  • That’s alotta pictures…

    If you haven’t gotten enough of the Kotobukiya action figure coming out this fall, Action-Figure.com has 119 new pictures of it. You could almost build a QTVR 3D image from this… except for the weird lighting.(Louis Wu 11:12:36 UTC)

  • The nails that secure the shoes that…

    Yesterday, an interesting report came out of Taipei – demand for components for the DVD-ROM drives that go into 360s began to rise… and they began to rise because the production of 360s is ramping up to handle the demand that will be generated by th…

  • Gaming The Game In Halo 3

    While part of me still hopes somehow that the list of Halo 3 Achievements discovered awhile back at Xbox.com is not entirely legitimate, or at least not complete and final, it did contain something quite interesting. The final nine achievements are wo…

  • RT: Fourth on the 4th

    First of all, happy 4th of July to everyone. Hopefully, you’re celebrating today somewhere a little more sunny than Austin, TX. It’s been raining non-stop here for the past three weeks, or maybe years, I’m not sure anymore. We were going to have a cook…

  • My Halo 2 XBL Experiment

    Can I find a group of racist twelve-year-olds trying to ruin my Halo 2 experience if I tried? I just read an article that lamented the state of Halo 2 Matchmaking. While articles like these aren’t new, this one prompted me to try something out; I’m goi…

  • Slapstick Figures.

    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…

  • WhatEVER.

    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…

  • I gotta get me one of those.

    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 Logo Contest

    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)

  • When Worlds Collide

    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)

  • The title could be pithier.

    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)

  • Way Beyond the Beta: Screenshots Galore

    Months ago, media mens came to the Bungie headquarters to get some new scoops in the wake of the Halo 3 Public Beta.

  • RT: Ready the fireworks

    Sorry for the late posting today, I just stepped on the plane from LA. Thanks to all who came out to say ‘hi’ at Anime Expo. Hope to see you there next year.

  • RSS Delivery.

    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…

  • Hot Dog! Armor.

    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)

  • Frankie/Sketch Interview on Games.net

    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…

  • Prometheus Update #7

    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…

  • The Banshees And The Drones

    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)

  • Last Ordained Insight Update

    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…

  • 343 Party Pooper

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