The day has come – and man, have we been waiting for it! The Pillar of Art contest results have finally been posted. Details, and images of all the entries, can be found on the Pillar of Art site… but we’ll recap the basic stuff here.First Prize: Adam Vehige ($250, and a signed piece from…

A few links for you: Tekkomix was one of the sites kind enough to contribute bandwidth to the mad trailer rush last week – they also host a Halo clan, The Shadows. Brandon points out Installation 07, a Halo forum that needs some new members. And Alberto wants us to know about LANWARRIORS, an Italian…

HemoGloben noticed that IGN has a hi-res trailer for tonight’s X-Factor special on the Discovery Channel; if you’re not an insider, you’re stuck with a WMP9 version, but Insiders have access to a 32 mb QuickTime version. It’ll definitely whet your whistle for this program! (Along those lines, SketchFactor forwarded a fun little promo graphic…

Red vs Blue episode 10 is out now for sponsors… this has got to be the funniest episode yet. It’s also HUGE; it’s almost like they slapped together two episodes to make up for last week’s missed episode. (They weren’t slacking, they were serving you folks more than a terabyte a day of Halo 2…

Quick heads-up: We’re very, very close to announcing the results of the Pillar of Art contest. There are a few finishing touches needed to be put on the presentation of the work… but it won’t be long now! Once again, I’d like to apologize to all the contestants for the delays we’ve encountered… and tell…

Apologies to the rather large list of folks who were waiting for their Gamertag/screenname entries to be approved – I guess Tarrsk is on vacation. I just noticed them; dunno how long they’ve been there for. 🙁 Anyway, now’s as good a time as any to make sure your games list is up-to-date… forum regular…

In an attempt to curb the email, we’d like to state that Mythica.org, our primary bandwidth donator for Halo movies, is down right now. We don’t have word yet on what’s wrong, or when it will be back up… but rest assured, as soon as we know, you’ll know. If you click on a download…

Nice find by CSJ – Bungie has posted ANOTHER sign from the E3 trailer for those who like to read such things. Nice tip o’ the hat to Hill Street Blues… (The discovery method for this one is pretty funny.)

For the folks that have trouble with our forum, we’ve added a small FAQ – you can find the link at the very top of the forum. It covers things that turn up on the forum itself. (Very little of it is Halo-related, specifically.) Thanks to Cybrfrk for its inception, and mnemesis for editing help.

Wednesday’s One One Se7en is now up. Harsh truth… but tru7h nonetheless.

Yesterday, Gholsbane posted a rough sketch of the E3 demo map. Today, he’s got a polished, colored version, with pretty icons and everything. Check it out!

SketchFactor graced our forum with a pretty clear shot of the Hog billboard from the E3 demo trailer. He was afraid nobody would notice it, though… go appease his fear, would you? Thanks.

Wow. Every week, we get email from folks who want their site to be added to our Links list. We announce ’em all… but it’s rare that I’m as impressed with one as I am with Halogamers.com. Clean design, good (unique) content, lots to explore… It’s not finished yet, but it’s well on its way.…

Another Halo 2 Preview posted – this time over at GamePlasma. Some um… interesting suggestions (the machete’s back? And release has been pushed up to December 2003?), but mostly a pretty upbeat piece. Thanks to TankRamp, at Battleground: Halo, for the heads-up. (We’ve added this to our Previews section.)

A pair of Canadian tournaments for you: Got Game has a FFA tourney running June 27-29 in Victoria, British Columbia – $20 to get in, $500 first prize, more details at the website… and Fragapalooza, in Edmonton, Alberta, will happen on July 17-20 – it includes a 4v4 CTF tourney. There’s $30,000 in prizes on…

Last alternative version, at least from us: this one is in WMP7 format, 360×243 big, weighing in at 46.2mb. If anyone has a problem with it, PLEASE let us know. We’ve also put up a secondary mirror list, for those times (like this afternoon) when HBO goes offline for a bit. They should be identical;…

The Halo 2 Caption contest has drawn to a close… and Evil Otto has had some fun writing up the results. He included some REALLY bad entries, some almost-good-enough entries, and, of course, the winners. (Several HBO regulars made the ‘almost-good-enough’ list, and a number of others used lines we’ve got in our Title rotation…

CuBaNo found two Battlefield 1942 mods that have previously gone unnoticed by us here: Aeolus: Spheres of Influence, and Home Front. Both have sizeable amounts of content so far… take a look!

Gholsbane has posted a sketch of the E3 Demo map… and you might be surprised by how tightly connected the whole level is. (He’s planning to update this map in the near future, so we’ve archived this early version for posterity.)
