Month: December 2003

Halo Universe has a fun puzzle posted right now; It’s Flash-based, and takes 10 screenshots and breaks them up into smaller squares. You have to put them back together in the right order. The game is timed, and I think this may be part of the problem; I tried to finish it, but got stuck…

Chris Bryan sent along a picture of the gloves for his MC Suit we mentioned yesterday; they’re looking pretty slick! We’ve added it to the page we put together for this project.

Edge_343 popped onto our forum yesterday to ask if anyone had ever gotten a Warthog into the final cutscene of Two Betrayals. I told him that, to the best of my knowledge, nobody had ever filmed this before, so he sent us some footage. 7.7 mb, QuickTime format; it shows how the hog was pushed…

One One Se7en, as well, begins a Christmas week… though we can’t say it’s with a ‘bang’. More like a ‘rimshot’.

Today’s Halo: Resolution is the first in a week’s worth of Christmas-themed strips… enjoy!

More tower building… nukedude posted a boatload of pictures (and links to more) showing some fun cooperative play on the HBO servers last night. Good to see folks are still working together!

In what is becoming a holiday tradition, the Halo Story page has put up a Bungie/b.org collaboration to celebrate the season. Follow the thumbnail link to find a unique piece of artwork combining the artistic skills of Lorraine ‘mehve’ McLees and the poetic prowess of our own Finn. It’s our gift to you – thanks…

For those interested in that astounding Nightmare Armor we’ve mentioned a couple of times recently… Webshift posted a note saying that they’ve put prices up for the individual pieces. Take a look!

Took a little while… but the Dialogue Databank has been updated with almost 50 new snippets. Some are simply cleaner replacements for older entries… but 44 of them are brand-spanking-new. 43 of those come from Captain Spark, and the last one comes from Patrick Naedele, who submitted a slowed-down, reversed jackal recording with a clear…

Since Halo PC was released, some people have had problems with the game spontaneously dumping them off a server. TURBO posted a solution that worked for him; he had a Linksys router, and once the router’s firmware was updated, the problem went away. There is at least one datapoint that suggests this is more than…

c0ld vengeance has posted solutions for the HBO Xmas Puzzle Carnage quiz. It was actually won several days ago, but the puzzles were left online for anyone who wanted to try and solve them for fun. And now the results have been posted for any frustrated souls that couldn’t get through one part or another.

Only 13 entries in the Fan Fiction database today: Battle for the Norah: Part Twelve, by Sterfrye36 An Even War:Part 3:Victory , by D4rgant Just One More Chance, by Sentinel Old Style: Revelations, by Horror Lightning Strike: The White Sar Reinforcements ride in, by Booney ES05 – Eternal Sunder (part 05): The Eye of Time…

Now, I’m not saying Stuntmutt is prescient or anything… but he submitted this One One Se7en Sunday strip without knowing that it would air mere hours after I went to see this play, which actually USED that quote. (My guess is, poor Mr. Rumsfeld will be living that quote down for a LOONNGG time.) Of…

Warbow, while disavowing any similarity with the production excesses of One One Se7en, has submitted a Sunday Calvin and Halo for today. I can’t even give him a hard time about it, because the sentiment of the strip is so spot-on.

For some time, we’ve been getting astounding material from Chris Bryan – you can see some of it in our Miscellaneous Art section, and you can check out his working Halo 2 Battle Rifle. For the last couple of months, he’s been working on a wearable Master Chief suit, and we’ve finally gotten around to…

Today’s Guest One One Se7en comes from Lt Devon, and blames US for the ninja conflagration that is Halo 2. Hrm.

(GT)Juggler has posted a new movie on his site – this one’s called ‘Car Bombing (Random Insanity)’, and weighs in at 14.2 mb. It’s a 2:09 long story of a guy who goes to work, then gets blown up when he leaves for home. Feel free to add comments to this forum thread.

I’ve seen this done on Xbox, when you get a dozen people together in one room, on a closed system… but never over the internet, on an open server. Kudos to the obsessives who made this happen.

IGN has put up the first part of a video comparison between Halo and Halo 2, for Insiders (part 2 will be posted next week). It’s 55 mb at 640×480, or 33 mb at 400×300. It shows side-by-side analogues from each engine, pointing out how Halo 2 improves on the original. (The one mistake I…

T3muJin wrote to us to ask us to get the word out; apparently, The Stronger Than All League stated if enough interest was shown in Halo PC, they would start a league for the game. If you’re interested in a league where you can play on set nights and times (as opposed to the random…
