Electronic Gaming Monthly and MTV are teaming up to bring you the Ultimate Video Game Countdown – and they’re soliciting votes from the public now. They’re looking for the best game of the new millenium (past 3 years) – and Halo is in the running. Read this page for details (and a link to the…

Today’s Guest One One Se7en is by Rush1312, and it looks at the hazards of hacking.

(GT)Juggler put up another video over at Halo GT – it’s called ‘Meet The Team’, and it introduces you to Halo GT, while showing some pretty fun multiplay stuff. It’s about 31 mb, in QuickTime format. You can find it in their Media section.

Inside Mac Games has interviewed Al Schilling, product manager at Macsoft, and not surprisingly, Halo gets touched upon.IMG: Do you have any system requirements for Halo yet?Schilling: Not yet but we’re going to have to print boxes very soon.The boxes… the boxes! All I can say is, they better not hold up delivery… Thanks to…

There’s an article on ‘Hot-Seat Gaming’ over at Xbox.com – and one of the suggested events is a Maw run. Check it out. Thanks to Rendar for the heads-up.

Hmm. There was a Halo Reclaimer paintball scenario game in Colorado last month – and the writeup before the event includes a long-winded summary of (the beginning of) Halo’s plot. Weirdness. Thanks to Donovan for the heads-up.

Hehe – Finn calls it a drop in the bucket… but it looks pretty big to me. Check out the Halo Story page for the latest speculation.

Sometimes, because of the long lead times on strips, One One Se7en is a bit off-topic; its relevance decreased from the moment in which it was written. Today’s doesn’t fit that mold at all. Timing couldn’t be MORE perfect, I don’t think.

The sensitive side of MC? Halo: Resolution isn’t afraid to bare the truth.

Quick status update on the HBO-GameDaemons server, for those confused by recent events… GD is moving us from the initial (pretty haphazard due to its early implementation) server setup we had with them to a more standard install. There were a few glitches in the process (some of which are still to be resolved). All…

Thanks to Blade, who’s mirrored yesterday’s release of ‘Lethal Rage 2’ at Team Ice.

Gah. Chris Macias uploaded a picture of his Halloween costume a couple of days ago… we didn’t get to it. Better late than never! He went as an Xbox (240K), and the costume was good enough that he received a copy of Halo from the Microsoft employee that lived at one of the houses he…

Yesterday’s big news in the Xbox world was that Microsoft has decided to go with IBM’s PowerPC chip for the next iteration of its console. (This isn’t Halo news, so we didn’t bother reporting it.) As Miguel mentioned on our forum, one of the big hurdles to be overcome is the thorny issue of how…

Cyber Slam is an Australian Halo tournament starting this Friday, November 7th. 16 national finalists will be flown to Sydney to compete in the finals on December 6 – and the winner will pocket $1000 in cash and be flown to the US to play in the International Halo Championship tourney in January 2004.

endrom has drawn today’s guest One One Se7en strip… I’m at a loss. It’s a RvB nod, I can say that much.

Okay, I’m ready to call it a day. Or a month. Or whatever. On October 6th, we kicked off The Great Halo Scavenger Hunt, and with the help of a whole bunch of Halo-related websites and Bungie, we set up what we thought was a fun, thought-provoking contest. Seems like we went too far, though…
