Next Generation posted an article last week entitled ‘Gaffes and Blunders in 2006’ – amidst snickers about the Phantom console, and flying Wii controllers, you’ll find, at Number 6, “When Hollywood Schemers Attack”, a shot at the Halo movie situation. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 16:42:36 UTC)

Two separate transcriptions of the Brute Vidoc appeared on our forum yesterday – RC Master posted a transcript of all the spoken content, and Darkninja90 posted a transcript of all the action (with comments). If you want to see if you missed anything, or if you want to see if the vidoc is worth downloading,…

We got word from trigger119 that GamingTV is holding a video intro contest – make them a cool intro, win stuff. More details are in this post at GTV!(Louis Wu 22:33:42 UTC)

There’s a news post further down the page with links to web versions of the Brute Vidoc – but I thought a separate note was warranted for 720p versions (1280×720). You can find them at both TeamXbox (WMP9, 232 mb – thanks, MasterChief2829) and GameVideos.com (WMP9, 478 mb, QuickTime, 577 mb – thanks, giga). High-res…

Mercury noticed an article at the Inquirer – looks like In-Fusio is suing Microsoft over Halo; the claim is that Microsoft is thwarting In-Fusio from developing the product, but demanding payment anyway. End result for us? No Halo on your cell phone, at least for now. Bummer!(Louis Wu 21:32:11 UTC)

Frankie has updated the news post from last night, which mentions the Brute Vidoc, to include a short question and answer session answering your most-asked questions. And he added in some great pics to try and distract you from the fact that he’s got no more screenshots for you. Go read!(Louis Wu 21:17:34 UTC)

Stuntmutt looks at a new form of Covenant attack in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 17:20:06 UTC)

Paul Maestri hasn’t had a chance to see the Brutes ViDoc yet – I think it might be getting to him. Check today’s Halo Heads.(Louis Wu 17:03:49 UTC)

For folks who don’t have a 360, or Xbox Live… the Halo 3 ViDoc ‘Et Tu, Brute?’ is available at millions of places across the web. (Well, okay, not millions. But a lot.) There are 640×360 versions at GameVideos.com (thanks, z77) and Xboxyde (thanks, Urk). There’s a 428×240 version at JeuxFrance (thanks, Xavier De Coster).…

Pavel Dolgov (we’ve mentioned him before) has created an 8×10 painting inspired by the Halo 3 ad – you can view it on eBay. The auction ends on December 29. If you like his work, remember that he takes commissions.(Louis Wu 15:34:19 UTC)

We’ve mentioned the Libertyville Halo performance a few times now (it first came up in September, and we posted a higher-quality recording a couple of weeks ago) – now there’s a video to go with the studio audio. Eastbeast314 found a version on YouTube, and DarkHelmet found it on Break.com. Go watch!(Louis Wu 15:30:50 UTC)

Over at MLGPro.com, you can watch Week 6 of the MLG Pro Circuit if you missed it on USA last weekend, and there’s an update for the MLG Online tourney. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 15:27:00 UTC)

Deekor sent word of a teaser for the upcoming Halo Outkatz series (stop by their website for more info). Mythica’s got a QuickTime link, and there’s a YouTube version. It’s very short – but it made me laugh. Give it a look!(Louis Wu 15:21:30 UTC)

The big news today is going to be the Brutes documentary released on Xbox Live Marketplace earlier this morning, and we’ll certainly get to that – but there’s a bunch of other Halo goodness that yearns to be free, as well. First up – trigger119 is hosting, over at GamingTV.org, a new vid from SodaGod,…

Bungie has posted information (TASTY information) about the new video documentary to be released soon – where ‘soon’ means ‘tonight at 2 am PST’. If you don’t have an Xbox 360 and access to Xbox Live Marketplace, don’t fret – there will be options, in the not-too-distant future, we promise. What will you see here?…

Dennis Powers sent word of ‘The Gift’, a Christmas story from your friends at the Halo CE Chronicles. Available in a number of formats – very pretty stuff. (Louis Wu 17:47:01 UTC)

Drakkari pointed out an interview with Certain Affinity’s Max Hoberman, who made a comment that might or might not have repercussions for yearning Halo gamers:I would hope that more games are headed in the direction that we’ve tried to blaze with Halo 2. I’ve seen the start of a trend in this direction, and I’ve…

XBWFeenix lets us know that the current EDGE magazine has got a new ‘Inside Bungie’ article, with (of course) a partial focus on Halo.(Louis Wu 15:59:02 UTC)

Tons of new content over at Tied the Leader this week – there’s a Halo 3 Top Ten list, a 22 Questions Interview with Gaming Horizon’s Shiva Stella (funny lady), a call for patience, a clan profile of Golden Alliance, and a reader’s poll, asking about the admirability of pro gamers. XerxdeeJ stopped by, as…

Very cool story over at 2old2play; it’s not Halo-related, but stories of hope from the gaming community should always be celebrated. Merry Christmas, JollyRoger (and Megan)! Thanks to Rick Casey for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 15:40:58 UTC)
