Nexus Beat sends word of a new tournament site – they’re starting with Halo and Halo 2, but they’ll be adding others down the road. Wasabi 360 has already gotten going with a 2v2 MLG-style tourney that’s pretty close to capacity – go check it out!

Over at Podtacular.com, you’ll find Episode 33 – where the talk ranges from 360 madness to halo 2 on the 360 to the latest news from the Halo community. 19.3 mb, 21 minutes. Go listen! Thanks, Foo Mo Jive.

Last week, Red vs Blue appeared on ‘Total Request Live’, an MTV program. The team was interviewed about how the series is put together, and for fun they created a video involving TRL’s host. That video is now available for download for sponsors – it should be up for everyone in the next day or…

Stuntmutt explains why you should always know who you’re talking to, in today’s One One Se7en.

Eight new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today. Burn off some turkey calories by reading!

Man, I HATE rumors. I hate ’em because they travel around the net, and they take on a life of their own, and by the time they get back to you a second time, they’re fact, in the eyes of many who read them. I’m posting this because I want to make it clear that…

The guys over at UNSCDF have put up a new article… about a weapon that gets a half-sentence mention in Fall of Reach. It covers the HMG-38, an outmoded machine gun now in use by pirates. (I guess this should be classified as Fan Fiction?) Comments can go here.

MLG Atlanta has wrapped up, and you can find info at both MLGPro.com (full bracket info is here) and Team3D.net (roundup, focusing on Team3D of course, is here – thanks, FI3ND). Congrats to Ogre2, who took the FFA tourney, and Team3D, who dominated the 4v4 race.

We don’t normally keep track of the ups and downs of Halo-related websites around the net… but The Library was a pretty formidable resource that has been offline for quite some time. It’s back – thanks Psyrixx!

The third and last segment of Crossfire’s Hell Quarters, ‘Blood Spilled Redemption’, passed the MPRRS this afternoon – you can grab it in WMP9 format (61.6 mb) or QuickTime format (64.3 mb). Dark and moody, this segment uses music powerfully to keep the atmosphere mysterious, and to keep you guessing until the end. Very, very…

A couple of days ago, Atsumi posted a link to a LiveJournal entry with some comparison shots of Halo playing on an Xbox and a 360. Even though the Xbox shots were taken through an S-Video connection and the 360 shots were taken through standard composite video cables, you can see the improvements in color,…

Rico’s House of Halo has been a part of the Halo scene for a long time – we first mentioned them almost 4 years ago, when the Battle of the Bay went off. (The original Rocket Dance video, much copied, came from that fest.) In today’s Napa Valley Register, they’re in the news again -…

Ed Chipman points out an article at Xbox365 that might just save your sanity, if you’ve got an Xbox360 and you’re having trouble playing Halo 2 online. Apparently, the ability to play Xbox games on live on a 360 is NOT the default setup, and the toggle isn’t the easiest thing to find.

Z writes to point out Titan VIII’s Montage 4 (there was a preview back in September, but this is the finished product). Production value is quite high; great syncing between music and action, and some really nice editing work. The cuts are a bit too fast for my taste (it’s really hard to actually APPRECIATE…

3Suns has been scouring the MLGPro.com website for content – and has found a bunch of articles that haven’t been mentioned here, and, in fact, are very difficult to navigate to through MLG’s site… so you may have missed them. The current Player of the Week is Karma – but past spotlights have focused on…

Mintz writes to point out a bunch of new content at Halo: Portable – articles from MLGPro.com, Bungie.net, Gamertag Radio, and even Mintz’s own story of getting an Xbox360 (originally posted on our forum). You’ll also find a nice pack of Edgen’s Halo MP3s, for when you’d rather use your ears than your eyes. Go…

UNSCDF points out some Halo Trading Cards being created by Zertuche and friends – you can find them on the original site (it’s Freewebs, so it’s likely going to be down after this announcement) or on UNSCDF’s site.

GotFrag has put up a story about MLG Atlanta, otherwise known as Halo50k4, which kicked off last night – an interesting question; if Team3D, which steamrolled over the competition in Singapore at the World Cyber Games, doesn’t win here this weekend, what will it say about international competitors… and about competitions in general? Go read.

There’s a new Halo Babies strip up at Halobabies.net – a look at one of the real hazards of Thanksgiving. While you’re there, check out the Halo Babies store – HB gear and goodies. (That framed print ROCKS.)

Bungie recently agreed not to remove the Big Team Battle playlist, even though it’s the least-played playlist up. Stuntmutt puts his own twist on the situation in today’s One One Se7en.
