The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft

Month: June 2004

  • Joyride Action Figures – Up Close

    It’s taken me forever and a day to get these posted… but they’re worth seeing, so post them I’ll do. Miguel Chavez took a bunch of hi-res pics of the Halo 2 prototype action figures (as well as the now-on-sale Series 4 figures) at E3 this year; we’ve made them available for viewing. There are…

  • Towel Shortage, Ketchup-Flavored Pringles, and Trisquids

    The Bungie Weekly Update this week can be found at the forums on the Major League Gaming website – there’s lots of good stuff, but what killed me was that Sketchfactor was in New York this week, and didn’t call. I would have bought him pancakes! (There’s boatloads of more exciting stuff – go read.)…

  • I smell a trap… or a rat. Or a rat in a trap.

    Red vs Blue Episode 37, Dealer Incentive, has been posted for sponsors – and it’s a whopper. 60 mb in high-res, any flavor. 6:27 worth of totally incompetent negotiations… and other stuff. Some of it’s optional.

  • Wireless Lockpick

    Halo Babies has updated their comic, and asked a question that’s puzzled many a Halo player over the years. There’s also some new vectorized fan art. Go look!

  • Prompt!

    One One Se7en shows that ODSTs were never the sharpest tacks on the seat…

  • Benefits Don’t Cover Probing Anyway

    Halo: Resolution puts our heroes in some pretty grave danger…

  • Halo50k3, Baby

    In an attempt to dominate the HBO front page, Dolbex sent around a bunch of news about Halo50k3, coming up at the end of July. First off, MLG ran a contest on XBConnect that gave free entry to the whole XBC team, an XBC pro account, and some MLG schwag to the person who could…

  • Now THAT’S a Halo poster.

    Dolbex got a poster he won after E3 back from the framers yesterday – you’ll find some cool pics in this forum post. Yeah, those will likely be sold by Bungie/Microsft at some point. No, you can’t have Dolbex’s. Update: Sketchfactor chimed in to say that the licensing arm is close to making a deal,…

  • That’s the last of ’em. Sort of.

    The last of the enormous miscart backlog is now posted – you can find another 24 items in the Miscellaneous Art section today. Predictably, there are already NEW items in the queue – but hopefully, I’ll be able to keep up on them a bit better.

  • Wait… I thought that shot bullets?

    Hehe – pretty cool. ThinkGeek sells a green laser pointer, and accepts ‘Action Shots’ – the combination led one Halo fan to send in this very slick shot. Thanks, Troy Conrad, for letting us know!

  • Command and Conquer Mod coming along

    Chronomaw writes to point out that Halogen, the Halo mod for C&C Generals (last mentioned in February, though that website no longer works) will be releasing a new render every day. Swing on by to see their progress!

  • Halo The Miracle

    Noah Hofmann, who used to go by the name ‘Shrike’, but now goes by ‘Ultrash’, has turned in a third piece of Halo Fan Music. (The first two can be found here.) This one is called ‘Halo The Miracle’, and is an 8-minute-long, 9.2 mb mp3 which is great to listen to. Ultrash is happy…

  • Hopefully, it’s not next to a ‘Baby on Board’ sticker.

    Dave Writz pointed out the new bumper sticker on his mom’s car…

  • Tigers cheat.

    Today’s Calvin and Halo shows why you should never play games with sneaky tigers. (Or sneaky game documentarians, either… Just ask Dan Chosich.)

  • The Misc Art Flood Continues

    The second batch of Miscellaneous Art is now posted – 32 pieces, covering authors beginning with C through P. There is some truly spectacular stuff in this batch; look at ALL of it, but certainly don’t miss work by DC, Gruntsbane, Iatro, and NeoFreak. (The first batch, if you missed it, was posted yesterday. The…

  • Words.

    20 new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section – after I deleted the garbage. It’s becoming less and less fun to manage this particular subsection of the site…

  • H2 Whoa….

    Water is your friend.If you happen to feel so weary that a bucket of coffee doesn’t help, try drinking a bucket of water. You’re probably dehydrated.An easier way to tell is to check the color of your urine when you pee. If it’s not clear, drink more w…
