A week and a half ago, we mentioned a Halo card game – now there’s a second one. Sarge Rules points out his website for it – check out ‘Phoenix Sanction’.

SniPeR and -nEo-Atomic have put together a short film called ‘Cold Metal Flat Pedal’, which shows some warthog flipping stunts. We’ve chosen not to host it, but forum regular BOLL has kindly stepped up for this one. (Get it soon; it might get pulled during school hours in Sweden, which start at maybe 4 am…

The 67th Raptors have gone live with their website, dedicated to the only operational Halo 2 clan out there. (There was an earlier one, but they’ve already disbanded, it seems.) Taking a page from Bungie themselves, color-wise, they’ve put together a pretty spiffy site – check ’em out!

Well, Mythica’s back down to it’s standard 5 Mbit/sec serving rate, so the Birds spike is over; time for the NEXT movie. This one’s from Mister E, and it’s called ‘Timing’. The theme is exactly that – there are lots of ‘kill and then die’ sequences, with some very nice integration with the trance-like music.…

Well, this one’s out of order, a little… but we’re having trouble contacting the next guy on the list. Hickadam, shown in the past to have a pretty amazing sense of timing, has come up with a new movie. It’s called ‘Birds’, and it looks at some of the most loveable creatures in Halo. The…

Two movies hosted by Nukedude – there’s a mirror of the recently released Lethal Rage, and a movie by forumgoer Danny, showing gameplay on Blood Gulch. Thanks, Nukedude!

Three new banners from our own Cybrfrk – two large and one small, all in the Banners section.

The miscellaneous artwork submission is smaller than the desktop one today; just one image. Again, there was more, but it came unattributed. Nothing we can do with it… Anyway, check the Miscellaneous Art section for BOLL’s fun take on what to do about lamers…

The desktop art has been building up for a few days; this week was spent working on getting ready for E3. However, we’re clearing the inbox today. We’ve got seven for you… you’ll find ’em in the Wallpaper section. Misc art will come soon, as well as a few new banners; there were 10 very…

An interesting tidbit of off-topic news… SilverBrin has posted a note explaining about the setup of the official Brian Morden Foundation, an organization set up in memory of Brian Morden, better known as *Ar-Isildur around these parts. Visit the links for more information, or to buy one of the cool <3 T-shirts.

Somehow this got missed by the majority of Fanfest attendees… thanks to Warbow for pointing it out. A few days ago, a letter went out to all attendees, with information about logistics, a schedule, and a description of what will be going on. One of the subsections of the general overview was titled ‘Videos Galore’…

Tiny but potentially significant Halo Story Page update… thanks, Finn.

Ciarán did some digging, and came up with a bit more information about the next Halo novel, working title ‘Halo: First Strike’. From a Random House employee:As for “First Strike,” it will take place immediately after “The Flood,” and will continue to follow the Master Chief. Other than that, I can’t yet reveal.Interesting… interesting. Check…
