Year: 2005

Stryke Force is releasing the last of its content to date in Hi-res format; swing by their video page for links. The New Year Special, their first PSA, and the trailer for the series are all up in WMP9 format at the moment. QuickTime versions will be coming probably tomorrow. The big news, though, is…

Jillybean must be almost done with her finals – she found time to update the Halo Story Page. (Then again, it might just be that the opportunity to bash Cortana wsa just too good to pass up…)

Sarge meets Queer Eye in today’s One One Se7en. Scary.

Just in time to give you some Halo-based reading for the weekend, the Fan Fiction section gets 19 new stories today. To the folks who are annoyed by the fact that I manage to update the Fan Fiction section a couple of times per week, but let the art sections languish for months… I’m really…

Awesome. New ep of w00tness has been posted, and with it comes a set of very nice wallpapers (last on page). Now THAT’S a nice gold elite. Thanks, Duo.

More people than died on Reach have contacted us about the Game Reactor article – so even though it’s totally unconfirmed at this point, we’re going to mention it, if only to get folks to stop sending us mail about it. Game Reactor, a Danish magazine, has published an article which includes an interview with…

The Bungie/XBL Team Halo Humpday Challenge (mentioned yesterday) has been written up by SketchFactor over on Bungie.net. General Tone: Whiney. He does his best to put a positive spin on the Bungie loss… but mostly, it’s pretty clear they got beat. 🙂 The aftermath was pretty funny, though… Looks like first heads-up came from Echoes.

Today’s Halo Babies strip is guest-written, though the artwork is still Gruntsbane’s. Poor Cortana… Thanks, Archaos46.

Hehe – hokeywebb22 came across a pretty fun truck, over at blennus.com…

The Codex, Episode 11, ‘Balance of Power’, has been posted at the Codex website. A solid episode, plotwise… it explores the relationship between the Praetor and the Cleric. There will be no episode next week; the top news post on the main page explains why. It’s really nice to see a machinima team planning ahead!…

Captain Spark grabbed another batch of dialogue snippets – you can find them in a zip file on his site, or individually (and searchable) in our Dialogue Databank. He’s beginning to wonder if it’s worth looking for more; diminishing returns, and all that. Chime in!

Mother’s Tooth sent along an interesting email this morning – and I wonder, now, what sort of repercussions this will have in the long run. He’s looking for voice talent to play Miranda in his ‘The Age of Miranda’ machinima series; he’ll supply a small script (10 words or so) to be recorded and judged.…

Seems that last night’s Halo Humpday Challenge was against the Xbox Live team – there’s nothing up at Bungie yet, but Major Nelson has posted a quick summary on his blog. XBL took the first two games, the third was a tie. (To be fair, all THREE games were pretty close.) Thanks to Narcogen at…

Didn’t take long – the first Halo Stats widget for MacOSX 10.4’s Dashboard has been released. You can check your levels in the various gametypes from your desktop. Thanks, Lacsap.

Ooh, that looks nice – According to Joyride, Gamestop will be selling a battle-damaged Warthog in July. There’s also a new version of the Master Chief and an ODST (among other things) coming out in August. Poke around – there’s tons of new ones listed. Thanks, Madda Cheeb2.0.

Mother’s Tooth has posted Episode 2 of his ‘The Age of Miranda’ series over at That Weasel Television. This one makes use of a mod we mentioned a couple of weeks ago created by TheTykoMan. That poor Miranda – I’m glad I don’t have dreams like that!

XerxdeeJ has started up a new Halo-related blog – this one’s titled ‘Tied The Leader’. There are a couple of articles up already; the most recent looks at how sportsmanship is related to online anonymity. (Personally, I think Penny Arcade nailed this one last year – but XerxdeeJ’s take, while less pithy, is a tad…

I went into our uploads folder recently to try and clear out the content that needs to be added to the various subsections of the site. I was pretty scared by what I found. Half the submissions came with no identification at all. (We have to toss these.) Many came with random identification; the submission…

Zelp modified his own Forza racer – check out the results! (We mentioned one of these yesterday.) Update: And another one – thanks, Hypnotoad.
