Occasionally, we get word of a movie that turns out to be a lot of fun – Limit 3 Productions just let us know about Dodo Tales. Dodo is a soldier who… well, he’s a lot like me, I guess. DANG IT! That is – he’s not particularly good at the whole soldiering thing. The…

RVideo posted another group of Panoramas yesterday (and followed up with an explanation of parallax, and how it relates to pictures like this); I’d meant to post this yesterday, but forgot. Check these out – they’re great.(Louis Wu 16:35:25 UTC)

Heh – you thought maybe that crossover was a one-way deal? No way. Today’s Halo Heads comic is the conclusion of the One One Se7en we just posted. (Louis Wu 16:29:03 UTC)

Today’s One One Se7en is a crossover strip with Paul Maestri’s Halo Heads – but Stuntmutt still don’t get no respect. (I’d like to take this opportunity to send a major shout-out to sorahn, who took the time to port over – well, actually, rebuild – our calendar system for One One Se7en; it’s much…

highwaters visited our forum yesterday with news of a suit of Mjolnir armor he’s been working on since last summer – the forum post has a teaser image, but his MySpace blog has a far more complete description of the process. He’s also allowed us to put up a local mirror, if MySpace is a…

Matt6908 wrote to point out a thread at the HollywoodNHouse forum – he’s created high-res versions of the Halo 2 Matchmaking Rank icons (currently just the first 43 levels, but the special levels are coming soon). Check ’em out!(Louis Wu 12:34:49 UTC)

An article in the Kingsport (TN) Times-News describes an upcoming tournament to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. If you’re going to be near northeast Tennessee on February 24, stop by!(Louis Wu 12:15:52 UTC)

darthbob posted the newly-updated contents from halo3.com on our forum last night – the info is useful to anyone in the US trying to clarify when they’ll know whether they’ve gotten into the Halo 3 Beta program. (There’s also a more concise note about this over at Bungie.net – thanks to 3Suns for pointing that…

Hellhawk stopped by this morning with an announcement of a new vid – a music video set to Gary Jules’ version of Tears for Fears’ ‘Mad World’. Very nice synching of Halo action to the song’s powerful lyrics – nice job! I was unhappy with the interlacing on the video, though, so I fixed it.…

Over at Bungie.net, there’s news of a new map pack release from the Halo:CE mod group CMT. Four new maps, with custom HUD, new weapons, and more. You can find screenshots and download links on the H2Vista.net forum. Thanks to newDeviLedeT1 for the heads-up. Update: In case the CMT website goes down (180 mb download…

IXI CHAM IXI stopped by our forum to let us know about a Halo song created by his cousins Aphrolyph: Sonsketched and Entellekt; it’s called ‘Halo Dos’, and though I’m not particularly a fan of rap, this is pretty well done. We’ve put up a local copy if you’re not excited about waiting for FileFront…

Rockslider has written up a nice method for doubling the number of allies you have during the Grav Lift fight on Truth and Reconciliation – thanks to Two Finger for the suggestion! Take a look.(Louis Wu 17:17:21 UTC)

Happy New Year, from the Halo Story Page crew! Jillybean has rooted through the mailbag, and come up with a bunch of Halo-Marathon connection theories (and some other stuff). Go read!(Louis Wu 17:15:40 UTC)

Over at the Halo 3 Data Archive, there’s an article about the shield bubble from Halo 3 (visible in the Halo 3 Commercial), and how it might be implemented, and controlled, in-game. There are a lot of assumptions (and frankly, some circular reasoning), but the fact is, Bungie hasn’t given us much to go on…

Back in early December, Jamie98s released Space Dementia, a movie about a guy on a space station who wasn’t in full control of his faculties. It was actually a very well-done vid, but Jamie wasn’t happy with it; he didn’t like the ‘Chapters’ that broke up the action. So he remade and re-released it. You…

A bit over a week ago, we posted some pictures of some paper Spartans created by Nomi for her friends in the Halo community. Nomi can’t make spartans for everyone – but she CAN show you how to make your own… and, in fact, has done that, with a tutorial and a template you can…

Veegie (who’s got a gallery here) dropped in to point out a collaborative work he put together with HawaiianPig (whose wallpapers brighten our Wallpaper collection, who’s done quite a bit of Red vs Blue scenework, and who’s won at least one HBO art contest) – the final product is a pretty amazing night scene. (Read…

Prometheus dropped by our forum to point out a sizeable update at The Halouvre – 65 new images, from 3 artists. He also pulled out a few highlights – to his list, I’d add this one; nice pose. (Louis Wu 13:54:40 UTC)

Ross Mills has been playing the recently-released World of Warcraft expansion, ‘The Burning Crusade’. He noticed some similarities between one of the new character types there… and some old friends of ours.(Louis Wu 13:48:47 UTC)

Mister Froggy pointed out that Halo, Articulated #6 is now online – Julie Benz talked to reporters about the Miranda Keyes character last summer, and the Master Chief has now gotten a chance to toss in his two cents.(Louis Wu 13:46:13 UTC)
