Halo in your Hometown
ICDedPpl is hosting a new contest - Photoshop Halo into a real-life picture, win cool schwag. (Okay, you don't need to use Photoshop - any image editor will do, including MS Paint. But the Halo part has to be there.) Go read all the details - including the $250+ in prizes - over at his website. Get cracking - submissions are due by March 4! (Louis Wu 10:28:21 UTC)

117 Degrees.
Sorry - I actually had to change the title, because using odd characters messes up the RSS feeds of this site, and then I get mail from the most rabid among you. Go read today's One One Se7en to see what really bugs Stuntmutt. (Louis Wu 15:02:38 UTC)

mrsmiley, Thai food, and Cat-Bats
I didn't think I'd be here for this... but I am, so I'm posting it. The Weekly What's Update has been posted over at B.net - and as you'd expect today, the top question has to do with a Halo movie. Bungie's answer? "We don't know nuthin'." Other goodies involve what they had to do to keep your game stats, some shilling for the Matt Soell interview we mentioned recently, a 'no plans' answer for Halo 2 PC, a cheap shot at my home state (watch it, Frankie), a bunch of other stuff, and a Gorey-esque Mister Chief.

Stubbin' it
Looks like the coverage of Stubbs the Zombie, the first title from Wideload Games (expected next summer and based on the Halo engine, justifying its presence here) is heating up again. Alex Seropian talked to 1Up.com via AIM - nice tidbits about the enhancements they've added to the engine, things like stealth and multicharacter animation, plus general background on the company - thanks, wideloadgames.org. And our very own Miguel Chavez scored some choice content himself, and then shot it over to mnemesis for posting on Bungie Sightings. Lots and lots of good info, including 3 new screenshots. Go read!

Obscuring your view
Halo Story Page got another update this morning; three theories see the light of day. What don't we know about Miranda Keyes? What's going on on High Charity? and who were the Forerunners, really? Go read. (Louis Wu 15:47:21 UTC)

Fear of Matt Soell
Two bits over at Halo Babies this morning... there's your standard Friday strip, 'Fear of Change' - which takes a light-hearted shot at fans and their need for instant gratification - and a great interview with Matt Soell, former Community Guy at Bungie and now working at Wideload Games. Matt's always had a way with words; I'm glad to see it hasn't left him. ("In the meantime, our own web plan percolates slowly to the surface, like a dinosaur fart in a tar pit.") If you weren't part of the community when Matt was around, go read this; the community is as dedicated as it is because people like Matt were there to feed it. (Louis Wu 13:47:26 UTC)

(More) MLG News
Dolbex, in an attempt to coopt our front page, sends along the THIRD piece of MLG news for the day; The MLG Houston tournament dates have changed (it will now take place on March 11-13, with registration opening soon), and the MLG San Francisco event (February 26th and 27th) has opened its doors for registration. Go read! (Louis Wu 19:33:51 UTC)

My Little pwny.
GRAH! I'm an idiot. Yesterday's One One Se7en followed Tuesday's Outskirts on Legendary Walkthrough release SO beautifully... but I forgot to post it on time. Wow - it's been a while since i screwed THAT up. Go read it now, though. It's funny. (Louis Wu 14:38:32 UTC)

News Roundup
There's a bunch of Halo 2 news that popped up last night, too... again, I doubt this is a comprehensive list, but it should lighten the mailbox just a little.
- MLG posted a writeup of the DC event that took place last weekend; thanks to Dyslexia for the text, and Dolbex for the heads-up. This contains a very nice counter-argument to the folks who yell that Halo 2 is for noobs... and lots and lots of great pics. Full bracket standings are also there.
- G4TechTV has posted a 'Halo 2 Tips, Tricks, and Strategies' article, a somewhat random collection of stuff. Fun read.
- TalkXbox has posted Week Twelve of their Strategy series - Burial Grounds Team Slayer. (Thanks, TricKy.)
- Another bit over at MLGPro.com - Grudge Matches Begin. This is sort of like Bungie's Halo Humpday Challenges... except it's 1v1, and the COMMUNITY decides who fights, not the players. Go read about it.
- Arizona State University's school paper has a story about how it's not a contradiction for a church group to organize a gathering around Halo 2. (This one turned up on Google, but ICDedPpl found the same thing at a different link.)
Again, there's probably plenty more out there today... but this makes a dent. (Louis Wu 14:27:33 UTC)

On the Outskirts of New Mombasa
For those waiting breathlessly... it's Tuesday, so it's time for another chapter of Mike Miller's Legendary Walkthrough. This one looks at Outskirts... and the bane of Legendary in general - jackal snipers. Go read, go watch. (8 new movies.) (Louis Wu 17:58:53 UTC)

Who's SuperHansumRob, anyway?
Yesterday evening, Bungie posted its Weekly What's Update - a recap of what's considered cheating, some vague info about downloadable content, an explanation of why the Zombie gametype can't be added to the Matchmaking playlists, a bunch of basic stuff... and proof that better graphic tools will NOT make you a better artist. Go read. First heads-up goes to DiscipleN2k on our forum. (Louis Wu 12:52:32 UTC)

A Wagnerian sense of pomp and bombast
Wonga. Another 'Work at Bungie' article is up - this one covering Marty O'Donnell, Audio Artiste Extraordinaire (yeah, I've used something like that before... Hi, Matt!). Frankie asks Marty lots of questions, gets a few answers. Go read! (Louis Wu 02:38:11 UTC)

A Crack Team of Monkeys
Hehe - looks like the Bungie Boyz managed to find a team they could beat. This week's Halo Humpday Challenge was against Tips & Tricks Magazine... and the final score was 3-0, Bungie. (The first two games were relatively close, however.) You gotta wonder a little about the fable... go read. (Louis Wu 22:44:26 UTC)

Cheating - in black and white
Yesterday, Bungie posted a new Cheating FAQ, a collection of information about what constitutes cheating, what doesn't, and what happens to cheaters. If you're at all curious about whether that trick you're exploiting will get you into trouble in the long run, or whether the team that just beat you by stealing the flag from under your nose 3 times in 2 minutes will ever be punished... you should read this. Amusingly, just a day before, some moron chose to cheat in a Team Skirmish game that contained... bentllama. (How dumb do you have to be to cheat against a well-known Bungie employee?) Go read llama's description of the event... and maybe start a pool with some buddies on how fast this guy's gonna end up banned. (Certainly faster than if he cheated against, say, you...)

Of Prophets, and Hunters, and Numbers, and Stuff
OMG Finn's not dead OMG! Big ol' update over at the Halo Story page today. Some of this is old stuff to forum regulars, some is not. There's definitely some grist for the speculation mill! Go read. (Don't forget to check out Jillybean's addition from last week; it was just a single tidbit, so I forgot to post news about it... but it's definitely thought-provoking!) (Louis Wu 16:36:36 UTC)

Rise of the Machines
The Red vs Blue crew is at the Sundance Film Festival this week... and the Salt Lake Tribune has found them interesting enough to warrant a feature. A nice general overview... go read! (They see a million downloads a week? That's... um, like 25 or 30 terabytes or so. Gah.) Thanks, ICDedPpl. (Louis Wu 16:33:03 UTC)

Critical Thinking
Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, felt disgusted enough by the reaction of the school board decision in Puyallup to block a Halo 2 tournament that would benefit tsunami victims that he's written a retort. It's interesting to see WHY he's annoyed... it's not the action, it's the reasons BEHIND the action, and what those reasons might lead to. Go read. Update: Looks like there's some funkiness in Rampancy's code at the moment; if you try to read it without being logged in, you'll get a php error. The solution is simple: visit Rampancy's front page, and log in first. (Louis Wu 14:56:47 UTC)

Racing pigs ridden by monkey jockeys
The Weekly What's Update has finally been posted over at Bungie.net... Frankie sounds a little harried. It's got some fun info - lots on cheating (and how they chose who to ban), info on why it's as short as it is (something to do with the Bungie Pentathlon... sounds like Frankie's team might be losing), a few other tidbits. Go read! (Louis Wu 23:30:57 UTC)

Them Geezers - they write a lot
3Suns noticed a whole bunch of content over at the Geezer Gamers' site, related to the recent Halo Humpday Challenge they participated in. They're all linked from the current front page, but in case things change, here's what we've got:
- Bungie Challenge: Geezer Point of View
- Video from the Humpday Challenge (great stuff - but the big one is REALLY big)
- Geezers Take On Bungie - Humpday Challenge
- Geezer Spotlight Part 1 on Monk
- Geezer Spotlight Part 2 on Monk
- Geezer Gamers Make it to Bungie.net
Go read, go watch - good stuff all around! Update Whoops! almost before I got the thing posted, the video's been pulled. :( Sorry, folks. Go read the rest of the stuff. (Louis Wu 00:04:39 UTC)

Talking to the Tricksters
Ducain has interviewed Ms. Man, a trickster of some repute. It's a fun chat - a look at what makes him tick, what keeps him going (kept him going, I guess - sounds like his Halo days are nearly over), why tricking is so addictive. Go read! (Louis Wu 22:30:49 UTC)
