Year: 2002

StarWarsFanMan pointed out a snippet of dialog we missed on the second level of Halo (you only hear it if you don’t climb into the Warthog when Foe Hammer drops it off). We’ve added it to the Halo level transcript.

Two new Fan Fiction authors:The Story of Elite 117, by Linda Scanlon Perfection Parts 1-4, by Vincent SmithGo check ’em out…

Did someone blow it? Was Silent Cartographer a doomed mission from the very start? Are courts-martial in order? Be sure to watch Combat History, this week on VisionStar. (Thanks to Travis Cossel, who captured this 40-second, 6.7 mb QT version of the trailer.)

Warbow started a movie based off of School House Rock… but never really got anywhere. The splash screen is great, though.

HaloJuggaloProductions has redone the site (again). There’s a little bit of new content, even.

Just a couple of Fan Fiction pieces for you today: Outlaw, part 3, by Chris Cassani Halo 2: Return of Death, part 3, by Lord Dagon Go get ’em…

One Miscellaneous Art submission today…

Today’s desktop submissions can now be found in our Wallpaper section.

Pretty cool pic added to the Phoenix Posthumous Artwork page – though I’d have to question the text that goes along with it. look for dosaphoenix.jpg if the link doesn’t take you all the way down to the bottom…

dolbex points out that the Halo50K preregistration database is now online. It starts with a survey – they’re trying to get an idea about how much interest there is. (After the survey, you’re given a chance to preregister your team; this isn’t the stage at which you need to pay or anything.) Stop by and…

Gotta love it when the big boys are months behind. Today, Macworld UK posted an article about a talk they had ‘recently’ with Peter Tamte, president of Destineer Studios, and Bold, the company that will publish the Mac version of Halo. The information seems a tad out of date:”Halo for the Mac will be released…

Since the Xbox Live Bootcamp summary went online yesterday, two other writeups have come to light. (One was just published, the other I just found.) We’ll be keeping up on these; as new ones come up, we’ll add them to the list. In theory, there will be about a dozen when all is said and…

Dang, and it’s times like these I wish I had a webcam. BOLL has created yet another Flash masterpiece; this one’s a bit larger (640K), and requires that you have a webcam attached to your PC… but if you do, you can put your own face behind the visor of the Master Chief! (Three different…

Emildux has written up the Running Riot Invitational Summary, complete with pictures – this was the $1000 first prize competition we mentioned recently. Take a look!

This came in a little while ago, but I forgot about it. 🙁 Jiberish Halo Productions has put together a little vid called ‘Halo – Session’. It’s in .wmv format, 2:31 long, and weighs in at 12.5 mb. Mostly, it’s a demonstration of what you can do with 400% health, a lot of rockets and…

A happy birthday wish to Stefan Sinclair! (Earlier today, the Bungie webcam text read ‘HappyBD2me :O)’ – it’s since been shortened to ‘:O)’. *Ar-Isildur speculated from the smiley that this was written by Stefan… and a quick check confirmed this.) Have a Surly Dwarf Ale for all the fans!

Took way too long (what else is new?), but the Xbox Live Bootcamp article is finally online. I was invited (along with 14 or so other people from around the country) for ‘Xbox Live Bootcamp’, an in-depth look at the Xbox Live gaming service, and what it means for Microsoft. A day in Seattle (plus…

Not really Halo-related, but PBO doesn’t have a news-posting mechanism (and even I’m not stupid enough to build something like that for a game that’s already been canned) – Rampancy.net has posted a short Q&A with Matt Soell about Phoenix, and the project that has replaced it. Check it out!

New video at Blackstar Productions this morning. It’s by Ben Dussault, and it’s in the vein of BSP’s Halo movies; inspiring music and Halo gameplay. 480×274, 1:30 long, 19.1 mb big, in QT format. Check it out! (There are a couple of movies we’ll be posting soon, as well.)

Sometimes, people just get too attached to what they’re doing. Pity them.
