Year: 2002

Warbow found a fun piece of audio to go with a cute little film of Frogblast’s… he said it’s dedicated to some recent events on the forum. Timing is quite good. Movie is 38 seconds long, and about 3 mb. Enjoy!

Mojo points out that the bassist for Weezer has been playing Halo quite a bit recently. Even musicians need some carnage now and then!

Two fanfic stories for you today – but one is a monster. You’ll find Hoju’s Halo: The Advocate and el_halo_diablo’s Wings of Death, part 6 in the Fan Fiction section, but you might find The Advocate a bit large in one chunk. (It’s 160K of text.) The databased pages are broken up into sub-32k chunks…

Artwork that’ll make your jaw drop, from Daniel Conway. Visit our Miscellaneous Art section for ‘Halo Deep Freeze’. Wow.

Psyjnir.com has overhauled their Comics section; there are now two categories. Funnies is for any Bungie-related comic strips (there’s a size requirement), submissions are accepted. Storyline will house comics telling the (twisted and sick) story of the Psyjnir Complex, every Monday Wednesday, and Friday. Check ’em out!

Jeff Lofland turns in a modified version of a desktop image he sent in earlier – pretty cool! Check it out in our Wallpaper section.

Woohoo! As promised last week, the music from the Halo 2 trailer is available in downloadable .mp3 format from Bungie.net. Go get it! (Marty, you rock.)

Mick points out a new Halo 2 preview (in German) at PC Games Portal. I don’t read German, but a Systran translation suggests there isn’t anything here that wasn’t discussed in Edge or EGM magazines, or on the web. Still, I find it interesting that the preview cycle has already started up. Check it out!

If you’re a regular HBO forum visitor, you’ve probably seen some of the new models being created by Zeinin and Jonas. Zeinin is planning on making a ‘Fall of Reach’ movie; we’re holding off on compiling his work to date because at the moment, he’s cranking it out too fast. (This was posted tonight -…

Blackstar has updated the Work or Die video he posted 2 weeks ago to be a bit more bandwidth-friendly; it’s now 24.4 mb (the screensize was reduced to 480×360 to keep image quality up). If you haven’t downloaded this yet because it was too big, go grab it now… and watch me get killed over…

The weekend’s Fan Fiction submissions:Shadows of Archon II, part 16 and part 17, by Wado THE QUEST FOR FREEDOM Prologue, by ThASuPaMaN8 Wings of Death, part 5, by el_halo_diablo After HALO (k) Prologue, by Kyle A reminder for all Fan Fiction writers – if you choose a title that’s already in use, I’ll add something…

Ted Timmons dropped off a new desktop for us, because he “thought that your wallpapers on HBO should be updated a bit.” (Guess he missed the nearly 3 dozen Halo 2 desktops submitted in the past month…) You’ll find it in our Wallpaper section.

Hybrid Tech turns in a sketch of a Halo scene (spoilers enclosed). You can find it in our Miscellaneous Art section.

The content is quite intriguing:”The…

Woohoo! Marty O’Donnell says the mp3 for the Halo 2 music should be available by Monday (the 23rd). Yeehaw!
