  • RT: Happy New Year

    2006 was so much fun, we couldn’t let it die without posting at least one more video. So, the RvB Holiday 2006 video is now online for Sponsors. If our “Lo” and “Hi” resolution videos just aren’t enough variety for you, we suggest you…

  • RT: New Years Resolutions

    Today’s comic is all about those wonderful chances we have at the beginning of each year to put the sins of previous years behind, turn over a new leaf, and better ourselves. Have you guys thought of a New Years Resolution yet? Mine will be not to gloat…

  • Itwasluck’s 6th Montage

    by

    in
    Speaking of the pro Halo world, there’s a new montage out from XiT WouNDz player Itwasluck, available over at Halo3Forum.com – I’ve said before that I’m getting burned out on montages, but when they’re this well edited, and contain this level of gameplay… well, they’re worth watching. Fantastic job. You can see why his team is a Top 8 unit. 140 mb, WMP9 format.(Louis Wu 12:28:46 UTC)

  • Making it big in the videogame world

    by

    in
    The London (Ontario) Free Press has an article about guys trying to break into the pro Halo ranks – always nice to see stuff like this in mainstream press!(Louis Wu 12:22:26 UTC)

  • Lego Elite

    in
    Mandalore wrote to point out his Lego Elite (and a set of revised pics, as well) – pretty nice looking!(Louis Wu 12:21:49 UTC)

  • Halomega updates

    by

    in
    We got email from a couple of different members of Halomega, pointing out the new stuff they’ve posted this week; they’ve got 1v1 montages here, here, and here, and details about their 4v4 league here. (There’s certainly more – visit their News forum to dig through for your own goodies.)(Louis Wu 12:11:24 UTC)

  • Halo Nerds 4

    in
    spartanerik noticed a new Flash animation at Newgrounds – it never got finished, and it takes a few shots at various nationalities, but there you go.(Louis Wu 12:06:01 UTC)

  • A Cardboard Master Chief Suit

    by

    in
    GFC Danny has started on a cardboard Master Chief outfit – he’s got a couple of photos of the helmet so far.(Louis Wu 12:05:43 UTC)

  • Halo Live Wire digs into Iraqi footage

    by

    in
    Halo Live Wire has put up an analysis of the few tidbits of Halo 3 visible in the cam-collected stuff from Iraq this weekend; there’s not much to work with, but trust Bungie fans to pore over every frame! Thanks, Arc Blu.(Louis Wu 12:05:11 UTC)

  • Halo Costume 2005

    by

    in
    Delta and a buddy created a Master Chief suit a while back – but never got around to showing it off. You can find a picture in his forum post.(Louis Wu 11:06:01 UTC)

  • Halo Fever Kicks Off

    by

    in
    Mister Froggy has started up a new action-figure-based comic – Halo Fever – but needs feedback if he’s going to make more. Check out the first one, and let him know what you think.(Louis Wu 10:51:59 UTC)

  • GameDaily’s Halo 3 Summary

    by

    in
    Thien noticed a GameDaily vid about Halo 3 while browsing YouTube – but if you want, you can view it at GameDaily, as well. They basically attempt to guess when Halo 3 is going to be released, using information we already have.(Louis Wu 10:38:42 UTC)

  • Fighting the Evil Anime Empire

    by

    in
    The Uncyclopedia page about Halo has been around for a while – but it’s gotten a bunch of updates recently, and it’s more surreal than ever now. Thanks to Ross Mills for reminding us to revisit.(Louis Wu 10:32:21 UTC)

  • …And a banshee stuck in a tree.

    by

    in
    Rookie Rabbit sent us a belated Christmas video that we’ve made even MORE belated by not posting for two days – but you can go watch it now at YouTube.(Louis Wu 10:27:07 UTC)

  • Nyclan gets a writeup

    by

    in
    Been a bit lax on newsposting in the last few days – apologies. Will clear some of that up today. Dzejms noticed a Cnet story a couple of days ago devoted to Nyclan, a videogame center in Manhattan – a place you can play a lot of Halo. Check it out – especially if you’re close enough to USE it.(Louis Wu 10:24:07 UTC)

  • Welcome to the new THX.com

    You are viewing the latest version of “HUSHEDCASKET.COM”. There’s a lot to say about the site so let me get started.

    First off, I have released the site today on 1/1/7 for you to start using so that you can begin providing feedback, recommending suggestions, and filing bug reports. With your normal use, you’ll eventually help evolve the website into a highly functional and useful tool for us. This site will evolve sightly over the next few months. New features will be added as you suggest them. Of course, not all features will be added, but feel free to ask away. You are going to find bugs with the site. File a bug report and we’ll squash it.

    Secondly, the look of the site. The theme is obviously based on the HALO universe. The look and feel will change slightly. The shoutbox will get “themed”. The stories on the front page will get slightly tweaked. But, if you want something changed, then make a suggestion on the THX.com project page (more on that later).

    Next, there will probably be some permissions problems. You won’t be able to access some things. You might even get access to areas you’re not supposed to see (yikes). Be the man and report that stuff as you find it.

    Avatars? They’re not imported. Sorry. You’ll have to find a new avatar for now. Maybe in the future I’ll come up with a way to get your old avatar back. But for now, just upload a new avatar to your profile.

    BTW, I think it would be cool if we could all upload an avatar of ourselves…our mug shot. If you want help in making a cool mug shot, let me know and I’ll help add some effect to a picture of your choice.

    Speaking of profiles. Profiles are going to be really cool on the new website. They aren’t ready just yet, but in the near future you’ll be able to input all kinds of extra information about yourself. Information like:

    * your XBOX Live gamertag
    * your online screen names to various websites (digg.com, flickr.com, 1up.com, redvsblue.com, Bungie.net, MySpace.com, facebook.com, etc.)
    * images of yourself
    * MySpace and Facebook like background information
    * and so on

    Stay tuned for that, because I think it will be really cool. We’ll all be able to easily see each other’s XBOX Live gamertag, a link to everyone’s MySpace profiles, and so on.

    Competitive match results. In the near future, I’m going to list [THX] match results in a sortable and easy to read format. This means we’ll easily be able to keep up with TWL and MLG match results, see the scores, and who played. They’ll also be a section for screenshots.

    Finally all bug reports and feature requests should be sent to here:

    http://hushedcasket.com/project/website4_0/

    Use that page to submit all non-critical issues. Some of you have already used the “Contact” form linked to at the top of the page to contact me about issues. You recognized that those were critical issues and sent me an email. That was the thing to do. You guys are always welcome to send non private bug reports to me via the contact form.

    Looks like we might take the day off here, but Stuntmutt never rests. It’s Monday, so there’s a new One One Se7en for you. (You might, of course, find that last night’s partying, coupled with the joke in this strip, will send you into paroxysms of cramping… it’s up to you whether you actually read it.)(Louis Wu 17:57:33 UTC)
