Pimps at Sea goes Live! Check out the Pimps at Sea page over at Bungie for some pretty darn cool hardware to accompany this amazing almost-ready product. (Yeah, we know, it’s not Halo-related… but the more-than-half-dozen Halo-related items posted this morning at Bungie.net have fallen victim to a new build of their server software, and…

Wow. Yesterday, Eclarap pointed out a link to the PC Halo Strategy Guide. It’s not for sale yet, but that was the first we’d heard that it even existed. (I, personally, figured that the Prima guide would serve.) There was a bit of speculation on our forum about the comments that there would be new…

poena.dare has taken the cleaned-up covers of GURPS Halo and interpreted what can be found in the text. Keats and new taglines… go read about it at Bungie Sightings!

c0ld vengeance, back from a long absence, has found what might be a pretty cool easter egg – the letters ‘TR’ (for Truth and Reconciliation) written out in the lights of the ship of the same name on the level Keyes. Clever!

mnemesis has put up a nice review of Halo: The Flood, over at the Halo Story page. There are minor spoilers in there – but mostly for the Halo storyline, not for the book. Suffice it to say, this book will shake up what you thought you knew about Halo. And it’s available in stores…

After a long time with no submissions, the Logos section gets another entry. We’ve also put up a layered Combat Evolved document (photoshop format, 1.1 mb, zipped) that appeared on the web – in a much larger size – for a short time about 18 months ago. If you want to make your own Halo…

Next up in the ‘clearing the queue’ game… 6 art pieces for our Miscellaneous Art collection. Everything from Zelda/Halo crossovers to armed school invasions. Check ’em out!

Wow. I wonder if this really has a market? A company called CodeJunkies has created a product called ActionReplay, a $39.99 package (£19.99 in the UK) that uses a specially-modified 8 MB memory card to move saved games from your PC to your Xbox and back. (The package comes with ‘powersaves’ – saved games from…

Nice find by Eclarap – looks like the Official Strategy Guide for the PC version of Halo is being done by Sybex (the Xbox version was done by Prima), and it should be released on June 15, 2003. According to the Amazon.com listing for it, The PC product refines and improves upon the Xbox version…

Gonna try and clear out the art queue today. First up: desktop images. We’ve got 7 for you – you’ll find ’em in the Wallpaper section.

Both 2 and 2 make 5, over at Subnova, and Doggone, on our own forum, have cleaned up the recently unearthed (but damaged) front cover for GURPS Halo. Check the pics out, and speculate away!

Oops, forgot this one – Sector7, which opened a while back, then died, is back online. Or… at least, it’s supposed to be. (All I get is a flash animation of the title…)

guy who doesn’t post… too often wanted to point out his Halo site. Take a look.

Team Overkill is the first to post a summary of the Dead Rabbits event that happened here at HBO Headquarters yesterday. (They won’t be the last, I don’t think…) It’s a good read, and covers the spirit of the day pretty well. I’ll say it was an honor to be killed so many times by…

Hehe – nice pickup by oddworld – this week’s Photoshop Phriday at Something Awful contains a pretty nice Halo parody. Check it out!

Another day… another lanfest in the past. Apologies for the sparse updating yesterday, but there were 26 Halo fanatics here yesterday, from as far south as mid-New Jersey and as far north as the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border… 5 states were represented, and the carnage was nonstop. Mostly the games were just for the heck of…

News will be sparse today… Dead Rabbits kicks off in less than 2 hours. 30 Halo fanatics, all crammed into my house, shooting each other and making the dogs crazy. Should be fun!
