Well, it’s time for the Seven Day Poll to come to a close – and if you hadn’t noticed, ‘Wait for me!’ was the runaway winner of the ‘lamest Crewman voice snippet award’, garnering 62% of the 8200 votes (beating its nearest competitor by by almost 3300 votes). Interestingly enough, I just discovered today who…

Two new websites to mention to you tonight… A very classy Flash-based site called 343 Guilty Spark (Your 100% Unofficial Halo 2 Source) and a German clan site known as DGD-Clan. The Halo community is growing by leaps and bounds!

It took a LONG time, and a LOT of help from Warbow and Free at Last (who did all the real gruntwork)… but the Miscellaneous Section is finally up-to-date. (Well, almost. There were a couple of things yesterday that should probably go in it… but they’re not local yet.) Some of the search functionality has…

SketchFactor has posted some impressions from a fan who was at the CPL 2003 Summer Event – an inspiring read. Swing by b.net and take a look!

Tocki, of Halo Orbit, points out an exclusive at their site – information about the German version of the ‘Fall of Reach’ novel. There’s a cover pic, a release date, more. Stop by if you’ve been waiting for this!

C.C.R. and Spartaco have put together a movie showing how to get all the vehicles on top of a Blood Gulch base. It’s 2:47 long, 10.4 mb large, in WMP7 format. They’re hosting it themselves at Suite904. If you’ve had trouble getting vehicles on top of the bases, you might want to grab this.

Four new Halo Cover concepts came in in the past week – one front cover, and 3 front-and-back combos. You’ll find them all in our Cover Art Contest section (they’re the last entries on the page). One of them isn’t even Halo 2 – it’s Halo 1.5. Take a look!

11 new dialogue snippets from Captain Spark for the Dialogue Databank. The man is a treasure trove – 416 of the 554 snippets currently in the collection have come from him – and they’re almost invariably clean (minimal background noise, good capture). Enjoy these!

Once again, Stuntmutt is slighted by my busy schedule. Yesterday’s One One Se7en didn’t get posted properly. I blame Cortana. (You have to blame SOMEONE, right?)

That Weasel Television has ramped up the number of movies it’s currently hosting – new arrivals include, among others:FTC 5 (QuickTime, 10 mb) FTC 6 (QuickTime, 15 mb and DivX, 20 mb) Black and White 0 (QuickTime, 10 mb) Predator (QuickTime, 21 mb) Dr Swiss’ How the Grunt Stole Halo 2 (TWTv Exclusive, WMP9, 2.8…

C.O.E.R.C.E., the bandwidth consortium, continues to make new movies available in our hour of bandwidth crisis. Newest addition to the archive: Enter The Matrix, from Athol Productions. 15.9 mb, 4:07 long, in QuickTime 5 format, this movie has some pretty awesome editing effects. It’s not everything its creator wanted it to be, but it’s still…

Fire Team Charlie has finished FTC 6 – their most ambitious piece yet. Editing is fantastic, sound is good (though still rough in places) – this one has to be downloaded! One of these days, I gotta try that warthog trick… This one is 5:55 long, 20 mb, 352×128, in DivX5-encoded AVI format. (A 15.2…

Gettin’ there… Desktops are now cleared out, as well – 16 new images for you (plus one size variation). Check out the Wallpaper section! Update: We removed one of the images, because it used an older wallpaper as a base, without permission. Removal was at the request of the original artist. People… please. If you’re…

Another Monday, another Weekly Review! If you think you might have missed anything in our forum this past week, read this post. (Even if you think you DIDN’T miss anything, read this post – it’s got a nice spin on things you might have overlooked…)

Since my return from vacation last week, the art sections of b.org have been woefully unattended. Here’s step one in fixing that problem. 11 built-up pieces for the Miscellaneous Art section. A wide mix. Update: Oops, missed one.

mnemesis is on vacation… but Finn, less than two weeks from a pretty major paradigm shift, has managed to update the Halo Story page with a tasty morsel culled from today’s forum droppings. That Wado guy… he’s pretty sharp.

Full details will be forthcoming at the Halo50K site in the next day or two, but we got email from Bigsauce (a finalist at the Halo National Championships last year) with details about the top spots: Top 4 for the FFA: 1. Ogre2 2. Ogre1 3. StrangePurple 4. TDT Alex 2v2 Winner: Ogres 4vs4 Winner:…

After several months of being offline, Shishka’s Megg FAQ has been resurrected over at Subnova. There’s a few more steps than what you’ll find in our own Megg mini-FAQ (created at the height of the Megg furor) – if you’re new to the community, and have always wondered what the Megg actually is/was… check it…

It’s BOLL day, it appears. The guy just doesn’t stop. Check out his Halo Discs – I could see printing these as CD labels, I really could.
