Month: February 2004

Eclarap points out that not only can you get the updates in German, as we mentioned earlier today, but in French, too – just stop by Halo-Game and see what they’ve got!

DocOctavius continues his rendering experimentation with an appropriately named image – ‘Action’. I’m lovin’ this stuff!

Stefan, from Halo Orbit, has pointed out that you can now read Frankie’s Weekly Bungie Updates in German, if you so desire – and they’re fully searchable, as well. Visit the archive for more details!

343GS.com updated their EchoFourNineteen comic series (check the downloads section) with a new strip on Friday – but we didn’t notice. (Thanks, snowy_duck, for pointing it out.) Interesting perspective on the Jackal language…

Ouch. Subnova has run out of money… it doesn’t look like it can afford to offer the services to the community that it’s been offering. (If you weren’t aware, roughly half of HBO’s pages have been running on Subnova servers for the past month or so.) We’re going to do our best to keep this…

Stuntmutt, never one to be right there on top of the day’s events, has written a Sunday Strip for One One Se7en that looks at… well, last week’s Weekly Bungie Update. You can never sink too low, it seems. There’s always another rung down.

HomelanFed recently interviewed the First Strike mod team about their work – the result is an interesting read. How they got started, what their mod will cover, what we might be seeing in the future… check it out!

Wow – now THAT’S a slick-looking Warthog. quaglinoman, over at the Halomods forums, has posted a TRON-inspired warthog (the original movie, not the recent game) – and it looks great. Check it out! (Thanks to TURBO for the heads-up.)

John Kedrowski pointed out the sad news that CobaltNova is hanging it up. No more Halo for Emil… he’s closing the doors.

Stuntmutt has provided the world with a bonus movie today – it weighs in at 552k, and it shows off what might just be the most powerful weapon we’ll see against certain enemies. Check out Pump Action!

Our Homelan-sponsored IRC channel has become its own little community – something that many realized would happen. It’s a place for forum regulars and irregulars alike, along with visitors from other sites and the odd (and I do mean odd) Bungie employee to come and hang out; in general, it’s a friendly place. We had…

And because too what fun is text without pictures, we have today’s Guest One One Se7en – Jillybean threatens to take over the place. After that last post, i’ve half a mind to let her.

Geez – you don’t update Fan Fiction for a few days, and suddenly you’ve got 29 entries to post. The Raptros Saga: Ch.1: Awakening, by Raptros-v75 Chapet one: Unforgiving Wounds, by ToFu Sep’Reo [The Reclamation]: Chapter 1, by JJiggssaw The Covenant Weapon–chapter 2 Capture, by Halo_2204 The Fall of Rye: Chapter 1: The Seige, by…

I missed the “Bushwacker” yesterday – I hope this doesn’t kill Revenant_SP001’s Tripod account. (If it does, I grabbed a copy – let us know.)

Today’s REAL Bungie Weekly Update is over at TeamXbox – and it’s a doozy. Halo 2 PIC! Okay… it’s just a prototype of the Joyride action figure… but it’s way cool-looking. There’s also lots of info about the week’s progress; ambient life, new control schemes, lightmaps, you name it. Go read!

Devin Olsen posted a note about a movie he and Goatrope made – getting to the top of Gephyrophobia. There are three mirrors for the 7 mb, 1-minute DivX-encoded film listed in the forum post. Take a look!

Episode 25 of Red vs Blue’s Blood Gulch Chronicles has been posted for sponsors. It’s a monster – 4:48 of hilarity. They just keep getting better and better. Thanks, Ross.

Whoa. WAY ahead of schedule, Frankie has posted this week’s Bungie Update over at the IGN forums. Info on the upcoming web overhaul, voice chat, new multiplayer options, and (w00t!) final Halo 2 box art – what more do you want? Go read. (Thanks for the heads-up, Obie!) Update: I should have known it was…

More rendering from DocOctavius – this time, it’s our friend the Elite. I like it!

Cortana.org is stating that testing is going on for the Halo Editing Kit, and that ‘things have progressed’. If we hear more, we’ll be sure to pass it on!
