Month: January 2003

Yesterday, Warbow put up another installment of Halo Hide-n-Seek; there are three pictures, taken in various places around the Single-player scenario, and your job is to determine where those places are. Full rules are spelled out in the post – forum regulars nailed one of the pics early on, but the other two are still…

Friday’s Fan Fiction offerings:The Legend of Kazak’-Dun Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, by Kane172 Starjacked Part 1, by Dispraiser The Life of a Soldier, by HaloMaster7 (Air) 5 Way War Part II, by Demosthenes Setting the Table, by hornet34 Back to normal volumes…

Heh – you ever find yourself getting a bit loud at a Halo LAN party? Seems like the Penny Arcade boys did… (Thanks to Ross Mills for the heads-up.)

Another couple of pics for you: an image I can’t really explain, and another mock Halo 2 cover. (If you like Halo 2 covers, check out the impromptu Halo 2 Cover challenge currently ongoing on our forum.) Today’s art can be found in our Miscellaneous Art collection.

Ouch. Voodoo Extreme has a poll on their front page – ‘What game are you most looking forward to in 2003?’ (We’re talking PC games here.) Halo PC is showing dismally – it’s currently in 14th place. (Please – if you go vote, do so only once. We’ve had trouble in the past with folks…

Thanks to Dinky, who mirrored the Halo National Championship first semifinal round – if you couldn’t get it from mythica, grab a copy off of HaloJuggaloProductions! (We’ll release the second semifinal round tomorrow, unless another use for our limited movie bandwidth comes up in the meantime.)

Hehe – Cheerio noticed this item on eBay – hurry, you’ve got 8 hours left to buy an advance copy of Halo 2. (Of course, you’ll pay at least $69.99 for it, and there’s absolutely no guarantee you’ll get it any faster than you would by going down to your local EB Games… but hey!…

In late August, 2002, the Halo National Championship was played in Los Angeles. G4 Media, the folks who run the all-gaming cable channel G4tv, filmed it, and on September 20, broadcast it for the first time. A couple of HBO regulars (Asmodeus and Lophan) were kind enough to film this – but we could never…

Matt Purcell dropped off a new desktop for your perusal – you’ll find it in our Wallpaper section.

A couple of Fan Fiction stories built up over the holiday:The Legend of Kazak’-Dun, by Kane172 Halo: The Legacy of the Spartan IIIs Chapter 1, by Kyle/Mutated EliteI guess most writers have been reveling… Update: oops, missed one; Sarge turned in Banserki’s Journal, part 10 yesterday as well.

eva05 noticed a new poll at Gamers.com (bottom of the main page) – ‘Which 2003 Xbox games are you most excited about?’ Halo 2 is currently running away with 52% of the vote…

Fury Three discovered yet another Lego Warthog over at Brickshelf – check out the work of Jeremiah VanderMark. I love the dedication of Lego fanatics. The little painted Master Chief rocks!

To make up for the Metroid vs. Halo train wreck posted earlier, we’d like to present you with Halo-Wannabe’s Official Bungie Illustrated Swimsuit Video. 6.9 mb, 1.45 long, in QuickTime format. Thanks to Brian Towne of Mythica, as usual, for the hosting. Happy New Year!

Matt Purcell has turned in a new Halo banner – originally enormous (far too big for service as a banner, but attractive nonetheless). We’ve scaled it down a bit, but the original is still available from the Banners section.

If this weren’t half a meg, I’d have said forget it… but it’s so bad it’s funny. Check out Wisgary Torres’ Halo vs. Metroid flick – 572k in WMV format. Don’t get mad – we’ll be posting another film in the not-too-distant future.

Grant White sends word that a friend has put together a Warthog mod for Operation Flashpoint: Resistance. You can see a picture of it, and apparently can download the mod, as well – though the download server seems to be offline at the moment. (When it’s up, go to ‘Addons2’ and follow the link for…

Happy New Year, everyone! Got some cleaning up to do – there might be updates later today. (Or maybe not until tomorrow…)
