Year: 2002

Whoa. Can’t remember the last time we did this, but hey, exigent circumstances, and all… Travis Cossel, quickly making a name for himself in the Halo Video scene, has put together a promo film for the iGames Halo Winter Season – you can grab a copy (6.3 mb, 1:22 long, QT 5 format) over at…

On October 25th, jackass the movie opened in theaters. Within three days, we’d received two submissions parodying this film. Our limited bandwidth resources required that we choose one… Kevin Kranzky has created a 6:45, 32.5 mb film that looks at stupid Halo stunts. Some of it’s hilarious, some of it is kind of silly… but…

iGames has posted the tournament rules for the Halo Winter Season; if you’re interested in competing in this national event (the first qualifiers are this weekend), check out this page! Thanks to Team Overkill for the heads-up.

Tuesday’s Fan Fiction: Liberation, part 8, by Hoju Indoctrination, by Havok Have at ’em…

SilverBrin****, of The Psyjnir Complex, has created another piece of Halo fan music. In SB’s words:Think Halo meets Oni… If the Master Chief and Konoko were out clubbing, you might hear this….then again mb not not :(.It’s interesting. I have trouble hearing the Halo influences in places… but you should check it out for yourself!…

Game Nation has interviewed Xbox Canada’s marketing manager, Ryan Mugford. There are some interesting numbers in there; Canada has the highest percentage of Xbox gamers in the world (30.1% of their home console market), the highest percentage of Halo purchasers, and a ridiculously high percentage of people with access to broadband (80% of Xbox owners…

Hojjen drops off a big, bright desktop for our Wallpaper section. Take a look…

Bizarre pair of Miscellaneous Art submissions tonight. (For what it’s worth, the creator of the first one has nothing to do with me, and I probably wouldn’t have posted the second one if I hadn’t been so amused by goings-on on the forum this evening.)

Better late than never… today’s Fan Fiction offerings:He’s Baaaaaack! Chapter 1, by Killer_Fairy Outlaw, Chapter 4, by Chris Cassani The Hephaestus Equation I, by Dirty Commie Apparently, the comments abuse is getting worse. A forum thread has been started to get votes from people interested (one way or the other) in the continued existence of…

Weekend Fan Fiction:Halo 2: Return of Death,, part 4, by Lord Dagon ‘GET OUT!’, by Neile Pederson Justification, part 2, by Rixor A word of advice to fan fic writers: If you decide to use a font that 95% of your readers do not have access to (like, say, Tengwar Sindarin), be sure to submit…

We received another movie from Jiberish Halo Productions. This one’s called ‘Fear and Wonder, and it’s a 3:21 long, 13.8 mb gameplay film. There are some great moments in this film (the dismount/mount at 0:40 is fantastic), but I’d like to make something clear… this movie (and more than a dozen like it that have…

Pair of desktops for you today. (One was submitted probably as a logo enhancement… but it’s wallpaper-sized, so I’m putting it here.) Check our Wallpaper section.

We’ve added the three map views from Bungie’s recent Team Tournament Strategy Guide to our Screenshots database.

Griffon writes to point out that Halo Command Central (a site that has existed in many guises over the years) is live again, in its prettiest format yet, over at Forerunners.org. There’s not much content yet (Just a Weapons page and a Vehicles page, it seems)… but it’s open, and content will fill out quickly,…

Light Fan Fiction offering today – one story; Revolution 2 Return of the Forerunner, part 2, by Gruntkiller. Go take a look!

Unreal Halo, and some mods on an early bit of concept art… all in our Miscellaneous Art collection.

A pretty dark image for you today in the Wallpaper section…

Team Overkill has created an Expression for AOL Instant Messenger based on this site. It’s being hosted by AIM Buddy Expressions, on this page… but there are no previews there, so we’ve put one up here. This work was done with the help of Nick.

Nick found a pretty cool-looking UT2k3 version of Hang ’em High… someone’s putting a lot of time into making it right. The thread (with a number of screens) can be found here. You’ll need to register to view the site, so here’s a link to one of the images, so you can get a better…
