Month: October 2000

Jesse Keenan sends in a nice desktop image using his tiger-striped marine… you can find it on our Wallpaper page. (The tiger-striped marine was submitted to the Miscellaneous Art page last month.) Hey… this marks our 100th Wallpaper submission! Thanks, Jesse.

In mid-August, we noted a new German site devoted to Halo, Halo-News. Well, they’ve revamped the site, and fleshed it out… and would love for you to visit it again. Take a look!

T/K posts about a new Covenant clan, The Arbiter. If you’re looking to play on the non-human side, this is one of the few groups that focuses on it. Check ’em out!

A little late, the morning’s been busy… The SETI server seems to be having some serious problems keeping up with submitted results, so it’s hard to tell where the Halo SETI Marines stand, but one thing’s for sure… they’re doing their part to find the Covenant! DarthFlounder continues to crunch those units, taking La Crunch…

BluR sends word that a new Halo site, Halo Heaven, has come online. News, pictures, movie links, info. Take a look! Pax.

Haloplayers have put up an interview with one of their hosted squads… DnDs, the Death ‘n Destruction squad. They’re Dutch, they’re big, and their website is IE-only. (No, really, they’re keeping NS users out with a javascript.) First seen at R.net, cause we’re lazy tonight.

Andre Correa has submitted another piece of Halo-inspired art, this time of a random Bob. You can find it in our Miscellaneous Art section.

DRAVEN, of the Halo Information Network, sends in a simple and clean desktop image for our Wallpaper page. Great for those cluttered desktops that just need some eye relief…

Mock writes to let us know that airbornerangers.org are putting together a Myth tournament called ‘WWII: Risk Global Domination Tournament’. In Mock’s words, it is ‘by far the most ambitious Myth tournament to date’. Why are you reading this on a Halo page?If all goes well, we will run a Halo Risk tournament, with a…

Luke Varley submits a… different sort of Halo logo. You can find it on our Logos page.

Happy Belated Birthday, Chucky! (We almost let it slide, even though it was mentioned on bungie.net, but Matt took us to task in his (weekly?) Halo update, posted to our forum this time.) Indoor goodness, AI improvements, and Wall-Hugging Hippos… it’s all there! See? And you thought they were just trying to stick forks in…

Hamish Sinclair does his typically thorough analysis of an Island Four post we mentioned last week. Lots and lots of details about Pablo Neruda… more Blake tie-ins… even some Smashing Pumpkins. The details can be found in today’s Marathon Story update.

Peter Askam sends word that Halo Command UK has a new Halo skin for WinAmp, the Windows mp3 player. You can find it in their Media section, under Sounds. Take a look!

Battleground Halo is combating the no-news-induced boredom with Halo Libs, a new feature based on the parlor game ‘Mad Libs’ created in 1958 by Roger Price and Leonard Stern. You fill a form out with various parts of speech, and these words or phrases will be added to a story. BGH will print the funniest…

Zero4 writes on our forum that his clan, Halo Death, is recruiting. Join up today! Pax.

[GK]ByteEater sends word that his clan, the GrailKnights, have added Halo to their roster. Take a look!

Iden has submitted to our Theories section an interpretation of a line of one of the Cortana letters… could ‘a Demon folded in black clouds’ be a W’rkncacnter? You be be the judge. (You can find other speculations about this William Blake-inspired line on the Marathon’s Story page devoted to Cortana. Suffice it to say…

One back, one down: Battleground Halo returns with a new look, and Halo Central calls it quits. You win some, you lose some… (Thanks to R.net for the heads-up on Halo Central.)

Thanks to fire phoenix, of HC, who submitted another logo for our Logos page. Take a look!

Nothing to see here, move along…
