Month: November 2002

Undaunted by the lack of responses the first time round, Darth Epy0n posted a link to a Jedi Knight II skin download a second time today – and I have to admit, the preview looks pretty dang good. If you play Jedi Knight II, go visit the downloads page at JediKnightII.net and grab this 2.5…

The easter egg discovered this weekend has been documented for the Halo Easter Egg page; thanks once again to everyone who contributed. I’ve taken the liberty of using the screenshots posted by 2 and 2 make 5 for documentation; if this is a problem, I’ll replace them with copies I create myself. (Hopefully, it won’t…

Eric Redmond and Skeletor have both submitted modifications of desktops available at Bungie’s Tru7h and Reconciliation website – both contain game spoilers. You can find the new work in our Wallpaper section.

A pair of modified images from Eric Redmond have been added to the Miscellaneous Art section.

Eep – almost forgot to post this! In response to the Great Egg Hunt (sad, sort of, to call it that, given that it was all for one egg, and not even a knock-your-socks-off one… but hey, we’ll do better next time), bikeman704 got desperate. You’ll find his (spoiler-laden) evidence in our Miscellaneous Art section.

Even in the hunt for Eggs, Fan Fiction continues to pour in:He’s Baaaaaack!, chapter 3, by Killer_Fairy Halo: Standing Firm, part 1, by Xzilen Sarges Platoon, part 1, by Bobby Lucas Fafnir, part 10, by KnightmareWolfGo read…

Three new desktops for you today, including a rather oddly shaped one, an image that was first submitted in a much smaller size for the Misc. Art section, and a subtly changed image (look closely in the shadows). You’ll find all three in our Wallpaper section.

Another comic from Stosh – this one should be appreciated by Matt Soell. You’ll find it in our Miscellaneous Art section.

And while the sick are sleeping, the gnomes work. The Subnova Hotline crew, aided in no small part by Miguel Chavez and in spite of their neglect of the correct answer dangled in front of their noses no fewer than 4 times by Cunbelin, managed to solve the egg mystery; details can be found on…

Project-Halo has gotten a facelift, and some new content… browse around!

Start the weekend with some Fan Fiction: Fafnir, part 9, by KnightmareWolf The Tides of War, chapter 6, by Corbantis Shadows of Archon II, part 28, by Wado Get to readin’!

Over the last few days, the HBO forum has fixated itself on finding a mentioned-in-passing easter egg in Halo. Elan Sleazbagano has done a decent job writing up the progress to date; start here, if you’re interested in joining in the hunt. What began as a casual remark has turned into another community event like…

Eric Redmond turned in a very nice piece of Halo artwork; it would probably make a great desktop, if not for the fact that it’s less than 400×300 pixels. Nonetheless, it’s worth looking at; you’ll find it in our Miscellaneous Art section. (There are game spoilers in this image.)

Ever wonder how Bungie works out their multiplayer map designs? Are they totally haphazard, or is there actually thought behind the various features? Get the lowdown on three different maps at Bungie’s Tru7h and Reconciliation site, in the latest story written up by Mordia, entitled ‘Designing for Carnage’. Very, very cool.

Next weekend, a large gaming event is taking place up in Ontario – Fragapalooza East 2002, 3 days of carnage with $40,000 in prizes to be given out. The focus is on PC games (UT2003 and Warcraft III), but also listed on the ‘Official Tournaments’ list is Halo CTF, 4vs4. If you’re nearby, this might…

James Snow has turned in an update to an older banner in our collection – you’ll find it in the Banners section. I’m not 100% comfortable with banners that were built to plug other fansites… but we accepted the older one, so we should accept this one. In other banner news, I need to figure…
