Year: 2003

Today’s Guest One One Se7en was sent in by Chaos Ferret, and looks at the better part of valo(u)r… or maybe it’s something else. Hmm…

Lightweight Fan Fiction update today… The Rise of Humanity: Part 1 (Revised!), by [ridiculous combination of non-printable characters deleted] Fight or Flight: Chapter 6 (The Big Boom), by teemus Fight or Flight: Part Seven (Final Finish), by teemus MSOG: Chapter 6: Pilot and Escape, by Sprtn117John MSOG: Chapter 7: Violence begets violence, by Sprtn117John Shadow…

Two new movies over at HaloGT today; Rocketopia is mostly just a warthog jump vid, but near the end there’s some cool weapons-crossing-glitching going on. The other one… well, you gotta watch it. Maybe you’ll get it. Forum thread for comments is here.

Awful timing indeed, on my carelessness… Monday’s One One Se7en introduced yet ANOTHER new character. Keep an eye on this one – they say that old ones can be wiley.

Eep – for the first time in a very long time, I forgot about the comic updates yesterday. First up – Halo: Resolution, which continues to have n00b problems.

Wondering where the Halo PC 1.03 patch is? Cysco posted a note on the Gearbox forums stating that it was delayed a day, and will be out Tuesday, December9; the Dedicated Server will be released in the morning, and the client patch will go live in the afternoon. Thanks to -BERZERKER-, on our forum, and…

Stuntmutt sent along a sort of visual FAQ about what ‘on the subject of art’ might be interpreted as, for those confused about the Plinth of Art. If you’re stuck, check it out. (Remember, there’s over a month before your entries are due; don’t panic if you’ve already sent something you’re not happy with. There…

Whoa. The Battlefield 1942 mod ‘Homefront’ (mentioned a few times in our news) is almost ready for release… and it’s looking pretty good! There’s a 36 mb movie (encoded with XVid) available for download, and some hi-res screenshots, all over at the Homefront site. (Thanks to Ross Mills for pointing it out on our forum.)

Press release is right here… but the bottom line is, the Macintosh version of Halo went into duplication late Friday night, December 5th. It’ll be hitting store shelves soon! Mac owners… it’s time to see if you can keep up with your PC brethren.

Massive Halo Story update last night – apologies for overlooking it before now. Some serious information in this one – there’s more tying-together of disparate posts happening these days. Thanks, Finn!

Thanks to PC, who pointed out that gfunk, of Red vs Blue, has put up a note on the main page that he’ll be interviewed on a Santa Cruz radio station this morning at 10 am PST. (That’s 1 pm Eastern, or 6 pm UTC – 2.5 hours from now.) There’s a link to an…

SeeMePlayMe is hosting another online Halo tournament tonight; 2v2 team play, with a SMPM Gold Account in store for the winners. Be in the Halo lobby by 7 pm Central to join in!

sir_zyn posted a note on our forum this weekend about a 2d Halo project he and some friends have started. A screenshot is linked at the bottom of the post. Take a look, leave them input!

Rams, from Battleground: Halo, writes to say that they’ll be adding two new feature articles each week, on Mondays and Thursdays. They start off with Two Betrayals, dealing with the team-killing problem in Halo PC. They’ve also organized the existing collection of articles already on the site. Finally, they’re accepting guest articles if anyone would…

Yes, we released over 30 new One One Se7en strips to the Archive today… but that doesn’t mean the standard collections stand still. Stuntmutt created a new Sunday Strip and even introduced a new character – maybe we need to rename this website?

Light weekend reading – just 13 stories today in the Fan Fiction section: Manors Maketh Man: Part 1, by S7N MSOG: Chapter 5: Surprises and Plans, by Sprtn117John The Trials of a Displaced Master Chief Chapter 1: Ritchie, by stan Appocalypse-Sector6, by FF Echo The Eve of Genesis, by Mainevent Earth’s Destruction Chapter 3: Glassed,…

As promised, the One One Se7en Archive gets updated today… and a pretty massive update it is. 31 strips. Some came from the Guest queue voluntarily, some were moved there by the management, some are strips posted to our forum, and some have simply been submitted to the Archive. Six are from Stuntmutt himself. If…

Last year, Bungie.org ran the Pillar of Art contest, where we solicited traditional-media artwork from Bungie fanatics. With $500 in cash, plus oodles of schwag (and some pretty cool stuff straight from Bungie), we were assured of fierce competition. We brought out the best in people… but for some, the best wasn’t good enough. Never…

Gamespy’s 2003 Gamers Choice poll is up and running, and Halo PC is a contender for PC Action Game of the Year and Overall PC Game of the Year. Go vote! (Thanks to Dinky for the heads-up.)

Today’s Guest One One Se7en comes from Jillybean, and once again makes fun of long waiting times for guest submissions. This seems to have been significantly reduced by the advent of the Archive, since Jilly didn’t expect this strip to show before the new year… still funny, though.
