It's always 'Blame Stosh' - where does it end?
Another Friday night, and I ain't got nobody, I got an update cause I... man, sometimes I shouldn't have alcohol with dinner. Swing by Bungie.net for the latest Bungie Weekly Update - crowing, interviews with playtesters, a funky screenshot, details about the Mythic Screenshot contest that WAY too many of you entered... and more. Go read! (You're welcome to use our Weekly Update Archive for that task.) (Louis Wu 23:39:35 UTC) (permalink)

SIP - Helping with Annuals since... well, a while.
Need your Annual Achievement, but can't find three friends who have the time to run through it with you? The Spartan 1 Project is here to help.

The Gophers Want You!
The Halo 3 Gophers have kicked off a new website - and are hosting a Forge contest to celebrate. Swing by and check 'em out - and if you like to play with Forge, take a look at the contest. The best multiflag Sandbox variant wins either Microsoft Points or an action figure. You've got until the end of the month to submit. (Louis Wu 16:15:39 UTC) (permalink) 
Halo Wars HD Cutscenes (from Infectionist.com)
HaLo2FrEeEk posted a meaty monster in our forum - it contains links to all the Halo Wars cutscenes, downloadable in both SD and HD, in both WMP9 and QuickTime. In fact, he's put so much work into this, we didn't feel like we couldn't offer a permanent page for these videos. (We're not hosting them; we're halo.bungie.org, after all... but they're beautiful, and they're Halo-related, and the quality is up to the standards of the rest of our cutscenes.) Swing by our Cutscene Library for easy (and easy to find) access to all of these. (Be sure to stop by his site, Infectionist.com, for other goodies and a fun community!)

A really short comic list today - all we've got for you is 2501 Episode 50 (thanks, urk) and Reclaimer Episode 183 (thanks, TTL Demag0gue). Guess it's gonna be a small cup of coffee... (Louis Wu 12:19:04 UTC) (permalink) 
LEGO Bionicle: Jackal
retinence whipped out a brand-new Halo-related Bionicle - this one's a Jackal. Extra pictures here. Where's my carbine? (Louis Wu 12:18:38 UTC) (permalink) 
Colors
GeneticSpartan dropped by with word of 'Colors', a Halo music vid he made based on the song by Kira Willey. Works well - very mellow! (Looks like Hawty McBloggy liked it too.)

Mindless Intentions Ep3: Martyrdom
RogueDarkJedi stopped in with word of Mindless Intentions Episode 3: Martyrdom. It looks at what might happen if a couple of the most popular XBL games were merged... I think my head might explode. (Louis Wu 11:43:01 UTC) (permalink)

Dunh dunh dunuh dun dun dun duh...
Halo0001 X sent word of Mandlbaum in: "White Bomb" [Part 3 of 3] - it's a tribute to all those "so bad they're good" movies from 20 or 30 years ago that you stumble across while you're channel-surf, and then find yourself strangely unable to turn off. Starts a little slow... but it definitely picks up. Makes me want to go find some Starsky and Hutch episodes...
