Will, aka [-PtO-]_EteRnaL from PtO (a halo clan that plays on XBC), sent along a link to his collection of movies; you can find everything from gameplay to glitches. Check ’em out… and hit the contact link at the bottom of the main page if you’ve got any questions about joining the clan, or comments…

SexyJosh, from Team Sexy Films, has been writing some Halo-themed music recently; there are currently two songs available on his website. Lament to Keyes is a 4-minute ballad, and Cortana is half as long, twice as fast, and a bit ruder. If you like the music, explore the site; there’s quite a bit more, non-Halo-related,…

w00t – Xhzjang, the guy who brought you the Halo No Hud mod a few days ago, now brings you the Halo Font Editor. Change the ingame halo text – mess with its color, font style, even its location. Fantastic for folks who are tired of having action obscured by chat… or folks trying to…

Devin Olsen points out that Series 3 of the Halo Action Figures (Banshee, Blue Master Chief, Marines, and Johnson) have moved from ‘Pre-order’ to ‘Order’ status at DieCast Express. Buy ’em while they’re hot!

Looks like Cortana.org has come back online. It’s positioned to be a file repository for Halo mods… once the Halo Editing Kit gets released. For now, it’s just a design – go check it out! Update: Hehe – looks like I got corrected. 🙂 There’s a new news post up at the site explaining what…

Bah. Two days ago, SplitBoxer, from the XboxConnect team, wrote to point out that V4.0 RC1 was released, and available for download. I managed to forget to post it, though, until I noticed a note over at Rampancy.net. I’m pretty sure I should stop cooking tomato sauce in aluminum pans… Anyway, go grab it. (The…

Dr@Home wrote to point out a small vid (2.7 mb) he’s put up of his motorized Lego Warthog. WMP9 format – nice looking vehicle!

Whoa. You think YOU’RE an obsessed Halo fan? You got nuthin’ on this guy. Danny Kolacz is a diehard Halo collector, but he’s always been unhappy that the Active Camo Master Chief (a figure Joyride didn’t sell; they gave it away as a promotion) came in a plain cardboard box, rather than the standard packaging…

Today’s Guest One One Se7en looks at UNSC weaponry in a new light.

Blackstar comes up with a cool new game in today’s Calvin and Halo.

Seventeen peices for you today in the Fan Fiction section… Halo: Liberation of Earth – Section 2, by HawkEye Souls of War.: Part 2: Into The Fire, by Dark-NiTe Mysteries Part 2, by Horror Souls of War.: Part 3: Storming the Fortress, by Dark-NiTe Draco III: Wrath of the Covenant, by Kinotrica ‘Mocka’ Hidden Threat:…

Sniperman27 has released Halo Messenger 3 (2.3 mb), a standalone windows app that checks rss files from HBO and Red vs Blue, as well as giving you access to the Psyjnir Complex Music Database. It’s pretty slow checking rss feeds… but apparently, that’s our fault.

Whoa. Crispy Spartan dropped by our forum to dish out the first weekly update on his First Strike mod project. (We first mentioned this mod a month and a half ago, before it moved to Halocity.org.) Some good stuff in the updates; sketches, early models, and maps. Check it out!

Silvergrunt created a movie using ‘Fraps, Windows Movie Maker, and 2 cans of Mountain Dew’ – it’s almost 5 minutes of an Oddball game on Derelict, filmed on the HBO-Coerce server. It’s in WMP9 format, weighs in at about 12 mb, and is being hosted by MereCatfish. The soundtrack is Mothergoat’s ‘Hail 117 Anthem’. You…

BOLL has continued to tweak his Grunt shooting game (wait for it… then shoot the grunt when he appears); at this point, he’s done. (The file is now local, so he HAS to be done.) More grunt colors, more stats, piercing bullets, better graphics, less lag… See how you do.

Looks like I totally misread the iGames Championship Match Results from yesterday; was that explaining paragraph on the top of the page then? The numbers correspond to the player’s POSITION, not score; low numbers are better . The US/Canada’s representative, Noah Evans, was actually doing quite well – but was beaten in the finals. (Looks…

Fluffy, from Battleground: Halo, points out that they have a new mailbag up. It’s a joint effort – towards something.

CYBRFRK wrote up a different kind of reminiscence about the recent Offensive Tetraboxing lanfest that took place here a couple of weeks ago. New (gigantic) pictures… but the meat is in the text. Take a look – this is what HBO is all about.

Very nice. Dan Chosich found some new pics from Toy Fair – very nicely taken shots of the new Halo figures. Check ’em out!

Continuing the homage series, Stuntmutt tips a hat to Scott Adams in today’s One One Se7en.
