Year: 2003

Gonna try and clear out the art queue today. First up: desktop images. We’ve got 7 for you – you’ll find ’em in the Wallpaper section.

Fan Fiction from the weekend:Old Memories, Forgotten Weaknesses, New Strengths, by AlphaBravo343 Last stand part 3, by grylsy A Single Motion: part 2, by Arthur Wellesly fallen angel 10: Ground, by Gruntkiller/Covert Just Getting Started Chapter Three, by James Kinsella Halo: Law & Order (Part 2 of 3) , by el_halo_diablo Part I:The GHOSTs, by…

Both 2 and 2 make 5, over at Subnova, and Doggone, on our own forum, have cleaned up the recently unearthed (but damaged) front cover for GURPS Halo. Check the pics out, and speculate away!

Oops, forgot this one – Sector7, which opened a while back, then died, is back online. Or… at least, it’s supposed to be. (All I get is a flash animation of the title…)

guy who doesn’t post… too often wanted to point out his Halo site. Take a look.

Team Overkill is the first to post a summary of the Dead Rabbits event that happened here at HBO Headquarters yesterday. (They won’t be the last, I don’t think…) It’s a good read, and covers the spirit of the day pretty well. I’ll say it was an honor to be killed so many times by…

Hehe – nice pickup by oddworld – this week’s Photoshop Phriday at Something Awful contains a pretty nice Halo parody. Check it out!

Another day… another lanfest in the past. Apologies for the sparse updating yesterday, but there were 26 Halo fanatics here yesterday, from as far south as mid-New Jersey and as far north as the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border… 5 states were represented, and the carnage was nonstop. Mostly the games were just for the heck of…

News will be sparse today… Dead Rabbits kicks off in less than 2 hours. 30 Halo fanatics, all crammed into my house, shooting each other and making the dogs crazy. Should be fun!

Seven new stories for you in the Fan Fiction section:The Entar Chronicles part 1, by Locke Ishkabibbl’s Story Part 5, by Ishkabibbl Chapter 9-Ridley, by Ultra Sonic 007 CR.03: Chaotic Reign .03, by TheRedFaction A Forerunner Tale Part 2: The Decision, by nicholas The Tour (1st half of Final Chapter), by Traumatised Marine The Tour…

StarWarsFanMan points out that his new movie project, ‘Halo: Large Scale Warfare’, is now online at The Green Marines. Check it out… he’s looking for feedback!

Hehe – Cybrfrk found a pair of web comics from last year that everyone here seems to have missed. Check out TrueNuff for January 9, 2002, followed by January 11, 2002. Now THERES a Halo fan. 🙂

Finn, in a frightening display of work ethic (and not a little cruelty, leaving mnemesis with nothing to do), has updated the Halo Story page with a mind-numbingly large array of speculations, comments, and pictures from the peanut gallery. If you’re even slightly interested in the Halo storyline, you’ll want to read this.

Fan Fiction submissions in the past day or so:Ishkabibbl’s Story Part 4, by Ishkabibbl Halo: FotF (Final Chapter), by Frensa Geran Chapter 8-Rescue Op, by Ultra Sonic 007 Halo 2: Revenge of a Spartan, chapter 4, by LostRock Ishkabibbl’s Story Part 4, by Ishkabibbl Pointless Battle, by Jeff Graham Halo: Captain Keyes Story Part 1,…

Thanks to the literally dozens of folks who pointed out the article at IGN Xbox listing the actual details of the Brute Force Companion DVD Set. The first word of this actually came from Dan Chosich, on our forum – and in response to some speculation of mine, Matt Soell confirmed that there’s nothing in…

Interesting. Looks like poena.dare came into posession of an interesting Bungie webcam shot recently… details are over at Bungie Sightings. Thanks to Ross Mills for the heads-up. (Shame on you, pd, for not letting us know!)

Three images languishing in our inbox for too long; a mockup of an Xbox cover, a tribute to Super-Issy, and an illustration of a scene from one of our Fan Fiction entries. All three can be found in our Miscellaneous Art section. (More artwork coming later.)

Not sure if this’ll kill the link… but Foginator has put together a nice little gameplay vid on The Silent Cartographer; you can find it linked from this forum post. (To be fair, if we overwhelm the mac.com site it’s hosted on, we’ll give it a new home…) It weighs in at over 17 mb,…

The Misc Art collection is still behind (hopefully soon, I’ll put up the stuff that’s here), but Fan Fiction continues apace:Halo:The Rise of the Star God Parts 1-9, by Cristian Arnautu Assault on Edina 4 (Conclusion), by Steele Ishkabibbl’s Story Part 3, by Ishkabibbl Chapter 2 & Chapter 3, by Jerry Hughart A Single Motion:…

There’s a new egg hunt that is underway. When the community knocks its collective head together, it hurts… but we also get quite a bit done, dontcha’ think? I just hope it doesn’t involve PVC vinyl.
