Speculations R Us
A sizeable update to the Halo Story Page today, from Finn – everything from potential story spoilers for Halo 2 (don’t worry, you have plenty of warning, you can read this update safely) to speculation about meteors. Go see what you can find!

Art – it’s what’s for dinner.
Once again clearing out the queue (except for some DeviantArt pieces I can’t add without the authors’ permission), we’ve got 8 more pieces for you in the Miscellaneous Art Section. Some pretty nice stuff today!

Kimchee – now local
Bah. Last week’s Bungie Update, originally posted at Subnova, has now been added to our Weekly Update Archive – at the cost of a bit of downtime. Watch for those infinite loops when you’re coding, folks!

Screenies DB up to date
Took a few days, but we’ve finally added the 1600×1200 versions of last week’s TGS screenshots that Bungie posted on Friday to our Screenshots database. Dang, that game is looking fine.

Don’t try this at home.
Okay, here’s a hint for you younger fans; if you’re gonna do something really stupid, don’t advertise. Today’s safety message illustrated by Calvin and Halo.

But are they built like us?
Monty Oum points out some Halo-related artwork he’s done over at DeviantArt – nice style!

Halo 2 Soundtrack – More than Marty?
Now THIS is bizarre. Sumthing Distribution, the folks who distributed the Special Edition Halo Soundtrack, have a new banner at the top of their main page. (I’ve linked to a local copy in case it goes away.) According to the banner, the Official Halo 2 Soundtrack will feature original music by Nile Rodgers, Incubus, Hoobastank,…

You’re waiting, I’m waiting, we’re all waiting.
TeamXbox puts up their Top Ten Games of Fall 2004… and the number one spot is taken by – oh, you know. (Pico’s Fight Club response is pretty close to what I thought when reading the notice from daedalus.)

MC gets Brainfreeze
Nice pickup by op_ivy, who found the first notice on the Gaming-Age forums; on the back page of the October 2004 Xbox Live calendar in the November issue of the Official Xbox Magazine (between pages 24 and 25) is a note in the ‘What’s Happenin’ With Xbox’ section:Halo 2 Collector Cups: Now available at 7-Eleven…

So where you gonna put that?
Dave Candland, long-absent (presumably due to his work overload) from our forum, popped in today to explain his rationale for the location of the shield meter in the Halo 2 HUD. (You can see what it looks like in some of the pictures recently posted by the Japanese site Impress, like the one referenced in…

Windsor Medium – gone, but not forgotten
Mothergoat wrote to point out that Windsor Medium, the band he’s been a part of for some time, has broken up – and the website (which has housed all his Halo-related creations for the past 8 months or so) is gone. We’re unwilling to let this content simply disappear, so it’s all been mirrored on…

A Plasma Pistol in the Grass
7he One has finally taken pictures of his handmade plasma pistol. Looks like it would work nicely for real-life melee attacks…

Then Three Come Along At Once.
Not too long ago, Frankie mentioned in a Bungie Weekly Update that it was pretty cool to watch the evolution of the city bus as the Halo 2 artwork progressed. Stuntmutt, in today’s One One Se7en, takes this evolution to its logical conclusion.

Countdown: 34 Days
Mad Cow points out that he’s started work on his own Master Chief suit for Halloween this year. Geez… that reminds me that I’ve got a BOATLOAD of new pics to post on Chris Bryan’s ongoing project page… soon, I hope.

See? He was reading the articles.
Ain Soph Aur noticed a tiny mention of Halo 2 (‘a must-have game’) in the October issue of Playboy Magazine. We probably won’t be bringing you scans of this.

Halo Babies Monday Update
mrsmiley writes to point out a couple of fan strips and a whole lot of fan artwork over at Halo Babies; go see what you can find.

Movie Bonanza
Looks like a LOT of movies were released yesterday; I’m gonna combine ’em all in one post for efficiency’s sake.Boneho Chane and Lockpicker made a movie with action figures (not stop-action) called ‘Chicken on Fire Episode 1’ – 15 mb, QuickTime format.toyoungtodie posted a vid called ‘Halo 2 Remix’ on the High Impact Halo forums;…

Old movie resurfaces – longer
Wow. I’m not sure how… but it looks like Xboxyde has gotten hold of (a mediocre version of) the very first E3/Zanzibar vid released. This is the vid that the 20 seconds of hi-res gameplay was cut from during E3 itself. This one’s only 320×240, and a bit dark and blurry… but it’s 20 minutes…

Man, is he cute or WHAT?
Recoil found a really nice closeup of the Kubrick Master Chief (from the Tokyo Game Show) on this Italian site. I want one!
