How many different ways can you screw up in a Warthog? Parias and Mr. Zig put that question to the test, with Driving Drunk, a new Halo vid. Currently, there are three sites you can grab this at:Shaw.ca (Parias’ site)The Repertory (shooting for 50 gigs over the limit!)Mythica.org (thanks, as always, to Brian)The slight music…

PS2 and Xbox Hardcore have posted their Halo review – and while it glows, there are a few odd things about it. They list a 60hz mode for PAL for it, though for the past week or so, that’s been just about the biggest gripe on our forum (the LACK of a useful 60hz PAL…

Drunkgamers.com has put up part 4 of their multiplayer tips series – this one contains a 2.4 mb, 15 second film showing how knowing the patterns can help teammates work nicely together. (It’ll put a smile on your face… unless you’ve been in Blade’s position.) Take a look!

The Official Japanese Halo site has put up a bunch of wallpapers – they look a lot like the images poena.dare #CP#g sent in a while back… except with Xbox and Halo logos plastered on ’em. (There is also a nice new section on characters, and an interesting picture in the news that shows dogtags…

A few weeks ago, I instituted a new ‘official’ policy about Fan Fiction submissions – they need to be of a minimum length for inclusion in the collection – but I neglected to make this clear on the Fan Fiction page itself. This has been rectified. Apologies to all Fan Fiction writers who missed the…

What the…? The Bungie webcam has gone dark! (Here’s a recent pic, in case it changes before you read this.) I hadn’t noticed this before, but it’s an hour off Redmond time – I wonder if it’s a daylight savings thing? In any case, hopefully it just got knocked over during a wild night of…

ShdwPnthr points out a pair of movies he’s made – one shows the carnage you can wreak with the chaingun on the Warthog (I’d have done a bit more driving damage before getting in the back; you suffer less personal damage that way, but the wreckage is undeniably vast in any case), and the second…

Barnolde caught a Covenant Dropship pilot drinking on the job… check it out in our Gameplay Tricks section.

Gh?lsbane found a couple of shots of a Star Wars ‘Shadow Droid’ that looks somewhat like a Banshee – check out these views:concept view (42k)schematic (92k) Even the names of the weapons are familiar…

Ryan sends in the Part II: Arrival of Well Enough Alone, a pre-Halo saga involving the characters you know and love from the game. Check it out in our Fan Fiction section.

Two new (and very cool) bits of artwork came in recently – bikeman704 sent in a screenshot of a Halo Pelican, built in Worldcraft… and StormSinger sent along a slick rendering of the sniper rifle ammo. Check ’em both out in our Miscellaneous Art section! (More news coming soon – been afk for the last…

Movie Mania: two new warthog jumpin’ movies for you. First up is another offering from Dan Chosich, creator of the Halo Montage vid. This one is also in .wmv format, and weighs in at 11.6 mb. It’s called ‘Blood Gulch Scenes’… and it’s 4 and a half minutes of, well, carnage from Blood Gulch. :)…

Three new Fan Fiction entries – Halo 2: The Forerunner Chronicle Part VI, from Velker, Halo: Protect the Homestead Chapters 2/3, from Steven Crowley, and The Renegade Marines Part VIII – The Return to Memories, by Shadow. Woohoo!

Thanks to craZy, who (in answer to my plea for pictures), sent in a few screenshots of the Halo maps for Starcraft that have been coming in recently. Now you can see images and grab the maps in one convenient location!

Heh – gotta love this:Those who still think we’re lying about PC/Mac Halo should get out your condiments/seasonings of choice, buy some nice china and silverware, and do whatever else you do when you’re getting ready to eat your words.Don’t believe Matt, though – he just works for Bungie. Everybody knows that Bungie has no…

Apologies for the delay – some of these have been in the queue for a week – but the Gameplay Tricks page now has 5 new entries – some pretty incredible stuff in there! Check it out. Update: Total new tricks for the day has been bumped to 6 – I’d forgotten one! Ouch.

Took a LONG time (one of these pictures is a week and a half old), but the One-Shots page finally gets an update (and an upgrade). 6 new pics… and some new searching and sorting features to go along with them. Check it out!

The Halo-to-Starcraft conversions continue – Alan Wu sends along Arrival, based on the first part of the Halo mission. (All we need now are in-game screenshots, for those of us without Starcraft…)

Cesar Berardini, of Team Xbox, has put up a review of the X VGA Box (an Xbox-to-VGA solution). If you’ve been dying to play Halo on your computer screen… check this out.

Having trouble dealing with huge quantities of Flood on the higher difficulty settings? protexts suggests trying ‘Bait, Retreat, Attack’ in this forum post. (Yes, once there’s a Gameplay Tips section, this’ll go there.)
