Month: March 2004

  • It’ll All Make Sense By Friday

    One One Se7en starts another series – though I doubt the timing is accurate. Hold on tight, boys and girls… this one’s gonna get ugly.

  • 1 percent Comedy 99 percent Cheese

    Keyes and his insecurities continue to be the focus of Halo: Resolution – check it out. Incidentally, Fuzzy asked that a public statement be made about Resolution sprites; they’re not for distribution. He doesn’t mean any offense by it, but he’d rather people stopped asking him for them, because he’s not planning on distributing them.…

  • Bogus Screenshot Alert

    We got mail this morning from Strato99, pointing out a bunch of purported Halo 2 screens. (The originals were housed on some student webspace in Sweden, but Strato said he found them in a forum somewhere.) These have been confirmed to be FAKES – please, if you see them around the web, don’t perpetuate the…

  • Keeping track of stats

    Greg Irvine put together a spreadsheet to keep track of player stats for his local LAN group. He’s now made it available to the community as a whole. You can grab it from our Miscellaneous section. (Read the page for instructions about use.)

  • Halo Babies Update

    Halo Babies has released this Friday’s comic a bit early – for sponsors. You can find it in the Sponsor’s forum. There’s also a new incentive to donate: drop off some money, get a halobabies.net email address. Go sign up!

  • AotCR – in Multiplayer.

    Wow. Eclipse points out that Monoxide has posted to the Gearbox forums that ViperNeo has worked out some of the problems in porting AotCR to multiplayer – and it might even be out, as a mod, in the next week or so. Won’t THAT be a blast!

  • Links, links, and more links

    Wow. In the last month or so, a lot of links have been forwarded to us about Halo-related websites out there. I THINK I’ve culled all of them from our mail – but I might have missed one or two; apologies if that’s true. Forums: Covenant Grounds (Halo forum) [MSM]Gearbox (HPC Clan forum) Clan sites:…

  • Halo for cash in north Florida

    ORACLE writes to point out a continuous Halo tourney in Pace, Florida (near Pensacola). Every Friday night at 6 pm, Homefield Sports and Games hosts a tourney; entry is $10, first place gets 40% of the take, second place gets 10%. (I suppose that means the house gets the other 50%.) He provided an address…

  • Banshee Handling III

    vector40 has posted the third segment of his ongoing series of articles on Banshee stategies – this one’s entitled ‘Applying Reality’. It focuses on the nitty gritty stuff – less abstract, more ‘I don’t care if it’s pretty, I just want to kill him’ stuff. It’s available at Subnova and Rampancy.net as well as the…

  • Best Buy Bundle – now cheaper

    Back in November, we reported about a bundle being marketed by Best Buy – a controller and a DVD with Halo material on it. At the time, it was $19.99. (The DVD contained no ‘new’ material – but it did contain a hi-res version of the ‘Inside the Xbox’ documentary that showed at X03 last…

  • Tina Leyk, Halo Artiste Extraordinaire

    A couple of days ago, we got an email from Tim Leyk, who wanted to point out a Halo fan comic created by his sister, Tina Leyk. I visited the site, and was blown away by what I found – she’s a fantasy/furry artist, and Fur-lo (her Halo comic) incorporates furry art with Halo themes…
