Year: 2003

Last of the Half-Life trilogy on One One Se7en. Pax.

A few days ago, The Invisable O posted a challenge on the forum: Has anyone ever mapped the entire inner surface of Halo? BOLL took him up on it, and managed to capture some great images of the ring, which he posted in the original thread, along with additional images and explanation. Every time someone…

Subnova, one of our primary movie mirrors, and who also shoulder some of our server-side processing, has run into trouble with their SQL server. The shared news search feature should still be working, but all movies hosted there are down. Unfortunately it looks like this will be a long downtime, as the message says. (If…

What is the hidden significance of the seven pieces of fan fiction? D-Day II, Part One, by Hunter_Killer Return to Earth (Chptr 1: Attacked), by CoLd BlooDed Delta Squadron: Chapter One; Delta Squadron, by Steele Its Just One of Those Days (Prologue: 03), by Elfster A John Before Halo: The Invaision Begins (Part 3), by…

One last movie, before I go: This one’s from MaverickJ, and it’s called Oddball Tactics, part 1. It’s 9.9 mb, in QuickTime format. (You can also find it, in WMP9 format, on Maverick’s Project Spartan site.) It shows you a bunch of slick tricks you can use to gain the upper hand in a Team…

We’ve put up a mirror page for the Sidewinder Saga, because it was getting confusing figuring out where (outside of the Halogamers.com home site) you could get the various movies. Thanks to Team Ice for their mirroring help – as an aside, Blade has also posted the Halo 2 Announcement trailer and The E3 Demo…

Xbox Ottawa has put up #4 of their FTC vid series. Ex-Special Ops, huh? Current version of this one (3:38 long) is 23.6 mb, in DivX 5 AVI format… but they might have a slightly smaller QuickTime version up in the not-too-distant future.

Four Miscellaneous Art pieces for you – there’s no one-liner I can think of that describes them all, so just go look.

A couple of interesting (and colorful) desktops today in the Wallpaper section. Check ’em out!

11 Fan Fiction bits for you today. Running Riot- Part 1, by Simon James Shadow Spartans, Chatper 4: The Running Prophet, by Agent Shade and Arinoth Koby The Homecoming – Part 1, by Tim Ricciardello Running Riot-Part 2, by Simon James The Fall of Fate: Raid (10), by ‘Nosolee A Final Shot – Part 2,…

After a long span with no entries, we received another submission for the Halo 2 disk cover collection. Good to know folks are still thinking about cover art!

Derek Brown is starting up a new site called haloevents – he’s hoping to create a database of upcoming Halo events around the nation. Visitors will be able to search this database for events near them. This requires input from you; the more events submitted to this site, the more people who will come to…

IGN PC wraps up its week-long Halo PC coverage with two new articles; a general one is available to all readers, and gets a few last answers out of Randy Pitchford, and a more specialized, Insider-only one contains a 78 mb, 7:48 video interview with Pitchford. There’s a lot of feel-good discussion about Halo, and…

voX has put up the first of 5 pieces of a new series, called The Two Betrayels (sic) at his site, Halo2. The trailer is quite short (33 seconds), but sets the stage for another nicely filmed movie. (5.3 mb, DivX 4 avi) I’ve gotta say, I really appreciate what Red vs Blue has done…

Jake ‘Evergreen98’ Billo, over at the Junkyard, is taking a pretty close look at the PC version of Halo, comparing what’s in it to what’s in the Xbox version, and helping you decide where YOU want to be playing once it’s out. It’s a three part article – Part one is up right now. Thanks…

Never got a movie up at Mythica yesterday, and dang, if the bandwidth usage didn’t drop below 7 Mbit/sec. The inside of the pipe’s gonna start feeling lonely – not enough bits passing through! Next up is a movie we should have posted a while ago; it seems to have gotten slightly lost. This film…

We don’t do this very much… but then, b.org staffers don’t have babies that often. Lophan hasn’t been around much in the past year… but this is one of the things he’s been working on. Brandon Jennings was born on Wednesday morning, in Doylestown, PA – and Loph is already looking for an S-controller that…

These came in yesterday, but life got busy. Owm88 submitted three new dialogue snippets for the Dialogue Databank; I actually haven’t heard any of these in-game. I’m not sure how submissions are going to work in the next week; I’m on vacation, and I’m not sure I’ve made a decent-enough interface for the other guys…

In under the wire… Friday’s One One Se7en continues the Gordon Freeman lovefest. Wonga.

Last night, broony pointed out new renders and concept art at Bungie’s Tru7h and Reconciliation site. I didn’t have time to look for ’em… but he was right. (Last four images on the Renders page, last image on the Concept Art page.) Thanks also to Iceman1330, whose post today made me actually go looking for…
