Month: July 2007

Today’s One One Se7en is special, for a few reasons; it’s a Holiday strip, of sorts, celebrating the anniversary of the United States’ declaration of independence… it’s the first guest strip ever done by KP, and – well, you’ll have to read it for th…

You know, I gotta say, when I read Morpheus’ forum post about a video his buddy made, I wasn’t expecting much… but I found that the actual result was pretty funny. Go watch Master Chief’s United States of Whatever at YouTube – it’s 3 minutes of nice…

bs ‘Hawty McBloggy’ angel writes about another Pavel Dolgov Halo-themed faceplate – a friend of hers commissioned the artist to create a Clan-related faceplate, and the end result is pretty nice! Check it out.(Louis Wu 11:51:51 UTC)

Halownage really wants their own logo – so they’re offering a prize of $100 for anyone who can create one they really like. More details in this post. Thanks, HeisTeR.(Louis Wu 11:30:04 UTC)

Mister Froggy sent word that Halo, Articulated #53 is out – it’s July-Fourth related, and it makes more sense if you read yesterday’s Halo Toy Box. (Link is provided on the comic page, for your convenience.)(Louis Wu 11:02:41 UTC)

Newspail has an editorial discussing the shift in player attitudes between Halo and Halo 2 – with speculation as to why. Language is PG-rated, but the thinking is worth following. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 10:59:46 UTC)

It almost never works this way… but sometimes, ye can ask, and ye shall receive. rapture wondered if we had an RSS feed for One One Se7en – we didn’t. rapture said “but you should. It’s easy and useful.” rapture was right. So here you go. (If you are…

Over at Bungie.net, you’ll find another batch of high-res images – this time, it’s renders of various armor variations. Very nice! Thanks, MasterChief2829.(Louis Wu 20:03:41 UTC)

Games.net has posted the second in the series of Gamepro video interviews with Bungie developers; this one is with Frank O’Connor and Brian Jarrard, and covers everything from multiplayer to Bungie’s relationship with Peter Jackson. 5 minutes – go wat…

Nick, from HaloDev, wrote to say that there was a new update about Prometheus (the Halo-everything editor) posted on their site; lots of details about what’s gotten better. Sounds like they’re nearly ready to beta-test it, even. Go read!(Louis Wu 19:1…

Sane Intolerant let us know that there was a new episode of Halo Toy Box. I have nothing useful to say about it, so I’ll just tell you it’s there.(Louis Wu 19:00:33 UTC)

Urban Reflex lost his net connection about halfway through the Halo 3 Beta – but he’s (sort of) back now, and there’s a new update at Ordained Insight. It’s an interview with some friends about the beta; give it a read! (By ‘sort of back’, I mean he s…

Mister Froggy has posted Halo, Articulated #52 – just in time for tomorrow’s US holiday.(Louis Wu 12:41:18 UTC)

Kotaku has another article about Kotobukiya’s upcoming $99 Master Chief statue – along with a few pictures from Toy News International. Interchangeable weapons… nice. (It’ll look great on my shelf next to the Muckle statue…)(Louis Wu 12:20:06 UTC)

Pro-G looked at Halo 2 Vista, and found it lacking – buggy, visually unimpressive, too slow to be worthy of the title ‘PC Shooter’. (You’re certainly welcome to disagree.) Overall rating was 6/10 (enjoyable).(Louis Wu 12:12:08 UTC)

Sean Mortensen sent along a piece of music (MIDI format, 139 kb) he wrote as a score for a section of Nylund’s ‘Ghosts of Onyx’, because he was inspired by the book. He knows it sounds a little like the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End score, …

There’s a small interview with Frank O’Connor over at CVG – discussion of what got learned from the beta, and what might be changed by the time we see the final product. Nothing horribly new, but if you’re looking for confirmation that Snowbound was i…
