Dang – posted a few days ago, I forgot to get back to it. SanchezTheLlama put out a request on our forum for developers who want to help out in an open source project – a strategy game based on Halo. There’s an out-of-date website up at SourceForge.net, and more information within the linked forum…

Thanks to Jamirus99 and Geeoff, who both pointed out that Best Buys across America today will be selling Xbox Halo for $17.99 between 6 am and noon. This after-Thanksgiving sale is the perfect time for those of you in the US to buy that spare copy!

In today’s One One Se7en, Stuntmutt points out some of the advantages that the Mac MC has over the PC MC. (Note that Macsoft will honor no promises made by a comic strip on a fansite.)

The PoA is a tad bigger than it might look – certainly bigger than Halo: Resolution noobs can grasp.

Yesterday, DaChameleon sent a note to our forum announcing a HBO/HPC nickname list. You can use this to learn the HPC handles (and in some cases, the real names) of your favorite HBO forum regulars. (This was originally put together by Ben Roth, and posted on our forum. This version now has a permanent home.)

The guests have gone, the cleanup is mostly finished, and I came down to look at the Fan Fiction queue, knowing that the last time I did so was 3 days ago. Gah… 35 new pieces! (And that’s after rejecting the ones that shouldn’t have been submitted…) A Spartan’s Path- Chapter 2, by Myth A…

We’re gonna take most of the Thanksgiving holiday off; lots of family, Halo can wait. Before we go, though – here’s a Thanksgiving strip from Stuntmutt, to fill in today’s One One Se7en quota. Enjoy!

It was discussed so many times on our forum, I didn’t really notice that it didn’t make our front page… but I want the flood of email to stop, so hear ye, hear ye, be it known that the Red vs Blue Season 1 DVD is now on sale over at redvsblue.com. Now can I…

The mini action figures ordered from The Bungie Store a while back arrived today. Maybe, one of these days, I’ll actually have time to set up something fun with them. You never know…

Not really Halo news, but it’s certainly in the holiday spirit, so… Penny Arcade is working with the Seattle Children’s Hospital and Amazon.com to bring games to sick kids. They call it Child’s Play, and the details can be found at the bottom of their front page. (It’ll be there for the next month or…

Stuntmutt, tired of the constant sniping he puts up with in the forum, has taken his OWN shot – at the Mac version of Halo. Dang, if it didn’t make me smile, I’d have to smack him. Go read One One Se7en today.

Halo: Resolution looks at how hard it can be to ditch an AI…

ASPMaster showed off a cool little Flash Animation in which the MC is built, top-down. We’ve added it to our Miscellaneous section (1.4 mb).

Grenadiac stopped by our forum to point out a new movie for download at Halomods.com; the MC has been replaced by a Grunt. Great music choice. 8 mb (.rar-compressed), WMP7 format. Dance, boy!

Nice find by Ross Mills; there’s a Special Edition Halo Soundtrack now for sale, from Sumthing Else Music Works. It comes with a bonus DVD that contains trailers and videos of Halo 2, plus Surround Sound versions of new music. (This is the soundtrack Marty mentioned about a month ago, during a Music 4 Games…

We mentioned the new MacSoft Halo page a couple of days ago, and others have pointed out the Games page over at Apple… but travis brought to our attention that Halo is not confined to gaming pages any more. On a page devoted to extolling the virtues of the G5’s video capabilities, the screenshot at…

Missed it when it arrived, but SeeMePlayMe is hosting a kickoff party for its new Platinum Plus Gamer account. They’ll be giving away 5 lifetime gold accounts, 2 lifetime Platinum accounts, and one 1-year Platinum Plus Gamer account. This newest account not only allows you to set up a custom server on the fly… but…

Couple of Blue’s News-reported reviews for you: AllOutGames gave it 89% (though the front-page mention was quite a bit harsher, and even the reviewer made it clear that the 89% was because 90% is their cutoff for a ‘stamp of approval’), and Ferrago gave it 84%, complaining about the clunky console-born interface and the ‘stuttering…

Last week, a bunch of HBO regulars (and some new friends) got together at nof’s place to celebrate the second anniversary of the Xbox (and Halo) with 14 hours of lan play. nukedude filmed the whole shebang. This isn’t your standard lan footage; the actual gameplay takes a back seat to the event itself. (It…

GreenMJOLNIR’s Guest One One Se7en strip was written a couple of months ago… but the joke’s still there.
