Wow. Xbox Australia is selling that huge, huge Halo 2 Coke sign that hung in King’s Cross – the auction goes live next week, and the proceeds benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation. More details can be found in Frankie’s writeup on B.net. Thanks to Vironex for pointing it out.

Yes, it’s true – you can get a taste for how low the current One One Se7en sinks simply by perusing the title. Methinks Stuntmutt has been drinking heavily recently…

imSuck put together a very pretty webring you can use for your homepage – or just for navigating to most of the large Halo sites out there. There are a couple of community forum threads you can join in if you feel the need to comment (HIH and HaloGrid)… but check it out in any…

A couple of days ago, Slacker Entertainment posted a new clip for their Heroes & Heretics series; the Opening Credits are now up. It’s just credits… but the production value is highhighhigh. I can’t WAIT for ep 1! (Music is original, and quite good; these guys know what they’re doing, across the board.) Check it…

In honor of yesterday’s Superbowl, Veegie put this little beauty together – and retsamolah reminded us of an older pic he did. (I didn’t have a favorite going into the game – I haven’t had time to watch any football this year – but I have to say, whoever’s job it was in the Steelers…

Heh – this is pretty funny. Flash, just over 6 minutes long. Thanks, Caz.

Laird points out that a Halo machinima which sort of disappeared for a while is back; swing by Echo Zulu Films for the first part of the Three Long Minutes trilogy. Filmed with HaloCE, this is a nice teaser for the series. 16.1 mb, WMP9 format.

Pretty darned quiet weekend; we’ve heard about very little Halo news (which, I suppose, is a good thing when the weekend workload is as big as it is this weekend). Dropshock wrote yesterday to point out that Episode 10 of their podcast has been released; swing by their site to grab a copy. And then…

Mintz writes to point out that Halo: Portable (with a new URL) has a few new items for you; there’s the Weekly Updates for the last couple of weeks, and a shot at the new Wallpaper pack early (just donate something). Go grab your mobile Halo content!

SPARTAN-034 reminded me that I’d forgotten to post the weekly Fan Fiction update yesterday (probably because he had a story in the batch) – they’re up now. 22 pieces – go read!

Almost a month ago, Teek Vander Bee sent us a bunch of pictures of a ceramic Elite helmet he’d been building – apologies for taking so long to post them. You can find them on this page.

3Suns points out that MLG has announced the location (and dates) of their National Championships this year – they’ll be in New York City on February 25 and 26. Book your plane fare now!

Frankie’s posted the Weekly Update (and once again frustrated forum denizens longing to out-First him). There’s a bunch of useful answers to questions asked on our forum (and elsewhere), and NEW WALLPAPERS at b.net (breathtaking – you gotta go look, and thank agdTinMan). And titillating information about how the Bungie Princess plans to spend her…

Eep! I almost forgot to post today’s One One Se7en. (Maybe it would have been better if I did, though…) Brits will definitely get this one faster than Americans.

Yesterday, we posted the second episode of blackouTT’s Legendary machinima series – but he was pretty unhappy with a few things. (Audio sync was off, for one… and at least one transition was missed.) He sent us a new copy of the film, which we’ve uploaded – the links in yesterday’s news post will bring…

Z, over at Halo2Forum, points out a rather bizarre little glitch; I suppose it COULD be faked, but it doesn’t look like it. It’s not very big (under 6 mb, wmp9 format), so go grab it, and see if you’ve ever seen this before.

Podtacular is back on a once-a-week rotation – and they’ve got a new website, to boot. Go grab Episode 48! Thanks, Foo Mo Jive.

Jamie98s has made a series of videos detailing the beauty of Halo’s scenery. (Check our news archives if you missed the first three.) Yesterday, he submitted a new one – Oh So Beautiful 4 sticks with multiplayer maps… gives you a new perspective on the killing fields we spend so much time in. The MPRRS…

Over at Rampancy.net, there’s a pretty interesting writeup of Stubbs the Zombie; Narcogen is eloquent in his defense of Stubbs as a fun game, and one that is underappreciated in several key areas. It’s the first part of a longer piece, and it uses Halo as a benchmark, in some cases, to judge against -…

Wow. A couple of weeks ago, we pointed out the DeviantART gallery of lhs – today, MattKnight01 noticed a new image in that gallery. That’s one heckuva gun!
