12 new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today – poems, songs, stories. Go read.

Back in July, we mentioned a teaser for a movie called ‘Halo Revolutions’ – it was footage of Legend, one of the best German Halo players out there, sniping… well, everyone. The full movie has now been released; it’s a 124 mb download (the .rar compression knocked 35 mb off the full size of the…

Victor Andersson has translated the Super Play article (a Swedish magazine) we added to our Press Scans area a couple of months ago – for those of you who don’t read Swedish, you can now see the text that goes with the pretty pictures! Thanks, Victor.

Boxer points out that Adventures in Disaster finally has its own website, with text and everything! Go check out the comic listing; there’s a new episode for today (Episode #13), though it looks like the MC isn’t too happy about it…

The final event of Major League Gaming’s 2004 season is going to be the Championship Invitational – head over to MLGPro.com to read the overview of the event. It’s being moved from Las Vegas (where it was originally planned to be) to New York City, on the weekend of October 23 and 24. The entire…

Sanjuro Tsubaki, who works at 7-Eleven, was kind enough to grab all three Halo2-themed Slurpee cups (we mentioned them Monday) and snap a couple of pictures. Side one (144k)… and side two (143k). To those offended by the cheapening of the Master Chief – live with it, this is popularity in the US.

Hehe – the power of fan outrage. The banner on the top of Sumthing’s main page has changed; all the band names have been removed. (Again, I’ve linked a local copy, in case of more changes.) Note – I don’t think this means that the involvement of those bands has been terminated – I think…

A sizeable update to the Halo Story Page today, from Finn – everything from potential story spoilers for Halo 2 (don’t worry, you have plenty of warning, you can read this update safely) to speculation about meteors. Go see what you can find!

Once again clearing out the queue (except for some DeviantArt pieces I can’t add without the authors’ permission), we’ve got 8 more pieces for you in the Miscellaneous Art Section. Some pretty nice stuff today!

Bah. Last week’s Bungie Update, originally posted at Subnova, has now been added to our Weekly Update Archive – at the cost of a bit of downtime. Watch for those infinite loops when you’re coding, folks!

Took a few days, but we’ve finally added the 1600×1200 versions of last week’s TGS screenshots that Bungie posted on Friday to our Screenshots database. Dang, that game is looking fine.

Okay, here’s a hint for you younger fans; if you’re gonna do something really stupid, don’t advertise. Today’s safety message illustrated by Calvin and Halo.

Monty Oum points out some Halo-related artwork he’s done over at DeviantArt – nice style!

Now THIS is bizarre. Sumthing Distribution, the folks who distributed the Special Edition Halo Soundtrack, have a new banner at the top of their main page. (I’ve linked to a local copy in case it goes away.) According to the banner, the Official Halo 2 Soundtrack will feature original music by Nile Rodgers, Incubus, Hoobastank,…

TeamXbox puts up their Top Ten Games of Fall 2004… and the number one spot is taken by – oh, you know. (Pico’s Fight Club response is pretty close to what I thought when reading the notice from daedalus.)

Nice pickup by op_ivy, who found the first notice on the Gaming-Age forums; on the back page of the October 2004 Xbox Live calendar in the November issue of the Official Xbox Magazine (between pages 24 and 25) is a note in the ‘What’s Happenin’ With Xbox’ section:Halo 2 Collector Cups: Now available at 7-Eleven…

Dave Candland, long-absent (presumably due to his work overload) from our forum, popped in today to explain his rationale for the location of the shield meter in the Halo 2 HUD. (You can see what it looks like in some of the pictures recently posted by the Japanese site Impress, like the one referenced in…

Mothergoat wrote to point out that Windsor Medium, the band he’s been a part of for some time, has broken up – and the website (which has housed all his Halo-related creations for the past 8 months or so) is gone. We’re unwilling to let this content simply disappear, so it’s all been mirrored on…

7he One has finally taken pictures of his handmade plasma pistol. Looks like it would work nicely for real-life melee attacks…

Not too long ago, Frankie mentioned in a Bungie Weekly Update that it was pretty cool to watch the evolution of the city bus as the Halo 2 artwork progressed. Stuntmutt, in today’s One One Se7en, takes this evolution to its logical conclusion.
