DPS Sundown sent word to remind everyone that the International Grifball League’s Grifgoose tournament (Grifball on Mongooses!) takes place tomorrow – are you signed up? There’s a new video showing you what gameplay can look like, more tourney info is here, and signups (if you haven’t done so yet) are here. (Louis Wu 23:47:18 UTC)

Firestorm12 let us know that War (or War) is at the end – and the final piece is a video, not a comic. Go watch! (Louis Wu 20:57:37 UTC)

DeeJ wants to give you free stuff. You like free stuff, right? Go read his new post at Bungie.net, then jump over to Bungie’s Facebook page and enter the competition to win Crimson: Steam Pirates for iPhone. How piratey can you make our favorite Gunslinger? Halcylon’s example pic is just plain delicious.(Louis Wu 20:05:32 UTC)

The newest Halo Bulletin went live yesterday – a little late, but hey, 343 were pretty busy this week! This one has lots of pics – pics from the launch events, concept art of the Anniversary maps, and more. Go read! It’s also in our local Halo Bulletin Archive, if you need it.(Louis Wu 13:04:27 UTC)

Samurai Fronk continues – Episode 2 of the latest season finally went live today. (JDQuackers apologizes for the delay – my guess is, he’s been playing Anniversary till his eyes bleed.)(Louis Wu 13:03:21 UTC)

Chris Neir let us know that there’s a new Halo Reach Tricks vid up – this one will show you how to survive indefinitely in Lone Wolf by basically escaping the level. KOBAYASHI MARU!(Louis Wu 13:01:43 UTC)

Dan Ayoub talked to PC World NZ about the launch of Halo Anniversary, and how it’s been shepherding the product to completion. Interesting read! (I think there are some Halo tricksters out there who would take issue with his “we didn’t fix any bugs” discussion… but for the most part, I think he’s got a pretty solid view of what they wanted, and what they got.)(Louis Wu 13:00:19 UTC)

There’s a single story for you this week in the Fan Fiction section – go read it! (There WERE two – but one submitter decided to reach the minimum word count by padding the piece with garbage – that’s a no-no!) (Louis Wu 12:59:56 UTC)

The Adventure Continues on iPod, iPhone, and iPad.

The Adventure Continues on iPod, iPhone, and iPad.

Firestream, the man behind Halocharts (and a number of other projects), has decided to shut down his site – timing is uncertain, but it will be offline in “no more than a few days to a week”. You can read the full story in the top news post on the front page – and if your enjoyment of Halo has benefitted from his programming over the past four years (as mine has), maybe drop a comment into the thread!(Louis Wu 21:46:22 UTC)

Gamereactor UK has an interview with Frank O’Connor – he talks about why he thinks Halo got so big, and where the franchise is going. Good stuff. Thanks, TheOddOne.(Louis Wu 18:54:04 UTC)

Here’s a blog post from a man who drowned the sorrows generated from his breakup in a suit of Spartan armor. Interesting read! Thanks, Hydranockz.(Louis Wu 18:49:54 UTC)

If you still read newspapers, you might have seen a mention of Halo in today’s Dustin – I found a copy on the website of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. I know I’ve had this discussion with my wife, more than once…(Louis Wu 18:20:53 UTC)
