Halo at I-Con
Devastator (who we’ve mentioned in the past) went to the I-Con Sci-Fi convention in New York last weekend – and won first prize for his MC costume. Check out the pics!

New Vids at H2F
Two new movies of note over at Halo2Forum.com. The first is a dual montage from Wedow and Vinny Jones; it’s pretty cool, because Wedow did a fantastic job of color-coding the clips to let you know who was playing. (Watch it – it’ll make more sense once you do.) This one’s 128 mb, in WMP9…

Who was MC’s Grandfather?
Pak noticed a Halo 3 mention in yesterday’s Press Start to Play. Don’t tell Shishka.

Shut Up.
The Bungie Weekly Update is up – and though the date on the top of this page reads April 1, this update was posted on March 31 at Bungie.net – which means you should be pretty safe from April Fools-type jokes. Frankie debunks a rumor, sort of debunks a second one, tosses fans a REALLY…

What Number Strip Is This?
In honor of the 458th One One Se7en, Stuntmutt takes another look at Nicole… though not the look he’d like to take.

Light Reading Week
Well, after deleting the first 6 instances of The Meep’s first chapter (why do people have to go all postal on the submit button?), the solid blocks of unformatted text, and the speculation that belongs on the Story page or our forum, we’re left with 9 Fan Fiction entries this week. Go read.

You coulda built Rome a few times.
Over at Subnova, Funkmon found an article with some stats about Xbox Live – and while it focuses mostly on how the 360 is more tightly integrated with XBL than the original box was, it contains a Halo stat that’s pretty amazing: one third of all hours logged on Xbox Live since the service went…

IGN: The Rumor Guys
Gah. When sites as big as IGN post rumors about Halo 3 release dates, our mailboxes fill up with speculation. According to them, Halo 3 will be released in March 2007, with more info coming at E3. This might be true, it might be garbage… we can’t say. Bungie is still keeping mum about whether…

Lego Zanzibar
Kooberz has been building a model of Zanzibar out of Legos for quite some time – but he’s run out of money. He sent along a bunch of pics of the project as it stands… pretty cool stuff! Take a look.

Zany troupe, indeed.
Heh – the Rooster Teeth crew will be doing a film and Q&A session at the upcoming San Francisco Film Festival, in April and May. The title of the film? ‘Cock Byte: Masters of Machinima’ – you should definitely get tickets if you’re in the area. (They go on sale to the general public next…

Living In Oblivion.
Halo’s always been at the top of the XBL game list – but multiplayer isn’t all you can do with your 360. Stuntmutt looks at what happens when good stuff comes out that isn’t really for Live in today’s One One Se7en.

Intellectualizing Halo at UF
Justin Laufer pointed out an academic conference on video games coming up next weekend at the University of Florida in Gainesville – he’s giving a talk entitled ‘New Cyborg Philosophy: Techno-Religious Hybridization in Marathon and Halo’. Feel the Bungie Love!

The Halo-Related Art of Paul Davies
One piece of artwork that was submitted in January but didn’t get posted in the Misc Art update yesterday was a new work by Paul Davies – and the reason I didn’t post it is because we were in the process of setting up a new Gallery Page for Paul. His work has shown up…

Utfoo lives – again
Amaroq and Ducain put their heads together, and after rubbing the resultant lumps, they managed to create a 100% complete mirror of Frogblast’s website; the seminal trickster had documented most of his work, but the site was up and down, and finally down permanently. Rather than let this work be lost to the bitbucket, HIH…

UESC/UNSC Fabric Patch
Blayne Scott, a hardcore Marathon fan who maintains a couple of pieces of the bungie.org family of sites and who’s created a number of traditional-media items inspired by Marathon in the past, has whipped up a pretty cool Marathon Fabric Patch. (It’s simlar to the one seen on Captain Keyes’ uniform in the first game,…

Sheet music – now for schools
Wow, very very cool. We get email regularly from high school students or teachers looking for sheet music for Halo pieces; we generally send them to Rampancy.net, which has (I think) the largest collection of Halo sheet music on the net. However, most of this is fan-transcribed, and ranges in quality from very, very good…

Misc Art Update, Part 2
I’m STILL not done… but there’s another large batch of stuff in the Miscellaneous Art section today; I’m getting CLOSER to cleaning out the queue. There’s some amazing stuff in this round; I hate to draw attention to specific pics (because I worry that folks will look ONLY at those), but don’t miss Khan’s Forerunner,…

Captain Planet 2.0
imSuck and the HollywoodHalo crew submitted another vid to the MPRRS yesterday; it’s a spoof of the early 90’s Captain Planet cartoon. It’s a pretty funny piece, and (as is true of all of imSuck’s work) beautifully filmed. (To the whole HH crew – you guys need to move your mouths away from the mics…

The Valley of the Forerunners, Part 5
Valley of the Forerunners, Part 5 has been posted on the Halo CE Chronicles website. The marine contingent doesn’t understand what they’ve gotten themselves into – Sargeant Roberts learns the hard way what happens if he stops trusting Harrington. Great integration of stock Halo footage, combined with lots of new stuff. 8:40 long, available in…

Hitman: Redone
Incogneto submitted ‘Hitman: Redone’ to the MPRRS recently, and they liked it. So we’re serving it to you. It’s a movie about a guy who works for the mob, and one of his deals goes sour. Some nice effects here! Grab it in WMP9 format (41.5 mb) or QuickTime format (41.2 mb).
