It’s been a little while since we added an artist to our Gallery pages – but today, we’re proud to announce a new home for Veegie’s Halo-related artwork. Veegie likes to render stuff – but he does a sizeable amount of 2D work on the result; what you see, often, is a Halo image that…

Wow, totally forgot about this… but today marks the 8th birthday of Bungie.org! Man, that’s like… 3 centuries in internet time! Thanks to Vid Boi for the reminder.(Louis Wu 21:48:45 UTC)

Red vs Blue Episode 87, ‘The Nesting Theory’, is now available for download by Sponsors – Red’s still looking for Sarge, Blue is still trying to keep Tex from being homicidal. Should be up for the public by Monday. Thanks, BigVariable.(Louis Wu 13:56:55 UTC)

MLGPro.com has an interview with Str8 Rippin up – they talk about their successes, and what they can improve on. Nice read. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 13:52:57 UTC)

We got a note from Micah Brooke, at machinima.com, about a new contest they’re running; submit your best kills from your favorite video games, win cold, hard cash. You’ve got a couple of weeks – and Halo is only one of a myriad of options… top prize is $1000. Check out all the details on…

Mister Froggy has posted the second episode of his Halo, Articulated comic – this one takes a shot at one of the more annoying moments in Halo 2.(Louis Wu 02:41:03 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update is available now at Bungie.net – more info about the Halo 3 beta program (mostly reassurances), plus progress reports, a job opening, and the hairiest looking Mister Chief ever. As always, if you can’t read it at Bungie.net, you can read it in our Weekly Update Archive.(Louis Wu 02:36:49 UTC)

Stuntmutt has his own take on the Friends and Family program mentioned last week by Frankie – check today’s One One Se7en for details.(Louis Wu 16:43:38 UTC)

Twelve new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today – go read!(Louis Wu 16:13:35 UTC)

Must be the day for Halo comics – ActionTrip has a new strip up today with a Halo theme, looking at ways to get into the Halo 3 beta. Heh.(Louis Wu 15:38:53 UTC)

TheShadyGnome points out that a recent Dueling Analogs strip pays homage to both Halo and the new year.(Louis Wu 15:37:32 UTC)

FyreWulff was the first (but not, by far, the only) to notice that Matt Cassamina (Editor in Chief of IGNcube) posted a story in his blog about playing Halo on a Nintendo DS. Is it true? Hard to say, I guess – we’ll wait for official word from Bungie, I think, but many of the…

More Mii stuff – check Gamingbits for yet another Master Chief Mii (among a lot of others). Thanks, wheeler.(Louis Wu 15:27:27 UTC)

Spartan Jag found a pair of interesting Halo auctions on eBay – first is a replica Pistol, and second is a Spartan helmet (not to be used for paintballing, apparently). The pistol auction ends tonight, but you’ve got a few days left on the helmet.(Louis Wu 15:03:31 UTC)

Jamie98s posted a note on our forum about a new music video he’d created, ‘We Become Silhouettes’, about a survivor of a nuclear blast coming to grips with the death around him. Fantastic effects and filming; this is the sort of thing music videos should aspire to. He posted a mythica link to a WMP9…

The LANfest that took place here last week has now been written up on Bungie.net – KP got a little hyperbolic, but there are some great pics. I’d said the last time I’d posted about this LAN that I’d summarize the rest of the writeups at a later date – this seems like a fine…

Over at GameTrailers, you’ll find a trailer, along with the first of three full episodes, of a Behind the Scenes documentary about Video Games Live. This is only peripherally Halo-related, in that Halo is one of the pieces played during the concert, but it’s pretty interesting if you were ever curious about how these guys…

Jay “Ling Ling” Marrero writes to point out a pair of Halo 2 tourneys sponsored by the PGL at Otronicon v2.0 in Orlando, FL, coming up the weekend of January 13/14. Registration is $15 (with a paid Otronicon entrance), and the first place prize for each event is $1000 (with a bunch of other stuff…

JeBr0nie noticed a new website called dashboardthemes.com; it’s the first place I’ve seen that contains screenshots of all the Halo-related 360 Dashboard themes out there. (It contains a lot more than that, of course – but this is a Halo site, after all.) You can see all three Halo 3 themes there, as well as…

Several days ago, Major Nelson posted the Top Live Games of 2006 – broken out into 360 games, Arcade games, and Original Xbox games. There’s no combined list, but the way it’s written, quite a number of the people commenting on the post are assuming that MN is saying that Gears of War (the top…
