There’s a new EchoFourNineteen comic over at 343GS.com (downloads section) – I’d tell you about it, but I forgot. Thanks to Zergling_minor for the heads-up.

We received word from a few people last night that they’d gotten confirmation that their copies of Mac Halo were en route… and this morning, we received a press release confirming this from MacSoft. Woohoo!

Today’s One One Se7en wraps up the three-parter on the Old MC this week. No Grunts in this one… but you should still sign that petition.

You know, if you had a Grunt Plushy, you could ACT OUT today’s Halo: Resolution. Whoa.

Okay, in general, I think online petitions are silly. However, I’m willing to make an exception this time… because of the subject, and because of who’s putting it forth. SketchFactor jumped on our forum yesterday to suggest that the reason there’s never been a Grunt Plushy is because the marketing folks don’t believe there’s a…

Back in September, we pointed out a pretty cool film over at Video CD Productions; it was the final round of the Halo50K tournament, TDT vs DM, 3-cap CTF on Battle Creek. It showed the entire match from the Dream Team’s screen, complete with audio commentary by the players. The only problem was… it was…

SketchFactor spread a little love on the fans, in the form of three HUGE (1920×1440) screenshots, in tif format; you can find ’em in this forum post. The first two are 6 and 8 mb, respectively, and uncompressed; the last one is a bit banded, but only 1.4 mb. All three are worth grabbing, if…

Rams, head muckety-muck over at Battleground: Halo, has written what he calls a ‘bi-monthly staple of BGH’ – another edition of the ‘Rams Report’. In this one, he looks at Dave Mertz’s resignation, Mac Halo, Sapien’s release status, and One One Se7en, a strip he likens to ‘two rabbits left unattended over Christmas break.’ Read…

Jamirus99 points out (well, sort of) that Gamespy is hosting the second of three parts of a Halo tournament to win an Alienware Aurora PC. The top scorer in today’s matchup goes on to the finals on December 18. You need GameSpy Arcade to connect, and Halo PC (obviously). Stop by and see if there’s…

I can’t say I’m thrilled with the subtitle, but the event itself has me all aflutter. Blackstar has put up a news post (and a trailer) for Are You Big Enough II, a lanfest planned for Summer 2004 in Andover, MA. Are You Big Enough (the original) was held LAST summer, and featured an enormous…

Mac Halo is shipping today. (It should be in stores by Monday, at the latest.) randompro42’s Guest One One Se7en, then, is airing at an appropriate time. (We aren’t condoning platform bigotry – and neither is randompro, from what we can see. notice that large bite mark…)

12 pieces for you today in the Fan Fiction section: IONCLAD: First Prelude, by Capo Rip A Spartan’s Path – chapter 5, by Myth Earth vs Covenant part 1, by Packer7834 Battle for the Norah: Part Eleven, by Sterfrye36 Over The Line; Part 1, by AmokTheClown Over The Line; Part 2, by AmokTheClown The ONI…

There’s a review for Halo PC at IceTeks, as mentioned by Blue’s News. (Thanks, Ash.) Notable for the pretty low-res screenshots…

Whoa. I want one. It’s not plushy… but I want one. SketchFactor posted a note to Bungie.net about some preliminary work being done on Grunt action figures. They’ll be part of Wave 4, due out next spring. Theres an uncolored closeup… and some early color ideas. Gimme Gimme Gimme!

One of the ‘under the hood’ changes in the 1.03 Halo PC patch is that Anisotropic filtering is enabled by default. This is a function of higher-end video cards, and it makes the graphics crisper… at a pretty big price, performance-wise. If you’ve got a good graphics card, and saw a huge framerate drop when…

Almost 3 weeks ago, we posted a Flash animation created by GLADIATRRR3000, called 343 Guilty Stick. Well, he submitted 3 new chapters for this very soon afterwards… but we lost ’em in the archives. 🙁 They’ve been resurrected, finally, and added to the original page; they’re quite a bit smaller than the first one was.…

XLNC posted three spectacular screenshots today – 1600×1200, no HUD, no weapons. (He explained how he did it in this post, if you want to make your own.) Wow.

I think Stuntmutt must have fallen and hit his head on the Plinth. When I went into the studio this morning, I found this, on the floor, with smudges of peanut butter on the reel. Someone send a doctor…

Who says your options get limited when you get older? Well, One One Se7en does…

What limits fights in Halo? Halo: Resolution checks out the issue.
