Bootsman stopped by our forum to announce that the Team SWAT tournament they started up in June has come to an end – Invalid Mob took top prize, and went home with $200. Full details can be found on their forum.(Louis Wu 14:24:32 UTC)

3Suns noticed an article at 2Old2Play about their Top 10 FPS Weapons… the Halo 2 sword comes in at Number 6… but the original Halo pistol takes top honors. Go read the rest of the list!(Louis Wu 13:09:43 UTC)

So I got some email from a guy claiming to be the leader of Random Outburst Pro, taking us to task for hosting his videos without his permission. Seems someone submitted them to the MPRRS without his permission. He felt it was unacceptable that we didn’t crosscheck the submitting email address with the address listed…

Gawd, quick one I forgot from days ago, my bad. Funkmon pointed out on Wednesday night that Halo: Portable had posted mobile-ready versions of the Halo Wars trailer… I MEANT to post it, but spaced. If you need a copy for your PSP/Pocket PC/iPod, go by now! And that’s all from me for a while,…

Red vs Blue Season 5 has kicked off – Episode 78, ‘You Can’t Park Here’, is now out for sponsors, non-sponsors should be able to download it on Monday. Sometimes, when a series gets older, it gets tireder… no such worries here. I LOVED this ep. Teh Funni is everywhere. Looks like KP was first…

GameDaily has written up a review of Halo’s upcoming projects, and how they might all fit together. A bit too much speculation for my taste, but hey – it’s the internet, right?(Louis Wu 12:05:33 UTC)

Killer 047 announced a huge (30 minutes, more than 400 mb in hi-res format) tricking montage film. I haven’t had time to watch it (or download it, even)… but the forum post was pretty fancy. If you’ve got a large pipe, and a lot of time… check this out!(Louis Wu 11:53:20 UTC)

MediaPost takes a look at the newly announced Wingnut Interactive ventures from the viewpoint that movies are making less money than they used to, and moviemakers are looking to expand their audiences in other ways. Interesting take.(Louis Wu 11:49:44 UTC)

Some quick links your way, before this day gets out of hand here: Dolbex posted a long rant about how Bungie might be spread too thin at this point on his blog – and mentioned it on our forum. (The biggest assumption in his article that should be questioned is ‘Bungie is the only one…

The Bungie Weekly Update has been posted – summary of the rather large news out of Barcelona this week, plus a local (well, local for Bungie) spin, a cool cake, and zune photos. (What?) Yeah, go read. If you are scared of Bungie.net, there’s always our Weekly Update Archive.(Louis Wu 23:43:51 UTC)

Stuntmutt falls back on a tried and true poke in today’s One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 14:17:35 UTC)

Xboxyde also talked to Peter Jackson about his upcoming Halo stuff – if you were a little fuzzy about what he’s got planned, read this – you’ll probably get a little MORE fuzzy. Nonetheless, it’s an expansion on the ideas he expressed during the press conference, and who knows? Maybe your brain works better than…

Random Outburst Productions submitted the extensively-titled ‘OMEGA TEAM Volume: 1 Episode: 1 “A More Perfect Federation”‘ – it’s got an RvB vibe (right down to the censorable language). Pretty funny – the MPRRS said ‘yep’, so we’re offering you a WMP9 version (29.1 mb) or a Quicktime version (30.8 mb)… grab your favorite poison.(Louis Wu…

Xboxyde has posted a Q&A with Phil Spencer (GM of Microsoft Game Studios Publishing) and Dave Luehmann (GM of MGS Internal Developing) about Halo Wars, collected during X06. More than anything posted in the last three days, this makes me a little apprehensive… but read it for yourself. Maybe I’m just overreacting. Thanks to broony…

Dennis Powers stopped by to point out a teaser for Static, a new series from Halo CE Chronicles. Film style of the teaser is reminiscent of the Halo 3 trailer, and hints at a darker storyline than earlier HCEC work. Stay tuned!(Louis Wu 12:38:54 UTC)

Ten new stories today in the Fan Fiction section today. And you’re waiting for…?(Louis Wu 12:29:30 UTC)

Retsof-Noraa put together a small Grunt Flash Toon, hosted over at DeviantART… should bring a smile to your face.(Louis Wu 12:23:49 UTC)

ESKAY RULZ. That is all.(Louis Wu 12:16:12 UTC)

CanMag has written up a first look at Halo Wars, and what it might mean for the Halo franchise. (It echoes a lot of points made multiple times on our forum, but a forum post doesn’t get the same viewing audience, generally, as an article in a big online mag.) Go read.(Louis Wu 12:15:42 UTC)

A REAL Halo Humpday Challenge happened this week after all – offspring of Bungie employees came in and gave Bungie employees a whuppin’. That is – until KP showed up. The first game was a rout – the kids ruled. Games 2 and 3 were a bit different… and the difference wears a red cape,…
