Ron Perlman, who apparently has never heard of Halo, can’t imagine anyone but Guillermo del Toro directing Hellboy 2 (the script for which has been turned in, according to the interview). Swing by IESB for a video interview with the guy.

Mr.Sci-Fi put a Masterchief-ish paint job on his Xbox360 – looks fantastic! Take a look.

Shishka pointed out a really cool Halo 2 show car – originally found in a Bungie.net forum thread. Check it out – nice paint job!

Some time ago, we got a pretty interesting submission from John Space, who had created an Honors English school project in which Halo: First Strike was presented in Audio Book format. (The submission was an excerpt.) Character voices were done by John and Cheyenne Space, and friends Michael and Brendon Reed. The clip we have…

Many people have been asking Stephen Loftus to put together a scale chart for Halo characters (he’s already done them for weapons and vehicles). He decided the best way to handle the situation was to give people the chance to compare any pair of characters – so swing by his new Character Scale Chart and…

A whole bunch of people pointed out that there’s another M6D pistol for sale on eBay by the same guy we mentioned yesterday – there are 6 days left in the auction, so check it out! (I think Robert Patterson was first with the news… but thanks to everyone who noticed it.)

This should really be posted on the bungie.org front page, but nobody ever goes there (mostly because it hasn’t been updated in years)… we allowed our 7th birthday to pass unnoticed yesterday, and what might be worse… nobody noticed. (Bungie.org opened its doors on January 6, 1999, and has been serving the Bungie community every…

Jon Luke noticed another Press Start to Play comic with Halo content… heh.

Interesting. X1Zero noticed another Halo costume on eBay – but the opening bid seems awfully high to me, given the quality…

Actually, it could be *any* day next week in San Francisco… I’ll be in the area attending MacWorld expo. I’m renting a car and crashing at the home of a friend. But I’m also going to have my swanky projector with me, as well as Halo 1 and 2 discs, and my trusty controller and…

Dyslexia has written up Part II of his Battle of the Masses piece on MLG Chicago over at mlgpro.com. This portion focuses on the 4v4 teamplay, instead of the FFA stuff. The writeup (once again) is a great read, and really puts you there – or as close to there as you can get at…

PEZ points out some new features at halowiki.net – the Gamesaver can save stats from given games as wiki pages (useful to save that one-in-a-million game even when Bungie purges it from their servers), and you can now access recent games with a direct link (just add a slash and your gamertag to the end…

Z sends word of Halzred’s 5th Montage Trailer over at halo2forum.com; if you’re a fan of heavy editing (‘heavy’ = ‘you can’t really tell what’s going on, the cuts are so fast and furious, and the effects are so thick’), go grab this one. 40 mb, just under 2 minutes.

Mintz points out that there’s quite a bit of new content over at Halo: Portable – new articles, new movies, if you’ve got a PSP, go download!

twooranges found a Fullsize resin cast model of the M6D pistol on eBay last night – it sold via Buy it Now less than an hour after that initial post, but the pictures will be up for another couple of weeks. Gorgeous piece of work! Worth $180? Yep, clearly, to the buyer! (The forum thread…

Pinkuh posted a note on our forum with an update of a picture she’d started about a month ago. The final work is gorgeous (we’ve added it to her gallery here) – but there are also a few progress shots, showing how she got from the sketch to the final product. (Those are in the…

Frankie’s WWU is now up for public consumption. Short and sweet as he says, but it does contain some very nice nuggets of info. The office gets their hands on DOA4, Max talks about the often forgotten handicap setting which helps even players out, and we get a near-final track list of Volume 2 of…

You might remember a guy named Mike Hill – he’s done a couple of sketches of Halo subjects. (Yeah, and Reinhold Meissner has climbed a couple of hills.) There was his MC with a Warthog, and Sniper Waiting… well, now there’s a new pic called ‘nightstalker’ (900×1442, 544k); it was created for the Bungie art…

Well, it’s been a little while since I’ve seen a Game With Fame on Xbox Live… but it looks like there’s one coming up in a couple of weeks. According to TeamXbox, you can sign up for a chance to play against INXS on Tuesday, January 17. Nice!
