Humpday: The Begrudged
This week Bungie took on a team of people Joe Tung holds a grudge against, for whatever reason. This just goes to show that if you cross the mighty Joe Tung, you’ll get a Humpday, so go do annoying things to him. I suggest bombarding him with XBL messages.

Bob
Dennis Powers writes to let us know that the third episode of Static is now online at the Halo CE Chronicles website. Alex is in trouble! It’s a good thing Bob’s a lousy shot… go check it out. 30+ mb in QuickTime or WMP9 formats (640×480), or 19 mb in streaming Flash format (320×240).(Louis Wu 21:48:39 UTC)

HALO 2 For 2
Paul Maestri, too, wishes Halo 2 a happy birthday – with a new episode of Halo Heads. (Trust me, guys – the rationale expressed in the second panel will NOT fly with your wives.)(Louis Wu 18:54:29 UTC)

Mr. Video Game Single Player
gold_leader pointed out this video at YouTube, which parodies the Bud Light ‘Real American Heroes’ ads, includes a Halo reference, and is quite funny. (Louis Wu 17:02:25 UTC)

Gaming is Work
An article at news.com.au focuses on Tom ‘Tsquared’ Taylor – and suggests that playing videogames professionally isn’t all fun and… well, games. Give it a read to see the rigors Tom is subjected to daily.(Louis Wu 16:54:13 UTC)

Halo in Drawn Together
Last week, a number of threads popped up in our forum about a Needler sighting on the comedy central cartoon ‘Drawn Together’ (here, here, and here). It seems that clip is now available on YouTube (thanks, Aaron Camp).(Louis Wu 16:50:43 UTC)

RT: The Road to Wellness
Burnie says he’s learning to deal with his Xbox Gamerscore addiction, but I’m not so sure. He spends a lot of time in the bathroom these days. He says he’s brushing his teeth, but I swear I can hear Gears of War in there, and when he comes out his toothbrush…

Is it a Spider?
Max (]-=ODST=-[ Epsilon) sent along a screenshot (3k) of a Gears of War achievement that pays tribute to Red vs Blue – Burnie mentioned this last week in his Red vs Blue journal, because they’re thinking about giving a cool prize to the first person to earn this achievement, but for those of us without a 360 (or a copy of Gears of War), now you can see it for yourself. Get tagging!(Louis Wu 16:20:22 UTC)

MLG TV Ads on YouTube
MMaster dropped by to let people know about three commercials filmed for the upcoming MLG TV season on USA – I’m not sure they’d make me watch, but they’re fun, anyway. Check his forum post, watch for yourself!(Louis Wu 16:05:28 UTC)

There’s Something About Halo 2
A few people pointed out that the full version of ‘There’s Something About Halo 2‘ is now available at Newgrounds – looks like Sane Intolerant was first. We mentioned one of the five parts of it a couple of weeks ago – but the whole thing is done now. Artwork is great, in all sections – humor is a bit more variable.(Louis Wu 16:03:37 UTC)

Stained Glass Halo
Tucker Barrie noticed a really nice looking Halo 3 stained glass window for sale on eBay – but you have to be able to pick it up in Buffalo, NY; the seller isn’t shipping. Starting bid is $500, you’ve got another day before the auction ends. This is definitely a unique piece!(Louis Wu 16:00:52 UTC)
