iBonk.com begins to branch out – they now have a reader-submitted collection of pics of a warthog balancing on its front bumper on Blood Gulch. (Hey! Gameplay Tricks is OUR bag! 🙂 ) Check it out – that’s some nifty balancing! (Thanks to MaTT for the heads-up.)

Aerothorn writes to point out that The Cole Protocol is running a contest – the winner needs to submit a picture with the most copies of Halo visible in it. Check out their news page for March 4th and 5th for details on rules and prizes.

BarrysWorld has put up their Halo review – and it glows. Check it out – we’ve added it to our Reviews Database. (75 sites have reviewed Halo – the average rating is 94.7%. Are there any other games that can say this?) Thanks to The Junkyard for the heads-up on this one.

Whoa – gone for two days, and the news backs up to the roof! There isn’t time to post it all right now – I’ve got a birthday party to organize – but I’ll put a few things up. First up: a relatively new feature on our forum has been the HBO Weekly Review. I’ve…

Whew! Back from Pennsylvania, after some rather excessive driving speeds and 17 hours (!!) of straight Halo playing – 16-player carnage with almost 25 players rotating through. More updates later, as well as text and pictures from the fest itself – but suffice it to say, we’re happy.

I’m headed to Pennsylvania for *Ar-Isildur’s End of Chemo Party, so updates will be rather sparse for the next couple of days. Be patient – I’m playing Halo!

Ian Barnes sends in Chapter 4 of his Operation: False Prophets saga. If you haven’t read the rest, you can read the series in one shot. Our Fan Fiction collection grows.

Slayer31 sends in some new pics of Sidewinder, with everything – jeeps, ghosts, and tanks – off the map. That’s a first, as far as I can tell… we’ve added it to our Gameplay Tricks section.

Due to yet ANOTHER obnoxious hacking attempt, anonymous logins on our ftp site have been suspended until I can get in and clean things. Sorry. If you have submissions, please mail them. Sorry.

ElectricSheep thought he had it – the mystery image with the Marathon logo was, in his opinion, Captain Keyes’ pipe. Preliminary investigation suggested this might be the case… but the context was all wrong. (The blue stuff around the object is nowhere to be seen in the first level.) Dave Candland confirmed that we had…

Two new submissions by Germain Couët – a Miscellaneous Art piece with some fun reflection work, and a desktop image for our Wallpaper section. Check ’em out!

poena.dare #CP#g brings attention to some interesting Halo schwag at eBay – there’s the Making of Halo DVD, a cool poster, and a collector’s card (made of metal). Matt points out, though, that the Making Of video will be available Soonâ„¢ at the Bungie Store… likely for far less than you’ll pay on eBay. Worth…

Bonk dropped in to our forum, explaining that iBonk.com has gotten an update – all tricks now have descriptions in words and pictures, in addition to the movies that were there before. They’re very nicely done, too – check it out!

Some may wonder why the largest hunt since the Glyph puzzle went uncommented-on by the maintainer of this site… chalk it up to vacation. 🙁 Two weeks ago, our forum was inundated with wild speculation about hippos, and their potential representations in various parts of Halo. Finally, on February 21, Frogblast found a REAL hippo…

Whoa – bizarreness. Haloplayers has lost the haloplayers.com domain, and can now be reached at www.haloplayers.net. They’re working on a complete site redesign, in anticipation of the release of the PC version of the game, and plan to support all the extras (squad hosting, email, etc) they supported in the past. In the meantime, their…

Regarding the new images posted at Tru7h and Reconciliation yesterday – Dave Candland has thrown down the gauntlet, with respect to this picture: Regarding scrn_084.jpg, you’re going to have to scrutinize very closely to find this one. The hippo was all over the place. This image can only be found in one location. I’ll be…

Three new entries for the Frogblast Tricks page… erm, the Gameplay Tricks page – all three are on the Maw. See how far you can push Halo – where can you go? This is some amazing stuff…

Bonk sent in another One-Shot – this time, it wasn’t even him. Some hunters came along and stacked up a pair of marines, one on top of another, on Silent Cartographer… there they were, just minding their own business, and the big bully Hunter decided one would look better standing on the other’s head. The…

More poetry, as Skyryan1 sends in The Motherworld for our Fan Fiction collection. Sadness from a Covenant viewpoint…

Games Magazine afficionados will recognize the latest batch of Screenshots at Bungie’s Tru7h and Reconciliation site as a fun game of Eyeballs – can you figure them all out? (Don’t play this game if you haven’t played Halo…) Additionally, a new section (inspired in part by an HBO fan request) has opened – Desktops. Getchyer…
