IXIGhandiIXI points out that over at 343gs.com, there’s a new wallpaper in the Downloads section (I find it to be a pretty impressive picture, though I doubt I could ever actually use it as a desktop), and a new Art section has opened up (though only one of the two images shown is actually viewable).…

Wow, I’m not doing very well; I managed to forget yesterday’s Guest One One Se7en strip. Rather than simply skip it, I’m posting it anyway – along with today’s main strip, from Stuntmutt. Yesterday’s, ‘Fr@med’, was Guest number 77, and was created by Someone2die… while today’s, entitled ‘Insult to Injury’, might explain why the MC…

For those looking for a decent price on Halo PC, Best Buy currently has it on sale for $39.99; about $10 off its regular price. (Thanks, Opie.)

Battleground: Halo has posted an interview with PTM, of Halo Online. And stuff.

Lots and lots of links:UGS is expanding – vote for HaloGenerals Halo Mod – C&C modRF Halo Mod – Red Faction modanalytical delusionist – Halo 2 infoPtO – Xbox Halo clan (LOUD)Halo 2-Hub – Halo 2 infoWhew – I’m sure I forgot a few, but that’s the bulk of recent ones.

new1nab113 stopped by our forum to mention a comic he’s created called Parasite. I keep remembering some advice my mother gave me…

A couple of movies folks asked us to tell you about: First, a movie that MereCatfish wanted us to announce a couple of weeks ago; we managed to miss the email. It’s called ‘Fun, Yet Useless’, and it’s a Halo PC glitch/stunt film – title pretty much covers it. It’s hosted by nukedude in WMP9…

Today’s Calvin and Halo strip was mentioned on our forum, sort of, last week. Having young children myself, I hardly find this funny. In fact, I may have to sue Warbow for the return of this twitch in my eye…

Ten Fan Fiction pieces today: Tel Amir, by Steve Forced Betrayal (Chapter 4: Vulnerable but Vital), by CoLd BlooDed On A Pale Horse: Frozen Typhoon, by Silent Hunter Air Force Wing: Part 2, The Assault, by teemus The Flood: A Force to be reckoned with (Part 6), by crashedwarthog In Chaos and Despair: Bellerophon 3,…

Oops – forgot to post yesterday’s Halo: Resolution. Too much to do! Wait… maybe I’m just lagging…

Wow. Rapture posted a screen from a Halo PC game last Friday… this was about 5 hours in. That’s a LOT of kills.

There’s an interesting article on software piracy (and how it relates to Mac gaming) over on Yahoo news today. Peter Tamte participated in a round-table discussion on piracy, and reiterated that in the month since Mac Halo’s release, more people have stolen it than bought it. “From what we’ve been able to extrapolate, the lost…

Yesterday, we mentioned that Circuit City is selling Halo for $19.99. kapowaz pointed out that Tesco, in Great Britain, has made it available for £19.99, as well; still more than the US price, but a significant markdown from its normal rate in GB. Never been a better time to buy Halo – on EITHER side…

We’ve added last Friday’s Bungie Update (originally at Subnova) to our Frankie’s Bungie Updates database. There’s a small note over at Subnova explaining the problems this weekend; it was a hardware problem, not a network or software one. Here’s hoping it doesn’t happen again!

Rampancy.net has put up the second part of its ‘High Ping Bastard’s Guide to Halo’ – this one focuses on Weapons. Again, there is information in here of value even to those on fast connections; lag in Halo PC is an unfortunate fact of life, and while it’s worse for dialup (or faraway) visitors, it’s…

So the buildup to One One Se7en number 117 has been pretty big; last week’s (Stuntmutt-drawn) strips have all been teasers for it. Several people on our forum speculated that it would be tied, somehow, to the Plinth of Art announcement we made yesterday… but it was noted that main strips don’t come out on…

SESpider has sent along Page 13 of his Miniature Halo comic. Way cool the way weather in the comic tracks weather in the US in the present day…

Wow. XLNC continues to make hudless screens – and this time, they’re from a pretty amazing vantagepoint. Check ’em out on our forum!

In December, Halo’s price dropped to $29.99 – and a lot got sold. Konrad9 mentions that Circuit City is now selling them for $20 – might be a good time to buy! (It’s unknown how long this price will last.)

Yesterday, we posted the movie Cheers, a stock Halo music vid with decent timing. Almost a thousand of you have grabbed a copy, and we haven’t gotten any death threats or hatemail about it… so we’re going to continue with the plan; today, we’ve got a pair of these for you. They’re both put together…
