Interesting. X1Zero noticed another Halo costume on eBay – but the opening bid seems awfully high to me, given the quality…

Actually, it could be *any* day next week in San Francisco… I’ll be in the area attending MacWorld expo. I’m renting a car and crashing at the home of a friend. But I’m also going to have my swanky projector with me, as well as Halo 1 and 2 discs, and my trusty controller and…

Dyslexia has written up Part II of his Battle of the Masses piece on MLG Chicago over at mlgpro.com. This portion focuses on the 4v4 teamplay, instead of the FFA stuff. The writeup (once again) is a great read, and really puts you there – or as close to there as you can get at…

PEZ points out some new features at halowiki.net – the Gamesaver can save stats from given games as wiki pages (useful to save that one-in-a-million game even when Bungie purges it from their servers), and you can now access recent games with a direct link (just add a slash and your gamertag to the end…

Z sends word of Halzred’s 5th Montage Trailer over at halo2forum.com; if you’re a fan of heavy editing (‘heavy’ = ‘you can’t really tell what’s going on, the cuts are so fast and furious, and the effects are so thick’), go grab this one. 40 mb, just under 2 minutes.

Mintz points out that there’s quite a bit of new content over at Halo: Portable – new articles, new movies, if you’ve got a PSP, go download!

twooranges found a Fullsize resin cast model of the M6D pistol on eBay last night – it sold via Buy it Now less than an hour after that initial post, but the pictures will be up for another couple of weeks. Gorgeous piece of work! Worth $180? Yep, clearly, to the buyer! (The forum thread…

Pinkuh posted a note on our forum with an update of a picture she’d started about a month ago. The final work is gorgeous (we’ve added it to her gallery here) – but there are also a few progress shots, showing how she got from the sketch to the final product. (Those are in the…

Frankie’s WWU is now up for public consumption. Short and sweet as he says, but it does contain some very nice nuggets of info. The office gets their hands on DOA4, Max talks about the often forgotten handicap setting which helps even players out, and we get a near-final track list of Volume 2 of…

You might remember a guy named Mike Hill – he’s done a couple of sketches of Halo subjects. (Yeah, and Reinhold Meissner has climbed a couple of hills.) There was his MC with a Warthog, and Sniper Waiting… well, now there’s a new pic called ‘nightstalker’ (900×1442, 544k); it was created for the Bungie art…

Well, it’s been a little while since I’ve seen a Game With Fame on Xbox Live… but it looks like there’s one coming up in a couple of weeks. According to TeamXbox, you can sign up for a chance to play against INXS on Tuesday, January 17. Nice!

Today’s One One Se7en reminds people that behind many successful ventures are older iterations of those ventures.

Eep – forgot to post this yesterday – thanks to Capt 0bvious for reminding me. Geary noticed a new trailer at GameTrailers.com, showing off Nicole beating up on some of the other characters in DOA4. It’s nice, hi-res footage; not nearly as artistic as Dan Chosich’s vid, but high-quality, and fun to watch. (Love the…

The cutest little guy arrived in the mail yesterday (closeup | for scale)… Halo fans rock. To AngelicLionheart and crew… thanks. When I get sad or stressed, I’ll put this guy on my shoulder, and let him suck out my brains.

This week’s Fan Fiction pull is 18 pieces – and people are clearly reading the directions, because I didn’t have to delete a single one! Go catch up on your reading.

Today’s Halo Babies comic is a bitter look at the cheating scene on Xbox Live… methinks Gruntsbane’s been hit once too many times.

Last night, Sniper2477’s Mission Impossible 3 Trailer passed the MPRRS – so you can grab it in WMP9 format (28.1 mb) or QuickTime format (20.6 mb) from us. It’s an attempt to remake the Mission: Impossible trailer, down to camera angles and shots. (It actually helps if you watch the original trailer – it’s available…

Silver Stars/Purple Hearts pre-Episode 0.3 is now up for download at 7Pandas.com. You can find a variety of versions on their Downloads page – and we’re mirroring the hi-res WMP9 version, and offering a hi-res QuickTime as well. This particular pre-episode has no Halo content in it (it’s all Sims2 this time around) – but…

w00t – Mothergoat has released the WASP, a very cool flying vehicle for use in HaloCE maps. (If you’ve never seen it, visit this forum post, and download the movie therein – you’ll see it in action. For HaloCE Mapmakers, you can now include this vehicle in your own maps… for players, you just have…

Swing over to Wired.com – they’ve got a preview up of an article that’ll come out in February’s issue. It’s about The Dream Factory, a Lego custom kit builder – and one of the kits on display was designed by Bungie’s Rob’t McLees – it’s a Warthog! Now we just need the Feb issue…
