Wow. MonoxideC has finished his Halo PC AotCR Multiplayer conversion – you can download it from Halomods (7 mb). It replaces Derelict in the map rotation. Thanks to James for the heads-up.

Ducain has brought his own tricking site, High Impact Halo, online. A great place to go for nicely done movies! Check it out. (Comments can be put in this forum thread.)

Tournaments coming up soon: X Tournaments has a 3v3 tourney scheduled at 5 pm on Saturday, April 10; details can be found on the website. (There’s also a movie of a 2v2 tourney a week or two ago, for registered users.) Also, CJ (from the Enna Wars team) posted recently about a tournament in the…

Subzero Rivalries has put up another episode – Spring Break comes to Sidewinder. Thanks to MarkHawk for the heads-up.

Strato has posted a download link (and new pictures) of the finished UT2k4 Blood Gulch map we mentioned a few days ago. (It wasn’t finished then, and apparently shouldn’t have been posted.) Go grab a copy; there are three servers online running this map!

Alexander Valient found a new Halo-related comic by Andy Yuan. (We mentioned him last August, when an earlier comic was discovered at Elfwood.) Nice!

Red vs Blue has posted a bizarre collection of Sarge outtakes for Sponsors – 2:29 of surreal reminiscences and pretzel dips. Thanks to Ross Mills for noticing.

Back in mid-January, a puzzle was kicked off at Yahoo Groups by Skavenger, BOLL, c0ld vengeance, and MorningStar. We just received word from MorningStar that it’s come to a close… and the winners are ModdedCyborg, Sgt. Bigglesworth, and Gutupio, in that order. Congrats, guys!

It’s music day here at HBO. We got word from Marc at Halo Universe that they had a new piece of fan music, created by Noah Hofmann, called ‘Halo: The Resistance’. It’s a gorgeous piece… techno-ish. It reminded us that there were a couple of pieces here, waiting in the queue… what better time to…

BOLL, never one to rest on his laurels, has added yet ANOTHER cool feature to his AutoMagic 117 Stripmaker – now you can choose the background color! Specify it via the sliders, if you want… or just type in the hex code you’re looking for, if you know it. Changes happen in real time. (All…

Travis Cossel sends in a Halo sighting in a relatively obscure magazine called ‘Boards’ (it’s aimed at television advertising types). The current issue contains an interview with a creative talent for the ad agency OWN+P (they’ve been developing commercials for EA Games, among others), and the response to ‘what is your favorite game?’ was interesting:”I’ve…

So, while I was out enjoying my family last night, mnemesis was updating the front page… but he didn’t stop there; he went a little nuts with the Halo Story Page mailbag. For a while, Finn has been carrying the ball… but it looks like a lateral pass took place somewhere without anyone noticing. Go…

In case you have a boatload of cash sitting around, and you’re wondering how to make your Halo playing experience more gratifying… Frankie has written up a nice article over at Bungie.net called ‘Halo Home Theater’, running down some of the nicer toys you can buy for improving your audio-visual intake. Go read it!

There’s a new .comic over at Subnova; Boxer[sn] looks at one of the more annoying practices on public HPC servers, and one nice way to take care of it.

Halo made it to the Final 8 in Gamespy’s Title Fight… but lost today to Half-Life, by almost 3000 votes. Not unexpected… but disappointing. Better luck next time, guys!

Halo Babies has a new comic up… and it’s the start of an actual SERIES (with a plot, and everything). Go take a look!

Never too late for One One Se7en – this one points out one of the coolest pages of artwork we have here at HBO. Go look. And get bubbles around your head.

20 pieces of Fan Fiction today – sorry they didn’t get out earlier. Halo: Lost and Found, by Riley217 Civilian Assault, pt. Three- Unexpected Air Support, by ONI_operative_343 Operation: Stingray Ch. 2: –Desperation–, by Nick Kang Assault Part 3: What no Pelican?!, by Joe Ehret Prodigal Son: Part 6 (beginning), by Scott Devary Battle of…

Halo: Resolution begins to get… weird. (As a side note: Fuzzy would appreciate it if you email him if you notice his sprites being used on another website. Thanks!)

On March 12, we mentioned that the US version of the Special Edition Halo-branded Xbox would be available ‘very soon’. Since it was the third news post about that Xbox in as many days, we said we were done talking about it… but yesterday, IGN posted a story about it – and until this morning,…
