Month: September 2004

Ducain, following up on his previous ‘get a warthog with a live marine across the Silent Cartographer shaft’ trick, has gotten the warthog BACK across the shaft (without killing the live marine). Vid is 8.6 mb, WMP9 format. Nice toss!

I’d hoped to find time to recode the Fan Fiction section for a new server – it hasn’t happened yet. We’ve therefore brought the original back online, for this section alone. We should be fine for a while. There are 8 new pieces for you there – go read!

Thanks to broony, who sent in a scan of a 4-page interview with Max Hoberman, Bungie’s Multiplayer Lead for Halo 2, published in last month’s Xbox World magazine in the UK. It mostly discusses Zanzibar… with some fun tidbits of other areas thrown in. Go read it in our Press Scans section.

Age points out that the Fire Team Charlie boyz have put out another vid; FTC13b is members-only, but it’s 8:16 of hilarity, absolutely worth the 65 mb download. It’s currently available in Divx-encoded AVI format, but they’ll have a QuickTime version available later today.

Mike Miller, a man who knows how to play Halo and make movies about it, has dropped off a film called ‘Guns Don’t Kill People…’ If you’re at all insecure about your Halo-playing ability, don’t watch this. T&R’s ‘Belly Of The Beast’, on Legendary… in under 4 minutes, without firing a shot. (An interesting side…

It seems that Stuntmutt has gotten a taste for fame, and now refuses to let a day go by without a new strip or a news post. Well, the money’s good, so I’m fine with it. Go check out his take on what happens when internet geeks meet in real life in today’s Guest One…

It’s Tuesday, so there must be 10 new pieces of art on HBO. Today’s batch is in the Miscellaneous Art Section. Some snazzy sketching in there! Check it out.

Juggertrout put together a short (1:19, 6.8 mb) film showing some Warthog Jumping off of pelicans. It’s being hosted by Mythica, for the [-TLG-] clan.

Thanks to Nathaniel, of the EPG Servers, who posted a note on the Gearbox forums about the new EPGS Delagginator. Coded by Kornman and MonoxideC, this is a server-side patch that can help significantly with the vehicle warping problem on Halo CE. (Be sure you read his warning about the order in which to do…

Way back on April, 2000, Haloplayers launched a Halo WAP site for mobile phones. That site is long-dead… but the idea has been revived, over at HaloPlanet. (I’m linking to the automated forum post for two reasons; there’s no ‘permanent link’ I can lock onto on the HaloPlanet front page, and the thread itself has…

That Weasel writes to mention two new videos on the Team X subsite of That Weasel Television; Tantrum and Recoil are now available for downloading (along with 12 other vids that folks might not have seen due to bandwidth issues). All movies are in WMP9 format. Check ’em out!

Following in the Jackal theme, Tina Leyk sent along a quick sketch of a Jackal, just to show a friend that they CAN be drawn… you’ll find the new guy at the bottom of her Fan Art page here at HBO. Rockin’!

Bungie.net has a story promising an update to Halo PC (and CE) tomorrow. The patch will fix an exploit which allows a server to be crashed remotely, and fix the issues caused by Windows XP SP2.

Boxer points out that Episode 7 of Adventures in Disaster is up over at akba.info. A Jackal by any other name would still taste like chicken…

Word from Mhaddy, over at the Junkyard, is that part IV of their Realism in Halo series, focusing on Silent Cartographer, has been posted. Go see what a Marine pilot thinks about Bungie’s military realism on this open-battle level!

Wow, almost missed today’s One One Se7en update because of the traveling. Stuntmutt’s pretty proud of this one – I think the fact that he got it all down on paper before passing out says a lot for his stamina.

Because one batch of Wallpaper is never enough, you need to stop by Halo Babies, for a massive art update, including some very cool collaborative wallpaper done by Gruntsbane and akba. (akba started by vectorizing the MC pose from Zoe’s farewell desktop, and then both akba and Gruntsbane put this image (with various amounts of…

Back, finally, from Minnesota. There was no Wallpaper update yesterday (oversight), so here it is today – 10 new desktop images in the Wallpaper Section. Apologies for the delay!

Resident flash monkey BOLL has posted his own take on the Gamestar event. At least *some* people got to play the right version of Halo 2…

You may have noticed the large number of reports of… odd Halo 2 gameplay at the Game Stars Live event in London over the past few days. Stuntmutt tosses his own ideas into the ring in a special Sunday One One Se7en. Update: There’s a MASSIVE (and really-well-written) chronicle of Stuntmutt’s EGN experience on our…
