Saturday’s Fan Fiction offering:Roughneck Two-Zero, part 7, by Anthony Coronado Effusion, part 8, by Tursas Finishing what you started, Part 3, by LeAtHeRnEcK Get an early start…

DrunkGamers.com has put up part 9 of its Halo Tips movie series (whatever happened to part 8? I think they were drinking too much) – this one looks at Warthog Skeet Shooting. (It’s actually more like trap shooting… but who am I to quibble?) They’ve issued a challenge – send in a three-hit shot, and…

And the awards continue to pile up for Marty O’Donnell… Rolling Stone has given him ‘Best Original Soundtrack in a Game’ in their upcoming E3 issue. Gotta love it! (Thanks to Jay Weinland for the heads-up.)

Bungie has put up some details about the upcoming Fanfest and the Halo Tournament to be held during E3 – you can find them on the Seventh Column site. Thanks to Vector40 for the heads-up.

MaxThndr has created some cover art for his Fan Fiction series The Ardan Landings, using the Halo font created by Will Turnbow. You can find it in our Miscellaneous Art section.

A pair of desktops came in last night – you’ll find both of them in our Wallpaper collection.

Thanks to 3Suns, who scanned in a flyer distributed in Japan, advertising an upcoming Halo Championship and some schwag given away with the first copies of Halo. We’ve added it to our Press Scans section.

Now this is just plain cool. Will Turnbow went looking for a Halo font, as many others before him have done – but when he didn’t find one, he created it. Currently, it’s just the letters, but he’s said that if there’s demand, and people approve of the work so far, he’d be willing to…

Thursday’s Fan Fic:The Hell Of War, part 10, by Jaywhit10 Last Hope, part 3, by SSJBRK Operation: False Prophets- Afterward, by Ian Barnes Don’t forget to leave feedback on the stories you read!

Whoa – the first Logo upload since December! Check it out…

Sometimes, the art’s pretty strange. What can I say?

Heh – funny poll at MacGamer.com: “Which signs of the Apocalypse would happen before Halo comes to Macintosh?” I sorta like the last option… seems that nearly 60% of the other voters do, too. (Weird polling stuff going on.)

Wednesday’s Fan Fic:Last Hope, part 2, by SSJBRK The Long Ride Home, part 7, by Joshua Barreto Operation False Prophets, part 14, by Ian Barnes Go get ’em…

Micro295 has turned in a Halo bookmark, for your reading pleasure – you’ll find it in our Miscellaneous Art section.

The Halo Movies section is still not as navigable as I’d like… but it’s a little better. You can now sort searches by Name, or date, or (maximum) filesize – and that includes restricted searches. (That is, if you’re looking for music videos, you can resort the results in more productive ways.) Hope this helps!…

Rolling… on the floor… laughing.

Today, almost 7 months after the release of Halo, we received mail from SquirrelJam, asking about the numbers on the front of the Scorpion tank. (He had his suspicions. They were right.) We’ve added a new entry to the Halo Easter Egg page… and for good measure, have finally written up an old egg that…

We missed this earlier today, but Bungie has made a new theme available to Seventh Column chapters – Hunters. If you want to see what it looks like, visit The HBO Junkies! Thanks to Stosh, for creating it.

Heh – Gamespy has put up a new Grudge Match on their front page; Spider-Man vs. Master Chief – who wins? Currently, Spidey’s whuppin’ the TAR out of MC… go see if you can change that. (Thanks to Darth Paul for the heads-up.)

Dang – this came last night, missed it. 🙁 Ryan ‘Mhaddy’ Matthews, of The Junkyard, wrote to let us know that the Junkyard has been experiencing some downtime (since the weekend, actually – they’re not dead, just offline for a bit. They’ll be back up and running soon.
