Stuntmutt revisits the mystery at the top of 343 Guilty Spark in today’s One One Se7en. Dunno why… I was expecting a ‘Can you hear me now?’ joke instead…

Poll smash; Gamespot wants to know what 2004 release you’re most looking forward to? Halo 2 is currently on top; if you can stomach the enormous ad to get in, help make sure it stays there. (Thanks to Alucard for pointing it out.)

Noobs – you gotta love ’em. Halo: Resolution shows you why.

Another mirror has appeared for the Making Of Halo 2 vid – WorthPlaying has put up copies on all its servers. (Three are in the US, one is in Sweden.) Don’t miss this one! Update: Halo Orbit, in Germany, has put up a copy, as well. Check the mirror page! Update 2: and 6 MORE…

In honor of the release of Halo: First Strike in bookstores today, Bungie has put up a brand-new wallpaper (in four sizes), using Lorraine McLees’ gorgeous cover artwork. Check it out!

Wow. Dave Mertz, lead designer on Halo PC for Gearbox, resigned as of yesterday. Details can be found in this forum thread on Gearbox’s forum. Hmm… I wonder what this means for the 1.03 patch, or the Editing Tools package? Thanks to progamerz for the heads-up.

For those interested in the AGP Fall Halo Championship, rapture has rounded up a bunch of links for you. Good stuff!

Woohoo! My Red vs Blue DVD came in the mail today… and man, this thing rocks. I’m not gonna get very much work done in the next bit here… All I can say is, if you haven’t already ordered one of these, go do it. It’s worth the bucks.

Back in September, an interesting documentary was shown at the X03 event in France. It was a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Halo 2, created by Film Oasis, the company behind ‘Inside the Xbox’, a documentary shown on the Discovery Channel last summer. Unfortunately, the only version available has been a shakey-cam piece filmed…

Today’s Guest One One Se7en strip comes from Traumatised Marine – and points out the soldier Bungie managed to overlook when they populated the Pillar of Autumn.

Once again, a 3-day hiatus in Fan Fiction posting has led to a ridiculously-sized update; 31 stories. (There was one more, valid one… but it was too big, and the database couldn’t handle it. Hopefully, the submitter will resubmit in smaller chunks.) Final Fate: Mankind’s Despise, by Jinkaiden-XI The Final War: Battle for Installation 02…

It’s been quite a bit of work, and not all of it’s visible… but mnemesis and Finn have overhauled the Halo Story page, with new design tweaks, new organization, and new information. Poke around, see what you can find… there’s some good stuff in there!

Today’s One One Se7en has MC a tad fixated on the review score Edge Magazine gave Halo PC. We know how that can be. (On a more sober note, for all the folks who misinterpreted my One One Se7en note yesterday – the truth is, I LOVE this strip. I wouldn’t complain if Stuntmutt turned…

The sad thing about today’s Halo: Resolution is that we’re STILL getting emails like this, more than 2 years after the release of Xbox Halo.

MaverickJ stopped in this afternoon to post the results from the AGP Fall 2003 Halo Championship. HP Darkman was unseated by Walshy of the Psycho Soldiers, with Clockwork and Strange Purple taking 3rd and 4th spots. Forum regular Break Point was there, and wrote up his own take on Day 1 – there’s a version…

progamerz stopped by our forum to point out that a new version of HaloSpy has been released; this build adds screenshot viewing capabilities and autojoin and game autolaunch functions. Check it out!

Ross Mills found a Master Chief model for Unreal Tournament 2; you can find download links (and a screenshot of the model) in this thread on the Atari forums. His feet look a little funny… but maybe that’s just the angle.

Not long ago, it became clear that the submissions for One One Se7en were quickly outstripping our chance of hosting them in a reasonable timeframe, and the Archive was born. (Next week’s Archive update already has nearly 30 strips in it.) It took much of the pressure off the Guest queue… but Stuntmutt hasn’t been…

Wonga. Now that the DVDs are done, Red vs Blue is back at work; filming on season 2 has begun, and they’re shooting for a mid-December release of episode 20. (They’re also hoping to have another Public Service Announcement between now and then.) Thanks to Ross Mills for the heads-up.
