I’m very, very happy this morning. Why? Because over at Gamefaqs, they’re running a ‘Best.Series.Ever’ contest, with two series pairing off each day, and being voted on by their members – and yesterday, Halo lost its first-round battle, with Castlevania. I was really hoping it would lose (which is why this news post is going…

c0ld vengeance grabbed a really nice 3D shot of the atmospheric processing station hologram visible at the start of the ‘The Perfect Plan in the Perfect Storm’ chapter of the Oracle level – check it out in regular QT or QTVR formats in this forum post. Beautiful timing!(Louis Wu 13:08:43 UTC)

Pinkuh’s been busy – yesterday she posted an adorable celebration of Bungie Day, and this morning she graced us with an anime version of Miranda Keyes; we’ve added both images to her gallery page here (Bungie Day | Anime Keyes). Great work!(Louis Wu 12:22:52 UTC)

I didn’t want to front-page this without permission from MMaster – but a few days ago, when we posted his remake of the All-American Rejects music vid, I took a few minutes and composited MMaster’s version with the original, just to give folks a sense for how closely he tried to match his source material.…

GotFrag has scores up from the first few rounds of the WSVG Intel Summer Championships, as well as seeding for the final round. As they mention, Final Boss didn’t show here, so no matter WHO wins, there’s no way to claim total superiority. More gaming this weekend!(Louis Wu 12:15:14 UTC)

WikiRiot releases Episode 6 – there’s a special interview at the end. 11 mb, half an hour long. Go listen! Thanks, Sigafoos.(Louis Wu 12:04:59 UTC)

It’s not the first time this song has been used in a Halo video (I think our own Cybrfrk gets that credit), but it’s a pretty funny movie in its own right – swing by Halo3Forum.com and grab a copy of Muhna Muhna (77 mb, WMP9 format) – it should make you smile.(Louis Wu 12:00:11…

Late, but hey… it’s Friday. A few hours ago, Frankie posted the Bungie Weekly Update – not a lot to say, except that the Halo Graphic Novel is actually done (w00t!), and a really cool pic from it has been posted. Well, there’s a little more. Go read. (Or read it here, in our Weekly…

Halo CE News Item One: Tallon IV, a map created by the Metroid Online Mapping Team, has been released; you can play as Metroid, complete with built-in arm cannon. Grab it from HaloMaps.org. Halo CE News Item Two: Rob Oplawar has started work on a new Halo CE Campaign level; you can check out the…

Bungie took note of things that didn’t work in Halo, and came up with alternatives in Halo 2. Stuntmutt comments on one such alternative in today’s One One Se7en. Groan protectors – ON!(Louis Wu 13:00:59 UTC)

16 new pieces (stories and poems) up in the Fan Fiction section today; two would have been deleted, but I thought they might help submitters remember that the formatting pseudocode is case-sensitive. Enjoy!(Louis Wu 12:24:59 UTC)

c0ld vengeance has ANOTHER 3d screenshot for you today; this one shows the 7 Halos from the hologram at the end of Great Journey. The standard QT movie lets you spin around them, while the QTVR version gives you a great view from any angle. QuickTime required, and be patient – this one’s a bit…

Just Passing By noticed a small writeup of RvB in the New York Daily News – pretty mainstream stuff!(Louis Wu 04:09:02 UTC)

This week’s Halo Humpday Challenge was against the Cayote Cavegirls – if you don’t know who they are, the writeup starts off with an interview of their lader [sic]. The overall result – a tie, no matter how KP tries to spin it; this brings Bungie’s not-losing streak to 3. (Of course, their winning streak…

Over at Bungie.net, there’s a news story about a Wallpaper contest; it’s not specifically geared to Halo, but I’m guessing the majority of the entries will be Halo-related. (Small) cash prizes available for the winners – read the post (and the linked forum thread) for more details.(Louis Wu 03:41:16 UTC)

I don’t normally reiterate stuff that’s written in FAQs around the site, but I’ve been getting an awful lot of mail about this one, so I’m going to make a public statement: we’re really sorry, we don’t have space to announce new Halo websites on our front page. If you just put the finishing touches…

Early this week, MMaster stopped by our forum to post a link to a new video he’d created; it’s an exact remake of ‘Move Along’, a video from the All-American Rejects. (This is different from Clan 0kinawa’s remake of that same video.) He submitted the video to the MPRRS, too – and it’s good he…

It’s been a little while (okay, 3 months) since our last 7 on the 7th Contest – but hey, somebody’s got to watch for aliens! So now it’s summer (at least in the northern hemisphere), and thoughts turn to the outdoors – so what better way to give away Bungie shwag than to require creative…

c0ld vengeance continues with his 3D Screenshots series – this time, it’s Cortana, looking on as the Master Chief sticks a Brute. Sweet! Available both as a QuickTime rotating vid, or a QTVR file. Take a look!(Louis Wu 15:38:42 UTC)

Podtacular has some new updates – Episode 70 is up (looks at community desires for Halo 3, and other games Halo fans play), Pod TV Episode 3 is up (Humpday highlights), and a new official comic called Weekly Porridge is online. (Apparently, it’s been around for a while; there are a bunch of episodes up…
