Today’s Guest One One Se7en strip was created by BOLL – and it shows that not everyone is enamored with Halo 3’s bubble shield. Folks might want to keep this strip in mind when playing against Stuntmutt this fall…(Louis Wu 17:03:15 UTC)

Sane Intolerant let us know that he’s created two new Halo Toy Box strips – he says they’re both centered around Shadowrun. Look Before You Teleport, and Reusable Targets. I don’t get them. But then, I never played Shadowrun. (Please don’t flood me wi…

Nathan Gibson, who’s maintaining the website Maximum Fear as a repository of information about the Iris ARG, let us know that he’d love some help. If you’re interested in working on extra content for the site (mostly editing and putting together theori…

Skavenger, unhappy that he’s been out of the Halo news for so long, has whipped up a really cool piece of machinima. Oh, wait, that’s right… he’s only really capable of mediocre films. Unwilling to foist that sort of work on you, he’s fallen back on…

Gravemind has taken a look at the human weapons Bungie has included in the Halo series, and wondered a little about how they’d work if Bungie had stuck closer to reality in their design. (As he says in his forum post, it’s just a “what if” speculation…

Wow. bs angel has customized her pink Spartan… with a screaming guitar. LOVE the frets. (Louis Wu 12:32:29 UTC)

TheGhost wrote to let us know that the author of the WowLoader program we mentioned yesterday has released the source code for his work, in the hopes that someone can pick up where he left off. The post he made on h2vista.net explains what’s missing or…

A few days ago, we mentioned an article at the Hushed Casket which detailed the situation with a college student swept up involuntarily in the Iris ARG – rapture just gave us the heads-up about a YouTubed clip from G4’s Attack of the Show in which the…

By now, the news that Falling Leaf is working on a program that will allow you to play Halo 2 Vista under XP is pretty common knowledge (though some of the issues with the company are not quite so commonly known – but that’s another story). They’re sh…

The last of ZZoMBiE13’s guest One One Se7en strips went up today, as a special Sunday Strip – Elites might be able to kiss better, but they’ve got some other problems.(Louis Wu 16:42:45 UTC)

EliteSniper177 extracted all the Halo artwork from his Halo 3 Zune, packaged it up in categories, and made a zipfile out of it. He also provides instructions on how to use them as backgrounds.(Louis Wu 16:39:49 UTC)

Sigafoos let us know that The Riot 53 is now up – discussion of their recent LAN, and of course community updates. Go listen – 26 minutes, 10.5 mb.(Louis Wu 16:34:01 UTC)

A couple of days ago, Rookie Rabbit Productions released The Spartan Effect: Episode 5. It’s up to their usual standards (check our news archive for older episodes), and they’ve asked for some hosting help, so that folks don’t have to deal with FileFr…

RVideo put together a collection of links to fan art on the DeviantART website that shows off female elites. Interesting way to spend some searching time!(Louis Wu 14:07:46 UTC)

Belchfire is offering a free XP Halo 3 theme – go see if it’ll make your desktop prettier!(Louis Wu 13:38:34 UTC)

A couple of random Halo references in yesterday’s F@NBOY$ – thanks, AngelicLionheart.(Louis Wu 13:32:24 UTC)

Littlebigman found a place where you can preorder McFarlane Halo stuff – in bulk. (As in, they’re not offering preorders on individual figures; you have to buy collections.) If you’ve got the cash, be first in your neighborhood with a preorder!(Louis…

Podtacular #117 (!!) has been released – an hour’s worth of discussion about the new ARG (and other stuff, of course), Guest host is KapnKrunk. 43 mb. Thanks, Big Goalie Dan.(Louis Wu 13:09:45 UTC)

HallwayGiant was at the Red Bull Flugtag event yesterday in Nashville (we mentioned it in early May), and snapped some pics of the Halo Ghostbike that was in the competition. From the Event Results page, it doesn’t look like they won anything – but ma…

Heh – Stuntmutt might be caring for a newborn (well, with help), but he’s still got time for teh funni – he stopped by the ARG forum yesterday to post a bonus shot at the ARG, and at a community regular – and he used the AutoMagic 117 Stripz script to…
