Way back when, when the Xbox was new in Japan, you could get a set of promotional dogtags in a cool pencil case by pre-ordering Halo. Over the years, these tags have shown up on eBay from time to time; there’s another set there now. The writeup says “LAST ONE OR YOU WILL NEVER GET…

One One Se7en plays with foreshadowing. It’s as subtle as the rest of One One Se7en.

Halo: Resolution looks at trickster Spartans… but I gotta say, they’re gonna need a lot more than that to succeed.

Hehe – PfhorSlayer tempts the Macheads in the audience with screenshots of Aquaduct 2 – even though you can’t actually download the app yet. Looks like a dream… I might even have to try XboxConnect again. 🙂

Whoa – take the night off, miss some pretty big stuff. SketchFactor interviewed Lorraine McLees over at Bungie.net – and if the timestamp is to be believed, it happened on MONDAY NIGHT! And it wasn’t until yesterday that anybody on our forum noticed this. (Thanks, Scimitarex.) It’s a pretty specific interview; Lorraine discusses what’s involved…

A couple of days ago, the Mac version of Halo was updated to 1.03, allowing Mac users to play with their PC brethren. The update also added a copy-protection scheme that required that the CD be in the machine in order to play Halo – a major change from the previous version. This change has…

SESpider has turned in Episode 12 of his Miniature Halo comic; check out that rockin’ plasma sword!

Macosxhints.com has made Mac Halo their software pick of the week, giving it a rating of 9/10 and writing a pretty positive review. Thanks to Jarvis Badgley for the heads-up!

Today’s Guest One One Se7en comes from Dark Impaler… and checks out the advantages of the MC’s new armor.

Eep – we forgot about our Comic updates today! FIrst up is Calvin and Halo – this time it’s the Warbow half of the tag team… and I gotta say, I was just IN that situation yesterday. Ouch.

On-X points out that halo-mods.com is holding a poll for your favorite mod; right now, MonoxideC’s Library Multiplayer map is winning, but there haven’t been many votes. If you mod your box, go add your vote! Update: I misunderstood – the voting is not just your average poll, it’s to determine the winner of their…

Though we’d still love it if you used BitTorrent for your downloads, we’ve supplied the FTC team with a bunch of direct download links for FTC10. A pair of them are linked on their downloads page – go grab the 56 mb divx-encoded low-res avi (352×224), or a higher-quality-but-smaller QuickTime (400×260, 45 mb) from their…

gutupio pointed out new content (sponsors-only) at RedvsBlue.com. There’s a rejected version of the SpikeTV Video Game Awards trailer, and scripts for the first two Season 2 episodes. If you’ve tossed ’em a few bucks, jump on and grab this stuff!

Nice find by Mantis819 – Bungie has put up an official page about their HPC server hosting. (The servers aren’t new – just the credit to Homelan is.) What’s odd is that you can’t rent a server from Homelan directly! (Well, that’s not completely true. You can rent a 16-player Halo server from them for…

Wow, very cool. DocOctavius started with a shot from the Halo 2 announcement trailer… and morphed into the Nightmare Armor. Electronic to real, in 16 seconds. Movie link is in the forum post. (1.4 mb, quicktime format.)

Oops, careless – Homelan interviewed the leader of the Nightmare Armor team yesterday, and we forgot to post it! Some new pictures, and some tidbits that didn’t make it into the interview with Frankie at Bungie.net… worth a read! (Thanks to Battleground: Halo, where I saw this first.)

Evilburger has released the second of his ‘Subzero Rivalries’ comics; I’m a little worried about the mental health of at least one of the characters. He should be releasing one or two comics every other week – so we’ve added a link to the bottom of our Comics page, for easy access. Thanks to MarkHawk…

For Windows XP users with Radeon cards – Nick points out that ATI has released a new version of its Catalyst drivers (4.1) that fixes a couple of Halo PC bugs. Grab this if you’re affected!

The HBO-Subnova Halo PC server has been updated to 1.03 again – what this means is that the wild and whacky gametypes pioneered on the HBO-GameDaemons server (but not playable there now – it’s offline) can be enjoyed by Mac and PC users alike! Go shoot some people. (And don’t forget to let Deimos know…

On September 30, PC owners got the chance to play Halo on their computers. Mac users had to wait until December 12… but right at the time that Mac Halo was released, the PC version was PATCHED – and Mac and PC users couldn’t meet each other on the field of battle. It’s taken quite…
