If you use Microsoft’s Xbox Live service, you might want to swing by Xbox.com. Their newly revamped website now has a web side to Xbox Live… and if you link your Xbox Live gamertag to it, you automatically enter yourself in the ‘Join. Play. Win.’ sweepstakes – first prize is a pair of invitations to…

Today’s One One Se7en is dedicated to Skavenger… for supplying the grape koolaid we all drink. Or something.

Fourteen stories for you in the Fan Fiction section tonight: Chapter Two: Stranded Eagle, by Blue Jaguar Last of the Walking Dead – Part Three: Fire, by Walker A John Before Halo: The End Of VManJr. (Part 8), by J-117 Last of the Walking Dead – Part Three: Fire (Continued), by Walker Private Johnson part…

Rgamer, a site we mentioned recently, has changed its name (and URL) to UNSC.net. They currently have an introduction to a new series from Ctrl Alt Delete Productions – it’s called The Beginning of the End – Intro, and it’s about 9 mb, in WMP9 format. If you want it, UNSC.net is the only place…

Gamespot has gotten into the subscriber-only-Halo-PC-movies game, along with Gamespy… There are 5 new films, totalling about 65 mb of QuickTime footage of Halo PC campaign play. Locked, unless you’re a Gamespot Complete subscriber. Thanks to Strato for the heads-up.

Looks like Gamespy has put up an exclusive Halo PC Multiplayer vid – 141 mb, zipped, on FilePlanet. You can’t download it if you’re not a subscriber, though – I can’t tell you what’s in it. Thanks to ko0_ko0 for the heads-up on our forum.

PegNose, a regular on the Gamespot forums, created a slick animated gif (864K) showing the Master Chief in a pixel war with the Covenant. We’ve added it to our Miscellaneous Art section. It’s really quite good. Thanks to Konrad9 for pointing it out.

Master Chief looks like he made a little mess in Blood Gulch… new screenie over at Gearbox’s site. No modding needed – that’s stuff you can get right from the configure multiplayer dialogues. Whoa. Thanks to spesalfred for the heads-up.

A rockin’ good time… The HBO Weekly Review has been posted. Save yourself from having to read 4600 forum posts… read this one instead.

11 new dialogue snippets added to the Dialogue Databank, courtesy of Captain Spark. Some stuff I’ve never heard before… he’s doing a wonderful job of finding the obscure bits. Check out the collection!

Tec[H]noGeeK has mirrored Lion’s Master Chief Casting Call (both the WMP and MPEG versions) – if yo’ure having trouble getting it from TruthandReconciliation.com, give this a shot.

Today’s Guest One One Se7en comes from Mikey Cd – it seems he has a bone to pick with BOLL. Poor MC…

Many Halo Xbox players who’ve had a chance to try out Halo PC (including me) have commented that the pistol seems to be toned down; it’s not the dominating weapon it is for Xbox players. Dave Mertz chimed in to a thread on the topic over at the Gearbox Forums with a definitive statement: “The…

Hot on the heels of the Wallpaper update, we’ve cleared out the Miscellaneous Art queue as well. There’s a pretty wide range of stuff; comics, some very cool stylized logos, a beautiful pic of a machete-wielding MC, and a bunch of other stuff. Visit the Miscellaneous Art section for all the goodies!

TruthandReconciliation.com has posted a new movie – it’s called ‘Master Chief Casting Call’, and it’s about a couple of guys trying to cast a new Master Chief. They don’t have a lot of luck… It’s available from the site in two formats: WMP9 (18 mb) and MPEG (35 mb). It’s 7:30 long. Go take a…

Wow. It’s been 11 days since we’ve updated our art sections. We’ve received 11 desktop images in that time for the Wallpaper section. Sorry for the delay! Update: Make that 10. We’ve yanked one because it’s a tweaked version of an existing wallpaper – the author went to the trouble of asking the original creator…

Benny, from XboxOttawa.ca, lets us know that not only is the site back up and running (it has been for a few days now), but all the FTC vids are available there again (in both DivX and QT formats). They’re working on the next episode… but if you missed any of the first six, stop…

Mrguy writes to point out that there’s some Halo artwork at this website – and if you visit the site’s console gaming section, you’ll find some lan party pics. Check ’em out!

According to Marc, of Halo Universe, Halo has pulled down yet another award: this time, the VUD (German Entertainment Softwaer Association) has given Halo Best Xbox Game for the Games Awards for Interactive Achievement 2003. Not bad, given that it was released over a year ago in Germany!
