Month: June 2002

For the Fan Fiction readers, we have two new stories:The Long Ride Home, part 10, by Joshua Barreto A Comedy of Peace, part 3, by Jason Pridgen For the Fan Fiction authors, I’d like to take an opportunity to point out a couple of sites you guys should know about:Zenith – a site devoted to…

A new site for ya – Halo Installation 004. Lots of game info, gameplay tips, speculation. Not your average ‘put up a bunch of screenshots and call it a site’ site. (Now if only they didn’t refer to us as ‘official’ in the links section… 🙂 )

Gone for a long time, Bonk returns in style! Go visit iBonk.com, and check out the newest Teleporter Fun vid – pretty cool shooting, there…

Quick Fan Fiction functional update: there’s a new link attached to each entry in the Fan Fiction section; if the story is part of a series, you can now read the series in its entirety. (The old ‘more by this author’ link is still there… but in some cases, this will bring up much more…

Saturday’s Fan Fiction:Rise To Honor, part 4, by Shadow The Hells of War, part 2 (formerly Tides of War) and Part 3, by Reiyou Halo: The Battles Beyond, part 1, by DVDMarine All yours…

After the gnomes clean this up, they’re gonna come looking for whoever made the mess… we wuz framed.

Today’s Fan Fiction: Halo: The True Warrior, part 1, by Mike ‘Halo Lord’ Galazka The Brethren of Saturn, part 3, by Lynnada Check ’em out!

Oddworld18 stopped by our forum to point out a warthog rendering he did. We’ve added it to our Miscellaneous Art section. The version available here is a QuickTime 5 movie – but the original is linked in the description (or in Oddworld18’s forum post).

Vector40 ran across a couple of heretofore-unknown Halo links this evening… we’ve added them to our Links page. The first one contains one monster of a movie… but unless you’re hell-bent on collecting every Halo movie out there, you can probably pass on it. (It’s 440 mb, and it spends 28 minutes tooling around on…

Heh – thanks to Psyrixx, who pointed out (in an oh-so-polite way) that the Bungie Store has restocked its supply of Halo Soundtracks – if you couldn’t get your hands on one before now, go grab it! (Heck, if you already bought one, go buy another!)

What makes the world go round? How about Halo… what makes Halo go round? (Jump in any time.)

Inspired by a discussion on our forum, oldmano’theC drops off a desktop image with some pretty big intentions… check it out in our Wallpaper section.

And it’s Weasel to the rescue! That Weasel Television mirrors ‘Vehicle Fun’ by Black_Jackal, ’16 Minutes of Halo Fame’ by Assassin X and HiTmAn 101, and ‘Tournament’ by Warbow (in both the original QT and a new, 9.8 mb .wmv) – if you’re having trouble getting these files, go visit That Weasel! (The Tournament mirrors…

New Fan Fiction from Shadow – Rise to Honor, part 3 is now available. Take a look!

Apologies for the delay – a few days ago, we received a sketch of the Master Chief… along with a series of images showing how the final product came about. You can find this image (and its evolution) in our Miscellaneous Art section. Interesting!

Woohoo! 5 more musical outtakes, courtesy of Marty O’Donnell and the Bungie Online team – read all about ’em (and download ’em) from Bungie’s Tru7h and Reconciliation website. Thanks to Clefton Twain for the heads-up! (With a little work, the Halo Love Theme Sketch could have made it into a Godfather sequel… okay, maybe not.)

Movies, movies, and more movies… there’s no guarantee that the main server won’t simply melt, but we’ve put another massive film up at mythica.org – this time it’s Warbow’s ‘Tournament’. It’s… well, you should watch it, it’s sort of hard to explain. It’s 18 megs, in QT5 format, and if you can mirror it, we’d…

Xbox news: Pallor points out a new book by Dean Takahashi called ‘Opening the Xbox: Inside Microsoft’s Plan to Unleash an Entertainment Revolution’. She hasn’t read it yet, but has reason to believe that Bungie (and Jason Jones) might be discussed. Also – emildux points out an article at MSNBC.com that looks at Microsoft’s willingness…

Feel the love. Yesterday, we posted our new Movie Posting Guidelines, to (regretfully) explain why we couldn’t continue to find hosting for every single movie made by fans. Today, 3 new movies find non-HBO-related homes, and two movies get MORE homes. You guys rock. Okay, to business: Vector40, against his better judgement, risks tomorrow’s dinner…

Got Halo, but can’t find any prospects for local LAN games? Never fear, the 7th Column is always there to help! Shaq Diesel and Skip Weasel, two Bungie employees (and, from the sounds of it, lonely guys) offer you tips on how to make friends, in the hopes of building up a critical mass for…
