  • Weekly WHAT?

    Hehe – isn’t it always that way? This week, the Bungie Weekly Update is right here at HBO… and I’m too busy playing Death Island CTF on Homelan_HBO_East to get it posted. OUCH! Go read it – it’s full of tasty morsels about dual needlers, glass shaders on the Pelican, and flank-forcing. Rockin’!

  • I Never Said I Was Billy Shakespeare.

    So the Fan Fiction section contains a seven-part story from Stuntmutt… and today’s One One Se7en takes a shot at Stuntmutt’s fanfic-writing ability. What are the odds?

  • Lanfest in MA Boonies

    Trickster and longtime forum resident vshields ash has posted information about an upcoming Halo LAN at his local EB; if you live within driving distance of Lanesboro, MA (near the confluence of the Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York borders), you should consider stopping by the Berkshire Mall on April 17 to join in – you’d…

  • Captain AND Trend Setter!

    Halo: Resolution looks at what might happen if Nightmare Armor expands their manufacturing base.

  • A plate of writing, with a side of corn

    Twenty Three pieces for you today in the Fan Fiction section… but remember, 7 of them are Stuntmutt’s Oh Thirteen series. It’s not as overwhelming as it looks. OlahJust your average halo spoof, by Mr.Elite of Antioc Summaries of a Sanctified Crusade, by xitWOUND117 Halo 2: Judgement Day Chapter 2, by Mibu Wolf Forever Credo…

  • Two to Tango

    There’s a new strip up over at Halo Babies – I liked it! Great hunters.

  • First Strike – major progress

    Last night, Crispy Spartan posted Update 6 for the First Strike mod. It contains information about the modeling they’ve been doing (what vehicles and weapons are coming along), but the big news is the need for voice talent; there’s a list of all parts needed, and an address to mail an application to if you’re…

  • Stomach Invasion

    I hate days like this. The whole day is gone before all the news is up… I almost didn’t get to today’s Calvin and Halo, which would have been bad, since it provides fantastic advice on how to get your children to eat vegetables. Game spoilers, for anyone still keeping track.

  • Titlefight Today

    Just a reminder – The Gamespy.com Titlefight for the winner of the Abandoned Base bracket commences today at 12 noon, PST. Halo squares off against Goldeneye 007… again. (Halo beat Goldeneye in the first round, but Goldeneye garnered enough votes to win an ‘extra life’ slot… and used it to make it to the finals.)…

  • Invisible to the Clothed Eye

    There’s a new Subzero Rivalries posted; I’d guess it was forged in frustration. Thanks to NickLee808 for the heads-up.

  • I want backup from Foehammer

    Wow, icanttype is converting the Truth and Reconciliation hangar to netmap; screenshots can be found here, on Halo mods. Looks fantastic! Thanks to Devin Olsen for pointing it out on our forum.

  • The Beauty of Halo – at 1600×1200

    HUDless screens – there are lots, but some stand out. And CuBaNo is one of those who make the stand-out kind. His latest batch (17 shots) can be found here. There are a few doozys.

  • Operative Word Is ‘The’

    The MC proves once again that comprehension IS important in today’s One One Se7en. (FWIW, I loved this strip.)

  • Now THAT’S A Nightmare

    Halo: Resolution gets thrown by the little guy. (Happens to me all the time.)

  • A brand new multiplayer level

    Interesting. There’s a 9 mb video of a new ‘multi-inject mod’ from Madrox, over at Halomods; it’s an entirely new level. (Architecture is pretty plain so far, but man, it’s all brand new.) In the absence of the HEK, I find it amazing how far folks are pushing things – but then, I saw an…

  • Desktop Gold

    New Wallpaper over at Yayap.com, DocOctavius’ site. Your favorite Gold Elite, rendered by the Doc himself. Comments can go here.

  • Lethal Rage 3

    Pico has submitted Lethal Rage 3, a massive (10:11 long, 35.7 mb) tale of heroism and courage, of finding the strength within to carry on when all hope is lost… and, well, to act like an idiot when you win. Cinematography is awesome, storyline is great, and there are some very nice stunts. VERY nice.…

  • Hands-Free

    Caskey has posted a new no-weapons mod over at HaloMods; the heads-up for us was the teaser screenshot he posted on our forum. Very cool!

  • Hang ’em Gulch

    We got a submission of a clan vid – Elite Army Drycape put together 4:18 worth of nice clips. Unfortunately, as I said earlier today, after a long dry spell, there are suddenly many good movies vying for our limited bandwidth. nof, of Ninjas On Fire (and the upcoming Halo National), has come to our…

  • Sleep? Not a chance.

    Remember when the things under the bed talked to you? Calvin does. Check out today’s Calvin and Halo.
