Heh – this is one of the reasons I like this community so much. Cody Miller resurrected an older post from DanteThePoet, about gender usage in Halo 2… and the resultant thread is actually pretty highbrow, given the potential for crude humor. If you’re interested in how women are portrayed in Halo 2, you might…

rapture wrote up his own version of the Undead JANLAN 2007 event last weekend (the one Mintz went to only to get a front-page mention for) – comments can go either after the story itself, or in response to his forum post.(Louis Wu 15:01:15 UTC)

Tons of new stuff at MLGPro.com – you’ll find Player Match Commentary from Strongside (it’s currently the default video), plus Part II and Part III of the 2006 Halo Retrospective, plus the Division I Quarterfinal Wrap-up. That should keep you busy… (Louis Wu 14:54:27 UTC)

Over at Bungie.net, you’ll find a detailed summary of the M274 ULATV “Mongoose” – a vehicle we’ve all heard about, but very few have seen in action. What it can do, when you should use it, when you should get your butt off one… it’s all in there. Great read!(Louis Wu 00:33:18 UTC)

I have no idea how this happened, but when I checked last weekend, I noticed that the Wallpapers section hadn’t been updated in over 3 months. !!! During this time, Bungie released the Halo 3 Ad, providing wallpaper creators with a WEALTH of material, it seems – there are 75 distinct new entries in the…

KP was recently interviewed on the Podtacular podcast – it’s long and rambling, but there’s some fun stuff in there! Go listen.(Louis Wu 22:05:19 UTC)

Shacknews posted a Halo 2 Vista multiplayer impressions article from someone who got to play during CES – good read! Thanks to rapture, who let us know by writing this up at H2Vista.(Louis Wu 20:08:09 UTC)

Paul Maestri is on a comic kick – Cat in the Hat, Part II is the latest Halo Heads. How could you NOT like a comic about exploding cats? (Note: they don’t really explode.)(Louis Wu 18:55:48 UTC)

Stuntmutt takes a shot (crack?) at one of the possible routes into the Halo 3 beta in today’s One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 17:50:36 UTC)

Sigafoos stopped by to point out that voting has opened for the 2006 Community Awards from The Riot. Stop by and toss in your two cents!(Louis Wu 14:21:33 UTC)

Bader found a truly bizarre entry over at IMDb; Jason Jones, the Jason Jones that co-founded Bungie, is credited with work as Cecil the Puppet for the TV series ‘Mother Goose and Friends’. Now, IMDb has been known to contain mistakes, and Jason Jones is a pretty common name (there are 15 of them at…

Deekor posted a note about Halo Outkastz Episode 2 – for me, it didn’t live up to the potential of earlier work, but watch it and decide for yourself!(Louis Wu 14:12:15 UTC)

MLG’s got a wrapup of the Round one competition in their Division One Online Tournament. Go see who’s on top! Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 14:10:56 UTC)

When the Legendary Edition of Halo 3 was first announced, someone in our forum asked if the helmet would be wearable. KP answered “yes, if your head is very small… and rectangular.” Paul Maestri came up with another possibility, in today’s Halo Heads.(Louis Wu 19:49:06 UTC)

More local art – Luke McKay whipped up another RvB comic, this one looking at the end of the most recent episode. Some minor artistic liberties taken.(Louis Wu 19:04:49 UTC)

In the last few days, Pinkuh has whipped up a pair of new images; the first is a tattoo design for Frag Qu33n, the second is a self-portrait… as a furry, in Mjolnir armor. (Well, sort of.) Safe for work… mostly.(Louis Wu 17:05:36 UTC)

LANwhore Mintz attended his second major LAN in two weeks recently – you can find the writeup of this original Halo experience at the Hushed Casket. (Congrats to Frankie, who ALSO made it to his second community LAN in two weeks – the man’s racking up frequent flyer miles like they’re Halo 3 medals.)(Louis Wu…

Mister Froggy pointed out that Halo, Articulated Episode 3, ‘Don’t Talk to Strangers’, is now up for viewing. Explains a few things about the Covenant heirarchy…(Louis Wu 14:51:04 UTC)

IGN has a story about a DirecTV/IGN partnership to bring you the Championship Gaming Series, an international gaming league. Looks like videogames on TV is an idea whose time has come… thanks, Neloms.(Louis Wu 14:45:51 UTC)

Over at Bungie.net, the third question in the Halo 2 Vista FAQ pretty much puts the kibosh on the idea that H2Vista players will be able to play cross-platform with Halo 2 Xbox players. So when Robbie Bach came out during the CES Keynote this week and mentioned that Halo 2 would be cross-platform, Halo…
