  • Was It Something He Said?

    Today’s One One Se7en is much funnier if you’ve ever played online with MereCatfish. Or maybe it’s not.

  • More MySpace Contact Box Options

    Ajay let us know about another MySpace contact box he’d created (we mentioned one a couple of weeks ago) – you can see it, and grab code for it, on his forum.

  • Alonewinder

    EchoZuluFilms has released Alonewinder, a HaloCE map designed primarily for the machinimas ALONE and Major Tom Diaries. It’s a 13 mb download. (Sounds like it’s sidewinder with new vehicles and weapons.) One of the new weapons is the Boomstick; it started life as a simple shotgun mod, but now is a totally separate weapon. Thanks,…

  • Last T Update

    Just a reminder: your last chance to buy an HBO T (and register for the poster art raffle and/or the DeanFest raffle) is midnight tonight, central time; that’s a bit over 14 hours from now. It’s 1 am on Tuesday EST, 10 pm PST, and 6am Tuesday UTC. After that time, the raffles will be…

  • LEGO Halo Summary

    Cool. Saber-Scorpion, a long-time LEGO Halo fanatic (check our news for some older posts) has put up a nice summary page of LEGO-based Halo creations around the web. Thanks, Jono.

  • As Twilight Falls

    This is one of the stranger bits I’ve seen… but Elnea has created a Halo-themed Waltz – As Twilight Falls can be found on her .Mac space (with an explanation and lyrics), or via direct download from us (3.1 mb, MP3 format) If we bring down the .Mac page, we’ll host a mirror of it,…

  • Dustbowl Megabattle

    Wow. rockslider has discovered a new, untapped location for a megabattle in Halo – the dustbowl in Truth and Reconciliation (just before the gravity lift area). Go read up on it at the Bad Cyborg site!

  • Net Neutrality, and Plasma Grenades

    This Spartan Life has a new video blog up – it looks at the subject of tiered internet service, and why it might be bad for you, me, and everyone except the large corporations with the cash to pay for premium service. Funny stuff about a serious topic! (10.8 mb, QuickTime format.)

  • Would cannons really make it better?

    Over at PALGN (an Australian gaming site), there’s a column called ‘The Wrap’ which takes a quick look at gaming stories from around the web. The one up now looks at, among other things, the news that MLG Pro has inked a deal to put video gaming on cable television. The author thinks it’s a…

  • New work from an old friend

    Interesting. An artist known as GT Gundam over at DeviantART has been turning out great Halo artwork for years – we recently added a bunch of missing images to our Miscellaneous Art section, with his permission. Today, Juan Anselm points out that he’s gone and created a new DA account, and has begun to populate…

  • Individual Recognition

    Over at MLG, there’s an interview with Gh057ayame – he’s been nominated for the Scion Player of the Year award. Go read about what that means. Thanks, 3Suns.

  • Halo References in Pop Culture

    Heh. Over at Fark.com, one of the tidbits picked up yesterday was a story about a new pirate-fighting center opening in Mombasa. Fark’s footnote: “Prophet of Regret unavailable for comment” – cute. Thanks, Paul Marsh.

  • Near-Cinematic Brilliance

    IGN’s got a nice review of the Halo 2 Original Soundtrack Volume 2 – with minor exceptions, they gushed over it. Go read!

  • Fan Girls

    Heh – whoda thunk it? Lost the Lead has a Silent Hill/Halo crossover. Yes, Pinkuh’s a little… odd. Great artwork, though!

  • The snarkiness of critics

    Wow, what a nasty shot. Some guy writes a daily blog on MS stuff – and in a paragraph making fun of MSN as a portal (and some of the silly things they tried in an attempt to gain market share), he made this snide comment:Those days are largely laughed about today, in the same…

  • We Don’t Need No Steenkin’ Patches

    Blayne’s got another batch of UNSC/UESC patches for sale – the first batch of 50 sold pretty quickly. If you missed it, but want one of these puppies… swing by MaraMERCH!

  • Vomitous Lumps

    Weekly Update is up – pretty short, because Frankie has no time, but hey. OMG – no Mister Chief. Louis am cry. Update: DOH! Forgot to mention that this was available in our Weekly Update Archive, as well. Update 2: Frankie rocks – he added an Angsty Mister Chief, just for me. I’m printing that…
