We got word that DropShock has released Episode 7 – 360 shortages, strats, a new website, and a declaration of war. (I’d tell you more, but I can’t seem to actually download the episode… it’s been hung on ‘Starting’ for the last many minutes.) Go see if you can get your own copy!

rockslider keeps the Halo 1 campaign torch burning with a large expansion of his Tactics and Tips page for fighting the Covenant in the original Halo. Good stuff!

Missed this Friday, but 3Suns noticed it this morning – looks like Harry Knowles, of Ain’t It Cool News, is backing up the IESB story about Guillermo Del Toro talking about directing the Halo movie. Remember – this is NOT set in stone; some pretty big hurdles need to be overcome for this to work…

Foo Mo Jive points out that Podtacular Episode 35 has been released – Customs and Call-ins. He really enjoyed this one. 19.3 mb, 28 minutes.

Tyrian noticed a new weapon being developed by the US Air Force – dubbed the PHaSER, it actually just uses a laser system to temporarily blind an attacker. (It’s pretty huge for that job – but I guess over time it’ll shrink.) What made Tyrian send it to us was its Covenant-like lines. Fun stuff!

NFL246 (who goes by Wronchi on Newgrounds) has posted a parody of the Master Chief’s life in Flash format over there. It’s pretty long (more than 10 minutes), but has some funny moments. Although he announced it on our forum, he was beaten to the punch by spartan erik, who noticed it 9 hours earlier.

The UNSCDF guys have written up an article on the Covenant Beam Rifle. Go look.

MikeMan27 and Nefarious Dan have released their second montage, to pretty positive reviews – Mike credits his experience as a reviewer for the MPRRS for some of the polish in his work. It’s heavy on the effects, with great synching to the music. WMP9 format, 139 mb. Go grab a copy from Halo2Forum.com!

Tons of new material available at Halo: Portable – you’ll find translations of new articles (MLG Atlanta Reviews, Weekly Update), new wallpapers, a music pack, and a reposting of the Enkidu fan fiction, all formatted for your PSP. Swing on by! Thanks, Mintz.

Broken Console Productions’ The Squadron, Episode 12, is now up for the public; you can find the WMP9 version on their website, and I guess we’ve become the default host for the QuickTime version. (Both weigh in at a bit over 12 mb.) This ep has the humans fighting for their lives on Terminal -…

Red vs Blue Episode 68, ‘Getting All Misty’, has been released for sponsors. (That means it’ll be free for everyone tomorrow night or so.) I can’t tell whether I should be scared… or laugh my butt off. I guess I feel a little sorry for Tucker… but not really. Go watch! Thanks to Psychophan7 for…

We recently had an incident where someone attempted to submit footage from a montage video that didn’t belong to them to the MPRRS – this was caught by a reviewer, and deleted, but I wanted to remind EVERYONE out there: the percentage of the overall Halo community that reads HBO is pretty darned high… and…

The Weekly Upate has been posted over at Bungie.net – lots of stuff about the 360 (problems, and some solutions), plus a major Playlist update (read this if you care about your rank – don’t complain after the fact that you didn’t get to it), plus a little bit of Halo Movie stuff (no, nothing…

Pinkuh’s Lost the Lead comic finally has its own site – check it out! (Comments can go here.)

I nearly missed this – but the goodies on the table for the Child’s Play Fundraiser Dinner Auction, to be hosted by Penny Arcade on December 13, have been augmented by a number of items – one of which is an intriguingly-titled ‘Bungie Gift Pack’. There doesn’t seem to be anything more complete than that…

Stuntmutt shows off his knowledge of religious history trivia, and bad puns (was that ever in doubt?) in today’s One One Se7en.

Just six stories today in the Fan Fiction section. Slowdown?

Dyslexia’s written up Part 1 of his MLG Atlanta Review, over at MLGPro.com… powerful piece. Go read! Thanks, 3Suns.

A couple of bits from Z, over at Halo2Forum.com: There’s a new montage from ArKiVe (WMP9, 92 mb, lots and lots of fun sticks), and a new stats site has been launched: StatsReloaded.com. What this has that many existing sites don’t have is room for new members; they’re pretty sure they can handle 25,000 members…

LadyRziha posted a link to a site that sells die-cast warthogs… pretty cool-looking! Check ’em out. At $5 a pop, they’d make great stocking stuffers, wouldn’t they?
