  • Sector 7’s Halo Quiz, v2

    Wolfy dropped off a note in our forum – Sector 7 is running a new version of its Halo Quiz; 45 questions about Halo. If you get stuck, there are a couple of answers (and hints to others) in the thread on our forum.

  • That jackal had no chance.

    Devin Olsen has created another stop-motion movie using the Halo action figures; this one is called ‘Red Sucks, Blue Rules’. It’s hosted by nukedude. It’s not very big – 1.6 mb, 37 seconds, in WMP9 format. Take a look!

  • Xbox Addict – looking for questions (soon)

    nof points out that XboxAddict has been given the go-ahead to interview Bungie, and has decided to collect questions from the Xbox Addict forum members. They’re not accepting questions yet – but the final interview (25 questions) will be submitted by February 1, so they’ll have to start pretty soon. Keep an eye on the…

  • Wearable Suit gets a breastplate

    Chris Bryan has sent us a few more shots of his wearable MC suit – he’s hard at work on the main part of the body. Check out the details (scroll to the bottom of the page; images are added as they come in).

  • Halo GT adding Online Members

    Halo GT has opened up an Online Members section of its clan. At the moment, membership is open only to Aquaduct users, since he has to play you first before you can be included – but once Aquaduct 2 comes out, it’s open to anyone. If you’re interested, swing by the site and join up!

  • We love you, Ar.

    Last year, we said goodbye to a good friend, Brian Morden. Recently, there was a guestbook set up so that people could discuss their memories of Brian. (He would have turned 20 on January 10, 2004.) If you’d like to contribute, simply follow the link! (Tirion, who pointed it out to us, also mentioned that…

  • Ask a Banshee

    Battleground: Halo has posted a new article today; Banshee Ace discusses the ins and outs of Banshee flying. If you’re having trouble living through Banshee encounters, you might want to read this.

  • Fuzzy Logic

    Today’s One One Se7en is a crossover strip, using Halo: Resolution characters. Er, character. Er… something. (The strip is Stuntmutt’s – just didn’t want to confuse anyone. The credit for the strip is referring to the artwork on the HR MC.)

  • Noobs Aren’t The Only Ones Who Get Impatient

    Halo: Resolution looks at what is definitely a problem in HPC online play these days…

  • CTF Pro League at TeamWarfare

    progamerz points out that TeamWarfare is kicking off its CTF Pro League ladder soon – if you’re interested, swing by and sign up!

  • Put a flamethrower on the Tuareg.

    Jamirus99 noticed a Gamespy article a couple of days ago ripping on Volkswagon for imitating Halo’s Warthog with their latest concept car. The thread even includes a couple of recolored versions of the shot involving the mounted LAAG gun; it should be green, right? (We received many more emails about this article this morning… but…

  • Damn, that was awful!

    Andrew, from XboxOttawa.ca (the FTC boys), writes to point out a new Halo Flash game they’ve put up to distract you from the fact that FTC10 isn’t out yet. Go play.

  • Project Halo: The Update

    SanchezTheLlama dropped by to post an update of their upcoming Project Halo (we mentioned it back in late November). Lots of progress; interfaces for Mac, Linux, AND Windows are coming along, and they’ve got a new gunship (pictures in the post). Check it out!

  • Hide and Peek

    Marine12 points out that 343GS.com has put up another EchoFourNineteen comic. Check the downloads section to see it.

  • RvB Season 2 Premiere: Official Version

    If anyone missed it, Red vs Blue has released the lo-res version of their Season 2 premiere; hi-res versions will presumably be available to sponsors; sponsorships will be accepted mid-week. BitTorrent links are coming soon. (There’s also a boatload of pics and a long text writeup of the event, for those of us who couldn’t…

  • Llama Campers.

    Today’s Guest One One Se7en is from rapture, and what makes this even more hilarious is that we were discussing this exact concept just last night. (Okay, that’s not hilarious to anyone but the 5 or 6 people there. Too bad for the rest of you.)

  • Harmless When Armless

    Halo Babies has put up a new strip today – we call ’em Floodcicles, Gruntsbane has another view. (Minor spoilers for anyone who hasn’t played more than half the game…) Check it out! (There’s also new artwork available to site members.)

    Hey, what’s Keyes’ doing with that blue guy? Check Halo: Resolution for details.

  • Apologies to the Websites

    To all the people who’ve sent in links for us to post recently – I’m sorry. I’ve been really, really behind and they’re not up. Not only that, but I can’t PUT ’em up right now; I’m leaving for the airport (again) in about half an hour. Back this weekend… so updates will be sparse…
