Year: 2002

Continuing with the theme of camo-colored vehicles, Blackstar has retextured the Scorpion to work better in a snow environment… check out his Winter Camo Tank in the Miscellaneous Art section.

St. Joan, an old-time Bungie fan, has submitted a pretty comprehensive Halo theme for Windows-based machines. It’s rather large (9 megs), because it contains 5 separate themes, each with “multiple resolution wallpaper, original icons, cursors, and MP3 layer sound files.” The quality is quite high – so if you’re in the market for a Halo…

Lazy days of summer – today’s Fan Fiction offering is again one story – Titan – Chapter 2, by Jaywhit10. Give it a shot!

More random art submissions:Jon’s Rifle, by Checkova Forerunner Concept piece, by StarWarsFanManIn our Miscellaneous Art section, as usual…

Thanks to Pez Mohr, who’s added another mirror for the 120 mb version of the Matrix movie. All current mirrors can be found on the Matrix Mirrors page… and we’ll be adding this movie (and Dan Chosich’s Reminisance) to the Movie Database soon.

New material at Bungie.net… the big one is the Halo Tournament Strategy Guide, written by Yeroen. Lots of goodness here. However, don’t overlook the ubercool desktop (scroll to the very bottom) showing the Legendary Skull you get when you complete a level on Legendary difficulty – in hi-res goodness.

dogsounds sent in another Halo funny – we’ve added it to our Miscellaneous Art section. To put it simply – this guy rocks. (Go visit the website, for more comic goodness… non-Halo-related, but good stuff.)

Fan Fiction submissions are once again light – just one… but it’s a good’un. Vector40 submits ‘The Old Man and the Warrior’. Check it out.

The Matrix movie went live this morning without the usual Psyjnir.com hotline link – apparently, Psyrixx is out of town. It wasn’t clear exactly where… but I think the Psyjnir Webmaster’s Mom is involved (and there was something about email porn links… it’s all rather fuzzy). Anyway, the Webmaster was kind enough to give me…

Whoa. Not too often that Marty O’Donnell is proven wrong in print – but eric has pulled it off. A couple of days ago, he stated that his favorite quote from the Halo dialog archives was ‘What kind of a**wipe are you?’ (a line from one of the underground Engineers on the level Halo). Marty…

In our Movies database, there are over 100 films listed. Almost 70 of them are fan-created… but only a handful of those truly stand out as groundbreakers; BungieLove, Warthog Jump, A**hole, a few others. Well, welcome the next entrant to that elite class: The Matrix (Halo Remix). Bill Paetzke has meticulously recreated the opening scene…

Thursday’s Miscellaneous Art:Checkov’s Elite Drawing – a sketchInfectus, by BOLL – a Half-Life model of a Halo character (minor spoilers here)You’ll find this stuff in our Miscellaneous Art section.

Fan Fiction today consists of one installment – Rise To Honor, part 12, by Shadow. Take a look!

The Tricks queue continues to shrink. It’s not gone yet (by ANY means)… but it’s six tricks lighter. You’ll find these six (ranging from simple stunts to pretty cool explorations) in our Gameplay Tricks section. Another few days of this, and they’ll ALL be processed. (Until the next one comes in…)

Bungie.net has expanded their forum system to allow forums for each 7th Column chapter – if you have a burning desire to chat with your chapter mates, get to building!

The Halo National Tournament just passed 10,000 contestants… wonga. According to Yeroen, that makes this the biggest LAN event ever. 🙂

Artistic submissions today: CrAzYjOhN911 submitted a VERY large scan of a Halo sketch BOLL submitted a modified screenshot using Swedish candy, inspired by this forum thread You can find both in our Miscellaneous Art section.

Heh – The Banners section gets an update… with an HBO banner, no less! Thanks to Mr Bill Jr V for the submission.

I… I… words fail me. (Apologies to Jen Taylor, and smacks around the head and ears for Team Overkill.)

Good lord. (Thanks, mnemesis.)
