    We’ve posted a larger version of Theo Prins’ ‘Duck and Cover’, the image he created for our t-shirt raffle. I just LOVE that style. He has a bright future ahead of him…

    Gah – Friday was so crazy I forgot Fan Fiction again, and Saturday… wasn’t much better. Here is the collection for the week – 31 pieces (though an awful lot of them are short poems by a single submitter…).

    Yesterday, we added a larger-than-the-contest-thumb version of Bryn Casey’s beautiful ‘The Guardians’ to his Gallery page – we need to do the same with the other artists who submitted new work for our t-shirt raffle. I’m going to start with Paul Davies’ ‘Arbiter’, because, well, we’ve had a new image of his every day for…

    Gah – nearly forgot. Mintz pointed out that Halo Portable is back up and running after a short hiatus – check out what’s coming (as well as some new wallpaper).

    Two years ago, Lorraine McLees spent a good chunk of her time at the Bungie E3 Fanfest drawing on-the-spot graphics for raffle winners (and, accidentally, for me) – we posted a note about one of the images she did, for Eric Good, last year… and this weekend, Cunbelin dug out and sent along his own…

    Grey Wolf noticed that IGN gave Halo their ‘Best Non-Playable Presentation’ award in their Xbox 360 Best of E3 article. Guess maybe they should talk to the Gamepro folks…

    The man is gone – in more ways than one. Stuntmutt gets married today, and in honor of this auspicious occasion, he’s created a very special One One Se7en – check it out. (As yesterday’s strip mentioned, the next two weeks will be covered by guest artists – we’ve got some pretty good stuff for…

    KeyboardKiller submitted ‘Totally Random Act 5 – In Soviet Russia’ to the MPRRS, and the reviewers thought it was pretty funny. Great use of mods. Apologies to Yakov Smirnoff… you can grab this in the original DivX format (15.7 mb), or in WMP9 format (15.6 mb) or QuickTime format (15.2 mb) if they’re more convenient…

    Wow. JakeDaGreat told a story, in pictures, of what happened to Mister Chief after he was assembled from Frankie’s origami stuff in the latest BWU. Read the whole thread – there are updates, and side stories, and… (other pictures, too, thanks to Bluegrunt and Greenskull.) Update: There’s more of ’em, here – this batch from…

    Rampancy – Se7en Years Of Halo
    in

    It’s only the second-ever Halo 3 Weekly Update, and already the bar is being set pretty high. This week we get a new screenshot, suitable for desktop wallpapery, and an introduction to Bungie’s brand-new, bright-and-shiny KP. KP likes Lockout, Fight Night Round 3, slow, leisurely walks on the beach, and grinding other Bungie contractors into…

    The Weekly Update is now up! Lots of juicy bits: new screenshot/desktop picture taken from the Halo 3 E3 trailer, a short interview with KP, his first official Bungie write-up: an eyewitness acount of KP’s hazing, though the results show him doing the hazing, and a (temporary?) farewell to AdgTinMan, who leaves us a cool…

    Today’s One One Se7en speaks for itself… tomorrow’s the big day, and if you’ve got your speakers on, you’ll even get an explanation for the title. CONGRATULATIONS, STUNTMUTT!

    Must be art day – Paul Davies has another image for you, too. This one is pretty spectacular, though its primary character isn’t anything you’ve ever seen in-game… feel sorry for those ODSTs!

    X1Zero has a pretty large collection of action figures he’s trying to get rid of as a lot; he’s coming to the Halo community first, before heading to eBay. Check out the post – there’s an amazing array in there!

    Don’t look at this politically; just be amused by the photoshopping. Thanks, Jon Keegan. Update: Eep, sorry – we’ve been asked to pull this.

    Bryn Casey’s been busy – three new images in his Gallery here, including a nice version of the image he created for our poster giveaway last week. Check out Earthshot, The Guardians, and Elites! Gorgeous stuff.

    I’m not sure I understand this, but you’ll find a small Halogen update at Mod DB (a screenshot and some story flavor) – that is, for some reason, exclusive to Mod DB; that is, you won’t find this info on Halogen’s website. …okay. Thanks, crazedweasels.

    QuickTactical and crew has been creating the machinima series Soldiers of War for some time – Season 2 just kicked off, and Episode 7 (the first of the new season) passed the MPRRS. Things are looking grim for the Americans… It seems silly to me that we host 2, 5, and 7, but not the…
