Heh – today’s Press Start to Play is pretty funny – though it could legitimately be said to contain Halo 2 spoilers. Thanks, Half left.(Louis Wu 13:11:32 UTC)

New content at Dead Man’s Hand
Dweezle wrote to let us know about new content at Dead Man’s Hand; there’s a discussion about glitches, and whether they should be exploited or not, there’s an interview with Xbox.com’s TriXie (no Halo content, but it’s a fun read), and there’s a rant about cheating. Give it a look! (And if you’re a writer, with an interest in games… drop Dweezle a line (contact info is in the right column of the blog), he’s looking for you!)(Louis Wu 12:21:11 UTC)

Watch those Rockets.
This week’s Halo Humpday Challenge was played against the Blood Gulch Regulars – a last-minute matchup that ended in Bungie’s favor. (Maybe they should schedule ALL their matches at the last minute!) The one thing I learned from the writeup is not to talk smack about KP’s mom. Overall, though, it sounded like a lot of fun, on both sides – go read about it! Father Hartley was first on our forum with the news.(Louis Wu 12:05:43 UTC)

Eric Nylund is NOT working on Bungie’s next title.
Eric Nylund wrote to squash some rumors that have been floating around; You might have seen the note at SPOnG today that speculated that a new, non-Halo Bungie title would be announced at X06 in Barcelona in September. This came hot on the heels of the pickup of a small tidbit from a Nylund blog post a couple of weeks ago (CVG wrote it up here, SPOnG discussed it here – I can’t explain why these sites are two weeks behind on this one)… and lots of forums began putting these bits together. Bungie’s announcing a new non-Halo title… Nylund, who has a history with Bungie, is working on a new Microsoft title; you can see where the gears started spinning. Stop ’em now; Nylund’s newest project has nothing whatsoever to do with Bungie. That’s straight from the horse’s mouth (well, Nylund’s, anyway – not really nice to call him a horse). Now we just gotta figure out if the SPOnG rumors about X06 are true!(Louis Wu 03:04:42 UTC)

Lost: Halostyle E 6 – The Average Journey Part 1
The MPRRS reviewers have definitely turned up the heat on review times; in short order, the queue has dropped from almost 20 to nearly empty. (There are 5 videos in the queue that are about to be finished, which will drop the queue size to a single movie.) Another passing vid – Episode 6 of ‘Lost: Halo Style’, from Injured Knee Productions. Cinematography, overall production values, and story polish all continue to improve as new episodes are made; this one’s quite good. (If you haven’t seen older ones, we’re hosting episodes 4 and 5, and episodes 1-3 are available at ikproductions.net.) Grab this latest episode, weighing in at just under 48 mb, in either WMP9 or QuickTime formats. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 15:40:46 UTC)

Submit your questions for Matt from Red vs. Blue!
I’ll be interviewing Matt from RvB on August 9th, and he agreed to open up the questions to you, the community. So now’s your chance to ask RvB anything you like. Keep in mind I’ll already be covering the basics including how they got started and what RvB’s all about. Beyond that, it’s all you. I won’t be asking him if he likes waffles or anything, so keep it relevant. Just post your questions in the comments of this article and if it’s a good one, I’ll pass it on.
