – this time, he jumped into a modded skin for Zanzibar, and got some spectacular sunset shots. Check ’em out!(Louis Wu 17:07:25 UTC)

Frankie stopped by the NeoGAF forum yesterday to state pretty definitively that the ‘new thing’ (mentioned in this week’s Bungie Weekly Update) is NOT video-related… which pretty much rules out flycams, spectator cams, and all the other variants that have been the frontrunners in the speculation threads on OUR forum, at least. Thanks, Drakkari.(Louis Wu…

QsKGlobal has overhauled their website, and they’re kicking off a new Montage contest – you’ve got about 6 months, and there’s currently $250 in the prize pool (though they’re hoping that will go up). Check it out!(Louis Wu 17:01:16 UTC)

Rockslider continues to document new and fun ways of fighting battles you’ve been through a thousand times. Check out his rejoined landing battle on Silent Cartographer.(Louis Wu 16:59:29 UTC)

Dojorkan grabbed a really nice image, and turned it into an icon. (You can see it textless, as well.) Perfect!(Louis Wu 16:56:50 UTC)

highwaters, who let us know last week about a suit of Mjolnir armor he’s been building, posted a movie yesterday showing that armor in use around town. If you have trouble with the MySpace vid in that first post, you can find a YouTube link in this post. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 16:46:55 UTC)
