Year: 2006

A couple of days ago, we mentioned some cardboard Halo guns made by a fan; we soon received another batch of pictures from a different fan, who’s been building his own cardboard weapons. Swing by this page to see the cardboard weapons of yayap_the_grunt.

Okay, so here’s the deal. A few days ago, a really cool movie was released by Bungie – ‘Halo 3: Behind The Scenes’. It came out in lots of flavors, lots of sizes… but the highest-resolution QuickTime, a gorgeous HD 720p version weighing in at 400 mb, had a problem; the last 20 seconds of…

Tonight’s Weekly Update focuses on the XBL playlists (there are still 20 million games of Halo 2 played each month – WOW!), plus info on what’s been going on in the office this week, and another great installment of the Waaahmbulance. Go read – at Bungie.net or in our Weekly Update Archive. Frankie, as usual…

Hmm… I usually stay away from the Story-related stuff until the Story Page crew picks it up… but this seemed pretty cool to me. Check out bikeman704’s speculations on the Ark in the Halo 3 trailer, and where else you might have seen one…

There’s a fantastic interview with Marty O’Donnell over at 1Up.com – Halo 3, Bungie, music, movies… and (maybe) what’s coming. Go watch! (Flash format, about 38 mb.) If you swing by GameVideos.com, you can actually grab larger versions, in WMP or QuickTime formats (MUCH larger), as well. Thanks, Mark McDonald and Eastbeast314.

I don’t want to make a habit of this… but sometimes, It’s nice to lend a hand to folks in need. AJay dropped us a note that a friend of his, Dupid, was headed to MLG Anaheim with an all-girl team, but her sponsor backed out at the last minute, and now she’s stuck with…

Today’s One One Se7en explains EXACTLY what was going on during that Halo 3 Trailer. It was so obvious… why couldn’t the rest of us see it?

Captain Spark submitted another couple of dozen dialogue snippets; these are not yet broken down with Marty’s new identifiers (that will start next week, apparently), but don’t let that stop you. You can grab them from his website, or browse them in our Dialogue Databank.

Chilton Webb made a really nice QuickTime VR (3D screenshot) out of c0ld vengance’s dying Jackal – you can find a link in his forum post.

Seventeen new pieces in the Fan Fiction section today – go read.

Top Cat Productions submitted ‘A Tribute to Halo 2’ to the MPRRS, and its combination of wacky humor, strange situations, and surreal transitions convinced the reviewers to give it a thumbs-up. It’s pretty long (almost 19 minutes, but still weighs in at about 50 mb… amazing! Grab a copy in WMP9 format (53.2 mb) or…

The Humpday Challenges are back, it seems – KP’s got a writeup of this week’s, against the Podtacular crew, posted at Bungie.net. Nice recap, even though Bungie got beat – congrats, Podtacular!

Matt Spenser and Psy Matrix got together and turned out Switch Parody 2, a cute takeoff on Apple’s Switch ads. 12 mb, WMP9 format – go watch! Thanks, Laird.

Darkendes found a review of Halo 2 on a site aimed at helping parents find good media for their kids – and MAN, did they not like the game. “A storyline only slightly above average and so-so graphics” – they don’t think it’s just bad for kids, they think it’s bad. Period. Ouch!
