The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft

Year: 2008

  • Baby Got Back

    Elnea has posted Halo Action Figure 135, and once again she’s focusing on the physical. (Or maybe Jason’s focusing on the physical. I’m not sure.) Either way, though, any strip that references Buckaroo Banzai can’t be all bad.(Louis Wu 11:01:09 UTC)

  • The Return of the Sniper

    Ultimate Dragon let us know that Sniper vs Noob Documentary #3 has been released – it’s more a vehicle for showing off fun Forge ideas than a serious machinima, but it’s nicely presented. Take a look!(Louis Wu 10:59:02 UTC)

  • Halo 3 Championship – kicking off tonight

    SketchFactor reminds everyone that the official playlist for the Halo 3 Championship sponsored by the Army and Xbox.com will be online starting tonight, at 9pm PDT. (That’s a little more than 15 hours from the time of this writing.) You’ve still got a few days to register, if you haven’t yet.(Louis Wu 09:49:42 UTC)

  • Recon’s in the works.

    Yesterday, Bungie posted an in-depth interview with Todd McFarlane, focusing on how his Halo action figures are created. There’s an awful lot of info there… take a look!(Louis Wu 09:46:02 UTC)

  • Send In Stuff for This Week’s Show: Callins and Tales from the Foxhole!

    Yeah baby, it’s the coolest show of all. This show is all about your stories from Halo 3 pwnage. Got an impossible stick? Splatter someone with your dropped weapon? Score a no-scope from across the map in mid-air? We want to know about it! Tell us your coolest stories… if it’s good we’ll put it…

  • Halo 3 Championship

    The U.S. Army / Xbox LIVE Halo 3 Championship gets underway on Tuesday, 3/11. The official playlist will be available starting at 9PM PDT.

  • Action Figure Party

    Todd McFarlane discusses – in great detail – how the Halo 3 action figures from McFarlane Toys go from concept to store shelves.

  • The Riot 90

    Sigafoos let us know (late) that The Riot 90 is now up – it was broadcast last night, but it took them until this morning to get the recorded version up. 22 minutes, 9 mb, community news, clan challenges, news, and scotch. Go listen!(Louis Wu 15:27:14 UTC)

  • My list is shorter… but some items are identical.

    Sep7imus pointed out a list at McSweeney’s Internet Tendency in which Nick Sustana itemizes a collection of things that will destroy his heterosexual marriage long before gay marriage ever will – and yes, Halo 3 is one of those things. Time for a constitutional ban?(Louis Wu 15:22:49 UTC)

  • Problems

    Sometimes Mondays are comic-heavy, even in this post-Stuntmutt age – today is one of those Mondays. TTL Demag0gue stopped by to apologize for the downtime, promise that it probably won’t happen again soon, and announce that Reclaimer Chapter Three, Part Ten is now up. He’s adjusted the look, and would like some feedback… he’s also…

  • The Halo 3 Lagovator

    Omega experienced a ‘feature’ of Xbox LIVE recently that he felt was worth sharing – what happens when lag keeps the host from knowing exactly where you are… even when you’re not moving? Now, I know it’s not the first time this has been experienced – it’s probably not even the first time it’s been…

  • Dressed for Work

    Elnea’s posted Episode 134 of Halo Action Figure Theater – and the questions about the plot of the series are becoming subsumed by… well, all I’m sayin’ is maybe McFarlane should have given Cortana a bikini top. That’s all I’m sayin’. (Louis Wu 14:50:08 UTC)

  • The 7 Deadly Sins of Voice Chat

    Computer and Video Games wrote up an article about Mario Kart Wii, discussing why voice chat would be a bad thing for it to have… and most of the negative examples are Halo-related. Ouch! (Louis Wu 14:46:31 UTC)

  • Signed Master Chief statue – a second opportunity

    Hawty McBloggy noticed that one of the Master Chief statues we helped auction off to benefit Katrina victims a couple of years ago is back on eBay – its owner needs to move, and it doesn’t fit. (Our original link is listed in her blog post.) Here’s your chance!(Louis Wu 14:44:59 UTC)

  • ZZoMBiE-papered walls

    ZZoMBiE13 got a bunch of requests for wallpaper renditions from yesterday’s edition of Another Halo Comic Strip – he supplied three different ones, which we’ve added to the Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 14:42:56 UTC)

  • Can’t beat that

    2phast pointed out that the next Larry the Marine is posted now – Larry discovers what DOES beat tank. (Louis Wu 14:40:45 UTC)
