Online comics – there are a few.Ross Mills pointed out Blue Screen of Life, a five-page comic based loosely on the lives of the Uni students he lives with. (He didn’t draw it, but he IS in it.) The first two pages are pretty devoid of Halo content.w00tness has put up 3 new strips since…

Again – as a general rule, we’re not hosting trick vids yet (the new site’s not ready) – but High Speed Halo seems to be offline, and there have been a couple of speedruns of Outskirts done already. Juggertrout posted his run on our forum last night – but it was done on easy, and…

Hehe – retsamolah was playing with After Effects, and managed to make himself go away. Movie is 1 mb, QuickTime format, no sound. Nice work!

Wow, I’ve been really remiss at dealing with this; sorry. We started up a Clan HBO on Xbox Live a bit before Halo 2 was available… but I’ve had no time to think about actually getting the whole membership thing off the ground. Maybe this huge delay will actually work out; many of the people…

New artwork at Halo Babies – a new fan strip and fan art from Sparkie (FANTASTIC style), plus new a new desktop and avatar. Go take a look!

Red vs Blue Episode 44 is now up over at RvB.com. I must say, I’m happy that Grif doesn’t have a career in Hollywood… thanks, The Beaz.

Hehe – if you’re going to try and manipulate game outcomes in Bungie’s Optimatch system, you should be careful who you’re playing before you start dropping. There are times when taking the loss would be preferable to making the wrong people angry. (Thanks, KP.)

SESpider has submitted episode 25 of Miniature Halo – and put in a request for a female model for the next section. The comic is in its normal place, and the recruitment request is here.

A few articles that have popped up in the last day or so:Computer and Video Games – review, 10/10, plus 83 smallish screenshots (thanks, 3Suns)Springfield (MO) News-Leader – Halo’s pretty good (I’m gonna stop posting links to these stories)South Bend (IN) Tribune – general interest Halo 2 storyCarzorthade (net comic – Friday’s strip was Halo…

in what has to be a REALLY early April Fools joke, Xbox365 has put up an article about two youngsters (15 and 20) in the UK who allegedly turned the family’s car “into an alien tank similar to the one found in the chilling game [Halo]”, and then crashing it into the wall and dying.…

Yesterday was spent in the house of Miguel Chavez (along with more than a dozen other Halo fanatics), playing Halo 2. For this reason, I’m a little behind on Halo news. (Luckily, it was a slow news day anyway.) I’d have caught up by this point… but family obligations will keep me from here for…

Gah – I totally forgot to grab this this morning, or post it. 🙁 clarksbrother interviewed Frankie yesterday on his local TV show (phone-in interview), and has made the audio available to the masses (almost 24 minutes, 8mb). Go grab it – then let him know what you think! I’m out for the rest of…

Writers were pretty busy this week – 33 new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section, posted in the last 4 days. Go read!

Joyride Studios has posted scans from the latest issue of ToyFare magazine, a story focused on the Joyride Halo action figures. Thanks to Littlebigman for the heads-up.

I missed this when it was first posted, but found it after reading another forum post (thanks, Alex!) – Mike Miller sat down and wrote out a pretty sizeable review of gameplay in Halo 2 on Legendary. There’s some really, really interesting info in this post. Tips on weapons combos, honest talk about what works,…

WaLKa posted a Halo tribute vid on our forum, showing off some great Halo gameplay. The video is WMP9 format, 8 mb. I’ve posted a QuickTime version, as well, for thot want one (8.3 mb). Nice playing, coupled with nice timing…

Hawaiian Pig has posted what he says is the last collection of RvB set pieces – posed hi-res screenshots to match scenes from RvB movies. There are four new shots in this collection – really nicely done. We’re gonna miss these! Check ’em out.

Frankie’s second Weekly What’s Update got posted tonight… except it’s not Frankie, it’s Chris Butcher and Max Hoberman answering questions. They talk a lot about the matchmaking system, so if you have questions, go read it – they might have answers for you!

bentllama has updated his weblog with a couple of common-sense items – if you’re sending someone a Friends request on XBL, you might consider actually TALKING to them and telling them who you are and why you want to be their friend… and if you’re without a headset mic, should you REALLY be playing in…

Whoa. Remember that Flash/Coldfusion contest we mentioned yesterday? The deadline had been today… but it’s now extended two weeks, to December 3. One person taking advantage of the extra time is another Macromedia employee (not eligible for any prizes, but dang, I’m looking forward to the final product anyway) – Kevin Hoyt released a screenshot…
