Hehe – The McLees (all of them) went to GenCon last week… and mehve has written up a pretty entertaining report; it’s the top story over at Bungie.net. Go read it!

The Halogamers crew ran into some personal snags this week, so Episode 2 of the Sidewinder Saga will not be up until next week. To tide you over, they’ve made ‘Not Episode 2’ (320×240, 6.0 mb), which can be grabbed on their Episodes page. Check it out!

27 new dialogue snippets from Captain Spark today, including this rare but hilarious one. Check out the Dialogue Databank!

No time to add a Fan Fiction update yesterday… so there are 17 stories for you today: Search for Chief part 1, by Legend Player Project: Shadow Spartan, Chapter 10, by Agent Shade Rise of the Hellion chapter 1, by Sarge The Struggle for D.C.: Chapter 1, by Daniel Renner (Part 9) M31: First Blood,…

Over a year ago, Will Turnbow created (then updated) a Halo font, to match the Halo logo developed by Bungie. Yesterday, he submitted another update; this one simply changes the ‘2’ to match the ‘2’ in the Halo 2 logo. We’ve updated the Miscellaneous Art entry that contained the last version, since that’s been pointed…

James DeWitt points out that TechTV will be broadcasting the full 8 minute E3 Demo Trailer this Monday at 11:30 pm (also twice on Tuesday – see TechTV’s schedule for details). If you haven’t had an opportunity to see this in full-screen glory, this is your chance!

Ryan ‘Mhaddy’ Matthews of the Junkyard reminds everyone that a contest started over a year ago is drawing to a close… the Halo: Guess the Release Date Contest! You’ve got 5 more days to guess the date at which Halo PC goes Gold…

The new bandwidth collective C.O.E.R.C.E. has posted three new movies: MC Is Wonderboy, by Erik Vogt (12.3 mb, 4:33 long, QuickTime format) – a pretty fun turn-a-song-into-a-story vid, with a twist; the filming was all done with a camera facing a TV. (This was done because it’s all Erik had… but it’s an effect which…

There was a concerned note posted on our forum today from someone who had preordered Halo action figures from the Bungie Store, but couldn’t find any information about them any more. SketchFactor stepped in with some reassurances; seems there have been some supply shortages coming from Joyride, so they’ve chosen to stop taking preorders that…

The dangers of music… expounded upon in today’s One One Se7en. Read.

Major League Gaming, a console gaming league for professional video game players, has signed Dustin ‘HP Darkman’ Langton to a management contract. First up – he’s got an endorsement deal with LASR Accessories, a company that makes backpacks for consoles. HP Darkman seems to be the first Halo gamer to parlay his gaming skills into…

Recently, we’ve been posting a number of links to movie mirrors on Blade’s Team Ice website. He’s run into the problem that many potential hosts have hit; bandwidth overage. If you want to help out, visit his site for an update. (For those that can’t connect the dots, all movies hosted by Team Ice are…

Darksage created a trailer for an ambitious project: a new, full-length feature film, called Marines. You can find the trailer (in a variety of formats) over at the Drunk Monkeys Productions download page. (I’d suggest holding off on either of the QuickTime versions; there’s a much-better-quality copy coming soon. It’s 3.1 mb, so if that’s…

Another Halo board has started up – Ninjas on Ice is a spinoff of Ninjas on Fire, apparently. This came in Monday, but I lost it in the rush.

Homelan Fed recently started a series called the ’10 Most Important First Person Shooters’ – number 9, posted today, is Halo. (They’re listed in Chronological order – there’s one more coming.) Take a look at why they think it’s important!

Ross Mills has tossed his Halo Rhapsody movie up on FilePlanet. One of these days, I HAVE to get the Movies database brought up-to-date… If you missed this when it was still up at Mythica, here’s another chance.

Good news on the Halo movie front – Brian Towne mentions that he’s already signed a contract with a new provider, and as soon as he can get his server back from the LAST provider, will have Mythica.org up and running again! (No ETA, though.) There’s hope on the horizon!

Large submissions to the Dialogue Databank recently from c0ld vengeance and Captain Spark – you’ll find another 54 snippets today, bringing the total to a chunk over 500. (Before any of you get on my case about some of these being scripted – yes, a couple are, but they’re not triggered 100% of the time,…

Wow. Keyes exploration… it might not be what you think. (I’m still waiting to find out how he got through the loading zones…)

Pallor sends in another Halo sighting: The latest movie to hit theaters for kids has the cards stacked in favor of Bungie’s Halo. The stars in the movie Ryan Pinkston and Robert Vito have come out publically to state its their favorite game. That carries over to the movie itself: Inside the game they are…
