Narcogen continues his defense of Stubbs the Zombie by dissecting a short review, and by contrasting Stubbs to analogous parts of Halo 2. This entry is a bit more strident than the last two… almost petulant in places. Still a good read.

A couple of days ago, NavSpecWarrior pointed out an article at Halo Orbit (a German site) devoted to Elites – their culture, their homeworld, anatomy… the works. I didn’t post anything because I was busy… but also because the article is written in German, and the majority of our audience doesn’t READ German. Oliver, from…

It was three years ago that a good friend and worthy Bungie/Halo fan, Brian Morden aka ∗Ar-Isildur, passed away after battling Ewing’s Sarcoma. The recent passing of That Weasel makes it all the more important to remember just how fragile life can be. Who was Brian Morden?

We didn’t do anything for you for Valentine’s Day – but Bungie did. Frankie put together a huge list of Halo lovin’… go read, and find a site or three you’ve never seen (but should have!). He even gives props to Stuntmutt (though I’m surprised the list of qualifiers on the compliment didn’t come with…

BitMaP noticed a new flash vid by Wasamonster over at Newgrounds – It’s Rated Mature: Halo. Spelling is atrocious, but there are some funny bits. Check it out!

Stuntmutt sends you his best wishes in a special holiday One One Se7en.

Stephen Loftus posted a note on our forum about a new styrene model he’s working on – this one is In Amber Clad, and it’ll be to the same scale as his Pillar of Autumn model. We’ve put up a local copy in his Collected Works section – check it out!

Over at MLGPro.com, the Player of the Week is StrongSide (nice read), and foulgasm is doing some interesting stats stuff on his blog (which got him marked as blog of the week). Thanks, 3Suns.

Awesome new artwork from Bryn Casey – Support and Hunter. When was the last time you saw a Hunter in such gentle color tones? (He STILL looks mean.) Check ’em out!

You may remember Heretics & Heroes, a series that posted a trailer and a character intro recently; well, they’ve got Episode 1, “Operation: Frozen Spleen”, online now. Filmed in the original Halo engine (this episode takes place before the issuance of Mark VI armor), Ep 1 will introduce you to Lt. Feldman, and the rather…

Yesterday, SNOWBLIND1717 submitted ‘It Doesn’t Remind Me’, a Halo music video set to Audioslave’s song of the same name, to the MPRRS; they liked it. Syncing’s not perfect – but it’s quite good, and his choices for action are inspired. (The onscreen activity matches the song really well.) Go watch! WMP9 version is 22.3 mb,…

Today’s One One Se7en looks at the news of more Halo novels… through a prism. Shattered when the drunk carrying it dropped it. And all the pieces scattered when he fell on them.

Wow. A note came in last week, I spaced on posting it, the submitter was kind enough to send it again (politely), I spaced AGAIN. Someone needs to hire a real news guy for this place… the one we’ve got ain’t cutting it. ANYWAY, the note was from Andrew Matlock, who is a member of…

Saturday morning, Tempus Fugit pointed out a news item at Ain’t It Cool News, in which Mike Mignola (the artist behind the Hellboy comics) suggested that Guillermo Del Toro was never really considering the Halo movie project, and that Hellboy 2 was next on his plate after all. This is not confirmation that Del Toro…

The series of auctions we mentioned for the huge Halo 2 sign that hung in Kings Cross in Sydney, Australia for several months last year kicked off last night – there’s an article about it on Bungie.net’s front page (and, unsurprisingly, a ‘First’ note by Frankie on our forum). The first piece is a chunk…

Wow. We fixed the MPRRS upload problem, and in short order 6 movies entered the system. The first one in was the first one out – successfully. jamie98s (previously known primarily for his ‘Oh So Beautiful’ series) created ‘Chaos on the Creek’, a story of two factions that decide they can’t live together. Cinematography is…

A few days ago, the MPRRS began to have some trouble; folks were having difficulty uploading files. Turns out… our temporary upload directory was full of failed uploads; we’d run out of space. (My bad, for not clearing it on a regular basis. STANDARD files were cleared – but corrupted ones weren’t.) The easiest solution…

Geary noticed a new MasterChief-related episode of PHW Weekday strip (we mentioned an older ep, at a different URL, back in December) – semi-odd stuff. (It’s predominately a Half-Life 2 comic, but the Master Chief is a regular character.)

What a weekend. There’s Halo news in them thar hills… but I haven’t found time to tell you about it. Let’s start with a new video from The PromethianGuard, sister clan to the PraetoriaGuard – they’ve released their first episode, downloadable from their forum. (There’s also a PSP-friendly version, here.) It’s a variety pack, a…

We got word from ThatWeasel’s girlfriend that ThatWeasel, a staple in the Halo community for several years, passed away on February 7. We don’t really have any information on what happened (and his girlfriend is a little too broken up to go into it)… but it was clearly sudden, and unexpected. It’s always hard when…
