Month: February 2006

rywateska is putting together a new ‘Immortal Montage’, and he submitted the trailer to the MPRRS recently. Went over quite well. It’s quite short, and you can grab it in two different form-factors; 640×428 (about 12 mb, QuickTime or WMP9) or 420×280 (about 8 mb, QuickTime or WMP9). Go watch – and then wait for…

You may or may not remember the name Midnight – but he’s been around the Halo community for quite some time, and now he’s in Fallujah with the US Armed Forces. He’s got a blog over at HushedCasket.com to keep you up-to-date on how it’s going. (This is a guy who hacked his Xbox, added…

Over at High Impact Halo, there’s a newspost about a video podcast from an independent TV company that covers Pacific Northwest style – and one of their episodes (number 8 in the list) is devoted to Halo. It’s really aimed at a more generic audience than this one – but it’s worth a watch if…

Hellhawk dumped several hundred dialogue snippets in our inbox yesterday; an amazing feat, given how much has already been documented at this point. We’re going to put them up in batches; the first batch is 131 snippets, from Johnson, Jones, the Spec-Ops Commander, Stacker, and Tartarus. Whew! More coming tomorrow (Brutes, Elites, and Grunts are…

The full results for the 2005 MLG Championship are posted over at MLGPro.com – Congrats to Team3D (winners of the 4v4) and True_Karma (winner of the FFA), as well as everyone else involved! Thanks to Derek, on our forum, and 3Suns, via email.

Barbaric_rage sent along a link to a photogallery run by a Battlestar Galactica fan, containing every image he could find of fan-made Halo suits. (Many are from here.) Unfortunately, none of them contain info about the creators, so if you see something you like, there’s no way to contact the person who made it… but…

Rockslider has put together a new page detailing some long-distance fun you can have on the level Halo of the first game. Check out his description on our forum.

Okay, this is… weird. kinggun sent along a photo of a couple of ox tails (he’s a butcher), and wondered if you can see the resemblance to anything Halo related. (Like Flood tentacles, for example.) I told you it was weird.

Interesting. Microsoft launched a new website recently, called ‘The Origami Project’ – tech blogs across the net have speculated on what’s behind it. A new cell phone, a new handheld device… well, maybe it’s both. Eastbeast314 pointed out a blog entry at Kevin 2.0 (which in turn got its info from an Engadget comment) which…

Heretics & Heroes Episode 2 has been released – I don’t know how many of you are following this one, but if you’re not, you’re missing what is potentially one of the best series out there. Cinematography is top-notch, voice-acting is some of the best I’ve heard, there’s an actual plot, and it’s funny. What…

Andrew “LaR-NE0” Hamm sent along a bunch of renders he’d been working on; some pretty nice stuff. You can see the whole lot of them on this page. Warning: they’re rather large!

Heh – it’s been so long, many of you have probably forgotten… but the 7 on the 7th Halo Joke contest closed its doors to submissions last night, and judging has begun. Even after tossing the stuff that’s not Halo-related, there is still a HUGE list of jokes to go through… but never fear, we’ll…

Weekly Update this week is pretty light – Frankie’s confounded by the internet, and is taking it out on you. There are some nice tidbits (congrats to the preggers ones, and check out the Halo 2 Soundtrack news)… mostly it’s a ‘we’re still here’ kind of post. That said – go read it anyway (either…

Another very cool piece from Bryn ‘ofthehi77’ Casey – this one is a space battle tidbit known as ‘Goliath. Sizeable (325k, and just about big enough for a monster screen wallpaper)… but definitely worth the look. Check it out!

Stuntmutt goes back to an old favorite for the punchline of today’s One One Se7en. Wait… how is that different from any other day?

22 stories built up in the Fan Fiction section since I left – go read. (I must say, I was FLABBERGASTED to receive an email this morning, at 6:50 am Eastern time, telling me that we OWE the community an update, since there hasn’t been one for 9 days. As a group, Fan Fiction writers…

Frontline With Suzie is updated with Broadcast 14 – Suzie interviews Engineer Jones, soon after he escapes the Pillar of Autumn. Interesting theory as to the color scheme of the Engineering uniforms… thanks, rockslider.
