Holy Art Overload, Batman! The Wallpaper section has been updated with 49 new entries (and, if you count variants, over 60 new images) – some have been posted on our forum, but others are brand-spankin-new, and many are GORGEOUS. Go look ’em over – you’ve got your choice of image sizes ranging from 800×600 up…

As you can probably guess from the title, Stuntmutt has taken a long, hard look (you might even call it stone-cold) at the title of the newest Halo novel. See what he came up with in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 16:04:21 UTC)

The Famous Maroon Band of Mississippi State University played a bunch of video game music for the MSU/SC halftime show on August 31 – and somebody YouTubed it. The whole clip is 7 minutes long, but the Halo bit is over in the first minute. (Nice formation, as well!) Thanks to Alt, in irc.bungie.org’s #hbo,…

Spider-Man originally submitted this song to Podtacular, but as far as I can tell, they never released it. It’s a song called ‘Snow ((Halo))’ – a parody to the tune of Snow ((Hey Oh)) by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Quality isn’t great – but it’s pretty funny! 3.8 mb, mp3 format.(Louis Wu 15:50:24 UTC)

Heh – fun. Brannon Boren, who, as a consultant with Microsoft, helped oversee the integration of the Halo story into various products, noticed that the Wikipedia entry for Bungie Studios suggests that the Halo Bible is not a real item, but rather a metaphor for the large collection of info about the Haloverse. Due to…

Heh – GFC Danny was reading Nintendo Power magazine, and in the email section, someone had asked the mag staff what Master Chief would look like with his helmet off. Their answer was funny.(Louis Wu 14:37:40 UTC)

The Series 8 Halo action figures have been available from various retail outlets for a couple of months now, but if you want to support Bungie’s plans of world domination, you can buy two of them (a Spartan with a popcorn Flood and a minor Jackal) at the Bungie Store, as of yesterday. Thanks to…

Before you leave High Impact Halo, swing by this news post – it describes a trick that’s been waiting to be completed for years… that the HIH community finally pinned down. Uzny was the guy who finally made it happen – but it was a community effort, through and through. The video’s pretty fun -…

Over at High Impact Halo, Ducain pointed out a new tribute vid created to pay homage to the Halo Speedrunners, that group of fans that does their best to make it from the start to the end of a level in as little time as possible. It’s long (17 minutes) – but a pretty impressive…

A month ago, Next Generation ranked the top 100 Games of the 21st century, based on sales volume – and the Halo franchise came in second. last week, they did the same for PC Games – and Halo PC came in 20th. Not too shabby! Thanks, Phan7om.(Louis Wu 22:06:36 UTC)

Helveck painted a great Master Chief bust on his garage wall… what a wonderful way to spice up your garage!(Louis Wu 22:02:35 UTC)
