CobaltNova has posted the results of the 2003 Rockets on Prisoner Awards for best Halo movies… winners get cash, courtesy of That Weasel, and a Bungie Prize Pack, courtesy of Bungie. As an amusing side note, I voted with the majority in exactly… zero of the categories. 🙂 Looks like I’m outta sync with the…

Twelve new dialogue snippets added to our Dialogue Databank for you today, courtesy of Captain Spark. Comin’ up on 600 entries…

stan writes to point out a new clan site, The Rabid Lilliputians. (It was up yesterday, but loading times were horribly slow, so I passed on mentioning it. He’s fixed some html, and things work better now.) They’re having an art contest… take a look!

Killtacular.com, a website devoted to the upcoming Killtacular Classic iGames Championship, is back open for business. The event is on for September 27, with $5000 in prizes on the line. Registration info coming soon… check this out!

Red vs Blue has posted Episode 16 for sponsors; Buzby and gfunk will be at QuakeCon this weekend, so the general release will likely not be early. (That means, if you want to see this before Sunday afternoon at the earliest… go give ’em some cash.) Donut’s back… and I’m pretty happy about that.

24 hours since the last Fan Fiction update… and there are another 11 stories. You guys write too much. Its Just One of Those Days (Prologue: 04), by Elfster Here Goes Nothing…, by PreacherCain The Alliance: Part One, by pooman Answers (Halo2: Chapter 10), by Shadowrunner Anathema – Chapter 2: Elysium City Stakeout, by Bloodcider…

Hehe – he did it. He actually did it. (Check out One One Se7en.) Eeeuwww.

Lanwerx, a gaming center in Washington state, is hosting a Halo event in their Bellevue store on August 23rd. (It’s being put together by the boys from Penny Arcade, so we’ve received mail from a dozen people giving us the heads-up about it…) Hijack mentioned it on our forum, and SketchFactor clarified what the ‘bit…

Last month, we mentioned that Bungie had set up a database whereby you could submit questions to the Cananimators, the two Canadian animators on the Halo 2 dev team. Well, the first installment of their answers has been put up, according to SketchFactor… it’s a very funny read. There’s even some useful animation information in…

And 12 new desktops for you, too, in our Wallpaper section. The artists never stop! (Whoever created the Halo Band image in our uploads folder – we need identification before we can post it.)

A week’s worth of Miscellaneous Art, ranging from comics to parodies to a printable gameboard. Sorry for the delay on some of these…

A couple of weeks ago, Stuntmutt forwarded the beginning of a collection of Guest One One Se7en strips, submitted to him unsolicited by fans of the comic. There hasn’t been a lot of time between that day and this… but finally, the first Guest Strip has been posted, courtesy of Loose Cannon. With any luck,…

For the first time in months, the Bungie Research Center Archives has been updated with a new image. Hmm…

C’mon, tell me you’ve never thought about it… One One Se7en goes where most of us don’t really WANT to go.

The last Fan Fiction update was on Sunday – and now there are 24 new stories for you to read. Halo- The Fallen Place pt1, by Darth Lord All Roads Lead To Sol…Despite What The Map Says: Chapter 10, by S7N A Marine Named Peters: Sledding is Fun, Unless the Covenant Are Behind You, by…

A little late… but nonetheless appreciated! The Weekly Review has been posted on our forum. Fewer nuggets than usual, due to the overwhelming flood of Hacking posts this week… but there was still some good stuff! Check it out.

25 dialogue snippets have been submitted in the past week – apologies for taking so long to process them. New Grunts, Sarges, and Marines… check ’em out in our Dialogue Databank!

Well, dang. Vehicles on almost all Multiplayer levels. (Blood Gulch and Sidewinder left out because they already have vehicles, and Longest left out because “trying to get the vehicles to MOVE was impossible, especially the tank.” (I think I still would have liked to see ghosts in there…)

Hehe… folks have always wondered what’s under the MC’s helmet; the final cutscene shows him removing it just before the camera moves out of range of the window, tantalizing you but not actually showing you anything. c0ld vengeance and BOLL teamed up to build you some X-Ray Glasses… and it’s pretty surprising what you find.
