Dumbtarded.
KP has put up Bungie's side of the Halo Humpday Challenge story - and surprisingly enough, with the exception of a few nose-tweaks, he was pretty civil about the whole thing. No mention of the loss of their no-losing streak... but then, they really lost that last week, so I guess he's being even MORE gentlemanly about it all. Who'da thunk it? Congrats to the Halowiki guys. (Louis Wu 22:39:55 UTC) (permalink)
2old2play Over 40 Invitational Promo Vid
Interesting - there's a tournament run the 3rd Tuesday of every month (yes, that
means you missed the most recent one by two days) over at 2old2play - in order to enter, you must be at least 40 years old. jynxonline put together a really nice promo vid for it - swing by and watch it! (Man, a tourney where I'm the YOUNGEST player? I'm there.) From the date on the comments of this article, I'd guess this tourney's been going for 10 months now... thanks, 3Suns.

Making Movies
trigger119 wrote an article entitled 'Halo Machinima: Why do it?' - he looks at some of the motivations that drive filmmakers. As a jumping-off place for a discussion, this is worth a read. (Louis Wu 21:09:11 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Piano Transcription
Jayshum transcribed the piano part of the Halo 3 theme, heard in the trailer. You can find a lot of info in this forum post. (Louis Wu 21:05:10 UTC) (permalink)
Killed. To Dust.
The Halowiki.net crew played Bungie last night in this week's Halo Humpday Challenge - and no matter what you thought of last week's somewhat sleazy manner of 'not losing', there's no denying that this week the Bungie crew lost. Lost hard, even. Go read LegendaryMark's writeup at HaloWiki.net - KP's still nursing his wounds, it seems, so the Bungie writeup isn't online yet. (I've never heard of the 'cycling' respawn modifier - but it sounds nasty...) (Louis Wu 20:56:28 UTC) (permalink)
Filling in the Blanks
Finn awoke from his real-life 'slumber' to gather some gems from older Weekly Updates; they're not NEW bits, but they're bits nonetheless. You'll find this collection on the Halo Story Page. Now don't bother Finn any more - he's got work to do. (And not for us.) (Louis Wu 15:02:32 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: First Offensive
Farfalo stopped by to let us know about Halo: First Offensive, a mod for Star Wars: Empire at War. They've got a forum up (link is in the above post), if you want more info! (Louis Wu 13:31:51 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Bling
Yayap the Grunt let us know about a Halo 3 pendant he'd created; check out his work! (Louis Wu 13:29:17 UTC) (permalink)
nooby whacking - gg
New updates over at Tied the Leader; a piece on good sportsmanship, and a fun feel-good bit about Big Team Battle, and how nice it is to go in with a full team of 8. (If you find XerxdeeJ's stats in the included picture hard to believe... believe anyway. They're real.) Thanks to XerxdeeJ for popping into our forum for a heads-up.

Triggers Down Talks Tactics
MLG continues to look at the top teams in the ramp-up to MLG Chicago; the latest interview is with Triggers Down. Fun read - thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 13:03:49 UTC) (permalink)
Gamepro's Greatest Moments in Gaming
Gamepro has written up their idea of The 55 Greatest Moments in Gaming; Halo 2 takes 36, for a Berserker in multiplayer, and Halo pulls in #2, for the Maw run. Not too shabby! Thanks, Private Idaho. (Louis Wu 12:56:32 UTC) (permalink)
