A pretty darn cool sponsor-only extra is now available at Red vs Blue – check the Sponsors for more details. Currently WMP9 only… but a QuickTime version is coming. Thanks to P_40E for reminding me to go back and check.

Another guest strip from Germain Couët over at One One Se7en; a different perspective on the Halo 2/Half Life 2 rivalry…

Microsoft has put up shots of Infinity, the last of the 6 new levels in Halo PC, on the official HPC site. These, combined with the shots you can find in our Fanstock Screenshots section (put up almost a month ago), should give you a good sense of how massive this level is (and how…

Move over, Evel Knievel… Baby Elite’s gonna kick your butt. There’s a new Halo Babies posted – thanks to mrsmiley for the heads-up.

Gearbox has posted a new shot to its Projects page; it’s a followup to the last shot (showing a flamethrower on Boarding Action). This one is called Victory Inferno… and it looks painful.

For those who like to see dead bodies – SketchFactor decided I needed a little comeuppance.

iGames is planning to host an international Halo PC championship, with a showcase event to be made available during the week of October 13. For more details, go visit CobaltNova.com – they’ve got the lowdown!

Forerunners.org has posted the Halo PC box art, as received from Genevieve Ostergard (Microsoft Game PR). If you’re having trouble downloading it from there, Dolbex has mirrored it on his site. This image was posted to our forum some time in the past week, but for the life of me, I can’t find the post…

Do you miss Frogblast? I do. Stuntmutt keeps him alive in our memories, though, with today’s One One Se7en. Rock on.

Red vs Blue Episode 18 is now up for sponsors. (Yes, that means the rest of you are gonna hear about something you won’t be able to download before Sunday. Deal with it.) Caboose is going for the record of Stupidest Human With Muscle Control… he’s got a good shot at it. Funny stuff.

Interesting – did someone jump the gun, or is this just another instance of not enough information? Stuntmutt points out a new Microsoft site in the UK, advertising Halo PC… and it’s got, emblazoned across the top in bright letters, ‘Available 10 October 2003’. Is this the official date Gearbox said they’ll announce in 1-4…

Want to know where Halo PC stands at the moment? Read the word from Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox, on his own forum. Thanks to Nightshade for pointing it out. Update: It looks like Gearbox’s MySQL server barfed; the link is pretty useless for the time being. If you get a page with a bunch…

Massive Halo PC coverage: Gamers Hell has a preview and 33 new screenshots, GameGossip has a preview (contains 5 screens), and Game Over has a preview (12 screens, but several are taken from the Firing Squad preview last week). Of the three, I’d have to say that the Game Gossip piece has the most meat……

And the egg parade continues. Just when you thought there were no more eggs to be found in Halo… c0ld vengeance turned up one under the pilot’s seat in the lifepod. Check this forum thread for details.

A Halo benefit tourney will be taking place in Los Angeles on September 24, to raise money for a local theater group’s production of A Clockwork Orange. It’s $10 to get in, and there’s an 18 and older age limit. Check out the details in this forum post!

Funky – there’s a yellow warthog showing on the Bungie webcam at the moment. (If it’s gone by the time you read it, you can see a saved picture here.) Whether this is a customized hog (a standard Joyride hog, repainted by a Bungie employee), or a future offering from Joyride, is unknown at this…

TeamXbox is giving away a pair of Halo action figures – MC and Cortana – to the winner of a drawing to be held soon. To enter the drawing, simply sign up for TXB’s newsletter. Thanks to Nick Danger for the heads-up.

Today’s One One Se7en guest strip comes from Germain Couët, normally known around these parts for his Miscellaneous Art and Wallpaper submissions. What’s the difference between the Halo, Halo 2, and Halo PC MCs? Hmm…
