Gasmask comes up with a novel use for Grunts… check our our Miscellaneous Art section.

Apologies to Fan Fiction writers; on busy weekends, more time-consuming tasks get pushed back, and formatting fiction entries falls into that category. Here, then, are the submissions from over the weekend:Wings of Death, part 11, by el_halo_diablo Revolution, part 18 (series finale), by Gruntkiller Cry for a Hero: Epilogue, by el_halo_diablo Halo 2: Return of…

ICDedPpl wanted to point out that the 7th Column chapter MOSHPIT will be hosting a tournament in mid-November, with $850 in cash on the line (if full attendance – 64 people – is reached), and pizza, soda, and snacks for everyone. Entrance fee is $20 a head, and the location is Rochester Hills, MI. If…

Four new desktops for you in our Wallpaper collection, including one from the curator of the newly opened Bungie Wallpaper Stash over at Forerunners.org. Go check ’em out… and check the stash for other Bungie-related (not just Halo) desktops!

Charles Powell has whipped up a pair of banners for our Banners section… we’re honored. You’ll find both a small version and a larger one.

The Posthumous Phoenix Artwork page has been updated again.

It’s been said that Halo can inspire obsession. We recently received a pretty clear example of this. Zachary Hahn, armed with Halo and a stopwatch, managed to run some time trials and calculate various speeds and rates related to Halo vehicles and weapons. You’ll find the results in our Miscellaneous section, in a document called…

Since the announcement that Bungie’s secret project known as Phoenix has been shelved, the artwork has begun to pour in. We started by placing it in our Miscellaneous Art section… but it’s clear that it has the potential to crush that section, and it’s not particularly Halo-related. We’ve therefore added new additions (as well as…

Recently, Bungie posted the eighth chapter of their Legendary Walkthrough at the Tru7h and Reconciliation site. It included a whole passel of the now-legendary (hehe) Bungie-quality screenshots to illustrate the text. We’ve added these to our Screenshots database; you’ll find the 43 shots shown on that page, plus 9 others that didn’t make the cut.…

Ghôlsbane has submitted an .eps file containing a path of the Phoenix logo outline. To use this, open it in Photoshop (or anything that reads Photoshop paths) and select the Paths palette. It’s invisible until you select it. Quality is quite good; there’s a simple example of what you can do with it in the…

Last month’s mind-shaking magazine articles are no longer on the newsstands… so we can finally bring them to you in our Press Scans section. You’ll find ‘Apokalyps Nu’ from the September issue of Sweden’s Super Play, ‘X-Files’ from the October issue of France’s Official Xbox Magazine, and the gorgeous article from the September Edge Magazine.…

We’re swimming in Miscellaneous Art today…

Pair of new desktops for you… check our Wallpaper section.

—m0bus— has turned in a new banner, in use on his clan site, BOX Inc. Halo. You’ll find it in our Banners section.

There’s been plenty of Halo Story speculation on our forum recently… but now there’s even more; the Halo Story site has gotten a tasty update by our very own Finn. Go see what he thought was worth considering this time around!

Boatloads of new content at Bungie.net… on top of yesterday’s system upgrades, we now have a Legendary walkthrough for Two Betrayals (with almost 50 new screenshots – and more if you know where to look) and an article entitled ‘So You Want To Be a Programmer’, written by Michael Evans, a programmer on the Halo…

Three new images for our Miscellaneous art collection this time around. Folks: during the past few days, we’ve received a huge number of art submissions. Some of them we received more than once. Again – if you don’t see your image online in a day or so after submission, feel free to send us email…

Inverted can be fun. New desktop from Frank Machado in our Wallpaper section. Update: eep, forgot one. Bbow of Been Mawed dropped off a Halo50K desktop. Sorry about that.

Three new logo modifications from Justin Guizzo – check our Logos section.
