Month: May 2004

Bungie.net will be offline for a couple of hours today, starting around 10 am PDT (5 pm UTC), with some visible changes to be noticed when they come back. Hmm… Thanks, Wolfy.

Boxer’s put up another .comic at Subnova. Frankly, I don’t get the humor behind this one, but maybe it’s just me.

Just for Halo Custom Edition mapmakers – it looks like there is now a tool to export maps from gmax (and 3ds max, for that matter) to a format that Tool can read and import for Guerilla and Sapien. It’s called ‘Chimp’, and you can thank Baka, at the Gearbox forums, for it. This thread…

For all the people waiting patiently for the Halo 2 magazine scans from last month – the wait is over. The June issue of Game Informer magazine hit newsstands today, so we’ve put up last month’s Halo 2 article in our Press Scans area. There’s more coming later today, so stay tuned! (Most of the…

Today’s One One Se7en was actually written a month ago, when Bungie.net unveiled its new design. The queue was so full of hilarious jokes, though, that it had to be put off until now. Hmm… wait, nobody’s gonna believe that… okay, we lost it. It got covered up by the deviled ham when we put…

If you weren’t sure about release dates, Halo: Resolution clears things up.

Jester writes to let us know that music.psyjnir.org has been updated with 10 new pieces from the Bungieverse. Two of them (Haloesque and another Under Cover Of Night remake) are Halo-related. Go visit, and listen!

NiTrOuSoXiDe posted a note in the Gearbox forums, showing pictures of the New Mombasa map being worked on by a pretty talented team of mapmakers and artists; go over and take a look! (No, it’s not ready for downloading yet.) Thanks to Mrs Doublefire, one of the key people on the mod team, for the…

There’s no Red vs Blue episode this week – they were busy at E3 last week, and they’ve got other surprises going on – but there’s plenty of new content to visit for, anyway. A new song was released in episode 33, called ‘A Girl Named Tex’ – fans were clamoring for a full version,…

Dan Chosich is the latest target of the Junkyard’s Spotlight series; go by and read about this up-and-coming moviemaker. You know, now that I think about it, he DOES look a little like David Hasselhoff… hmm, no, he doesn’t.

Andrew, from XboxOttawa, has put up some pics he took at Dean Miranda’s Plasma Fiesta lanfest after E3 – he managed to miss all the food, but he got the people. Yes, Silverbrin likes playing Halo standing up. Don’t ask me why.

Rockhard noticed an interesting clip on TechTV; a pillow fight with some models and a host goes awry when the Master Chief gets involved. Webshift, from the Nightmare Armor crew, confirmed that it was, indeed, one of theirs, and mentioned an upcoming interview. If you have access to TechTV (my cable company doesn’t carry it…

Steve and Hextall27 are starting up the 1st Annual Enkidu Fanfic Contest – rules and regulations can be found in this forum post. They’re also looking for judges.

Alpaca continues the analysis of the E3 screenshots over at [HOH]. Number 3 is up now.

In reply to this week’s Bungie Weekly Update, Stuntmutt has turned in a new One One Se7en – the first in about a month. Woohoo! Or… oh, darn. (Depending, of course, on your opinion of One One Se7en strips.)

The third Frontline interview (this time with a Grunt) is posted over at ‘Frontline with Suzie’. Thanks, Viper the Mighty.

The Spoof has interviews the Master Chief, who’s living, apparently, in Billings, Montana. Who’da thunk it? Thanks, Walshicus.

A couple of days ago, Owl created a pretty huge standalone Halo 2 logo. Yesterday, Fury Three posted a standalone rendered version… and BOLL posted his own stuff (extracted from the official site’s content). Between these, you should be able to find a version you can use for your web creations…
