Month: January 2003

Thanks to both Simon Hill, via email, and Brandon Tyler, on our forum, for the heads-up on Xbox.com’s newest Halo Picture Story. It’s not viewable on a mac, or on some PC configurations, it seems… but the audio works fine. If anyone can get screen captures, we’d be most appreciative…

Not sure how I missed this last night… but Dinky, from HaloJuggaloProductions, has not only posted the HNC final segment for download, he’s sent along a new URL for a flash-based Halo design, and would love feedback on it.

Some mirrors for you: DeaDSwiTcH has made the entire Halo National Championship set available – Round 1, Round 2, and Round 3. At some point, I’ll even add these to the Movies database…

Looking for a challenge? This sounds like fun.

Got a problem with Halo? Red Loser does…

A little sooner than I’d planned to post it – but as I said, I’m headed out. We’ve got the third and final chunk of the Halo National Championship, as televised by G4Tv, up and ready for download. 8:04 long, 31.7 mb big, in QT format. The final 8 play a 50-kill, no-shield slayer match…

Warbow posts Round 2 of his Hide and Seek contest – the rules are a bit different, so check ’em carefully. 5 images this time. Get to it!

It’s possible that more Fan Fiction will be submitted later today, but I’ll be on a plane. For right now, we’ve got Domitri Giovanni’s Starship Daybreak, part 1 for you. Domitri wants to make sure he should submit the rest of the parts, so be sure to comment!

A dark desktop from Professor Keo – check our Wallpaper section.

As much as I realize this might sour the Halo experience for some of you, I feel obligated to post it. David S. notes that the current issue of Rolling Stone magazine has an article on Justin Timberlake, of ‘NSync – apparently, he hurt himself, and he’s been sitting around the house a lot during…

A couple of days ago, we posted a wallpaper from Lexicus, which also acted as a teaser for the trophy for a then-upcoming fragfest. The contest is now over (won by Nate)… Lexicus has sent in an image of the trophy. Nice!

A couple of weeks ago, we reported about a Covenant model for the game Jedi Knight II – and yesterday, Darth Epy0n sent in a few in-game shots of this mod in action. Check ’em out to see what a Cov elite might look like in a different game…

Ross Mills, putting together the work of three forumgoers, posts the solution to Warbow’s Hide-and-Seek puzzle mentioned a couple of days ago. Read Warbow’s confirmation here.

Dan Chosich, who has already proven his abilities as a Halo filmmaker, has decided to release another teaser for his upcoming Halo50K trailer. You can find links in this forum post.

Geez, forgot… Dinky has mirrored the second Halo National Championship Semifinal, as well – you can find it on HaloJuggaloProductions.

Part Two – with a side of fries. The second (of 2) semifinal round of the Halo National Championship is now online. 6:53 long, 26.9 mb big, in QuickTime 5 format… 8 more competitors, plus Chris Carney and Hamilton Chu from Bungie, giving you some background on the game. Major props once again to Bigsauce,…

Okay, the plan had been to release one segment of this program every couple of days; the first one was released on Thursday. However, yesterday we were contacted by one of the competitors, Bigsauce, who provided us with much higher quality mpeg versions of the films. (G4 provided these files to all competitors.) I’m currently…

Seen over at Battleground: Halo – a new Halo site has come online. Halo World is still under construction, but the content is beginning to fill in. (There hasn’t been a Halo website by that name since Cyberbob’s German site went under more than 2 years ago.)

A pretty nice collection of desktop images for you today – whether you’re looking for something artistic, or lighthearted, or something in between, there are five new images which should give you something to play with. You’ll find ’em in our Wallpaper section.
