Wait... there are Stosh nudes around?
A new Know Your Ninja has gone live at Bungie.net. This one isn't Halo-related at all... but The Slayer DOES work at keeping the Bungie.net forums clean, so you can swing by and read about him. (I think we'll institute a new policy, from here on out; Average Joes and Ninjas profiled on B.net will only be covered here if the interview has Halo content.)

What The French - Episode 4
Sirkan let us know that Halo.fr has posted the fourth episode of "What the French" - a new collection of mishaps, bloopers, and wtf moments from French players. Just under 6 minutes. Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:49:54 UTC) (permalink)
Out of Work Spartan, Episode 0
What do you do if you're a Spartan without a job? Well, you put together a resume, of course! Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 16:46:06 UTC) (permalink)
Barrels O' Fun - A Halo 3 Trick Jumping Montage
The Bungie Blog has highlighted another trick jumping montage - this one from Jump Theory's KillerxJake. Lots of fun flying on Last Resort, Guardian, and Blackout. (Louis Wu 16:41:53 UTC) (permalink)
Lame or Game does Halo
Most Fridays, Hawty McBloggy, Hawty McBloggy puts up a Halo-related picture and asks fans to caption it. It looks like for the month of May, the website LameOrGame.com is doing this every day. (They've got a tool that lets you add your caption right to the pic, a la lolcats.) As Dennis Powers mentions, most of what's up there now is seriously LAME... but you can play their GAME and add your own. Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:23:04 UTC) (permalink)
Facebook with Guns
If you're into social networking, there are plenty of choices these days - the Facebook Nation has more citizens than Brazil, Twitter lets you describe your activity in real time. These aren't really aimed at gamers, though. Even a site like Rooster Teeth (where I spend most of my social networking time), while oriented towards gamers, is more about bringing gamers together with shared interests (not necessarily related to games) than about providing gamers with a place to organize gaming. Enter The Hive Project. Built from the ground up by a bunch of long-time Halo fans (and Halo fansite veterans), this site is designed to give you, as a gamer, a way to hook up with other gamers. You can form groups that others can join - and since each group has its own private forum, The Hive Project can work as free clan hosting. Advertise your latest event, share your favorite photos, write up a blog post, interact with others just like you. They've just kicked off an Open Beta - swing by and sign up, and see what they've got to offer! (Louis Wu 15:18:44 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Hyrule
Kotaku's got news of a Halo CE map that recreates Hyrule, from the Zelda series. If you're jonesin' for a bit of nostalgia, check it out! Thanks to GrimBrother One for noticing. Update: Dennis Powers let us know that folks can download the beta map from Halomaps.org. (Louis Wu 12:31:51 UTC) (permalink)
I'd still buy a plushie...
ScrewAttack put together a list of the Top 10 Video Game Punks. (They didn't actually call them 'punks', actually, but we'll let you watch it for yourself.) Our favorite methane-breathing Covenant minion makes the list. Probably not safe for work, for language. Thanks, MffnMn. (Louis Wu 12:31:04 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Fails Episode 18
Chris10023 let us know that Halo 3 Fails Episode 18 is now up - it's sort of fun trying to guess the name of the fails. (I liked 'Dodge the Corpse Fail'.) Three and a half minutes of things not to do in Halo...

Gaming Ink: Halo Edition
Binge Gamer has posted an article about Halo tattoos - some we've seen before, some are new. Interesting collection! (Louis Wu 12:29:58 UTC) (permalink)
Cool Websites About Games
Smashing Magazine did a survey last summer of game site web design - and the Halo Believe site is used as a prime example of the 'Flash Interactive Site'. The whole thing is a pretty good read, if you're interested in stuff like this! Thanks, RingWorld07. (Louis Wu 12:28:03 UTC) (permalink)
