    The year is winding down, and for some of you it’s already 2004. For me it’s not, so I’d like to take the opportunity to wish all of you a most joyous new year. For some reason I’ve been especially nostalgic of late (I blame Wu’s work on library.bungie.org which makes it easier to go…

    Not living up to your full carnage potential? Never fear, Bungie is here! SketchFactor checks in over on Bungie.Net with Sketch’s Halo Mac/PC Players Companion Volume 1. There’s a lot of good info in there, people, so give it a good read!

    Ack! Bungie Comics has been updated with a new strip! Also, check out the small article with a few tidbits of info about Frankie (who wrote the strip), and elusive artist Zoë. Next week? Hmmm…

    As we wrap up 2003, the MC is desperately trying to find a New Year’s date in today’s One One Se7en. What an opportunist…

    And, of course, the day wouldn’t be complete without a new One One Se7en. So! Day’s over, apparently!

    Apparently, “comics,” inspired by Halo, are all the rage right now. Here’s a new Halo: Resolution to start your day off with a smile. A tiny, pixelated smile. I think.

    Ah. Well, okay. Here’s one of those update-thingies that Wu usually does. These would be Fan Fiction er, things, so go ahead and read ’em! Okay. So there you go.

    Got a chance to log in to the net for the first time in a couple of days… and I discovered that some of the update tools I left for the other maintainers are… well, busted. Here’s Sunday’s One One Se7en, created by kubix; hopefully, it won’t be the last one you see this week.…

    Final post from me, before leaving for the airport: today’s Guest One One Se7en comes from puma (now known as someone else on our forum). To get the context, you need to go back a couple of months…

    Continuing the clearout trend (well, ending it for now), here are 7 desktops submitted to the Wallpaper section in the last few days. This is the last image update for a week or so. If you submit content in the next few days, it’ll get dealt with… but not until early January. Enjoy!

    We cleared the Miscellaneous Art queue yesterday… but there was a new submission that is worth getting out there. Germain Couët submitted the second of his ‘Hiding Spartans’ images; it’s a shot with 5 hidden Spartans in it, and it’s up to you to find them. There aren’t any prizes, it’s just fun!

    A small Fan Fiction update – but it’s my last for a while, so I figured that clearing the queue made sense. (There will continue to be updates in my absence… but maybe not as frequently.) Six pieces for you today: Spartan-X Chapters 2 &3, by SilentStrider Halo Zero 2 / p9 / Lost Cause?,…

    Accelerate Your Mac has reviewed Mac Halo – the single-player part of it, anyway. Again, one of the biggest complaints is system requirements… but this reviewer was also unhappy about the speed with which he mastered the game. (I’d guess he ran through on Normal, and hasn’t figured out yet that Legendary is an entirely…

    Cowled_Wolfe created a small, soundless stop-action movie with Halo action figures… he submitted it in WMV format (243K), but you can also grab a QuickTime version (256K) if you’d rather. He says a longer one (3 minutes, maybe), with sound and a better framerate, is in the works. Comments can go in this forum thread.

    Hehe – yesterday, we posted a news article about a new poll being run by CobaltNova (the 7th Column chapter), looking for predictions about 2004. I wondered, at the time, if this was an interesting way to re-enter the Halo community after the sudden shutdown of operations last month – and an entry by CobaltNova…
