  • Windows XP UNSC Edition

    A couple of months ago, triBYTE_Digital_Img uploaded a Halo-related BootSkin (a Windows XP Startup screen) to WinCustomize – Deimos Fawkes just pointed it out. Boot your machine to the Master Chief!

  • Biting The Hand That Feeds.

    One One Se7en continues the time travel schtick (Hi, Shishka!) and even takes a shot at me today. And that Stuntmutt… he never recycles anything. It’s all original, all the time. Yep.

  • Now With Cov-Fu Action!

    Me? Forget to post Comics? That’s Unpossible! Today’s Halo: Resolution moves into uncharted territory… of a sort.

  • And the Flash goes on

    Geez. 3 weeks go, Michael Frank wrote to us with a Flash animation he and some others had whipped up; it’s a 4 mb story of Bravery and Survival (yeah, their words) in our favorite canyon. I managed to bury it, until now. You can watch it here. (Give it some time to load -…

  • Halo Tourney on Long Island

    Xtournaments will be hosting a 2v2 Halo tournament with a FFA segment on March 27th, in Smithtown, Long Island, New York. Entry fee is $40/team, with $1000 in prize money on the line. Check out the details!

  • The wait, the wait

    This came in a couple of weeks ago – but like many other things, got buried. Apparently, the Ottawa Citizen ran a story (164K) on Halo 2, and how people are frustrated about the wait for it, back in mid-January. (The submission came from Thumper on February 17, and the wording suggested that it came…

  • Red, White, and Blue Halo

    This came in Monday night, but got buried – sorry about that. xitWOUND117 points out some shots that his group, Crazed Gnome Productions, have put together – mostly skinned vehicles. There’s a Red banshee, a decaled tank, a CGP orange LAAG warthog, a CGP black Rocket warthog, and a lightning’d ghost. Check it out! Update:…

  • Ghetto Halo

    dolbex has a fun writeup of a 16-team, 8-man-per-team tourney he went to last weekend, over at Been Mawed. Good time, bad money. Great pics. Go read!

  • And in this corner…

    Just a reminder – the Gamespy.com Title Fight between Halo and Goldeneye 007 begins today, at noon (PST). Don’t forget to swing by and cast your vote!

  • Miscellaneous Art – finally.

    Wow. It’s FAR from empty, but the Miscellaneous Art queue just dropped by 15 items… because I just posted that many. There’s some good stuff, some bad stuff, and some weird stuff. Look it ALL over. For folks who have submitted comics in the past month or so – PLEASE be patient; we’ve gotten so…

  • Active Camo.

    Today’s Guest One One Se7en comes from MasterTJ of Dark Halo… and brings a whole new take on the One One Se7en graphics. One might even say ‘different’. I’m reminded of Jules Pfeiffer.

  • The Words, The Words!

    Only 19 new entries in the Fan Fiction section today… you guys are slipping. Mad Rush, by Nick Kang Fall of the covenant, by Jetboogieman The Iron Hands of the Prophets (Part 1), by MadJackal Halo:The Fate of Earth, Prologue, by MetalGhost Before the Fall: Part One: Requiem, by Jagged Theta Omicron part 1: The…

  • Oh Great Ouija Board…

    Today’s Calvin and Halo touches on a long-standing gripe I’ve got – nobody lets MY karma move the pointer. Bah.

  • They interviewed WHO?

    I suppose I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that there’s an interview of me up at Battleground: Halo. This sort of thing really should be posted by some other HBO staffer… but that would require that another staffer actually post. Hmm.

  • Does the elevator work?

    Stefander has posted some early screenshots (and a small movie) of a new map he’s working – a conversion of 343 GS to multiplayer. Swing by Halomods.com and check it out!

  • Bandwidth is a renewable resource.

    Because, I guess, she wasn’t content with wowing the crowds with her awesome Halo art yesterday, Tina Leyk has sent along a NEW piece this morning; you’ll find it on the bottom of the fan art section of her Art page here. It’s called Gold Elite Bridgebattle… and it’s BEAUTIFUL. One day in the not-too-distant…

  • I don’t remember that gun from Sonic…

    EmptyShadows found a new piece of Halo-related fan art – The Master Chief vs Shadow. hehe… nice.

  • Project Halo: coming along!

    Whoa. SanchezTheLlama has posted the weekly Project Halo update… and it’s a doozy. Very cool shots of the new map! Check it out.

  • Feeling Stopped Up?

    You may or may not have noticed that HBO is struggling a bit right now. Don’t worry – it’s not that the servers are dying again – well, they are, but it’s not because of a failure, it’s overload. BOLL’s Warthog Jump flash animation got picked up by Ars Technica this morning – and by…

  • It’ll All Make Sense By Friday

    One One Se7en starts another series – though I doubt the timing is accurate. Hold on tight, boys and girls… this one’s gonna get ugly.
