Year: 2007

If you’ve got a long memory, you might remember Nick Singer as the guy who was looking for Halo mods that needed original music a couple of years ago. He’s back – and this time, he’s mixing the music of Marathon and Halo, and doing a wonderful job of …

Mister Froggy sent word that Halo, Articulated #60 is up. Looks like the anti-smoking lobby is even more agressive in 2552 than they are today…(Louis Wu 02:58:30 UTC)

Wow, bizarre. According to MacGold Direct Online (a Macintosh game seller in the UK), MacSoft has discontinued the sale of Halo for Mac in the UK. There’s no announcement at all on their site, and it seems to still be available in the US – we’ve got n…

Sane Intolerant has finished his Halo/Transformers story arc for Halo Toy Box; There are four new strips (There’s Nothing You Can Do, Autobots Wage Their Battle, More Than Meets The Eye, and The War Has Just Begun). If you’ve been following this story…

Wired has an article about the Halo History Pack, a special Japanese-only release that contains Halo, Halo 2, and a disc that contains the system update that allows both games to run on the Xbox 360. (Since both games ran on the 360 on the day it was …

Sean Mortensen sent along another score, this one inspired by the cover of Contact Harvest, the novel coming out this fall. It’s called Harvest Suite; mp3 format, 1:38, 1.4 mb.(Louis Wu 02:01:28 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update is posted over at Bungie.net; Frankie and Sketch are off on a whirlwind tour of Europe (starting in Amsterdam), so it’s Luke holding down the fort tonight. He chatted with the Jasman Toys folks about their upcoming Laser Pursu…

Marc Rein, top dog at Epic, talked to CVG about Halo 3’s showing at E3. (Yeah, I sort of wondered about that, too.) He was discussing the lack of awards Halo 3 won this year (due to the lack of a playable demo, most likely) – and how it’s a good thing…

LostRock11 noticed that Master Chief makes an appearance in today’s PvPonline – nice.(Louis Wu 17:33:53 UTC)

reticence dropped into our forum to point out a Lego Bionicle Elite he built. (Use the ‘Download’ link on the left for a full-sized version – thanks, Kanbo.) Wort!(Louis Wu 17:08:06 UTC)

Server 3 just opened up at Halo3.com, moving the Iris ARG forward a bit – a perfect time for Stuntmutt to tie it in to One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 16:07:49 UTC)

Hellhawk sent us a bunch of Brute sounds for the Halo 2 Dialogue Databank; I can’t GUARANTEE none of them are repeats, but I’m pretty sure most aren’t, at least. Find an audio editor that lets you layer multiple sounds, and play ’em all at once – soun…

On July 16, we put up an odd picture. Two days later, we did it again. (Different picture.) Well, they were both teasers for Fathom, a new Machinima project from some heavy hitters in the machinima community – SodaGod, BlackouTT, Jamie98s, FantasyCubed…

Heh – Devin Olsen almost got away with a Halo 3 Legendary Helmet for cheap yesterday. I HATE it when store managers foil my plots!(Louis Wu 14:11:39 UTC)

Velez noticed a summary of the McFarlane pieces scheduled for the next year, over at Spawn.com; the Halo Series 2 data (near the bottom of the page, due June 2008) is new. (Louis Wu 14:09:02 UTC)

Australia’s Gameplayer has put up a review of Halo 3 Multiplayer – they say it goes ‘Beyond the Beta’, but there’s not a lot in there that wasn’t already known, and it’s missing some of the newest info out there. Thanks, MasterChief2829.(Louis Wu 14:0…

Ducain pointed this out yesterday – but it wasn’t until today that I had a chance to actually look at it. Juggertrout and Big Grunty Thirst have released a new Halo 1 trick vid – one that is pretty darned clever. They noticed that a particular Shade s…

Outback Heh – deadguy71 stopped by with word of a heretofore unseen level in Halo 2 – ‘Outback’. The grass is AMAZING.(Louis Wu 13:51:24 UTC)
