Coolness. GameJunkieJim put together a Bungie Crossword Puzzle – go test yourself. Thanks, Masta Chef.

Dennis Powers writes to point out that Part 8 of the Valley of the Forerunners is now available for download on the Halo CE Chronicles website. 8:17 long, available in WMP9, QuickTime, and streaming Flash, this part shows Harrington and the Marines a little more about what they’re up against. If you’ve wondered why some…

Spartan Jag noticed a bunch of new content at the Halouvre – there’s stuff from Major.Dump and stuff from a new artist, Hikaru. Take a look!

Another imSuck movie made it through the MPRRS yesterday – this one is called ’10 ways to tell if you’re a noob’, and it combines (as usual) great editing with entertaining commentary on various noobish activities. Grab a copy in either WMP9 format (45.9 mb) or QuickTime format (47.5 mb).

Holy Pro Gaming, Batman! I should check my mail before I post news. There was an email from 3Suns with a TON more MLG links; we’ve got press releases about new sponsorship deals (specifically Boost Mobile and Scion Auto), and we’ve got a new Player of the Week article (this one focuses on Mack). Go…

Apologies for the news blackout; connection from this hotel is MUCH more difficult than I’d expected. Let’s start with some MLG news – Pieter Kok pointed out that MLG is about to launch a television show; you can find links to more info on MLG’s site. Pretty cool stuff!

Stuntmutt shows that he’s happy to hit religion as hard as he hits the English language in today’s One One Se7en – being posted a few hours earlier than usual because it’s not clear how much online time I’ll be getting before Monday night.

Just a quick note – the submission deadline for the 7 on the 7th contest has come and gone; it’s all over but the judging. We received more than 250 submissions for this contest – there are a LOT of you who want a shot at a free signed soundtrack! What’s probably going to happen…

Mothergoat released a followup to the MPD vid that hit the Halo scene a month and a half ago. Vanilla Ice got NUTHIN’ on this white boy. You gotta watch this, even if you hate rap. Cause it’s hilarious. Just over 50 mb, in WMP9 format (see Mutha G’s forum post for a download link)…

Stephen Loftus has released a couple of new images of his ‘In Amber Clad’ scratchbuilt model – we’ve added them (and his descriptive text) to his progress page here at HBO. Check it out – fiber-optic lighting looks pretty slick!

TheGhost has moved his pretty amazing collection of links to HaloCE tutorials to a permanent home at Halomaps.org, courtesy of Dennis Powers – swing by for links to every fan-created tutorial related to content creation for Halo: Custom Edition you can think of! There’ve been a number of significant updates to this project since we…

The First Contact Half-Life 2 mod has released a large group of renders – go check out everything from vehicles to characters in their image gallery (the news post is here). Thanks to AngelicLionheart and xJayx for the heads-up(s)!

Stuntmutt mentions an update to his blog a couple of days ago – pictures, movies, guest strips… what more could you want? (Don’t answer that.) Go read!

Over at Team3D.net, F13ND sat down with Saiyan to talk about the upcoming MLG season opener, and the upcoming season. Go read!

SIRBOE created a really amazing-looking Halo sword (you gotta take a close look at the handle), and sent us a bunch of pics. At first glance, there are a lot of dupes – but he wanted to get a bunch of different angles to show you all the details. (For each pic, there are a…

Mostly from Psychophan7. Egg-lovin’, Halo-fan style.

Funky. Bloody Grunt and Black Sky Productions are putting together ‘Endurance Halo’ – fourteen players will face off in smaller and smaller teams, until only one from each team remains; finally, until only one remains. The entire thing will be filmed, and cut into an ‘unscripted combat gameshow’. It won’t be happening until this summer,…

Slacker Entertainment has posted Heroes & Heretics Flashback 4: Short Circuit. In Episode 3, you met the Helots – unaugmented soldiers wearing modified Spartan armor. Except for getting killed a lot, they seemed like a competent bunch… but Short Circuit tells a different story. A significantly more entertaining one. And I LOVE the medic. Swing…

Very nice – Hypersoldier has put up a Mjolnir Armor basic drawing guide over at LiveJournal. Give it a read! Thanks, HavokBlue.

We missed this, but back in December, corpseguy posted a note on the HaloPlanet forums about a full Master Chief suit he’s building (we’ve got a record of the helmets he’s been working on, but we missed the suit post). He came back yesterday, because he’s interested in using the suit in a live action…
