Anonyme points out that the Halo Action Figures are available for pre-order at at least one online store. (It’s doubtful these are sanctioned by Joyride or Microsoft; they’re still using the images released when the figures were first announced, and as we’ve seen from the Bungie Webcam, the figures have changed quite a bit since…

The way-cool 2003 Bungie Fanfest T-Shirt is now available for purchase at the Bungie Store; $12 buys you flaming ninja goodness. (Another, closer view of this can be found here – it’s the black shirt in the lower left.) Thanks to SketchFactor for the heads-up.

Couple of updates; one I missed a few days ago (oops), the other new today. A week ago, we mentioned a tournament in Athens, GA – but the reported website didn’t work. Here’s the right one. And Halo Source, a website we mentioned about a month and a half ago, is now back online, and…

The Pillar of Art Gallery showing will take place in next Saturday, July 5th, in lovely New York City. It’ll be open from 12PM onwards. At some point, we’ll then switch over to Halo LAN mode… put away the entries and then start to blow ourselves up. I’m trying to get 4 projectors and all…

Halogamers.com has put up a new version of their introduction episode of ‘The Sidewinder Saga’, a Red vs Blue-inspired project that has enormous potential. If you missed the mention in our forum yesterday… now’s your chance! It’s a 400×300 QuickTime5 film, weighing in at 5.9 mb. (Hosting help is always appreciated – just let us…

Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, has written an opinion piece on the future of interactive gaming. Give it a read!

One One Se7en takes potshots at Metroid Prime’s shortcomings… check it out.

These guys STILL don’t have the hang of the Series field in the database (6 of these 11 Fan Fiction entries had the series set incorrectly)… but we love ’em anyway. The Fallen : Chapter 2, Section 2, by Hikaru-119 The Fallen : Chapter 2, Section 3, by Hikaru-119 On A Pale Horse: Two Cruisers,…

Yesterday, I said that the art queues had been cleared out, and if your work hadn’t been posted, it was because we either rejected it, or couldn’t tell who it was from. Well, there was a third possibliity – I could have just missed the piece. 🙁 There were three – two Wallpapers and one…

Live in Virginia? Like Halo? There’s gonna be a tournament on August 9 in Virginia Beach. There’s a site with almost no info… but you’ll find some more details on our forum.

Hehe – a LAN party site wrote up a list of predictions about what would happen after Halo 2 is released. It’s pretty funny. Thanks to The Friendly Greek for the heads-up.

More awesome movie content. MaverickJ has put together Part II of CTF Flag Getting 101… and man, your jaw’s gonna drop when you see some of these. (Try ’em on XBC – your opponents will tell you you’re cheating.) It’s available in two formats; a 11 mb WMP9 file and a 29 mb MPEG. For…

Sometimes, you just gotta grin.

Darksage (aka Benjamin Jacobs on our forum) put together a little video for a contest over at the Red vs Blue forums. It was nicely done – enough so that we thought it would be worth the effort to reduce the filesize by about half. (It’s now 17 mb, zipped, in QuickTime format.) If you…

Thanks to Dan Chosich, who pointed out that UGO has put up a Halo PC preview with a set of ‘exclusive PC screenshots’ (there are three of them, but the third one has been out for a while), and a Halo 2 preview. He found this info over at the Junkyard. Good stuff!

Finn says he’s put up a little Halo Story Page update. Yeah… and the Hulk is a little bit green. Good stuff in this one…

And finally, last but not least… two new desktops for the day in the Wallpaper section. This clears out the art queue entirely. If you submitted something, and it hasn’t been posted yet, one of two things happened: we rejected it for not meeting our Image Posting Guidelines… or you submitted it with no attribution;…

And, while we’re clearing that art box, there were two Halo logos to be posted, as well… check the Logos section.

Four new banners posted, as well – one small, and three large (with a VERY large variant of one of them). Take a look! Update: whoa, just as that update went up, another one came in. This one should be at the bottom of our forum, or something…

The art backlog has been building; there’s finally been a free minute to clear it out. 10 pictures (plus a variation)… check ’em all out in the Miscellaneous Art section! Update: DRslamAlot’s Commander Jackal has been updated with a larger picture. (I really gotta check the uploads sites more often…)
