Year: 2002

  • The Visual Comments

    Submitted artwork over the past couple of days… JangoMaster126 turns in a minimalist Halo 2 case, Mr. Lolly Pop Man composites a nice Halo montage (full of spoilers), and Andrew Katz takes another stab at the Spartan II logo described in the Fall of Reach. You can find all three images in our Miscellaneous Art…

  • Project Mjolnir shuts down

    Whoa – long break for me. Felt good. 🙂 Back in the saddle, bit in my mouth… Miguel Chavez points out that the guys who were planning to build a Mjolnir Mark VI suit have given up. Bummer… but then, it was a rather ambitious project.

  • What you DON’T want on your table…

    Heh – I had every intention of taking the whole day off… but I came down to check for email from a couple of guests, and I saw this Thanksgiving offering from Doggone. I couldn’t pass it up. Enjoy the day, everyone!

  • Always Read Before Eating

    Just a couple of new Fan Fiction pieces for you this evening:The Collective, by Gasmask Halo 2: A New Hope, Part 4, by SephirothAnd with that, I’ll wish you a Happy Turkey Day, and bid you adeiu for a bit…

    Tuesday’s Fan Fiction offering: TOUCHDOWN, by John Tabat Halo: Standing Firm, part 2, by Xzilen Fafnir, part 11, by KnightmareWolf Shadows of Archon II, part 29, by WadoSome of you may have noticed that there was some confusion with Fafnir chapters 9 and 10 – I managed to overwrite the comments for chapter 9 accidentally.…

  • Pictures

    It’s a snowy morning here at HBO HQ (there are almost 10 inches on the ground, and it’s still coming down) – but the fan submissions continue. A pair of images for you in our Miscellaneous Art collection…

  • The Dream Team… aptly named

    Curious about who won the AGP Tournament that took place last weekend? Wonder no longer – the full scoop can be found over at Bungie’s Tru7h and Reconciliation site. HP Darkman, the winner of the Halo National Championship, anchored the winning team… but check out all the details!

  • Clearing out the backlog – again

    In a perfect world, new items we mention on our news page would be added to the various subsections of the site as we get them. In real life, though, I neglect to actually make those secondary additions until someone complains that they can’t find some relatively new item. The Miscellaneous section and the Movies…

  • Screens and more

    Last week, Bungie posted an article on the Tru7h and Reconciliation website called ‘Designing for Carnage’, which looked at 3 multiplayer maps and how they were developed. We’ve added the 15 images (screenshots, 3D Studio Max views, and sketches) to our Screenshots database. For posterity, and all that.

  • Hate that loser table…

    Stosh is really turning ’em out… the third ‘blam’ comic was sent to us recently. You’ll find it in our Miscellaneous Art section. (There are some comments about it on Stosh’s Blam website.)

  • Lightning Speed

    A couple of weeks ago, a suggestion came up that it might be fun to see how fast folks could run through the various levels of Halo. Travis Cossel, Halo moviemaker, has taken up the challenge – and has created a Seventh Column chapter devoted to the cause. Visit Halo@LightningSpeed and check up on the…

  • Starry Starry Cartographer

    Team Overkill drops off a Van Gogh-ized version of a Halo screenshot for our Miscellaneous Art collection. (It pulled an ‘A’ in the class it was turned in for.)

  • Less email, not more – really

    A few days ago, Blackstar updated his ‘Halo: The Movie Q & A’ with some additional information about international folks and assorted sundries. Please, read it and stop emailing him. 🙂 (Thanks to Phoenix155 for the heads-up.)

  • Start the week reading

    Monday’s Fan Fiction allotment:Halo 2: A New Hope, Part 3, by Sephiroth Origins, by Gasmask The Jump, Part II, by Stefano Scalia The Jump, Part II is dedicated to the author’s friend Ken, who died recently in a car accident. Our sympathies… Update – oops, forgot one; Cameron Eades’ Halo: Combat Evolved, chapter 2. Sorry…

  • Cov Elite skin for Jedi Knight II

    Undaunted by the lack of responses the first time round, Darth Epy0n posted a link to a Jedi Knight II skin download a second time today – and I have to admit, the preview looks pretty dang good. If you play Jedi Knight II, go visit the downloads page at JediKnightII.net and grab this 2.5…

  • Latest Egg added

    The easter egg discovered this weekend has been documented for the Halo Easter Egg page; thanks once again to everyone who contributed. I’ve taken the liberty of using the screenshots posted by 2 and 2 make 5 for documentation; if this is a problem, I’ll replace them with copies I create myself. (Hopefully, it won’t…

  • Improving on masterpieces

    Eric Redmond and Skeletor have both submitted modifications of desktops available at Bungie’s Tru7h and Reconciliation website – both contain game spoilers. You can find the new work in our Wallpaper section.

  • Playin’ with da MC

    A pair of modified images from Eric Redmond have been added to the Miscellaneous Art section.

  • Do they even HAVE kneecaps?

    Eep – almost forgot to post this! In response to the Great Egg Hunt (sad, sort of, to call it that, given that it was all for one egg, and not even a knock-your-socks-off one… but hey, we’ll do better next time), bikeman704 got desperate. You’ll find his (spoiler-laden) evidence in our Miscellaneous Art section.
