Stuntmutt has decided to do something very special this holiday season; he’s created a One One Se7en Advent calendar. Every day this December (until Christmas), there’ll be a new ornament on the tree, corresponding to that day’s comic. These comics will go live at a fixed time – probably noon, Eastern time (5pm UTC, 9am…

It seems that there was a problem with the Puzzleball 03 map c0ld vengeance released yesterday; a bug which pretty much killed the competition. He’s fixed it, and asks that everyone re-download the map if they want to participate. (If you used the old map, but didn’t exploit the bug – see his post -…

Bungie Weekly Update is up – Frankie lets you know why you shouldn’t worry about the downloadable content coming next week. And what’s coming after that. And when the next podcast is coming.

Many people are annoyed by the delays occurring with the Halo: Uprising comic from Marvel. Judging by today’s One One Se7en, Stuntmutt is one of them.(Louis Wu 18:47:22 UTC)

TTL Demag0gue has gone back to the poster-edged look for Reclaimer – Chapter Two, Part Five looks great, and makes it clear that the Viper team is in trouble. (Louis Wu 11:24:52 UTC)

After being posted a couple of days late last week, the weekly Fan Fiction update is back on track. This week’s offering is understandably light – six pieces. Go read!(Louis Wu 11:20:50 UTC)

stan has proven that he has way, way, WAY too much time on his hands. (Louis Wu 11:18:17 UTC)

1UP has put together a graphical summary of the Halo 3 storyline, for folks who might be confused about certain points. Not all the info is canon (for example, I was under the impression that Installation 05 was closer to Earth than Installation 04), but in general, it’s a decent overview, in an entertaining format.…

Don was the first to let us know about an article on Yahoo! Games – it’s another summary of games that might be up on the big screen in the forseeable future. Halo’s on the list, though the project is currently in limbo. Yahoo is pessimistic about the chances that a decent flick coming out…

Halo3.junk.ws is quickly becoming the place to go to look at your Halo 3 stats; the options they offer over Bungie.net are ridiculous. They’ve just added a game browser that lets you filter your games based on more than 20 parameters – date played, game length, headshots, type of medals… you can see exactly how…

The ‘Break it Down’ blog looks at a couple of articles that detail the evolution of water in video games… and decides that Halo 3 is better than any of the games they looked at. Go read why!(Louis Wu 21:07:44 UTC)

Due to some true foolishness, Another Halo Comic Strip has been offline for several hours – but it’s back now, with a new funny. Hmm… I’m not sure ‘funny’ is the right word, in this particular case… in fact, some of you may wish I’d kept the site broken after reading it. In any case,…

Microsoft’s Larry Larsen went into the Microsoft company store with a camera to take some cool footage of pieces of the huge diorama built for the Believe ad. Taylor Smith, of the Xbox Global Marketing Team, helps to explain what you’re looking at. Amazing stuff.(Louis Wu 20:22:29 UTC)

On Essentials, Disc One (the disc that comes with both the Limited and Legendary Editions of Halo 3) is a six-part documentary called ‘Anatomy of a Game: Making Halo 3’. (We reviewed it just before Halo 3 was released.) One of those parts focuses on Halo’s story – and that piece, reshuffled a bit, is…

I’ve you’ve never seen a Video Games Live concert – they’ll be on TV during Spike TV’s 2007 Video Game Awards, airing December 9. Thanks to Music 4 Games for the full details.(Louis Wu 18:58:24 UTC)

Another Top X list – this time it’s at IGN, and it’s the Top 100 Games of All Time. (Well, the 2007 edition, anyway.) You can read a summary of their older rankings in last year’s newspost – but the bottom line is, Halo’s slipping. In 2003, it was 39th. 2004 – 18th (but this…

Jimmy Jangles wrote a not-safe-for-work essay on why Halo 3 is better than sex. Um… yeah. You decide.(Louis Wu 18:13:44 UTC)
