Year: 2006

With folks all excited about registering for a shot at the beta, and other folks waiting breathlessly for the Halo 3 commercial tonight, Stuntmutt decided to look at one of the possible gotchas inherent in the style of creation MS decided to go with on this puppy. Check today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 19:39:01 UTC)

The Halo3.com website works – if you’re on a PC, using Internet Explorer. If you’re using anything else, you might have trouble – you can try this URL instead (thanks, TehCubed). There’s not much there yet – but that’s where info about the beta in the US will show up, we assume. Looks like SolarStance…

Wow – if you live in Australia or New Zealand, and you want to participate in the Halo 3 beta, you’re competing for a tiny number of spots (5 in NZ, 10 in AUS)… and you have to be creative to win. Come up with a 25-words-or-less description of how you think the Master Chief…

We have a policy against posting news from websites that basically say ‘here’s a website!’ – mostly, we ask that you tell us what you’re offering if you want a news post. However, we got one this morning that, while it doesn’t contain anything really new, is worth a reminder anyway, because it’s a pretty…

CiphA from Halomega wrote with a recap of the goodies you could find on their website over the past week; a mirror of TalenT’s Montage is being hosted there, along with a 1v1 Montage from DoX, and the dualtage Gears of War/Halo 2 montage mentioned over at H3F earlier. There’s a new Snipe of the…

Kotaku has a story up complaining that the latest Weekly What’s Updates at Bungie.net do not contain enough real news about Halo 3 (which is doubly strange because the latest WWUs contain a lot of new information about Halo 3, the beta, and the commercial). The irony of a so-called news story complaining that a…

Over at the360forum.com, you can grab a Gears of War/Halo 2 Combined Trailer for a montage – Gears of War play, Halo Play, all at really nice resolutions. This was created by inX, and is pretty neat (especially if you haven’t seen any GoW footage yet). 3 minutes, 45 mb, WMP9 format. Thanks, Z.(Louis Wu…

LifePod, the Halo CE Community podcast, has released Episode 2; you can grab it from their website, or read a description of what’s contained on this Gearbox forum post. They’re certainly not sticking to Halo CE – there’s Halo 3 news, Halo community news, and more. 30 minutes, 28 mb. Grab a copy!(Louis Wu 16:10:19…

Stuntmutt has rounded up the last couple of months of One One Se7en sightings around the net, and posted them to his blog – see what you missed!(Louis Wu 18:27:35 UTC)

Mateo sent word that the Libertyville High School Band (Corporeal), some folks who recorded a kickass version of the Halo theme a few months ago, have professionally recorded the Halo portion of their performance. You can hear it at their MySpace link above, or, if you’re allergic to MySpace (as I am), you can hear…

Mintz, in what might be in the running for the most annoying email EVAR, which even included some insults to the perfectly innocent Frag Qu33n, sends word of a Halo-themed strip of Game Boyz, which ran last Wednesday. An honest mistake, no?(Louis Wu 18:14:32 UTC)

Sigafoos writes to tell us about The Riot 27 – they discuss Halo Everywhere, the Halo 3 beta, some clan stuff, and more. And there’s a ‘Sigafoos Everywhere’ contest, which is just like Halo Everywhere except there aren’t any prizes and you have to use Sigafoos instead of Halo stuff. (I dunno, that sounds like…

XBWFeenix stopped by with word of a video interview he conducted with SketchFactor and Frankie at X06 this year (he couldn’t make it public until the issue of Xbox World that it was filmed for was actually on the shelves) – the link is in his forum post. Not a LOT of new info, but…

Bryn Casey let us know about another huge batch of new artwork – and man, I’m LOVING it. You can find it all on his gallery page here (scroll down to the bottom of the Paint Shop Pro section – but for folks who want things handed to them, there are 7 new images: Spartan…
