Month: March 2003

  • Banner section updated

    A new HBO-themed banner has been submitted to our Banners section…

  • Under the Icons

    A pair of desktops for you today – black Halo. Check out the Wallpaper section.

  • Fanfest? mmm…

    Bungie Fanfest 2003? Cybrfrk noticed that the Bungie Webcam has changed to a closeup of the white (paper?) that’s been in the left of the frame for days… is this a preview of the invite that will go out for, say, a fanfest that might be linked to E3 2003?

  • Fans – they’re what make this game tick.

    Couple of totally random images for you today – Wraith0x (winner of the Silliest Email Address Ever award) sent in this single webcam frame, captured last friday when Cortana stopped by the Bungie offices. And James Loosli, headed to a color guard competition (as he says, “think hundreds of girls in spandex”), made up a…

  • BG: Off the table for off-the-map

    To all the people who have suddenly begun to send us ‘new ways out of Blood Gulch’ (after months of silence on the subject, we’ve gotten half a dozen messages in the past few days, from different people): The top of Blood Gulch is COMPLETELY tapped out, tricks-wise. To get out, you can use a…

  • Halo Ringtone – Deluxe

    Wow. If you’ve got a phone with a polyphonic ringer, check this out. (Even if you don’t, listen to the midi file. It’s pretty dang impressive.) Thanks to Team Overkill for the heads-up.

  • Jimmies and a lobster bib?

    There’s another Dogsounds Art Challenge brewing on our forum. Rules are here. (At some point soon, we’ll put up a page of the submissions to his first challenge – but as far as I can tell, he moved the deadline back because he hadn’t gotten around to entering himself, so it’s not quite over.)

  • The last of the stories – for a while.

    Here is the last Fan Fiction update until I can get a user-operated form up and running. Luckily, it’s a huge number of stories – should keep you busy for a while.Jackal Interview, by Gasmask Earth: A Halo Tale, part 4, by Nike Changes Two, by Mark Boone Justification Pt. IV, by Rixor The Enigma…

  • Do not submit any more fan fiction. Thank you.

    I give up. Fiction is now coming in faster than I can actually process it. As of this moment (timestamp on this article), the fan fiction section is closed. Stories received before this point (and I think we’re up to 18, in the past 48 hours) will be processed sometime tomorrow morning (by 17:00 utc).…

  • Glitches – still out there!

    Whoa. The Trickstering continues. Two new tricks have popped up on our forum today – NJ_HitMan found a place on top of 343GS where the player becomes invisible, seen from the point of view of his coop partner (details and a movie in this thread, and more details in this one) – and xbill, long…

  • New Desktop Goodies at B.net

    Posted last night – Bungie.net has updated their Wallpapers section to include a cool new desktop that uses the image that will be found on the new Halo novel to be released next month. (The original artwork can also be found in the Gallery.) Of course, if you’re still trying to avoid spoilers, don’t look…

  • Another Framework mirror, and a new hacking vid

    Dinky has added a mirror for the small version of the Halo50K Framework film at HaloJuggaloProductions – and because the mirrors have handled the strain, we’re going to continue with the clearing of the movie queue. First up is a film submitted about a month ago (yes, it’s been a while) – it’s called Hackin…

  • Hmm… Ultimate Halo Companion?

    Johnny points out an interesting product at EB Games – preorder Brute Force, and you’ll receive a free Ultimate Halo Companion DVD Set. There’s a picture of the product (mirrored locally in case it disappears)… but no description. If we find out what this is, we’ll let you know!

  • Blam comics

    Stosh has put up a new comic at blam.moap.net – I hope this one doesn’t prove to be true. (There’s also another Halo-related one that I hadn’t seen before…)
