That Old Familiar Pfheeling...
Bungie's Twitter feed reminds you that you can play the Marathon Trilogy on Windows, Mac, or Linux platforms, for FREE. If you need to get your Bob on, check it out! What are you waiting Pfhor? (GrimBrother One 19:43:02 UTC) (permalink)
Halo CE Chronicles - Fearless Chapter Thirteen
Dennis Powers sent word of the next chapter of Fearless - go read! (Louis Wu 18:19:32 UTC) (permalink)
Can you feel the lag tonight? (remix)
A few weeks ago, we pointed out a song written by ncsuDuncan and sung by Tomasooie - sound quality was the biggest lack. This bothered Photolysis, so he did something about it. And I hate Mediafire, so I've rehosted the final product (3.6 mb). It even comes with cover art! (Louis Wu 18:10:33 UTC) (permalink)
PCGR HCEA Special
Robowski sent word that the Post Game Carnage Report team just released a special HCEA-focused podcast - with a guest from Drunken Halo. Go listen!

Halo Fanon News
That Halo Fanon contest we mentioned a few days ago has gotten easier to enter. (Plus, you can vote for their Fourth Annual Halo Fanon awards while you're over there.) Read Grizzlei's post for details.

Mongrel Conception to Killer Assets
OXM UK posted an article that tries to nail down why Halo is more important than other Xbox shooters. Not sure I buy it all - but it's an interesting read. Thanks, ElzarTheBam.

Halo Bulletin - November 30
Last night, very late, the Halo Bulletin hit the web (thanks, ZaneZavin). Amidst tips to improve your Halo gaming experience and a photo montage of 343 employees participating in Movember, you'll find details of the changes set to come to Halo matchmaking next week. Warning: the overwhelming sentiment on our OWN forum is disappointment - you might find some of the changes surprising. This is, as always, available in our own Halo Bulletin Archive (with added features like real lists and such).

Achievement HORSE 51
The second match of the Rooster Teeth Office HORSE Semifinals was posted recently (AchievementHunter.com | YouTube) - Michael faced off against Marshall, who apparently has some Halo skillz he never admitted to. The competition goes all the way to round 9 - who's moving on to take on Kerry in the Finals? Watch and see! Thanks, hezekiah. (Louis Wu 15:34:19 UTC) (permalink)
A hint of things that might come
So Metalingus627 stopped in with a request for 343 - he wants to see the Battle of Earth given its due in fiction form. One of the responses to his thread came from Leviathan... who already had this idea, and may or may not actually follow through on it! (Even if he doesn't, the splash art is fantastic.)

Get Hammered
HC Redemption has a new challenge for you - this one is a part of the HC Community Challenge Series, and it features GrifballHub. The lower difficulties seem reasonable... but things get pretty tough near the top of the scale! Do you have what it takes? Go see!

Game Engine Development, from a Halo Vet
kornman00 let us know that Game Developer magazine's December issue has an interview with Bungie's Hao Chen - which led Hedgemony to point out a short but intriguing preview for that interview at Gamasutra. What have they learned about game engines from Halo - and how will that translate to their next (multiplatform) product? Check this out! (Louis Wu 15:23:23 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: Campaign Commander
Evil Otto stopped in with word of a Halo mod for Empire at War - it's a total conversion, including new models, effects, sounds, music, gameplay mechanics, and more. If you like what you see, voting for Mod of the Year is active! (Louis Wu 15:16:03 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Love Beans
SEspider put together a few Halo characters in a new style. Adorable!

Missing MC's Shoes
Frank O'Connor spoke to OXM UK recently - he was surprised by the love for Master Chief (to the point where folks were unhappy he wasn't in Reach). Thanks, ElzarTheBam. (Louis Wu 15:07:52 UTC) (permalink)
