Year: 2004

In accordance with our plan, we’ve begun to make the first Going Nowhere Fast speedrun available via direct download. Over 1500 people have already grabbed the file via BitTorrent, so the load shouldn’t be too heavy on our download mirrors… but there’s still a LOT of bandwidth available, if it comes to that. The biggest…

Eep – busy with other stuff, no Fan Fiction update for 5 days… there are 29 new stories on the page. Sorry for the delay.

rockslider points out the final episode (for now) of Frontline with Suzie – a chat with Goldie. Take a look!

Apparently the Halo community missed last week’s Subzero Rivalries, released on July 4th. Good to know traditions carry on… thanks to funkmon for noticing.

He did it again, mommie. Make him stop. Make that bad BOLL man stop. (Move your mouse around if this post confuses you.)

Ducain points out a pretty darn cool video over on the HighImpactHalo forums – 4 banshees, 3 hogs… at the bottom of Halo. It’s sort of funny… the last step of the video is ‘now get yourself down there’. Until Frogblast solved this mystery, this was the HARDEST THING TO DO IN HALO – now…

Many people have already noticed… but I’ve been pretty busy making the QuickTime versions, so I didn’t get around to posting this yet. Fire Team Charlie has released Episode 13 today, for sponsors – and it’s enormous. Hi-res versions are in the 150-170 mb range (depending on platform). DivX is up now, QuickTime will be…

MASSIVE update this week, on our very own forum – comments from team members who talk a lot, from members who have been conspicuously quiet for months, from weirdos you really didn’t NEED to hear from. (Oh, wait, that’s just Frankie. Who else would draw a speedo on the OUTSIDE of a suit of armor?…

One One Se7en predicts another CENSORED experience with tonight’s Weekly Update. No crystal ball needed there…

Oops – it’s been such a busy news day that regular features have slipped off the radar. Today’s Halo: Resolution makes you wonder how Keyes got to be bossman.

Holy Last Minute Coolness, Batman! Bungie and Mountain Dew have teamed up for a fantastic contest; submit the winning photo showing you and your friends playing Halo and drinking Mountain Dew, in the next 5 days, and you could find yourself at Bungie Headquarters for a promotional photo shoot and a Halo 2 LAN party.…

SketchFactor has posted a note over on Bungie.net that artists and content creators might want to look at. The filmmaker behind the upcoming ‘Making of Halo 2’ documentary is calling for images and movies of fan-created artwork that MIGHT be included on the DVD in a Fan Art showcase. (Be aware that anything already on…

Red vs Blue episode 38, ‘K.I.T. B.F.F.’, is out now for sponsors (thanks, Brad and others). It’s thirteen and a half minutes of hilarity – a truly fitting end to the season. We need the narrator guy from Soap to put together the summary for next season… because, man, it gets messy. (It’s huge -…

You gotta love stuff like this. wopkins made a vid of the Master Chief breakdancing. (Guy’s pretty coordinated, you ask me. YOU try that in battle armor.) He explains how in this post. The movie’s quite small (1.6 mb, WMP9 format), and I’ve added a QuickTime version for those that need it (same size).

Gamespy has posted part 2 of its ‘Halo 2 – Everything We Know!’ article, with three more pages on dual-wielding and jacking, and destructible environments. (We mentioned Part 1 – the first 4 pages of the article – yesterday.) This one sticks to Halo 2 info, and consequently has less faulty Halo 1 info.

Whoa – this comes as news to me… VoodooExtreme is reporting that Microsoft has put out a press release announcing a UK release date for Halo 2 of November 11 – two days past the US date. This directly contradicts the Halo 2 FAQ at Bungie.net, which states clearly “Halo 2 will be released in…

In the past month or two, we’ve started seeing pictures of a maskless grunt… and suddenly, the lovable creature we all knew and loved (albeit to kill, more often than not) was suddenly the stuff of nightmares. I no longer wanted a Grunt plushy. Tina Leyk has restored my faith in the cuddlyness of grunts…

New Halo Babies comic up. Nautical theme. Avast.

As promised, the second Going Nowhere Fast video is now available for download, via BitTorrent. (Once again, if you don’t have BitTorrent, the client can be downloaded here.) gwdpto runs through the second level of the game in 15:29 – and while his technique for zipping through the 3 Marine rescue missions at the end…

You know… these Calvin and Halo comics were funnier before I had kids.
