Oleg stopped by our forum to point out his blog (it’s in french), which contains information about a set of spartan armor he’s building (follow the ‘Projet’ link in the navbar). Great start!(Louis Wu 16:19:02 UTC)

In the past couple of weeks, there’ve been a few debates about some oddly-dressed characters visible for a few seconds in the Behind The Scenes documentary. Stuntmutt lays their identity to rest in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 14:44:00 UTC)

Over at High Impact Halo, S.O.G. pointed out a scar on Miranda’s cheek that looks an awful lot like a ‘7’. Is this an easter egg? Unofficial word from Bungie: “maybe”. (Yeah, I found it unsatisfying, too.)(Louis Wu 14:31:48 UTC)

Captain Spark submitted another couple of dozen dialogue snippets – you can find them on his website, or browse them individually in our Dialogue Databank. Lots of the timid marine today!(Louis Wu 14:07:41 UTC)

MLG PwnCast has released episode 17 – it focuses on Anaheim, not surprisingly. 11:38 long, 13.4 mb (the ‘enhanced’ version is a third as big – I’m not sure I understand that). Go listen.(Louis Wu 13:07:56 UTC)

oriol003 suggested swinging by his article collection – there are quite a few of them, mostly looking at strategies or specific weapons. Text suffers from the Block of Doom syndrome (no line breaks), but there’s some interesting content there. Take a look!(Louis Wu 12:52:54 UTC)

Yesterday, Bungie took on the Xbox MVP group in their weekly Humpday Challenge… and for the first time in a long time, they came out on top. The writeup is notably harsh… methinks there’s some good-natured ribbin’ going on in there. Takeaway message from this set? Don’t let Frankie pick the gametypes.(Louis Wu 20:59:47 UTC)

Charliez, a RedvsBlue community member, sent along this link to Hallo, a new comic that will be coming out every Sunday. Cortana installs Vista…(Louis Wu 14:17:05 UTC)

Over at Halo Planet, I read about another Halo Armor effort – check out LinkProductions (go to ‘Props’, then ‘Halo Props’; there’s a full outfit, plus plasma and human pistols. (This is the same plasma pistol as we saw on eBay a few months ago. At that point, I hadn’t realized there was more that…

There’s a preview of the upcoming 4v4 action at MLG Anaheim posted on the MLGPro.com website – go read about the top teams! Thanks, KP.(Louis Wu 14:03:01 UTC)

There’s a great rant by Ducain over at High Impact Halo, taking moviemakers to task for not staying focused. He’s specifically talking about trick vids, but his words are equally applicable to other categories of films; I don’t even want to think about all the times I’ve suggested that someone re-edit their video footage (to…

Last week, there was a minor ruckus over some Halo content in the cover of a science fiction novel. Stuntmutt weighs in in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 18:00:10 UTC)

spartanerik posted a link to a Newgrounds-based Halo vs Counter-Strike Flash. Go look.(Louis Wu 17:56:56 UTC)

TraitorJoe (who has submitted a lot of music transcriptions to Rampancy.net under the name Poop Scoop) stopped by our forum last night to point out a video of his high school orchestra performing Earth City (from the Halo 2 Soundtrack, Volume 1). Great stuff – we’re mirroring the WMP9 version (28 mb) and providing a…

Bungie’s hiring again! Check out the Top Story on Bungie.net, and their Jobs page, for details on the newest Halo 3-related positions… and send ’em your resume!(Louis Wu 17:31:06 UTC)

Wow. Over at Gamasutra, there’s a story about the new deals signed by MLG with the top Halo players – Team Final Boss and individual Tsquared; each of the five players involved will be paid a quarter of a million dollars to play exclusively in MLG competitions. Walshy’s comment is great:”Three years ago I never…
