It’s not going to be as regular as our other comics, but Warbow shows no sign of slowing down… yet. Calvin and Halo, episode 12, has been posted – and it definitely got a laugh out of me!

Seventeen entries for you today in the Fan Fiction database: The War Within, by Dustin Jake A Model IV Chapter Two: Broken Men, by Slipping Knot The Second War: Prolouge (My triumphant comeback!!), by FOrunnER Foregoing the Experience, by Mainevent Fight for New Tatley Finale (Chapter 9: Saving New Tatley), by CoLd BlooDed Old Style:…

IGN put up part two of their Halo vs Halo 2 comparison (part 1 went up on Saturday). It’s still Insider-only, but you have the option of downloading just the second part, or the whole thing (133 mb in 640×480 format). Thanks to caudronix for the heads-up.

MC gets lost in today’s Guest One One Se7en. Hmm…

(GT)Juggler has put up another glitch film, his fifth. Brings back memories of the golden age of Halo tricksterism (early 2002) – I don’t think there are any NEW glitches here, but they’re put together nicely, and for folks who haven’t been around for years, it’s a great overview. 16.6 mb, in QuickTime format. Grab…

Wonga. SparkEdit 2.5 has been released; it now supports model viewing, object property viewing, BSP mesh property viewing, object rotation, and more. Grenadiac posted a screenshot on our forum – looks great! (Supports Xbox and Halo PC.)

MaverickJ came back to our forum to point out the Halo Nationals, a $10,000 contest taking place in late February in Philadelphia. The money sounds great; that $10k is GUARANTEED, no matter how many teams show up. Entrance fees get ADDED to it, so the more teams that enter, the more money there is to…

Halo Babies is back up! Bandwidth restrictions have lifted a bit, so there’s a strip today, and there’ll be another on Friday. There’s also a PayPal link, if you want to help out with their moving costs… The strip itself is Christmas-themed… and a harbinger of things to come. Ouch!

Man, I wish there were a faster way to handle this stuff… but there isn’t. I’ve cleared out the Wallpaper queue; there are 20 new desktops (more, if you count variants) in the database today. Some of these are simply gorgeous. Check ’em out!

Lotus222 reminded us that MacGamer’s Giveaway from last week (3 copies of Halo to the best three ‘Master Chief goes to Hollywood’ photoshop jobs) has been completed. After seeing the winners, I’m wishing I’d finished my ‘Enter the Master Chief’ pic…

Gre’Thor117 submitted a new film; it splices concept art and Halo 2 footage together with EdgeN’s recent Halo music in a pleasing manner. It’s entitled ‘Halo: Master and Chief’ (just like the soundtrack it uses), weighs in at 8.7 mb in WMP9 format, and is being graciously hosted by Coerce.net (look for big things coming…

Rams, over at Battleground: Halo, has put up another edition of the Rams Report; this one looks at the handling of Halo PC since its release. I actually disagree with most of his conclusions, though he does raise some very valid points. (He also looks at the Halo comic scene, but I hesitate to comment…

The World Cyber Games website is soliciting input from gamers for the Official Game Events for the WCG 2004, and Halo is among the list of games up for consideration. To vote, visit the website, and follow the large blue ‘Official Game Events Selection for the WCG 2004’ banner in the top middle of the…

Geoff Fink (gfunk) and Gus Sorola (guS) , of Red vs Blue, have been interviewed over at machinima.com today; if you’re interested about how they got their start, and where they’re going, go read this! Thanks to Hugh Hancock for the heads-up.

Halo Universe has a fun puzzle posted right now; It’s Flash-based, and takes 10 screenshots and breaks them up into smaller squares. You have to put them back together in the right order. The game is timed, and I think this may be part of the problem; I tried to finish it, but got stuck…

Chris Bryan sent along a picture of the gloves for his MC Suit we mentioned yesterday; they’re looking pretty slick! We’ve added it to the page we put together for this project.

Edge_343 popped onto our forum yesterday to ask if anyone had ever gotten a Warthog into the final cutscene of Two Betrayals. I told him that, to the best of my knowledge, nobody had ever filmed this before, so he sent us some footage. 7.7 mb, QuickTime format; it shows how the hog was pushed…

One One Se7en, as well, begins a Christmas week… though we can’t say it’s with a ‘bang’. More like a ‘rimshot’.

Today’s Halo: Resolution is the first in a week’s worth of Christmas-themed strips… enjoy!

More tower building… nukedude posted a boatload of pictures (and links to more) showing some fun cooperative play on the HBO servers last night. Good to see folks are still working together!
