20K want to play INXS
Heh – remember a week or two ago, when we mentioned that the next Game With Fame event on Xbox Live would be with members of the band INXS? According to this article in the Vancouver Sun, more than 20,000 people have signed up in hopes of snagging one of the 100 slots available. Wow!

If it’s Saturday, it must be Art
Another art update – this one from Dillo, who points out first Etoli’s DeviantART gallery (Etoli is a regular at the Halo Babies site), and then points out a number of her own new works. Nice stuff!

Sorath, and a plea.
Pinkuh, as well, posted another piece of work (which we’ve added to her gallery) – this one is not g-rated. It’s a new species of the Covenant – one with a single purpose. Where does she come up with this stuff? (Pinkuh has a pretty major problem right now – her computer is dying. If she’s going to be able to continue to create artwork, she’s going to need to buy a new one – but she has no money. If you would like to help her, she’s got a PayPal link up in this forum post.)

The Fall of Earth
I ran across this Flash animation at Newgrounds when reading a RedvsBlue member’s journal. Earth is under attack by Covenant forces. And we don’t do so good.

More Elnea Art
Elnea sent along a new avatar for her gallery here – lordsmurph looks rather graceful with that flag!

Info on Muckle Halo stuff
Phil Shiel hunted down the website for Muckle Mannequins – the folks who make those resin sculptures that come up for sale on eBay every once in a while. It’s all framed – but if you start at the home page, and follow the ‘Quick Menu’ at the bottom right to ‘Halo 2’, you’ll get the chance to see a couple of nice pics (labeled ‘seite 1′ and seite 2’). Looks like the life-sized version is even cooler than the small one!

It’s Friday the 13th? That explains a lot…
The latest Bungie Weekly Update was posted a couple of hours ago – they’re hiring, there’s some cool stuff about the audio team, and there’s new schwag coming out. And oh, yeah… a naked mister chief. Sort of. You can find this in our local BWU archive, as well. I haven’t been to the forum yet, but I’d bet Frankie was first with this. Update: It’s also available for your PSP, over at Halo: Portable… thanks, Mintz!

Killer Grunts – Win a copy of DOA4
We’re proud to announce the first in a series of bungie.org/Bungie.net contests – Killer Grunts. (Bungie.net is involved only in the sense that they’re providing the goodies you can win – so don’t bug ’em if you’re unhappy with the situation. Blame us.) The contest is simple: put together some box art for a (fictional) Halo-related fighting game, submit it, and wait for the Halo community to tell you how much it rocks. More details, as though you’d actually need them, can be found on the official Killer Grunts Contest Page. We’re going to do our best to give you lots of chances to win cool stuff like this in the upcoming weeks and months – so stick around!

eBay Goodies going to Good Homes
Phil Shiel sent us a pic of the Master Chief Resin Statue (228K) he bought off eBay a few days ago – it’s the one we mentioned here. Looks awesome next to the high-end TV equipment he plays Halo 2 on! (I guess we’re doing some decent advertising for eBay sellers; the M6D replica we mentioned a few days ago was snatched up by one of our favorite artists, Elnea.

Stubbs Demo on OXM Disc
Jefu Kune points out that the Stubbs the Zombie demo (for Xbox) can be found on the current cover DVD for the Official Xbox Magazine. (We mentioned the Mac and PC demos a few days ago.) You can now try this Halo-engined game on whatever platform you prefer!

MLG Noob Guide
Very cool – over at MLG, you’ll find A Newcomers Guide to Halo 2 at MLG – Part I. This is a great intro to MLG-standard weapons, and basic strats for them. Nice! Thanks, 3Suns.

Be a star! Submit stuff for Podtacular
Can you believe it’s Friday already? Well it’s about that time, and we’re looking for more cool stuff to talk about. I know we have 2 more shows to release this week (we’re working on it!) but it’s time to start rounding up the topics for next week.
Teach the world how to pwn n00bs on Ivory Tower
Got a tip for ivory tower? Know a good assault/ctf strat, a good jumping spot, a good hiding spot, a good combo, a good slayer routine? Let us know! Just post in the comments of this article. If it’s good, we’ll put your tip on the show and announce your gamertag for the world to hear!
What if you could influence the features in Halo 3?
We can’t promise you anything, but who knows, if you come up with a really good idea and Bungie hears about it, maybe it could be incorporated into the game! If nothing else, it’s fun to speculate. So let us know your wishlist for Halo 3 and we’ll put it on the podcast waves or whatever.
And the winner is…
People last week sent in their favorite games other than Halo. A few of them people mentioned were:
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (1 or 2)
- Elder Scrolls: Morrowind
- Animal Crossing (GC or DS)
- Grand Theft Auto (any of them)
- Star Wars Battlefront 2
- Battlefield 2
If this were the Podtacular non-Halo game awards, which one would you pick? Why? Just email us or post in the comments.
Reporting for Podtacular
Do you know a pro gamer or how to get in touch with one? Know Frankie’s barber? Got a cool event to cover? Some interesting news? An interview with someone that’s Halo related, however tenuous the connection? Record it and send it in! If we like it, we’ll put it on a show.
But wait, there’s more!
We’re also looking for your stories, general tips, n00b tips, custom games, web resources and other cool stuff that might do well on Podtacular. So get to work everyone! Deadline is Saturday Night.

Black Bandaids and Peanut Butter Blood
The Bungie Humpday Challenge was back yesterday – even though it wasn’t Humpday, they weren’t playing Halo, and in fact they weren’t even playing anyone outside of Bungie Studios. The writeup’s pretty funny, though, so go read it! Frankie was first – as usual. Cheater. (The contest he mentioned will be made public later today, so stay tuned.)
