Month: January 2002

While on the subject of the Psyjnir Complex… seems they’ve got a new comics storyline started. Take a look in their Comics section…

Psyrixx, of the Psyjnir Complex, has graciously offered to host the newest Halo music video – you can grab it from the Complex’s Hotline server. (Again, if you don’t have a Hotline client, grab one (they’re free) from BigRedH.) Thanks, Psyrixx! (Other mirror offers gratefully accepted as well, of course.)

Whoa – Halo in Counter-Strike… nearly there! Check out the images of strykerwolf’s latest work in this forum post. I just… wow.

The music videos keep coming in… this time, we have a 4-minute, 40 megabyte video that has E3 2000/nVidia commercial footage put to Soil’s ‘Halo’, created by Spike Bebop. It currently has NO homes – anyone willing to step forward to mirror it? Drop us a line!

The Halo SETI Marines hold their own this week – a new member joins, with almost 1500 units, nicely augmenting the team total (welcome, highlander!). Int_21 holds on to Le Crunch Honneur… but *-=SHARkY=-* is coming up quickly from behind. Fadecourt leaps 70 teammates to take the Frogblast award this week. How did you do?…

Well, kiss mah grits – another easter egg has surfaced. Space Cowboy has discovered some graffiti left on the Maw by Ferrex, one of Halo’s level designers. Now what I want to know is… did he make it to the Longsword after finding this? Check out all the details on our Easter Eggs page.

Another victim of our overwork… Amechwarrior uploaded a series of pics showing his (and his brother’s) efforts to get on top of Blood Gulch – the first batch went up almost a week ago, though he was still a good distance from the top. On Saturday, he uploaded a new batch, showing what the map…

Heh – noticed this over at the Battleground: Halo forums – someone’s gone and created a Halo Movie poster. Nice work!

Brian Towne has mirrored the newest music video, since Angelfire seems to have closed down the original site. You can now find it here, at mythica.org. Thanks, Brian!

DT_Spike snagged the images from the OXM scan we put up yesterday, and did some airbrushing, a little blurring, some editing… came up with a pretty slick mural (almost 2000 pixels wide). Check it out in our Miscellaneous Art section.

Another chapter from Gasmask comes in – Halo: A Strange Tale (Part 5) is posted to our Fan Fiction section. Marathon connections continue… and now here come the Pathways.

Apologies for the lack of posting – huge amounts of time have been sucked up fixing hardware problems. Yesterday, a note from Senator32 came in – yet another music video has been posted. This one is made up from existing clips (rather than newly-recorded material) – the E3 2000 movie, the Gamestock 2001 movie, and…

Recently, a contest being run by the Official Xbox Magazine was mentioned on our forum. We were going to hold off on posting the article it came from (until the Press Scans section was completed)… but the contest ends in a month, so it seems to make more sense to put it up now. The…

Triplex Virus writes to let us know that a new Halo site has come online – Random Vector is devoted to tricks, hacks, and wishes for the mythical Halo 1.5. Check ’em out for some fun pics!

Thanks to Brian Towne, who has mirrored both the large version (33 MB) and the small version (16 MB) of Phear X’s Halo music video (this is the Silent Cartographer film, set to Rob Zombie’s Dragula) at Mythica.org. Check ’em out, if you didn’t get ’em via Hotline!

Another Gameplay Tip – it’s common knowledge that the pair of Banshees on the natural bridge on the Assault on the Control Room level are worth grabbing… but now you have access to a short video showing you what is probably the fastest CONSISTENT way of doing so. (Yes, you can run out there and…

Another pair of stories have found their way into our mailbox – Albino Joe sends us an interesting viewpoint on a contentious portion of the Halo story (don’t read this if you’re not up for spoilers), and Gasmask sends in part 4 of his Strange Tale saga. Check ’em both out (along with almost 250…

Walkthroughs: Neogamer has updated his Halo FAQ/Walkthrough to version 0.9 (it’ll be bumped to v1.0 when he finishes his Multiplayer stuff) – it’s available at GameFAQs, among other places. Also at GameFAQs (same URL, even) is a new Walkthrough by R.K. Raja – it contains most of the info from the Halo manual, plus a…

Phear X has created another music video, and is looking for hosting, as well. It’s pretty standard Halo gameplay (there’s some fun stuff at the end) set to Rob Zombie’s ‘Dragula’. While I’m loath to discourage new creative material, this video has a few issues; It’s pretty big (there are two flavors, a 33 meg…

Another shout-out to genohunter – he’s dropped off a pretty positive 6-page Halo review from the January 2002 issue of Joypad, a French Console mag. Yes, it’s in French. Check it out in our (soon to be finished… hopefully) Press Scans section. (Okay, it’s true – it’s the only article in the new format. They’re…
