  • OGRE1 Scopes Out Chi-Town Competition

    Over at Team3D.net, there’s an interview with OGRE1 about the upcoming MLG Chicago tourney – go read! Thanks, F13ND.

  • Dark Horse did Oni, right?

    Heh. Every time I front-page a forum post of mine, I get some flak from regulars about post-h00ring… but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s a quiet day, and I’m hoping to get more people to weigh in on this subject… how cool would it be if someone were to create a…

  • Dumb animals in a can of whoopass

    Geezer Gamers has profiled BTB, one of their oldest clans – good read! Thanks again, 3Suns.

  • PMS Pro Interviewed

    Clan PMS, one of the larger (maybe the largest?) all-girl gaming clan, has been interviewed over at MLGPro.com. (Well, not the WHOLE clan – just four of them that showed up at MLG Atlanta recently to play as Team PMS Pro.) They talk about how hard it’s been to get respect, how the whole sponsor…

  • Getting you through

    The Sacramento Bee has an article about Prima Games, the publishing house that creates many of the gaming guides you can buy in the US. Halo 2 figures prominently in the story.

  • Someone didn’t take their meds…

    There’s a rather bizarre take on the Halo universe over at Newgrounds – a Flash movie called ‘Halo 3 2: Halo 4 The Movie’. Interesting artwork – really, really strange story. Thanks, Xmoose.

  • One Man’s Meat…

    Heh. Stuntmutt takes a look at the recent Playlist changes in today’s One One Se7en. (I think I met that guy last week…)

  • Plot Twists

    Narcogen continues his look at the Halo script he got his hands on last month – this time, he looks at some of the ways that this script differs from the story as told in-game. (If you’re looking to avoid all spoilers about this movie, don’t go here. There’s no guarantee that everything he’s commented…

  • NSCS Update – Map Walkthroughs

    Overswarm has updated his Not So Common Sense strategy guide with 4 new map walkthroughs – these are great for figuring out what people mean when they shout “they’re in the Library!” or “Sniper coming up Base Bridge!”. There’s also a bit of information about what’s eating up his time on the front page of…

  • Lucky Panties

    Gamer of the week over at MLGPro.com is Tsquared – nice read. (I loved the cop story.) Thanks, 3Suns.

  • Not sure I’d call that a doodle…

    Pinkuh’s been inspired by all the talk of Nicole – and while this sketch (which was originally posted on our forum) isn’t Nicole, it IS a pretty cool female spartan! I’m looking forward to the colored version!

  • Briar’s Armor – for sale, again

    We’ve mentioned Briar’s Armor in the past – they’re back, with another suit for sale on eBay. This one has a starting bid of $1500 (as the last two did), and is red, with a weathered look. We even got a couple of pics of this suit, being worn to pick up an Xbox360 on…

  • Shut your noisehole is how.

    There’s a very cool new article up at bungie.net, discussing how Nicole, otherwise known as Spartan 458 and a denizen of Nassau Station (found only in Dead or Alive 4), came to be. (First off – the girl is HUGE. 6’8″, 370 lbs; she’s bigger than your average NFL linebacker. I’m guessing it’s solid muscle,…

  • Checkmate involves stickydooms.

    Very cool – Se7en One has created a Halo chess set in 3Ds max. This version is Elites vs Brutes… but there’s speculation in the thread about other variants. Fun stuff!

  • Teaser Trailer for Rendered Film

    Doug Godfrey released a teaser for his 3Dsmax-rendered Halo movie – looking pretty slick! If you have trouble with divx-encoded files, we’ve put up WMP9 and QuickTime versions (as well as mirrored Doug’s original AVI) – links are in this post.

  • Retribution

    Nice interview with Team3D over at MLGPro.com – talking about how they dominated in Atlanta, and about what’s coming. Give it a read! Thanks, 3Suns.

  • Marching Halo Redux

    Some of you might remember a pretty cool video of a high school marching band playing Halo tunes… well, it looks like the Sandra Day O’Connor High School is going to be performing that show again at Mt. Carmel High School in San Diego, on December 27th. If you’re nearby… you might wanna stop in!…

  • Solitude

    Mothergoat’s at it again – a new map, coupled with great Halo-inspired music… check it out! Download, movies, screenshots and the music file are all available from his forum post.

  • Seek THIS!

    Thanks once again to Subnova’s 3of9 – The Seeker is back online! Searching a large number of Halo-related websites, this search engine might very well be the only search tool you need to find that elusive tidbit of Halo info. Check it out!

  • It’s Just A Jump To The Left.

    Wow… I could have SWORN today’s One One Se7en was recycled… but the only Rocky Horror strips I could find were from Ross Mills, and they’re not really the same thing at all. Anyway, the joke SHOULD have popped up before now… it amazes me how much fodder there actually is for this sort of…
