  • Halo The Miracle

    Noah Hofmann, who used to go by the name ‘Shrike’, but now goes by ‘Ultrash’, has turned in a third piece of Halo Fan Music. (The first two can be found here.) This one is called ‘Halo The Miracle’, and is an 8-minute-long, 9.2 mb mp3 which is great to listen to. Ultrash is happy…

  • Hopefully, it’s not next to a ‘Baby on Board’ sticker.

    Dave Writz pointed out the new bumper sticker on his mom’s car…

  • Tigers cheat.

    Today’s Calvin and Halo shows why you should never play games with sneaky tigers. (Or sneaky game documentarians, either… Just ask Dan Chosich.)

  • The Misc Art Flood Continues

    The second batch of Miscellaneous Art is now posted – 32 pieces, covering authors beginning with C through P. There is some truly spectacular stuff in this batch; look at ALL of it, but certainly don’t miss work by DC, Gruntsbane, Iatro, and NeoFreak. (The first batch, if you missed it, was posted yesterday. The…

  • Words.

    20 new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section – after I deleted the garbage. It’s becoming less and less fun to manage this particular subsection of the site…

  • I’d Say More Like Stone Cold…

    One One Se7en looks at a recent Bungie Weekly Update – MC shows that you can dress him up, but you can’t take him out.

  • Handle With Care Contents Fragile

    Bah. I hate forgetting. It’s still today… for a little while longer. Today’s Halo: Resolution has the cardboard box meeting up with… trouble.

  • MC Bust

    Wow. NeoFreak posted some pictures of a Master Chief bust he made a while ago out of Sculpey – I’d find a spot for that in MY home! Beautiful.

  • Miscellaneous Art – The Beginning

    Wow. It’s been a LONG time since the Miscellaneous Art section was updated. I decided it was time to stop putting it off… I process 86 entries today. Neither the server, nor folks on slower connections, can handle that kind of load, though, so I’m going to release them in 30-image batches. They’re currently sorted…

  • Bowing to public demand…

    Okay, I wasn’t going to add yesterday’s mini-update to the Weekly Bungie Update Archive… but it turns out Frankie even created new Mister Chief artwork… how could I pass it up? The (tiny) item is now part of the official record. Sheesh. (Thanks, Jager.)

  • Trautmann is moving on

    Eric Trautmann has updated his blog with the information that he won’t be involved in any future Halo projects for Microsoft. As he says,”…it feels reaaaaaally weird to know that things like hypothetical novels or comics or whatnot will happen on someone else’s watch.”Trautmann has been a guiding force on Halo novels and the like…

  • Halo 2 Print Ad Redux

    TeamXbox has posted higher-res versions of the first Halo 2 ad (we posted lower-res scans on Sunday) – stop by if you want a better look! Thanks, LaMuerte.

  • A close look at Oddball

    Sparky has written the second of his series of Guides – this one is a Guide to Oddball. (The first can be found here – it was a guide to vehicle handling.) It (and the rest of the series) has found a permanent home at Rampancy.net – this is ideal, because the format gives people…

  • On The Battlefield

    Sep7imus has whipped up a fun morale booster for the Covenant home front – a 3:08, 11.2 mb QuickTime video that gives those left behind a reason to cheer for their soldiers! You can find copies on files.bungie.org and mythica.org.

  • Tiniest Update Ever!

    Hehe – looks like Frankie posted a mini-update over an the Underground forum. One item – but it’s great to hear! (Thanks, Jager.)

  • Racing Times

    A couple of new times have been added to the Going Nowhere Fast leaderboard – Truth and Reconciliation is now down below 25 minutes, and AotCR is less than 7 minutes. A reminder: The contest ends in a little over a week! That means if you’re mailing a tape, it needs to get mailed SOON.…

  • Avast ye mateys!

    There are lots and lots and LOTS of Bungie fans that would love to see the game played out in today’s Calvin and Halo. Hmm…

  • Halo – on an IMAX screen

    The third annual Maxgames tournament will take place in the IMAX theater in San Jose next month – a short article about it can be found on 1Up.com. The first iteration of this event was attended by vector40, who wrote up his experience for our audience. Thanks to Fuzion, this time around, for pointing it…

  • Halo Countdown for OSX

    For Mac OSX users, Matt(Uh…#5?) has created a Konfabulator Widget to countdown to Halo 2. Details (pics, links, you name it) can be found in this forum post. Update: both Matt and Sanchezthellama have made available new versions with fixed dates (Matt’s also has a different background). Cuts waiting time by a month or so.…

  • MLG Pro – Tourneys Galore!

    Dolbex dropped us a note about a pretty major overhaul to the Major League Gaming website – there is a TON of new Halo content there. In fact, there’s an entire Halo subsection, with links to all the fun stuff – but the beauty of this is, it’s a whole bunch of sites, bundled into…
