Cybrfrk has posted 106 pics from E3 on his website. Some have been seen before (on the b.org E3 coverage page) but many, many of them are new. Check ’em out!

Some of Stuntmutt’s One One Se7en episodes are turned in early, but involve topical (at the time of creation) subjects; I worried a bit that the joke would be lost by the time the strip was aired. Today’s strip is a perfect example… it involves the Megg easter egg, which was found over a month…

Back on May 13, we mentioned a non-shakeycam movie being distributed by Gamespot; it was 9.7 mb, in .MOV format. (It’s basically a highlight reel, but it’s direct feed.) It was (is) a free download, but you have to register with Gamespot to get it. Well, that same movie, in a smaller form (320×240, 3.4…

Gantry points out that episode 211 of the show ‘Filter’ on G4Tv (next airing this Thursday, 3:30 pm) covers the Most Anticipated Games of E3 – and Halo 2 is number 1. Watch it if you’ve got it! (If you just can’t get enough of G4’s Halo 2 coverage, they’ve also got an episode of…

Ryan ‘Mhaddy’ Matthews of the Junkyard writes to let us know that their Halo 2 section is now online. Content is sparse (because info about the game is sparse), but it will be filled out as the situation warrants. Check it out!

We posted a series of desktops on Saturday; 6 of them were variations on an existing wallpaper, done by a completely different person, who wasn’t consulted about (and doesn’t approve of) having his art modified. We’ve yanked the 6 offending pieces. Just a heads-up.

I HATE using the front page this way – and I won’t, any more. To whoever uploaded a 125 mb archive to our ftp area this evening (upload finished a bit before 7 pm EDT), without an email address, we’ll simply toss this. (It doesn’t have to be made public – but we need it…

Twelve pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today: Chapter 4: Rescue, by Vinny Stowaway Part 2 (3 of 3), by Dispraiser Tides of the Accolade [Part 01], by Argonox ONI Black Ops Part Ten, by Havok Beta Halo: On Earth’s Doorstep, by SPARTAN 053 Above and Beyond the Call of Duty: Part II;…

Under the wire… there are 20 new desktops for you today – but half of them are variations. Enforcer turned in 6 images, in 16 variations. (On top of that, we got 4 OTHER submissions.) Check out the whole mess in our Wallpaper section! Update: The total has been reduced by 6 – see this…

Mom, he’s doing it again…

Red vs Blue Episode 8 is now up for sponsors (thanks, Ross). If you watched episode 7, you knew this one was gonna be sad… but man, for a sad episode, it’s hilarious. If you don’t wanna pay ’em any money, you’ll have to wait until Sunday to grab this… but $5 gets you access…

…missed it by THAT MUCH. One One Se7en’s Friday episode was ready to go, but I didn’t make it home to post it. Go read it now.

Thanks to Eric Jury, who pointed out that the Wayback Machine had an archive of the Acquisition FAQ we mentioned yesterday. I’d checked there… but only on earlier dates (closer to the time of the actual reporting). My mistake. To ensure that it doesn’t get lost again (and so that URLs listed can be made…

A week and a half ago, Warbow posted a few very nice shots of the limited-edition Master Chief action figure given away at the fanfest. For some unknown reason, I neglected to ever mention this to the wider front-page audience. Consider it mentioned.

Blackstar is setting up a lanfest in Andover, MA this summer – on a massive, massive screen. (See this forum post for some details.) Attendance is pretty limited… but you can (at the very least) watch the new promo vid for the event. Just under a minute long, 9.1 mb, QuickTime format. I think I…

Recently, Westlake updated its Project Status page; The OS 9 status for Halo Mac went from ‘Undecided’ to ‘No’. The Mac version of Halo, then, will be OSX only. Thanks to mnemesis for the heads-up.

I’d like to apologize for the holdup in announcing the winners in the recently concluded Pillar of Art contest. An unfortunate set of circumstances: real-life work pressures, judge schedules, and most importantly, awaiting a return package from Bungie of some of the pieces we had the extreme pleasure of showing at the recent E3 Bungie…

Now THIS is a typo no journalist should make. Thanks to HUNTR-KILLR for the heads-up.

Whoa… long time coming, but it looks like Take 2 is finally gonna exercise some options it acquired back in 2000. The Acquisition FAQ doesn’t seem to be online anywhere any more (I was pretty sure SOMEONE had archived it, but I can’t find a copy), but it included information about what Take 2 got…

Infininja points out another pair of Halo Dog Tag auctions at eBay… this one has just under a day to go, and currently sits at $30… while this one has a bit OVER a day, and is sitting at $4.99 at the moment (that’s sure to go up, though). How bad do you want one…
