Year: 2004

MireL pointed out a glitch he found at Halo Online some time ago – it’s possible to climb out of the Pillar of Autumn, into space, through an airlock door. (The top pane of glass is passable by bodies, though not by bullets.) Goatrope quickly filmed the glitch (DivX format, 1.7 mb – I’ve also…

Battleground: Halo has become HaloPlanet – an official Gamespy Planet site. A new look, tons of new content (check out the interview with NiTrOuSoXiDe), and lots more to come – there’s a welcome message from the site directors explaining where they’re hoping to go. Explore!

Recently, Saint’s been running some fun mini-contests on our forum, called ‘Where’s The Master Chief?’ An invisible MC is placed somewhere in a screenshot of a Halo level, and it becomes your job to find them. (We haven’t been front-paging these because the files are pretty huge (a front-page link might swamp psyjnir.org, the host),…

SFGate.com has put together a list of games coming out in the next 6 months that could keep you in your house – forever. (Like that’s a GOOD thing.) Halo 2 is on it.

A forum member reminded me that I’d been meaning to mention HaloTV again. This is a site which provides streaming versions of many popular Halo vids, including some content not available elsewhere. Recently, they opened a beta Red vs Blue channel… a great way to grab a random dose of the funniest Halo serial on…

Calvin makes Hobbes happy (but not the converse) in today’s Calvin and Halo

A week ago, we mentioned an upcoming mod from Icetiger with low-gravity play and bots – it’s now available for beta download from Halomods. (If bandwidth runs out, there’s a mirror at Halo World and another at Fileplanet, as well.) If you’ve got Halo CE – give this map a shot, and send your feedback…

This is just a reminder – midnight, EST, on July 1 is just under 64 hours from now. That’s the final deadline for all entries to the Going Nowhere Fast contest – if you plan on mailing a tape, now would be a VERY good time to do so. (And you should send it Second…

ps2.ign.com has posted an article entitled ‘PS2 vs the World: Flagship Crushers’, in which they analyze other consoles’ top games, and how PS2 equivalents stack up. Page 6 is a look at Halo 2 – and all three reviewers acknowledge that there really is nothing on the PS2 that will compete with it. (All three…

Want some cool wheels? You might just have to wait a few years. Check out the December 2551 issue of Car & Pilot, nicely posted by Frankie over at B.net. I want one of those.

What happens when you take spectacular game art, and let a spectacular wallpaper creator mess with it? You get something SketchFactor calls ‘Desktop Coolification’. Check out the Bungie.net Wallpapers section for a fantastic new piece by Zoe, using Lorraine McLees artwork. Thanks to akba for the heads-up.

Konrad reminded me I forgot to post links to pictures taken at last weekend’s lanfest. (They weren’t very exciting… but hey, there were a bunch of HBO regulars there, so…) You can find a set from GT(Juggler) here, and another set from Konrad here. Funny comments from MIguel (who didn’t make it) on the GT…

The July issue of Xbox Gamer has hit the newsstands in the UK, so we’ve put the June Halo 2 article (scanned nicely by broony) into our Press Scans database. Some good stuff in there, though there’s obviously a lot of overlap with the other magazine articles published last month…

Fourteen new Fan Fiction pieces since the last update. Are you caught up?

A nice collection of desktop images have built up in the past couple of weeks – you can find 17 new choices in our Wallpaper section. Two that really stand out for me (mostly because of the custom artwork) are Mr Guy’s Boarding Action pic, and Eric Rodrigues’ Elite. Go look at everything, though!

In keeping with the mod updates, Homefront has posted one, too. Buildings, vehicles, landscapes… go check it out. Thanks, Pballwizard.

Halo: Resolution shows why you shouldn’t make EVERYTHING obsolete.

Stefander pointed out the third weekly update for the Zanzibar modding team, over at Halomods. Base work, looks like.

Friday’s Weekly Bungie Update has been added to our database – and a quick search on ‘Marty’ will show that the last line of his current update might actually be false. Search is good…
