Year: 2005

Once again, I’ve let an absurdly long period of time go by without cleaning out our uploads queue. There will likely be more content later today or later this week – but for now, we’ve got several dozen images for you in the Miscellaneous Art section. Paul Davies continues to astound me, but there are…

A large percentage of the gaming news in the last couple of days has been about the Xbox360 (we’re staying relatively quiet on the general bits, because they’re not really Halo-related)… the part that IS Halo-related is the backwards-compatibility thing. Stuntmutt takes a look in today’s One One Se7en.

The MPRRS reviewers have been pretty harsh of late – so when they let a movie through, it’s probably worth watching. First one through in a while is ‘BoB Zero: Genesis’, the prequel to a popular French machinima series (you can find more of their work on the TGO Team website). Filmed in Halo (as…

Very cool – Stubbs the Zombie has been released for Mac OSX! Thanks, spartan erik.

Just six new pieces in the Fan Fiction section this morning… you can easily catch up.

TheGhost has put together a collection of tutorial resource links for HaloCE – amazing organization. This can help you find exactly the tools you were looking for. Check it out! Update (16 April 2006): Ghost has moved this to a permanent home at Halomaps.

There’s a story over at IGN about cross-compatibility between the Xbox360 and the original Xbox when playing Halo 2. Their verdict: the 360 plays Halo 2 beautifully, but there might be some joining glitches when playing games involving both boxes. Read the whole article for details. (And remember, this is a single data point; others…

Frankie wrote up his experiences at the Xbox360 Launch Event in the Mojave desert. Nice pics, funny stuff (I wish I could meet the guy who’s got his Cliffy B autograph), a little bit of Halo content to keep it all on-topic. Go read! (Yeah, he gets credit for the heads-up, too… good thing he…

Rooster Teeth have posted a new Red vs Blue video, ‘Zero O’Clock’, for sponsors. At the moment, only the WMP9 version is up – but I assume the QuickTime and DivX versions are coming soon. (I’m also assuming it’ll show up for everyone else in the not-too-distant future.) Griff does his best to get to…

Whoa – it’s less than 8 hours from tomorrow, UTC, on a weekday, and there’s no news on HBO? Call the fire department – HBO HQ must have burned down. (Actually, not really – but I have been kicked out of my place of work by a horde of carpet-laying gnomes, forcing me to alternative…

Timed nicely to go with last night’s coverage on MTV, you’ll find an article at MLGPro.com about T-squared, and his gaming skills school. Check it out! Thanks, 3Suns.

While it’s relatively common for me to crack a smile when looking over One One Se7en submissions, it’s rare for me to laugh out loud. Today’s entry didn’t ruin the ratio. (I kid. It’s up there with some of the classics.)

Seventeen stories in the Fan Fiction section for you today… go read!

Halo Babies has instituted a new feature – Featured Artist. This month is Andrew-sama… go check out his work.

UNSCDF points out that his eponymous website has an article about the M6C pistol – go read.

Dropshock has released episode 6 – they discuss their writeup in Tips and Tricks magazine, they rant about free Xbox360s for celebrities, and they talk about the normal Bungie stuff. As usual, not safe for work. Just under an hour, 24 mb.

Birthdays Let us have birthdays every day, (I had the thought while I was shaving) Because a birthday should be gay, And full of grace and good behaving. We can’t have cakes and candles bright, And presents are beyond our giving, But let lt us cherish with delight The birthday way of lovely living. For…

Man, oh, man… sometimes things just get lost in the shuffle. Over the past week, Elnea’s created a bunch of new artwork, from a new avatar for a friend, to an image she never really wanted to make public (she says she can’t finish it), to an image that started life looking funny, but was…

T-squared will be on MTV’s True Life: I’m a Professional Gamer this evening (11 pm) – read about it at MLGPro.com. Thanks, synide.

You may notice that the Katrina links on the right side of our main page have disappeared; these are gone because we’ve officially closed the books on the Blow Me Away charity auction. (It’s not that helping hurricane victims is any less important than it was yesterday – it’s that there are many, many good…
