c0ld vengeance has ANOTHER 3d screenshot for you today; this one shows the 7 Halos from the hologram at the end of Great Journey. The standard QT movie lets you spin around them, while the QTVR version gives you a great view from any angle. QuickTime required, and be patient – this one’s a bit…

Just Passing By noticed a small writeup of RvB in the New York Daily News – pretty mainstream stuff!(Louis Wu 04:09:02 UTC)

This week’s Halo Humpday Challenge was against the Cayote Cavegirls – if you don’t know who they are, the writeup starts off with an interview of their lader [sic]. The overall result – a tie, no matter how KP tries to spin it; this brings Bungie’s not-losing streak to 3. (Of course, their winning streak…

Over at Bungie.net, there’s a news story about a Wallpaper contest; it’s not specifically geared to Halo, but I’m guessing the majority of the entries will be Halo-related. (Small) cash prizes available for the winners – read the post (and the linked forum thread) for more details.(Louis Wu 03:41:16 UTC)

I don’t normally reiterate stuff that’s written in FAQs around the site, but I’ve been getting an awful lot of mail about this one, so I’m going to make a public statement: we’re really sorry, we don’t have space to announce new Halo websites on our front page. If you just put the finishing touches…

Early this week, MMaster stopped by our forum to post a link to a new video he’d created; it’s an exact remake of ‘Move Along’, a video from the All-American Rejects. (This is different from Clan 0kinawa’s remake of that same video.) He submitted the video to the MPRRS, too – and it’s good he…

It’s been a little while (okay, 3 months) since our last 7 on the 7th Contest – but hey, somebody’s got to watch for aliens! So now it’s summer (at least in the northern hemisphere), and thoughts turn to the outdoors – so what better way to give away Bungie shwag than to require creative…

c0ld vengeance continues with his 3D Screenshots series – this time, it’s Cortana, looking on as the Master Chief sticks a Brute. Sweet! Available both as a QuickTime rotating vid, or a QTVR file. Take a look!(Louis Wu 15:38:42 UTC)

Podtacular has some new updates – Episode 70 is up (looks at community desires for Halo 3, and other games Halo fans play), Pod TV Episode 3 is up (Humpday highlights), and a new official comic called Weekly Porridge is online. (Apparently, it’s been around for a while; there are a bunch of episodes up…

XerxdeeJ stopped by to point out that Tied the Leader has been updated – there’s a readers poll on sportsmanship, a treatise on teamwork (and whining), and a stroll through the referral logs, checking out what people are looking for. Go read!(Louis Wu 13:14:14 UTC)

I’m not thrilled with YouTube – but this one’s pretty darned funny. Swing by to see the original Halo 3 trailer… the special effects on Cortana must be seen to be believed. Thanks to Konrad, via IRC, for this one.(Louis Wu 02:31:35 UTC)

The MPRRS queue has been getting pretty long recently – Cybrfrk just brought in some new blood to try and clear out some of the movies that have been languishing. The first pass out of the gate is ‘Lost: Halostyle Episode 5’ – a continuation of a pretty funny series. (This episode is quite good,…

Over at Gamasutra, they’ve started their own podcast (everybody’s doing it!), and the first one is actually a recording of the talk given at the 2003 Game Developers Conference by Marty O’Donnell, Jaime Griesemer, and Mat Noguchi, entitled ‘Halo: Development Evolved’. It’s just over an hour long, weighs in at only 14 mb, and is…

He’s at it again; c0ld vengeance has posted 10 screenshots on our forum, and challenged you, the viewer, to come up with an exact location for each one. You’re going to need to be pretty specific on these… check it out! Update: DOH! 2 minutes after I posted this, c0ld confirmed that Dojorkan had nailed…
