  • Subnova down – HBO running slow

    As some of you may have noticed, some of our subsections have been offline today; Subnova, who was hosting a chunk of our pages, has had some hardware failures. The problem is temporary… but until the box comes back up, we’ll be hosting all sections here, which will slow things down a little. And one…

  • Yayap.com opens its doors

    DocOctavius points out that Yayap.com is now up and running. Paintings, digital art, renders, wallpaper, 3d models… and it’s ALL original. w00t!

  • Know Your Place

    Tina Leyk has turned in another stunning pic; this time, it’s a mood piece of a Prophet. (It’s entitled ‘Know Your Place’.) You’ll find it on her Art page here (and nowhere else – she’s made this one an HBO exclusive); look for the ‘Added 10 March’ tag. Enjoy.

  • Like A Cup Of Sugar. But Funnier.

    Today’s One One Se7en is a crossover with EchoFourNineteen, the creation of the guys over at 343GS.com. Interesting timing on this one; 343GS is due for the rollout of a new design in two days. (Because they’ve been working on this, EchoFourNineteen didn’t come out last week – so anyone jonesing for their characters’ pretty…

  • Something Sinister Or Is He Just Crazy

    Your favorite floating bowling ball is back in Halo: Resolution.

  • [T]rickity trick trick. Part Deux.

    goatrope posted word that the second half of ‘Trickety Trickety Trick’ has been posted; goatrope, Devin, Essex, and Stuart played on the PC versions of the classic Xbox multiplayer maps, bouncing out of levels, climbing walls, and generally glitching their way through the system. Very, very cool rocket suicide at the end. You can find…

  • Wednesday’s Reading

    Thirteen pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today… Ackerson’s Betrayal: The Dark Side of Humanity Chapter One: Scratching the surface… With a nuke., by BloodBlade Life Was Peachy, by Solidus Snake The Halo Passages: Part 1–The Ring of the Heavens, by Zach Macchi Halo: Infinity I: Arrival, by Frightener The Chronicle of Squad…

  • Concept Art, too.

    Nice. We mentioned the new prophet pics NeXuS found on a press server he has access to; he also found some pretty cool concept art. 3 of the four pics are new, and the fourth is larger (and more raw) than its equivalent on Bungie.net. Check ’em out!

  • Of Prophets, and Thrones…

    NeXuS found some cool early renders of the Prophet on a press site today; they’re clearly older shots, but as far as I know, they’ve never made it out into the public before (especially not at this resolution). Nice find!

  • HPC – still selling well, 5 months later

    John Callaham, over at Homelan Fed, points out that Halo PC is STILL on the top 10 bestselling games list for the week of February 28 (it was number 7). Makes you wonder how much higher it would be if the editing kit were out…

  • Ambient Something Alright

    New Halo-based .comic over at Subnova, this time from Boxer… you know, come to think of it, I wouldn’t mind a cow or two in my next game of Halo. Hmm…

  • Smoking or Non-Smoking?

    Today’s Guest One One Se7en comes from Wavehawk – and brings home some good advice for kids.

  • Just another step in World Domination

    Calvin and Halo goes back to the Ouija board…

  • X-shots…

    zarrel40 has put up his own batch of HUDless screenshots – this might be the first batch we’ve seen from a less-than-top-of-the-line graphics card. They definitely have a unique flavor. Check ’em out! (Thanks, Pico, for the nomenclature…)

  • Sapien Screens at C.org

    Cortana.org has put up a pair of screenshots of Sapien, pulled from the upcoming Halo Editing Kit tutorial – does the fact that Gearbox has given permission for release of these two shots mean that the HEK isn’t far behind? We can only hope… Thanks to can of corn for the first heads-up.

  • One One Se7en shields – I want!

    Fun pair of minimovies from C-B; new Jackal shields, and an invincible blue Grunt. Check ’em out!

  • Fritter, Anyone?

    We hope everyone enjoyed yesterday’s Time Travel fun. Today, on One One Se7en, Stuntmutt is going to try his hand at cooking.

  • And By Old I Mean OLD

    Today’s Halo: Resolution brings back an old friend. Well… an old something.

  • Monday Morning Fanfic

    The queue was bigger, but I had to reject a bunch. Fan Fiction for you today: Beautiful Death, by ToFu The Raptros Saga: ch.3: truth, by Raptros-v75 As Far As I Could See, by Thomas Harper The Sidewinder Tales, by Jojojen Evolution: Chapter 2- Training Secession, by Firestorm The Iron Hands of the Prophets (Part…

  • Weekly Update Database Updated

    A tad late (we didn’t really need to wait this week because it was here, after all), but I’ve added Friday’s Bungie Update from Frankie to the database. In 8 months, when you want to find that quote about an intractable problem, we’ll be right here to help.
