  • Jester’s Fourth Montage

    Jester submitted his fourth montage to our MPRRS – and they liked it. Heavy on the effects, but some great gameplay. Grab a copy in either WMP9 format (60.1 mb) or QuickTime format (64.2 mb), and enjoy!

  • MLG Dallas – almost $40k in Halo cash

    MLG Dallas is all over but the crying… the overall winners aren’t any real surprise (Final Boss took the 4v4, and the top 4 1v1 placers are all highly-known names), but as 3Suns points out, it’s nice to see the money spread out amongst the top 8 this time around. Full brackets are here.

  • DropShock Ep 16

    DropShock Episode 16 is out, focusing almost entirely on Halo 3. It’s a biggie…

  • Legendary

    Press Start to Play seems to be revisiting Halo quite a bit, now that the Halo 3 trailer is out – Friday’s strip was Halo-related again. Thanks, Spec ops Grunt.

  • Giving Bungie a little love

    The awards continue to roll in; Voodoo Extreme has posted its Best of E3 Awards, and Halo 3 stole ‘Best Movie’ away from Metal Gear Solid 4. Nice! Thanks, Apache.

  • We’re HBO – no, the OTHER one.

    Heh – Funkmon got his new HBO shirt onto a TV broadcast of yesterday’s Detroit Tigers game… anyone got a tape?

  • Duck and Cover

    We’ve posted a larger version of Theo Prins’ ‘Duck and Cover’, the image he created for our t-shirt raffle. I just LOVE that style. He has a bright future ahead of him…

  • Friday’s Fanfic – on Sunday

    Gah – Friday was so crazy I forgot Fan Fiction again, and Saturday… wasn’t much better. Here is the collection for the week – 31 pieces (though an awful lot of them are short poems by a single submitter…).

  • Arbiter

    Yesterday, we added a larger-than-the-contest-thumb version of Bryn Casey’s beautiful ‘The Guardians’ to his Gallery page – we need to do the same with the other artists who submitted new work for our t-shirt raffle. I’m going to start with Paul Davies’ ‘Arbiter’, because, well, we’ve had a new image of his every day for…

  • Halo: Portable Update

    Gah – nearly forgot. Mintz pointed out that Halo Portable is back up and running after a short hiatus – check out what’s coming (as well as some new wallpaper).

  • More Mehve Marvelousness

    Two years ago, Lorraine McLees spent a good chunk of her time at the Bungie E3 Fanfest drawing on-the-spot graphics for raffle winners (and, accidentally, for me) – we posted a note about one of the images she did, for Eric Good, last year… and this weekend, Cunbelin dug out and sent along his own…

  • IGN says Halo 3 among the best of E3

    Grey Wolf noticed that IGN gave Halo their ‘Best Non-Playable Presentation’ award in their Xbox 360 Best of E3 article. Guess maybe they should talk to the Gamepro folks…

  • See You In A Fortnight.

    The man is gone – in more ways than one. Stuntmutt gets married today, and in honor of this auspicious occasion, he’s created a very special One One Se7en – check it out. (As yesterday’s strip mentioned, the next two weeks will be covered by guest artists – we’ve got some pretty good stuff for…

  • In Soviet Russia

    KeyboardKiller submitted ‘Totally Random Act 5 – In Soviet Russia’ to the MPRRS, and the reviewers thought it was pretty funny. Great use of mods. Apologies to Yakov Smirnoff… you can grab this in the original DivX format (15.7 mb), or in WMP9 format (15.6 mb) or QuickTime format (15.2 mb) if they’re more convenient…

  • He’s in a better place now.

    Wow. JakeDaGreat told a story, in pictures, of what happened to Mister Chief after he was assembled from Frankie’s origami stuff in the latest BWU. Read the whole thread – there are updates, and side stories, and… (other pictures, too, thanks to Bluegrunt and Greenskull.) Update: There’s more of ’em, here – this batch from…

  • Captain Tobias Wilcock.

    Today’s One One Se7en speaks for itself… tomorrow’s the big day, and if you’ve got your speakers on, you’ll even get an explanation for the title. CONGRATULATIONS, STUNTMUTT!

  • Eat THIS!

    Must be art day – Paul Davies has another image for you, too. This one is pretty spectacular, though its primary character isn’t anything you’ve ever seen in-game… feel sorry for those ODSTs!

  • A Whole Bunch of Nothing

    Gamepro was pretty unhappy with the Halo 3 trailer… go read why. Thanks, Insectoidone.

  • Bigger and Better

    Shane Kim talked to CVG – Halo 3 came up a lot. Go read.

  • Action Figures For Sale

    X1Zero has a pretty large collection of action figures he’s trying to get rid of as a lot; he’s coming to the Halo community first, before heading to eBay. Check out the post – there’s an amazing array in there!
