Year: 2006

Heh – weirdness. Wikipedia not only has a featured story every day… they queue them up a couple of weeks in advance. Not only do they do that – but they MAKE PUBLIC what the upcoming featured stories are. Laird noticed that next Saturday’s Featured Story (June 10) is going to be Red vs Blue.…

MaritalBlaze54 submitted ‘Advanced Warfighter’ to the MPRRS, and they loved it – enough that it made into the Top 10 passing scores. It’s an adaptation of the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter release trailer (google it if you’ve never seen it), and uses the GRAW HUD really well – among other niceties. Great cinematography, great effects……

Stephen Loftus pointed out that the Halo Graphic Novel comic, the 16-page preview meant to whet your appetite for the real thing (due out on July 12) was released a couple of days go (May 31), but nobody on the forum’s been discussing it. (Stephen says that it’s got plenty of spoiler material in it,…

Very nice. Spartan Jag pointed out a tidbit in an interview over at Xbox Evolved – Marty O’Donnell discussed Bungie, Chicago, and Halo 3 with one of their staffers before the PLAY! concert a couple of days ago. (The tidbit is cool – apparently, there was a chance for some press folks to play a…

The Miscellaneous Art queue has been sadly neglected for over a month – I didn’t have time to fully clear it out today, but i DID manage to put up 20 new images (well, 22, if you count the variants). There’s some killer stuff in there – go look!

FireDragon04 points out a new map for Halo Custom Edition entitled Helix Canyon. You can find a discussion thread (with screens) on the Gearbox forums, and another on the Halomods forum. Give it a look – and a download!

We got word of a tournament in Orlando, Florida, coming up on June 17. It’s sponsored by Gamestop – $20 to get in, lots of prizes. Halo is one of several games. Check out The Trades website for more details.

MsValentine, a regular over at Red vs Blue, has been cosplaying as Cortana at various conventions – and tweaking the costume as she goes – here’s a recent shot of the outfit (there should be more coming soon). If you are a member at RvB, you can check out her images section for older pics,…

Over at Rampancy.net, Narcogen has written up the first installment of a piece he entitled ‘Halo Movie Dos and Don’ts’. It’s nothing that hasn’t been hashed out dozens of times on Halo forums across the net – but it’s nicely organized, well-thought-out, and backed up with solid arguments. Definitely worth a read.

Over at Newgrounds, there’s a very NSFW Flash animation called ‘Halo: Marine Tales’ – parts are quite funny, parts are totally silly, spelling is atrocious, profanity is WAY overused. Artwork is quite good. Worth a look – if you can do so without getting in trouble. Thanks, Naburu.
