    343GS.com has put up episode 14 of its EchoFourNineteen comic; check the downloads section. Thanks to MasterToad for pointing it out.

  • See? He’s working. Really.

    A tiny tidbit from bentllama – the bizarre T stance occasionally seen in Halo animations when they SHOULD have a weapon, but don’t, has been fixed; it won’t show up in Halo 2. Always nice when glitches are taken care of!

  • Get a pair, you bunch of Barbies…

    Red vs Blue episode 24 is up for Sponsors now – 3:55 of Warthog goodness. Oops, sorry… Puma goodness. The cliffhanger for next week has me on the edge of my seat!

  • Random Halo Homage

    Da Loaph discovered an interesting little page; it’s a part of the Oddlots Irregulars website, and it pays tribute to Halo. There are a couple of comics on the page, as well as a couple of custom gametypes (downloadable, even). Take a look! Update: It’s now 2005, and Oddlots has changed its site layout dramatically;…

  • Blood Chiefs – for artists of all stripes

    CENOBITE has opened a new Seventh Column chapter, the Blood Chiefs, devoted to the creative side of Halo. It’s a place where ‘an elite group of artists, musicians and writers can share their love of the world that is HALO. ‘ It currently contains a link to an older piece that bears quite a bit…

  • Yes, it’s true. He rocks.

    Craig Mullins, master digital artist (with longtime ties to the Bungie community), has posted a new sketch of the MC on his site; it’s not in the Gallery yet. (There are a few images in the gallery that might remind you of Halo items – there’s a buggy that bears a resemblance to an early…

  • Under The Influence 3 – Twisted Joyride Theatre

    One One Se7en finishes up the tribute series with a nod to Toyfare Magazine. Wait… isn’t this Miniature Halo territory? Oh, man… here come the lawsuits.

  • How Do You See Over The Top?

    There MIGHT be a problem or two with the Scorpion design… as Halo: Resolution points out.

  • Halo Generals Mod Update

    Dispraiser writes about the Halo Generals Mod – a conversion for C&C Generals: Zero Hour. They’ve got a new home, a new site layout, and some new renders of vehicles for you to see. They’ll be adding content regularly, so if you’re a C&C Generals player, check back often! They’re still looking for help from…

  • New Articles at BGH

    Battleground: Halo has posted a pair of articles this morning; TCLN-Zenn has written a piece on the Halo Team Killing situation (he’s very unhappy with it, and with the fix implemented by Gearbox), and Banshee Ace has interviewed a member of the DC clan. Take a look.

  • Miniature Halo – still coming, be patient

    SESpider has been overwhelmed with emails asking when the next panel of his Miniature Halo series is coming out. He’s started a thread in our forum; if you have questions, post them here, and he’ll try to answer. There’s an example of one of the panels that got tossed because of their new design, so…

  • Sleep? Sleep is for the weak.

    Sword theory, religious discussion, and Guilty Spark’s motivations… a healthy update, indeed, to the vast collection of speculation and debate that is the Halo Story Page. Check it out!

  • Halo Babies is back – with a vengeance

    At midnight, PST, this morning, Halo Babies relaunched their website. A new design by Ghôlsbane (who co-maintains our own myth.bungie.org), new artwork, and more – read the entire news post by mrsmiley for details. No new comic (yet) – but the day’s not over yet. 🙂 Take a look!

  • PtO posts movies

    Will, aka [-PtO-]_EteRnaL from PtO (a halo clan that plays on XBC), sent along a link to his collection of movies; you can find everything from gameplay to glitches. Check ’em out… and hit the contact link at the bottom of the main page if you’ve got any questions about joining the clan, or comments…

  • Halo-Themed Music

    SexyJosh, from Team Sexy Films, has been writing some Halo-themed music recently; there are currently two songs available on his website. Lament to Keyes is a 4-minute ballad, and Cortana is half as long, twice as fast, and a bit ruder. If you like the music, explore the site; there’s quite a bit more, non-Halo-related,…

  • Change that text… NOW

    w00t – Xhzjang, the guy who brought you the Halo No Hud mod a few days ago, now brings you the Halo Font Editor. Change the ingame halo text – mess with its color, font style, even its location. Fantastic for folks who are tired of having action obscured by chat… or folks trying to…

  • Wave 3 – on sale now

    Devin Olsen points out that Series 3 of the Halo Action Figures (Banshee, Blue Master Chief, Marines, and Johnson) have moved from ‘Pre-order’ to ‘Order’ status at DieCast Express. Buy ’em while they’re hot!

  • Cortana.org is back

    Looks like Cortana.org has come back online. It’s positioned to be a file repository for Halo mods… once the Halo Editing Kit gets released. For now, it’s just a design – go check it out! Update: Hehe – looks like I got corrected. 🙂 There’s a new news post up at the site explaining what…

  • Xbox Connect 4.0 – now for the public

    Bah. Two days ago, SplitBoxer, from the XboxConnect team, wrote to point out that V4.0 RC1 was released, and available for download. I managed to forget to post it, though, until I noticed a note over at Rampancy.net. I’m pretty sure I should stop cooking tomato sauce in aluminum pans… Anyway, go grab it. (The…

  • Motorized Lego Hog

    Dr@Home wrote to point out a small vid (2.7 mb) he’s put up of his motorized Lego Warthog. WMP9 format – nice looking vehicle!
