  • First Strike Mod – moving along

    Farsight has posted another First Strike Mod Weekly Update on our forum; they’re making progress on several fronts, but the included artwork is just disturbing.

  • Team Sexy – Your One-Stop Tourney Shop

    TS.Films has decided to open a new section of their website; it will be devoted to Tournaments. They’re hoping to provide a centralized location where folks can post information about upcoming tourneys in their area, or results and recaps from tournaments they participated in. They’ve started the ball rolling with recaps of a couple of…

  • Halo Elite Packs – last go-round

    A number of people have written to us about those Special Edition Halo-branded Xboxes; they’re available in Australia now, and they WILL be available in the US, very soon. I’m sure the list of countries where you can buy one is much, much longer than this… but I think we’ve gotten the point across; if…

  • It’s Harrison Bergeron all over again

    BOLL is still playing the Flash game… though I warn you, don’t open this with your volume set high. And don’t open it at ALL if you’re epileptic.

  • The Arkenstone?

    Finn writes to mention a ‘small’ update on the Halo Story Page… sort of like King Kong is a ‘little ape’. Go check out the latest dredging from the HSP mailbag.

  • Halo Elite Pack

    Recently, we mentioned a special edition Halo-branded Xbox for sale in Korea – ZigZag Master pointed out one that’s being marketed in New Zealand. You get a green Halo-branded console, a green S-controller (with the ‘X’ in the center replaced with a Halo logo), plus the game, in a box labeled ‘Elite Force Pack’ for…

  • Orbital Bombardment, the Old-Fashioned Way

    Calvin and Halo looks at alternatives to plasma-based weapons that might be more available to a 6-year-old.

  • He IS Green, After All.

    Today’s Guest One One Se7en comes from Shalashashka Snake – and it looks at one aspect of the Chief’s day-to-day functioning that I would probably be fine not thinking about at all, thank you.

  • Halo Babies Comic up for sponsors

    Once again, Halo Babies has released their comic early for sponsors. I liked it a lot. (It was actually released on Monday, but I just noticed now, thanks to Rampancy.net.) It will be out for the general public on Friday.

  • Advertisement for Birth Control

    The Battleground: Halo Mailbag has been updated. (Well, it was updated a couple of days ago, but site troubles kept it from being visible at first.) Dunno… Viper seems a little… angry.

  • Lights Up

    CENOBITE, an artist mentioned a few times in our news, has been spotlighted over at the Junkyard; go read about what makes him tick.

  • Oh, That Weasel!

    That Weasel Television is currently hosting a RAFT of new movies; some we’ve announced here, a couple are exclusive to them. They’ve got direct downloads of the Evolution of Halo video, both halves of the Trickety Trick vid released recently, and a pair of short vides from Dre and TnP that aren’t hosted anywhere else.…

  • Ooh, shiny

    kerrhalla452 has released a new Halo 2 MC skin, over at Halomods; it’s pretty slick-looking. Thanks to c4trmnator for the heads-up.

  • New Project Halo Contests

    Project Halo is hosting two new contests on their forum; one to name their group, the other to replace ‘Project Halo’ as the project name. Rules and prizes can be found in this thread on their forum.

  • Nightmare Armor in Seattle – soon Austin

    The Nightmare Armor guys visited Bungie’s offices yesterday; you can see their helmet on the Webcam, at the moment. Webshift popped onto our forum to thank Bungie for the opportunity, and to mention that they would be at the the South by Southwest film festival in Austin next week. (Red vs Blue will be there,…

  • Trick mirrors

    Couple more mirrors popped up for goatrope and co.’s Trickety Trick Part Deux movie; Yayap offers this one in the UK, and Alex Edelman put this one up on his [HOH] site. Thanks, guys! Update: oops, and That Weasel Television, too! I need to read ALL my mail before posting…

  • More Halo sites

    Couple of websites mentioned recently on our forum; HALO2UMAN pointed out his Information Database, and K-Twizzy let folks know about HaloPimpz. The family grows…

  • Special Halo Edition Xbox

    Funky. KingScott found a page on OXM’s Korean site showing a ‘HALO Special Edition’ translucent green Xbox. It’s available only in Korea.

  • Shake That Thang

    Ragnarok shows off the Dancin’ MC. I gotta say – he’s pretty funny! 13 seconds, 672K, in DivX format.

  • The Evolution of Halo

    Wow. Maybe not the best night to be doing this… but you play the hand you were dealt, right? Back in 2002, Bungie showed a pretty cool movie to the attendees of the E3 Fanfest. It was called ‘Evolution of Halo’, and it was a look at some very early builds of Halo, with voiceover…
