Wow. I have no idea about the background of this seller, or whether this is normal for this industry – but it seems like a pretty awesome opportunity for the right collector. BARBARIC_RAGE noticed an eBay auction, ending tomorrow night, for what purports to be a page of the original Simon Bisley artwork used in…

ChrisVioxxx stumbled across this online ad as he was websurfing yesterday – while I find it hilarious, I have the same problem Chris has – I have trouble seeing anyone with the authority to authorize this actually doing so. Which would suggest, funny as it is, look quick, cause it won’t be around for long.(Louis…

So this weekend’s big news was the pullout of Universal and Fox as backers for the Halo film. What does Stuntmutt get out of it all? A pun so bad it made me groan louder than this blasted pneumonia. Read today’s One One Se7en if you want to see it for yourself.(Louis Wu 15:11:05 UTC)

Devin White has been hard at work creating a Spartan helmet – he’s done a pretty amazing job! Check out some pics on this page.(Louis Wu 15:04:25 UTC)

Tnl Alex posted details of a New York City tourney on our forum this morning – FFA, 2v2 and 4v4, coming up on November 11. Entry fee is $10/pp for the FFA, $15/pp for the team games, with the pot being split up between the top three winners. Go read the forum post for more…

KP continues with his IM interviews of community members – this time, he snagged Zoom Demon, of the Cayote Cavegirls, for a pleasant little monitor-side chat over sandwiches and rice and orange chicken. You may think that KP picked Zoom Demon just because she was a hawt chik – but it’s not true. There are…

Ryan – 117 sent us a link to his new online comic – ODST Lock & Load. He’s looking for suggestions for the next comic – if you have any, toss ’em in the comments section!(Louis Wu 13:21:42 UTC)

Nathan Gibson wrote to let us know that Games in Action is having a competition allowing members to submit designs for Halo 3 Weapons/Vehicles. It should be stressed that this is for fun, and is NOT official (you will NOT see your masterpiece in the final game, for example), but it should be a good…

It’s been mentioned a number of times in our forum, but I’m not sure I’ve ever front-paged it; I’m going to do so now, so that the info is here for any to find. The December issue of OXM Magazine has a very large (7 magazine pages) excerpt from the upcoming Ghosts of Onyx book;…

If you swing by the MLGPro website, you can see a trailer for the upcoming MLG 2006 Pro Circuit TV show, to be aired in a few weeks on USA Networks. For those of us without access to Video on Demand, or simply without the time to follow the pro tour closely – this show…

Owm pointed out a great article about the Rooster Teeth boys over at the Escapist – it’s Halo-related in that it discusses Red vs Blue, but it’s great writing in any case. Go read.(Louis Wu 21:15:31 UTC)

Wow. eternalscrappy submitted three short films to the MPRRS yesterday – Elite vs Elite 1, 2, and 3 – and all 3 passed, in short order. They’re in the style of Spy vs Spy (if you grew up reading Mad Magazine), and they’re pretty funny. Short and sweet – if they’re not your style, we…

Christian Anderson found this odd image (173K) in the danish Metroexpress – it’s a flyer for the Danish Electronic Entertainment Expo. He apologizes for the bad scanner quality…(Louis Wu 17:32:03 UTC)
