Eight new stories in the Fan Fiction section today – go read!

The JumpTactics guys have affiliated with Halo2forum.com for hosting – you can grab their latest piece from there now (WMP9 format, 91 mb). JumpTactics Mix 1 contains the work of a large number of jumpers, familiar names, and not so familiar. Some of the jumps are simply astounding – all the way across Lockout, or…

This seems to be a movie day – I guess you should settle in for some real watching. Next up is a movie that was announced at High Impact Halo a week ago; some folks loved it, some didn’t. ‘Rise of the Elites Episode 2’ was submitted to the MPRRS, and failed – by the…

AnubisUK sends word that The Squadron, Episode 11 has been posted on their website. Because of bandwidth issues, they’re looking for a new home – and for that reason aren’t interested in hosting QuickTime versions until after the move, it seems, so you can grab the QT from us (27.8 mb). (WMP9 is available from…

Yesterday, while I was stuffing myself past all rationality, Ducain sent me a link to this newspost at High Impact Halo – SneakyPete has recreated a classic Halo trick… with s7yle. 3 Warthogs, a Banshee, and the Master Chief on top of the lightbridge tower… in single player. To keep you from having to deal…

Yesterday’s User Friendly webcomic was vaguely Halo-related – if you don’t read the strip, go back a few for this to make more sense. Thanks, SteelGaribaldi.

This submission (47K) blew me away – this plasma sword letter opener was made by Paul S., by hand. His words:Made by hand from 2mm anodised aluminium, about 150mm long and partly polished for a two-tone look. The handle design was modified for two-finger use (held between finger & thumb) and the inner edges of…

Remember when I said that yesterday, I cleaned out the uploads folder after a two-month neglect period? I wanted to remind people what NOT to use that folder for. There were 267 items in there when I started downloading. There were the few dozen misc art pieces I posted yesterday, plus another dozen or so…

Another Halo tourney to be played out on a movie screen is happening in Ohio this Saturday – XKade will host a Halo 2 tourney at the Tiffin Mall in Tiffin, OH. $50 per person, prizes to be announced. More info is in the link.

Happy Thanksgiving! We may have some trouble here – we normally cook our turkey outside, on the grill, and it’s… um, rather white right now – but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. In the meantime, there’s a bit of Halo news. MLGPro.com has posted a primer for Halo50k4, their huge Atlanta…

Once again, I’ve let an absurdly long period of time go by without cleaning out our uploads queue. There will likely be more content later today or later this week – but for now, we’ve got several dozen images for you in the Miscellaneous Art section. Paul Davies continues to astound me, but there are…

A large percentage of the gaming news in the last couple of days has been about the Xbox360 (we’re staying relatively quiet on the general bits, because they’re not really Halo-related)… the part that IS Halo-related is the backwards-compatibility thing. Stuntmutt takes a look in today’s One One Se7en.

The MPRRS reviewers have been pretty harsh of late – so when they let a movie through, it’s probably worth watching. First one through in a while is ‘BoB Zero: Genesis’, the prequel to a popular French machinima series (you can find more of their work on the TGO Team website). Filmed in Halo (as…

Very cool – Stubbs the Zombie has been released for Mac OSX! Thanks, spartan erik.

Just six new pieces in the Fan Fiction section this morning… you can easily catch up.

TheGhost has put together a collection of tutorial resource links for HaloCE – amazing organization. This can help you find exactly the tools you were looking for. Check it out! Update (16 April 2006): Ghost has moved this to a permanent home at Halomaps.

There’s a story over at IGN about cross-compatibility between the Xbox360 and the original Xbox when playing Halo 2. Their verdict: the 360 plays Halo 2 beautifully, but there might be some joining glitches when playing games involving both boxes. Read the whole article for details. (And remember, this is a single data point; others…

Frankie wrote up his experiences at the Xbox360 Launch Event in the Mojave desert. Nice pics, funny stuff (I wish I could meet the guy who’s got his Cliffy B autograph), a little bit of Halo content to keep it all on-topic. Go read! (Yeah, he gets credit for the heads-up, too… good thing he…

Rooster Teeth have posted a new Red vs Blue video, ‘Zero O’Clock’, for sponsors. At the moment, only the WMP9 version is up – but I assume the QuickTime and DivX versions are coming soon. (I’m also assuming it’ll show up for everyone else in the not-too-distant future.) Griff does his best to get to…

Whoa – it’s less than 8 hours from tomorrow, UTC, on a weekday, and there’s no news on HBO? Call the fire department – HBO HQ must have burned down. (Actually, not really – but I have been kicked out of my place of work by a horde of carpet-laying gnomes, forcing me to alternative…
