Dodgeball – all the cool kids are playing it
Ragegummy, from The Social, let us know about a new gametype they’re promoting – it’s called ‘Dodgeball’. I’ve played a few different gametypes where the goal was to stick the opponent (including the Bungie Favorite ‘Nades and Spades’), and I love them… this one seems seriously polished. Check out the rules and guidelines – then download the files from B.net! (Louis Wu 16:07:35 UTC)

Halo Scale, Revisited
Yesterday, we got a note from Stephen Loftus – he’d used a tool pointed out on our forum to add some previously-unknown measurements to his Halo Scale Comparison charts. The UNSC Albatross Dropship has been added to the UNSC Vehicles page. Nice! (There might also be some new articles on the way, soon…)(Louis Wu 16:06:38 UTC)

Bungie interviews at B.net
I stumbled upon ‘Honoring Bungie‘, a group at Bungie.net that has done some interviews with Bungie personnel – there’s a three-parter with Luke Smith (Part One | Part Two | Part Three) and another three-parter with JonnyOThan (Part One | Part Two | Part Three). Go see what drove these guys to get jobs at Bungie, and what they’re doing now!(Louis Wu 16:05:33 UTC)

Most of these comics are grounded in some form of truth, but honestly, I don’t know if Jason has ever been on a date, let alone talked to a girl. dggeoff

The drunks are back for another week of burning bridges. Burn, bridges! Burn! The actor who played GTA IV’s Niko Bellic made $100,000 for 20 weeks of work over 15 months, but is upset that he is not being paid residuals on a game that made so…

I would be remiss in my duties if I didn’t bring today’s sponsor comic to your attention. Phew, no remissing here. That’s a relief. Ok, today’s comic is all about the hottest achievement trend: collecting shit in-game. I hear that Burnie is knee deep in…

The internet is amazing for many reasons, but my favorite has to be its immense power to embarrass. I think that gets glossed over a lot when people talk about how it’s changed our lives. Never before has it been so easy to make an ass out of yourself to…

TTL – Gaming GeeGaws for A Good Cause
Not completely Halo-related… but there are definitely Halo items here. Tied the Leader is running a Memorial Day Fundraising Auction, with all proceeds to benefit the Tied the Leader Foundation. Lots of cool stuff up for grabs – you probably have to be registered on their forum to see this stuff, but it’s worth it. Go look! (Louis Wu 17:29:31 UTC)

Show off your Halo Art
mrsmiley let us know that Halo Babies has now set up personal art galleries for all members – if you’re looking for a place to exhibit your Halo-related artwork, check ’em out! (You can probably use ’em for more than Halo art – but hey, we’re a Halo site, so that’s what we focus on.)(Louis Wu 16:53:37 UTC)

MLGPro.com has kicked off a new video series, the Stride Championship Series. This first episode is a match between Triggers Down and Fatal Images, with commentary by MLG’s Chris Puckett and Sundance DiGiovanni. Great match to watch – close to the finish!
