Okay, first off – we’ve got a new movie for you. It’s from Jamie98s, and it’s called Space Dementia, and it’s really quite good. Jack Walters thinks he’s ready for active duty again – but all may not be as it seems. Great effects, astoundingly high compression (so that a 15 minute 640×480 movie weighs…

Over at the Red vs Blue website, OboeCrazy posted a new vid (you won’t be able to read that without an RvB account) – It’s a realization of the Barenaked Ladies song ‘Bank Job’, in the Halo engine. She took a great song, and made it live – it’s a beautiful job. I have one…

Jonathan Rivas noticed another batch of new stuff at the Bungie Store – you can grab an H3 Laser Etched Microfiber Fleece Jacket for $50, and a ‘No Scope to the Dome’ long-sleeved T for $18. The Halo Graphic Novel and the Art of Halo books are both back in stock. What are you waiting…

This came in yesterday, but I forgot to post it. Over at the website for the Fox affiliate in Houston, there’s an article about a doctor who’s used input from gamers to design a better sort of radiation treatment system for cancer patients – in his words, they’ve gone from “a shot gun, where we…

The Weekly Update went up at Bungie a couple of hours ago. In it you’ll find taunting comments about Halo 3 online (Bungie/MS only for now), info about the commercial coming Monday, tidbits about what’s happening in the studio right now, and apologies for the loss of Team SWAT. Read it at Bungie.net – or…

You might think, from the title of today’s One One Se7en, that it pokes fun at Nintendo’s newest console. You’d be vastly overestimating Stuntmutt’s maturity level, though…(Louis Wu 16:26:31 UTC)

You can find an interview with Karma over at MLGPro.com – go read about the guy who walked away from the Las Vegas championship with almost $40,000 in his pocket (not bad for a weekend’s work!). Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 15:36:17 UTC)

LordGideon and friends have kicked off a new site, called ‘Halo Everywhere’. The premise is simple: insert Halo content into everything you see.

Earlier this evening, while some of us were out gallivanting around irresponsibly, KP was keeping down the number of international heart attacks, by clarifying a point about the upcoming Halo 3 beta that was incorrectly stated in today’s MS Press Release – this beta will be open to people all around the world, not just…

We’re still waiting for confirmation from Bungie on some of the more controversial pieces of this… but a Microsoft press release sent out this morning suggests that the Halo 3 beta next spring will be limited to North America, and that it will NOT be all-inclusive.Beginning Monday, Dec. 4, by visiting http://www.halo3.com, gamers in North…

If you visit live.xbox.com, you can see what the people on your Friends List are doing, if they’re online. There were some odd entries this morning, from a couple of Bungie employees… now I’m nearly 100% certain that nobody’s actually putting time into building a Pimps at Sea game, fun as it might be -…

Whoa. Over at Bungie.net, you’ll find a screenshot from the upcoming Halo 3 ad, airing this Monday night on ESPN. If you don’t have access to ESPN, you’ll be able to see a 720p version on Xbox Live Marketplace soon after. (If you don’t have a 360, I’m certain a version will be on YouTube…

Over at the Halo CE Chronicles website, the final episode of Static has been posted – Alex gets clear of the Hunter, finally, and a surprise twist makes lots of things clear. It’s double-size – 60 mb in downloadable WMP9 or QT, 36 mb in streaming Flash format. Nice end to the story! (Louis Wu…

Dojorkan found a pretty fun pic.(Louis Wu 23:07:48 UTC)

Not long ago, we released Pie Chapters 1 and 2, from Machine Enema – both were fantastic examples of Halo machinima. Recently sodaGoD completed Pestilence, set in the same universe as the Pie stories, but on a different tack. As before, cinematography is excellent, storyline is strong, voice acting is top-notch. I loved this film.…
