  • Briar’s Armor – finished!

    Remember Briar’s Armor? (We’ve mentioned them a few times.) The Master Chief armor is finished – and tonight we got a pair of images in our inbox. Gorgeous work! Full body shot (343K) | closeup (296K)

  • Podtacular Episode 6

    Podtacular Episode 6 has been posted – 90 minutes long, highlight is an interview with Overswarm, the author of the Not So Common Sense strategy guide hosted right here. Thanks, henry brown.

  • Broken Halo – or Whiny Writer?

    Last night, Ename Nep pointed out an article over at 1Up.com, entitled ‘Broken Halo: Five ways Bungie can fix Halo 2’. It’s nothing that hasn’t been said a thousand times before on Halo forums the whole ‘net round… what makes this somewhat surprising is the fact that it shows up, in this form, on a…

  • Corpseguy’s finished helmet

    Last month, we mentioned a helmet being created by corpseguy – I noticed today over at HaloPlanet that he’s posted a bunch of photos of the finished product. It looks great! Check it out.

  • Gamecloud from PAX

    A message came in yesterday morning that got missed – Gamecloud has coverage from the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle; you’ll be able to watch the episode of Red vs Blue that showed there Friday night (and at Lincoln Center in New York a week ago) at RvB’s site tomorrow, but today you can read…

  • Even More Montages

    Two different montages (both hosted over at halo2forum.com) were posted on our forum today – SWAT Halo69’s 7th Montage and Halzred’s Montage 3. They just keep coming…

  • Now THAT is amazing.

    We’ve mentioned the Twin Galaxies Legendary Run competition a couple of times before – yesterday, Cody Miller posted on our forum that he’d completed the challenge: Halo 2 on Legendary, with no deaths. All I can say is… wow. Read his post for details.

  • LAN Of The Free.

    One last thing before I hit the road – Stuntmutt created a special Sunday One One Se7en to commemorate his favorite moments of his trip to the US. We wish him all the best getting back home.

  • And to all, a good night.

    The lanfest that has been going on here for a few days will continue for a day or more to come – but unfortunately, it will do so without me. I need to head home to be with my family and responsibilities… but there was a game tonight that was notable for its competitors; we…

  • Suffer THIS!

    That’s pretty much the end of updating for the day. An internationally-attended lanfest (notables include Stuntmutt, c0ld vengeance, BOLL, and Canada’s Anton P. Nym, as well as US-based folks like Ducain, Warbow, and Shishka) kicks into full gear – it’s been going for a while now, but the largest number of attendees will be here…

  • Podtacular Ep 5

    Podtacular! has posted Episode 5 of their Halo 2 podcast – Warlock and custom gametypes head the topics of this hour and a half audio blog. Thanks, Kaizer Bun.

  • Rendered Chief

    Wow, very cool. Chris Bryan has posted a couple of new renders from his upcoming reel – you can see them here and here. Gorgeous!

  • WaLKa Montage Preview

    WaLKa put together a preview for a new montage – sticks, snipes, sword kills, Halo and Halo 2. Nice to see footage that combines the games! You can find a download link on our forum, and another (larger by far) thread about the vid over at Halo2Forum.com (thanks, Z). 62 mb, MPEG-2 format.

  • Bijou? Like the theater?

    The Weekly What’s Update is now posted at Bungie.net – info about PAX, info about the new playlists coming out in the next couple of weeks, a larger version of Mike Hill’s amazing warthog pic we posted this morning, and a really, really scary pic of Mister Chief in a speedo. (Blame DanteThePoet if your…

  • Can’t Touch This.

    A movie called ‘Untouchable’, by TheHaloGod, cleared our Movie Peer Review Rating System this morning, with a pretty unprecedented score. It’s a montage vid – but the timing is simply astounding, and the music choice is great. As luck would have it, I’m not anywhere near home today (nor will I be for the next…

  • You drive the warthog, I’ll shoot.

    Recently, Red vs Blue enhanced their website with a ‘Featured User’ option – each day, a different member is chosen, and people get to meet someone they might otherwise have overlooked in this community of thousands. Not long ago, one of these Featured Users was Elnea, an eye surgeon who enjoys playing Halo with her…

  • Karl Friedrich… Uh…

    Too many people can’t pronounce important words – it’s Stuntmutt to the rescue. Today’s One One Se7en is brought to you by the word Gauss and the Number 7.

  • He’s gonna need some buffing…

    We got an art submission this morning that blew me away – I’m not going to have time to process the Miscellaneous Art queue right now, but I thought this should make it out into the community. Mike Hill put together a gorgeous action shot (347K) showing the Master Chief making use of that Warthog…

  • 100

    Halo Babies has hit 100! The current strip is a lot of fun – and has spawned three new desktops besides. Go read!
