Just a heads-up… The Red vs Blue team had a hard drive failure last night, and the current work is (at the moment) unreachable. They’ve got hopes for it, and in any case it’s only the most recent work; all past episodes are doubly backed up on DVD. To tide over Sponsors, there’s a trailer…

We just got word of a new Halo movie, made by Stephen of MXB, showing off some hacking stuff. (Mostly projectile switching, but also some vehicle spawning, and the like.) It’s all based in Blood Gulch. It’s 6:26 long, in WMP7 format, and weighs in at a tad over 10 mb. It’s hosted by MXB.

4 new themes have been added to the 7th Column roster – you can make your Chapter over in one of three Halo-related themes (Shotguns is pretty cool), or (my favorite) a 7th Column theme known as Euphoria Station. SketchFactor also managed to slip in the information that there are two new members of the…

9 stories in the Fan Fiction section today: Swamps, Marshes & Keyes [H&R 2], by Jillybean Anathema – Chapter 3, by Bloodcider Halo: White Battleground (Trailer/UPDATED), by ShadowWolf Forsythe The Rise and Fall of the Flood chapter 6, by BlackValkyire The Lost Colony Part One: Severed Contact, by xitWOUND117 Operation Rubicon, Part 1, by Jim…

A couple more mirrors for the Fanstock screenies – Sector 7 has put them up, and so has Tec[H]noGeeK. They’re spreading… this is a good thing, for bandwidth reasons.

Gearbox has put up a new screenshot on their Halo Project Page for your viewing pleasure… some banshee dogfighting goodness. (It’s a bit like this shot, posted by Gamespot about a month ago… except bigger. And better framed.) Thanks to illuminati`FoOKz for the heads-up on our forum.

Hehe… Hamid Djangi points out a Suzuki concept car that sort of resembles… a Grunt? Bizarre.

Whoa. Has it really been that long? Stuntmutt’s One One Se7en celebrates a milestone, of sorts – episode 50 is posted today. Say hello to his little friends…

Check this out – Wraith has added another (the last?) vehicle to the list of pilotable craft. (The Longsword is still a holdout, but I’m doubting there’s a real model of it in the game… well, maybe in the final cutscene.) Original movie is his – I just made it small. Too bad its gun…

lol – I BET they didn’t get Bungie’s permission for this one. (If you can’t see it, it’s because they yanked it – drop us an email.) Thanks to WortroW for the heads-up.

Pyxl writes that the Master Chief action figure is beginning to show up in some locations. “Some stores in West Virginia had them as of yesterday and those of us with ‘Suncoast Video’ stores will probably see them at the end of this week or early next.” No word on other action figures, or the…

The Junkyard’s Spotlight series continues with a view of Matt ‘mrsmiley’ Dunn, the man behind the halobabies.net website and the (as yet unposted) Halo Fanfest Documentary. Check it out!

Wow… these costumes are great. Cosplay.com has put up a bunch of pictures from Comic Con International, held last month in San Diego… and one group came as Halo characters. Nekomusume has kindly linked to all four relevant pictures in this forum post.

13 stories for you today in Fan Fiction: Halos and Rings – 1, by Jillybean RedWireDew – A Halo Comedy, by Dispraiser Longsword Landing, by xitWOUND117 CORRUPT [3], by GLADIATRRR3000 At ONI…, by xitWOUND117 Spartan III’s, Part I, by FOrunnER An Officer Named Starblade: SPARTANs Awake, by Hunter_Killer Long time gone part 3, by grylsy…

Hehe – what happens when you swap the wartog model for a pelican one, instead? You give Foehammer a smoke break. (The 4.1 mb QT movie is mirrored by Break Point, as well, if c0ld’s bandwidth is running low…) It’s pretty funny how the marines don’t like it much…

One One Se7en’s guest strip for the day is by nof… and holy moley, I think that’s ME he’s making fun of! Nah… This might be a good time to mention that while guest strips for One One Se7en are welcomed (Stuntmutt’s tickled by the interest), you should send them HERE, not directly to Stuntmutt.…

Three new mirrors of the new screenshots we posted yesterday have popped up – Rampancy.net, BPHalo and TruthandReconciliation.com. Always nice to have the bandwidth hit spread around! Update: And another one… Cortana.org puts up their copies.

Hehe – almost didn’t notice… firestorm225’s Fanstock writeup has gotten a new, more prominent home; it’s now an official IGN PC article. (As of this writing, it’s not Insider-only.) Take a look!

The participants of the Halo PC Fanstock event held last week at Gearbox have posted their thoughts, and possibly pictures taken during the day… but we all promised you new screenshots, and now, thanks to Gearbox, we can deliver. Check our Fanstock Screens page – there are 12 gameplay shots, 14 hi-res GORGEOUS shots of…

Jamirus99 sent in a scan of a full-page Halo print ad that appeared in the September issue of Maximum PC. We’ve added it to our Halo Ads collection. You can also see it by itself; Jamirus99, unwilling to wait for a front-page mention, also posted it in our forum.
