  • Corn on the Halfshell

    It’s April 7, which means it’s time for another update of the One One Se7en Archive… we’ve got 12 strips for you today. Things will be changing soon… but for now, enjoy!

  • Military Intelligence – A Contradiction In Terms.

    One One Se7en brings the venerable knock-knock joke to new lows.

  • Smells Like ADD

    Halo: Resolution gets back to a slightly damaged piece of machinery today.

  • You win some, you lose some.

    Halo Phenom, a website we mentioned once, has decided to hang it up. G’Night, guys…

  • Just in time for the NEXT one…

    Not sure why it takes me so long every week… but last week’s Bungie Update has finally been added to the Bungie Updates archive. When you want to know whether Frankie has mentioned Zoe or Lorraine more… we’re here for you. (Lorraine wins this one, hands down – 8 to 4.)

  • haloTV – they like it.

    The CAL Season 1 Championship aired as planned on haloTV last night – but most of the 500+ people who tuned in to watch had to be turned away. (They had no idea how popular it would be!) The haloTV crew capped the viewer list at 50, but a higher-res, edited version of the match…

  • Halo 2 at E3

    Halo7 (with some help from Owm109) points out a page on IGN’s Playstation 2 site that contains a list of ‘official titles being shown’ at E3 this year… and Halo 2 is on it. No word about what SORT of ‘show’ we’re talking about…

  • Halo – it brings us together

    You gotta love it when the editor of the largest Mac magazine decides to write an editorial about how fun it is to play Halo (and how you can join him next weekend!). Gives you that warm fuzzy feeling… (thanks again, Ghôlsbane)

  • From Halo to Goldeneye 2

    A couple of days ago, eddie m noticed a page at IGN that mentioned that a ‘formerly integral member of Bungie’s development team on Halo’ is now at work on EA’s Goldeneye II. He wondered if anyone knew who this was. According to this Gamespot article posted today (thanks, Ghôlsbane), that former Bungie employee is…

  • Eat Needles!

    The dialogue man himself, Captain Spark, turned in a huge collection of Stacker quotes a couple of weeks ago. Using HaloPC, turning off extra sounds, and carefully planning who was onscreen during the filming allowed him to get pretty amazingly clean recordings of almost 200 new quotes, including some really funny ones I’ve never heard…

  • I thought Spartans LIKED workouts

    Today’s Calvin and Halo focuses on some little-known Covenant species…

  • The Angry Zen Master Speaks

    I missed this, three days ago, when it went live, and I didn’t even pick up on the references when shunji alluded to it on IRC yesterday… but Rampancy.net noticed it, so I got it on the rebound. Mat Noguchi, tools/sound programmer for Halo and Halo 2, has written a technical, but understandable-to-the-layman, explanation of…

  • haloTV – watch it

    haloTV, in beta, goes live. A venture led by cookedGamers synide and rapture, haloTV will be broadcasting Halo movies in streaming format for those interested in a quick fix. You can watch existing movies, but the strength of the format will show in examples like today’s CAL Season 1 Finals (8:30 pm CST, which is…

  • Team Sexy Goes Tournamenting

    SexyJosh points out a couple of writeups (and a movie) of some local Halo tournaments his group participated in; you can find the writeups, and a link to the movie (13.8 mb, 5:44 long, QuickTime format) on their site. Toys-R-Us tourney + Halo freaks = potential for Barbie abuse…

  • Modtacular!

    (GT)Juggler continues with the modding vids; Modtacular (GT video 8) is now up for download in the media section of Halo GT. Format is QuickTime MP4 – you’ll need the latest version of QuickTime to watch it. It contains clips of dozens of mods – everything from a Longsword on Blood Gulch to a maze-like…

  • Halo PC Teams needed!

    The Cyberathlete Professional League is unhappy with Halo PC registrations for the Extreme World Championships this summer; they’ve set a deadline. If there aren’t 32 teams registered for the Halo PC Tournament by Monday, April 26, they will cut the cash prize in half, and teams that want to cancel their registrations will be offered…

  • Crates? Pah!

    Today’s One One Se7en might have some… problems. Apologies.

  • Magical? Glowing? Must Be Endangered

    I’d tell you what Halo: Resolution was about today… but that would require that I understand it, first.

  • List. LONG List. Shaken, not stirred.

    Looks like a big collection of Fan Fiction, doesn’t it? If Mark Lieberg actually compacted some of his work, it would only be 21. Something to think about… HALO 2 MINISERIES BOOK, by Delta Force Halo 2: Chapter 2 ; Part 1, by Mark Lieberg Halo 2 :Chapter 2 ; Part 2, by Mark Lieberg…

  • Forerunners bigwigs interviewed at the Junkyard

    Steve Campbell and Tony ‘Octanus’ Poitra are the latest Halo-related additions to the Junkyard’s Spotlight collection. Steve brings his… interesting view of reality to his reminiscences of the early days in the Bungie community. Go read ’em both! Thanks to Mhaddy for the heads-up.
