Over at IGN Movies, there’s a short article today about the Halo movie, and its current situation. Looks like the two likeliest possibilities are that 1) Warner Bros. and Paramount will step in with funding, or 2) Microsoft will go it alone. Either way, money isn’t going to be the biggest hurdle – it never…

Paul Maestri wrote to point out that Halo Heads 23 is now posted – and I must say, that’s got to be the best idea for an online mod I’ve ever heard of.(Louis Wu 18:37:30 UTC)

Yehsus submitted a trailer for his first Halo 2 montage to the MPRRS – they liked the synching, they liked the editing. Editing was done by HD Savage of QsK. It’s pretty short – under 2 minutes – because it’s just a trailer – give it a watch! 24.9 mb in WMP9 format, 22.8 mb…

Yesterday, EternalScrappy’s ‘Go To Sleep’, a video set to the tune of the same name by Eminem, came through our system – the music’s a bit harsher than we usually see around here, but the MPRRS passed it along, so we’ll do the same. You probably want to have the volume down if you’re watching…

The Halo Humpday Challenge seems to be harder and harder to keep as the weeks go by; this week, two Bungie employees lassooed two Cayote Cavegirls to provide at least a modicum of resistence to the opposing Hollywood Halo team. Didn’t go so well, for Bungie – they lost all three matches. Swing by to…

Eleven new stories and poems went live this morning in the Fan Fiction section – go read!(Louis Wu 14:25:58 UTC)

Deepblue stopped by our forum to announce that LEVEL, a large gaming mag in Sweden, has a huge Halo 3 section in their latest edition (not out on newsstands yet, only subscribers have it at this stage). He discusses some of the biggest bombshells revealed in the story – and if you’re the type of…

Paul Maestri shot us the word that Halo Heads 22 was posted – things NOT to settle with a Rocket Launcher. Go build your own list.(Louis Wu 20:10:11 UTC)

John Turner was checking the events calendar of his school, Shawnee University in Portsmouth, OH, and noticed that Peter Tamte was going to be speaking at a tech conference there tomorrow. (Yeah, we know – short notice.) It’s unclear how much of his Bungie experience will make it into this talk, but the blurb on…

Turtle Mann submitted ‘The SnowGlobe Show’ to the MPRRS recently, and they liked it. A variety show, with the comedy coming from the clan interactions. Give it a look! Available in WMP9 format (45.4 mb) or QuickTime format (47.9 mb).(Louis Wu 19:45:34 UTC)

Dennis Powers writes to point out The Halo CE Chronicles has kicked off Season 4, entitled ‘Static’. Episode 1 is now available for download. It tells the story of Petty Officer Alex Hicks, the last survivor of a UNSC crash on the First Ring World. Go grab a copy in WMP9, QuickTime, or streaming Flash.(Louis…

Very cool – Narcogen ran across an opportunity in Lacey, WA by reading Eric Trautmann’s blog; Jay Faerber, the author of the ‘Armor Testing’ story in the Halo Graphic Novel, will be on hand at Olympic Cards and Comics to sign stuff (and answer questions) this Saturday, October 28, from 1-5 pm. After the signing/Q&A…

While I slept (heh – right now, I’m not doing much else), KP dashed around to all the team members working on Halo 2 Vista (codenamed ‘Hired Gun’), and asked ’em a few questions for you. Go meet the guys (of both sexes) that are gonna be bringing you this masterpiece in just a very…

Wow. I have no idea about the background of this seller, or whether this is normal for this industry – but it seems like a pretty awesome opportunity for the right collector. BARBARIC_RAGE noticed an eBay auction, ending tomorrow night, for what purports to be a page of the original Simon Bisley artwork used in…

ChrisVioxxx stumbled across this online ad as he was websurfing yesterday – while I find it hilarious, I have the same problem Chris has – I have trouble seeing anyone with the authority to authorize this actually doing so. Which would suggest, funny as it is, look quick, cause it won’t be around for long.(Louis…

So this weekend’s big news was the pullout of Universal and Fox as backers for the Halo film. What does Stuntmutt get out of it all? A pun so bad it made me groan louder than this blasted pneumonia. Read today’s One One Se7en if you want to see it for yourself.(Louis Wu 15:11:05 UTC)

Devin White has been hard at work creating a Spartan helmet – he’s done a pretty amazing job! Check out some pics on this page.(Louis Wu 15:04:25 UTC)

Tnl Alex posted details of a New York City tourney on our forum this morning – FFA, 2v2 and 4v4, coming up on November 11. Entry fee is $10/pp for the FFA, $15/pp for the team games, with the pot being split up between the top three winners. Go read the forum post for more…

KP continues with his IM interviews of community members – this time, he snagged Zoom Demon, of the Cayote Cavegirls, for a pleasant little monitor-side chat over sandwiches and rice and orange chicken. You may think that KP picked Zoom Demon just because she was a hawt chik – but it’s not true. There are…

Ryan – 117 sent us a link to his new online comic – ODST Lock & Load. He’s looking for suggestions for the next comic – if you have any, toss ’em in the comments section!(Louis Wu 13:21:42 UTC)
