The (temporary) End of an Era. Vector40 announced that The Repertory is down, until the silliness invoked by his web host can be fixed. It’ll be back… but in these times of high-bandwidth-need… we’ll miss her.

Okay, enough with the hate mail – here’s the dang movie. (There are at least 2 more mirrors coming soon, and quite possibly a couple of other formats/sizes for the film – so if you have trouble with a 27 mb .mov, be patient.) This is Brian Josselyn’s nod to Final Fantasy… and to Halo…

Two new Fan Fiction bits – Jehkoh has written another poem, and Vector40 has written… well, an ode. (An uplifting one, even.) Read ’em both in our Fan Fiction section.

Brian Josselyn, of Blackstar Productions, has created a new Halo vid – it’s a trailer for Halo, the Movie. (Okay, it’s a trailer for Aliens, mostly – but let’s not nitpick.) Masterful use of existing Halo footage (including some fantastic inclusions from older stuff), topnotch moviemaking skills, and high-quality sound make this a film to…

Whoa – six, count ’em, six new desktop images submitted in the last day or two – go take your pick in our Wallpaper section.

Four more stories for you: Aftermath, Part 3 by Alex Cross Operation: False Prophets, Part 7 by Ian Barnes The Eyes of the Enemy, by Gasmask After Halo, Part 2 by Black_Jackal These, and many, many more are in our Fan Fiction section…

Heh – Peter Marks, Bungie Troublemaker Extraordinaire, points out an article at MacGamer which might make some long-time visitors chuckle. Apparently, though… not Matt Soell. Ah, well… can’t please everyone.

Due to an amazingly boneheaded mistake I made over a month ago, every Gameplay Trick uploaded since late February has taken twice as long to load on your computer than it should have. (Maybe more than twice.) The problem has been fixed, finally… and we’ve added three new ones – okay, three parts of a…

Bobble-headed Halo toys… what’s next? (I want one.)

We thought it was too much to ask… but those miracle workers at Bungie never sleep. The Bungie Store is open! Go buy your Grunt Plush Doll today!

Halo Babies! Bungie takes the wraps off their newest project, an animated television project scheduled to debut this fall. Check the Tru7h and Reconciliation website for all the details! (Video clips are coming – we can’t wait! (Thanks to Djof, on our forum, and Jester, via email, for the heads-up.)

A few descriptions of the carnage that took place at the Hilton Towers in San Francisco (yesterday’s Battle of the Bay) have been posted on our forum. Thanks to Psyrixx, Appleicious, and Tarrsk for their input… hopefully there’ll be more!

Wh00t! (As of the time of this post, the Mac version is incomplete – you won’t be able to unstuff it, because the Binhex file didn’t completely upload, it seems. This will likely be fixed soon. The Windows version is fine, though… the Error message is a riot.)

Daniel writes to say that Team 7hr33’s website has had a major overhaul – new layout (I like), TONS of new content (much of which I will eventually steal for inclusion here), and one disappointment – a movie, posted yesterday (and filmed on March 11) shows Team 7hr33’s exploration of the ‘Black Door’ on Two…

We wish you peace on this day, in a world gone mad… and we offer you a new batch of Fan Fiction: Aftermath Part 2, by Alex Cross The Hell of War Part 3, by Jaywhit10 The Renegade Marines Part IX, by Shadow Siege of the Rings Chapter 2, by The Wraven Finishing what you…

There’s a pretty big backup in the Gameplay Tricks queue, but time is short this weekend. I’m putting up a recent exploration by Frogblast – it stands alone, unlike some of the other entries. Check it out for some freaky behavior in Two Betrayals!

Yesterday, we mentioned some changes to the Japanese Halo site – protexts has been kind enough to translate the news item associated with the dogtags (he calls it a paraphrase/translation):They are having a Halo tournament 3/31 in two shops in Nagoya: Nagoya Toys Paradise and Miraiyabuusu. The players will purchase first time limited dog tags…

Two new desktops for you – one, from Joel Day, was created some time ago, but only submitted recently. The other, from Loren Judah, is new. You can find both in our Wallpaper section.

Nice. (It’s an accompaniment to this article at the Seventh Column, Bungie’s community site, about an upcoming (TOMORROW!) lanfest with an expected 50 participants. Wowzers!)

Four new Fan Fiction entries: Finishing What You Started, Part One, by LeAtHeRnEcK Resistivity Chapter 3, by Roger Lin Aftermath Part 1, by Alex Cross Effusion Chapter 2, by Tursas You’ll find ’em all in our Fan Fiction section.
