Year: 2003

The second of Stuntmutt’s Christmas-themed One One Se7en episodes is up… and he’s STILL taking shots at poor Halo PC. Ouch.

Narcogen has posted the second of his Narc’s Retorts over on Rampancy.net; this one is titled ‘A Christmas Wish To Bungie’. It’s long… very long… but boils down to a hope that access to raw XBL statistics will be possible in the future. (I’m pretty sure it’s a hope with a chance of being answered.)…

Today’s Halo: Resolution continues the holiday theme… sort of. Gettin’ funky…

A massive CPL report was posted over at Bungie.net earlier… somehow I missed it. 🙁 A good read; congrats to the winners! Go check it out. (Thanks to Hamid Djangi for poking me.)

Back in June, The Discovery Channel aired a special called ‘The X Factor’ (we posted a press release for it on June 16). Since then, it’s aired a number of times (and, indeed, will air again, on Discovery Times, this morning, at 2 am, and again tomorrow, Christmas Day, at 10 am and 6 pm)…

MoCt wrote to point out that his Halo clan site has a bunch of movie downloads available. It’s HPC footage in WMV format… quite a bit of it. Take a look!

It’s not going to be as regular as our other comics, but Warbow shows no sign of slowing down… yet. Calvin and Halo, episode 12, has been posted – and it definitely got a laugh out of me!

Seventeen entries for you today in the Fan Fiction database: The War Within, by Dustin Jake A Model IV Chapter Two: Broken Men, by Slipping Knot The Second War: Prolouge (My triumphant comeback!!), by FOrunnER Foregoing the Experience, by Mainevent Fight for New Tatley Finale (Chapter 9: Saving New Tatley), by CoLd BlooDed Old Style:…

IGN put up part two of their Halo vs Halo 2 comparison (part 1 went up on Saturday). It’s still Insider-only, but you have the option of downloading just the second part, or the whole thing (133 mb in 640×480 format). Thanks to caudronix for the heads-up.

MC gets lost in today’s Guest One One Se7en. Hmm…

(GT)Juggler has put up another glitch film, his fifth. Brings back memories of the golden age of Halo tricksterism (early 2002) – I don’t think there are any NEW glitches here, but they’re put together nicely, and for folks who haven’t been around for years, it’s a great overview. 16.6 mb, in QuickTime format. Grab…

Wonga. SparkEdit 2.5 has been released; it now supports model viewing, object property viewing, BSP mesh property viewing, object rotation, and more. Grenadiac posted a screenshot on our forum – looks great! (Supports Xbox and Halo PC.)

MaverickJ came back to our forum to point out the Halo Nationals, a $10,000 contest taking place in late February in Philadelphia. The money sounds great; that $10k is GUARANTEED, no matter how many teams show up. Entrance fees get ADDED to it, so the more teams that enter, the more money there is to…

Halo Babies is back up! Bandwidth restrictions have lifted a bit, so there’s a strip today, and there’ll be another on Friday. There’s also a PayPal link, if you want to help out with their moving costs… The strip itself is Christmas-themed… and a harbinger of things to come. Ouch!

Man, I wish there were a faster way to handle this stuff… but there isn’t. I’ve cleared out the Wallpaper queue; there are 20 new desktops (more, if you count variants) in the database today. Some of these are simply gorgeous. Check ’em out!

Lotus222 reminded us that MacGamer’s Giveaway from last week (3 copies of Halo to the best three ‘Master Chief goes to Hollywood’ photoshop jobs) has been completed. After seeing the winners, I’m wishing I’d finished my ‘Enter the Master Chief’ pic…

Gre’Thor117 submitted a new film; it splices concept art and Halo 2 footage together with EdgeN’s recent Halo music in a pleasing manner. It’s entitled ‘Halo: Master and Chief’ (just like the soundtrack it uses), weighs in at 8.7 mb in WMP9 format, and is being graciously hosted by Coerce.net (look for big things coming…

Rams, over at Battleground: Halo, has put up another edition of the Rams Report; this one looks at the handling of Halo PC since its release. I actually disagree with most of his conclusions, though he does raise some very valid points. (He also looks at the Halo comic scene, but I hesitate to comment…

The World Cyber Games website is soliciting input from gamers for the Official Game Events for the WCG 2004, and Halo is among the list of games up for consideration. To vote, visit the website, and follow the large blue ‘Official Game Events Selection for the WCG 2004’ banner in the top middle of the…

Geoff Fink (gfunk) and Gus Sorola (guS) , of Red vs Blue, have been interviewed over at machinima.com today; if you’re interested about how they got their start, and where they’re going, go read this! Thanks to Hugh Hancock for the heads-up.
