Paul Maestri writes to point out Halo Heads 5 – he looks at the new character on the Ghosts of Onyx cover. We still don’t know who that guy is… but Paul takes a shot at it.(Louis Wu 18:58:41 UTC)

Today’s One One Se7en looks at the Halogen situation. It’s good to laugh. Next time we’ll use someone other than Stuntmutt.(Louis Wu 16:52:03 UTC)

Captain Spark turned in another 26 dialogue snippets for your perusal – you can grab them at his (newly-overhauled) website, or browse them individually in our Dialogue Databank.(Louis Wu 15:17:41 UTC)

It’s been known for a while that Jackal snippets are created from reversed audio (as Halo 1 Elite snippets were) – but decoding them has been a bit more difficult than the Elites were, because they’re more tweaked. RVideo took a shot at 6 of them – did a great job, too. (His post contains…

Luke McKay whipped up a new piece of art this morning – someone should set this to music. He posted it to his RvB image collection – we’ve added it to his gallery here.(Louis Wu 12:14:19 UTC)

Dustbunny27 stopped by to point out that there’s a bunch of Halo-related stuff over in his DeviantART gallery – a cel shaded look with MS Paint, and lots of pixel art. Check it out!(Louis Wu 12:00:41 UTC)

A bunch of friends put together a pretty cool entry for their high school talent show… great video game music (primarily from Halo). Even Marty liked it! Go watch. Thanks, Eastbeast314.(Louis Wu 21:09:04 UTC)

Sigafoos points out WikiRiot Episode 15 – Gestor, Barbie, and matchmaking – what more could you want? 40 minutes, 16 mb.(Louis Wu 21:08:44 UTC)

Havoc737903 wrote to say he has another batch of Halo action figures for sale on eBay. Six figures, current bid is $5, auction ends in 6 and a half days. Check it out.(Louis Wu 21:07:18 UTC)

The introduction of fantabulous Halo tourneys continues to creep into our living room (I know, slightly redundant!). If you have DirecTV, you can catch a free preview on channel 101 this weekend. Halo 2 is one of 5 different tourney’s being showcased. I wonder if they can pull it off? Color me interested! Noticed at…

MaritalBlaze54 continues his series of music videos – this time out it’s Soul Survivor, by Akon and Young Jeezy, and it tells the story of a pair of drug dealers jumped by an enemy gang. The MPRRS liked it, so we’re hosting it. WMP9 format is 56.4 mb, QuickTime format is 55.6 mb.(Louis Wu 14:42:02…

A couple of days ago, a Halo fan from China posted a bunch of pictures over at High Impact Halo. They don’t normally post news about fan creations – so Amaroq shot us a heads-up, and I contacted the artist. He gave me permission to put these pics up here, in a format that might…

KSP SRT and |X|POOHBEAR|X| put together a dual montage – the MPRRS liked it a lot, and with good reason; solid gameplay and nice timing. Lots of BR action, lots of great grenade placement, plenty of multisnipes. 7 and a half minutes long, just over 100 mb in either WMP9 or QuickTime format – go…

It’s not particularly Halo-related – but we mentioned the workshop a couple of weeks ago, so a followup seems in order. Gamasutra has a writeup of the Comedy in Games panel at the Game Writers Conference held recently. Matt Soell had quite a lot to say in it. Go read! Thanks to Narcogen, over at…

Mister Froggy decided not to wait for Joyride to release a Half-Jaw action figure… he made one himself. Check out the details in this forum post.(Louis Wu 14:05:48 UTC)

BJB found a Sunday at Ten episode that gives Rules of Etiquette for Halo 2 LANs. Good stuff.(Louis Wu 13:59:28 UTC)

It’s been a busy few days; there’ve been some recent forum tidbits that got glossed over, but are worth a look. First up: Pixellated stumbled across a site devoted to lenticular clouds that contained an image that was really familiar! (Unfortunately, the larger version on the original site is no longer there.)(Louis Wu 13:54:35 UTC)

Over at IGN, there are a pair of new interviews – Frankie and SketchFactor in one, Lorraine and Robert McLees in the other. I haven’t had time to watch these yet (and won’t before this afternoon), but there’s almost certainly tasty information available for fans here. These are downloadable for IGN Insiders, streamable for everyone…

We’ve been reporting on Halogen, the Halo total conversion for C&C Generals, since we first got word of it in August, 2003. Today, however, the news isn’t so good – they’ve received a Cease and Desist order from Microsoft; the mod is being shut down. (Bungie’s been making noise about stuff like this for a…

The Bungie Weekly Update is out – and it’s pretty darned meaty this time around. There’s a great interview with Eric Nylund, mostly about what got him into this whole Halo novel-writing gig in the first place… and there’s spectacular Lorraine McLees cover art from the upcoming Ghosts of Onyx novel (including some armor that…
