Year: 2006

DropShock Episode 15 is now avilable for download – an hour and a half of stuff like discussion of the Halo 3 announcement, Gravemind’s Poem, and the 2007 Halo marketing machine. Go listen.

After a really, REALLY long hiatus (Page 25 was released in November, 2004), SESpider restarted Miniature Halo – you can find Page 26 and Page 27 in our archives. (To be fair, 26 was actually posted on our forum 2 weeks ago – it’s just been a really, really busy 2 weeks.)

There’s a note on our forum about a tournament in Rahway, NJ coming up on June 10 – details (including directions, prizes, and the like) can be found in the post. It’s a Rumble Pit FFA with plenty of goodies to go around – check it out!

A relatively old face has reappeared and stepped into the shoes of previous forum posters with not only the inquisitiveness but the creative drive to help the community visualize the clues that Bungie has dropped. In this case, Geoff Chang (of POA infamy) has used Google Earth as well as his own creative skills to…

Back from E3, you would think we would be thanking the fine folks at Bungie for some awesome hookups, or the local guys in L.A. who helped us save on hotel and travel fare. Well, you would think wrong. Who we should really thank is our partners who put up with our shenanigans during this…

Stuntmutt put together a special Sunday strip to celebrate a fun piece of news – check the One One Se7en page.

There are 8 billion other tidbits in our inboxes (and more on the forum)… but it’s Mother’s Day here in the US, and it’s time to spend some serious quality time with two important mothers in my life – the mother of my children, and the mother of ME – so Halo news is gonna…

Laird noticed a new card for the Halo Graphic Novel at a local comic shop… according to the shop owner, interest is huge. I’m intrigued by the 99 cent preview comic, due out in a couple of weeks – I hadn’t heard about that!

Interesting… Red Leader decided he could hear definite similarities between Siege of Madrigal (a song Marty composed for Myth, and then included in Halo as an easter egg) and Unforgotten (a track on the new Halo 2 Soundtrack Volume 2). He overlaid them, roughly, tweaking the tempo a bit on Siege… but I definitely hear…

Weekly Fanfic update is a couple of days later than usual, due to E3 and some really unpleasant experiences on airplanes – but it’s up now. 23 new pieces. Go read. (To the two idiots (you know who you are) who wrote to bitch that it wasn’t posted before now – keep a sharp eye…

Home. Exhausted. Crashing. Before I go, though: if you go back and grab the Halo 3 Press Kit from Xbox.com, you’ll find that it’s grown in size from 70 mb to just over 100 – the added space is filled with Master Chief cutouts (the MC with no background image), Halo 3 and Bungie logos,…

We picked the winners of the second T-Shirt Raffle tonight at DeanFest 2006; I won’t be able to do anything useful (like send the winners email about their winnings) until late tomorrow or Sunday – at the moment, I’m sitting at LAX, waiting out an incredibly stupid mistake that resulted in my missing my flight…

We’re taking a break from DeanFest 2006 to post a pretty cool news tidbit… our very own KP, master of the HBO Forum Banhammer as Badmin and occasional front-page newshound, has found himself a new job. We were fortunate enough to snag a photo of his new workplace (72K) – and if you want more…

One quick last post, before heading off to DeanFest 2006 – the Weekly Update is posted over at Bungie.net, and it’s a doozy. It might just contain the most real information about a Bungie product, ever. Amazing collection of solid answers. Go read. (And then stop harping on the silly stuff in our forum, and…

vivien molia pointed out a new Press Start to Play with a Halo theme – take a look!

Thanks to the sharp of eye of Tempus Fugit, here’s a new set of pics from the Halo Graphic Novel. That art is looking might fine!
