fate187 sent us a bunch of webcam pics from yesterday. Is this Bernie playing Halo on a PC? See here, here and here.

“He fired in short bursts, seeking out the heads of the taller elite…” Vector40 sends us Part II of his Halo Story. Part I is on our Fan Fiction page.

Dorram sent us in this Bungie webcam pic from yesterday. If you’ve been following some of the discussion on our forum you’ll know what it’s all about. Just what is on that screen? Bungie’s webcam page can be found here. Pax.

Noah Brimhall informs us that the the XBox feature in the May 2001 issue of Wired Magazine is mostly just a review of the hardware with one really cool picture of the guts of the machine. Other than that there are only a few mentions of Microsoft’s console strategy, but no mention of Halo. Thanks Noah. Pax.

Kamikaze informs us that the May 2001 issue of Wired Magazine has an Xbox feature. Not sure if there is any Halo info but it might be worth checking out.

Two more pieces of Wallpaper from Diogo “Razorback” Barbosa. A black & white sketch called War is Hell and a splash of Tecnicolor. Use our Wallpaper search engine to find all Diogo’s work.

“Acid!” was Crux’s only comment to Dinosurfer’s latest piece of Halo inspired Wallpaper. Is this the way the Covenant see us or did the marine just drop a tab? Check it out!

Thanks to Dorkonaspork for sending in a whole bunch of scans of the Halo preview in the latest Next Generation magazine. Unfortunately we can’t upload these until the mag comes off the store shelves. You can see small sized pics of the full article over at Bungie Sightings. Please buy the magazine if you want to see the full article or wait a few weeks and we’ll have it up. Pax.

OliverHeilwagen sends us in a very nice piece of Wallpaper. It’s 1024×768 in size. There are now 153 items in our Wallpaper section and it’s growing daily.

Thanks to Ilium Rise who points out on our forum that Blue’s News gets a touch of Halo. Their main logo has been featuring a different game each day and presently it has the jeep from Halo. Pax.

Update: Frans P. de Vries of Blue’s News informs us that their logo changes once a week, not once a day. Thanks Frans.

Added Dinosurfer’s new Halowarriors pic to our Wallpaper section. Got Wallpaper?

“They had nine clips of the 12mm RunHard penetrators, only seven of them full.” New fan fiction from Vector40 on our Fan Fiction page.

Ok we’ve got a few more Wallpapers in our Uploads area. We’ll get them up later today but if you want to see them now why not take a look.

Dinosurfer informs us that he has uploaded a 1024×768 Wallpaper named halowarriors.jpg to our Uploads area. We’ll be adding this to our Wallpapers section just as soon as we get Crux off the dial-up.

First Polish HALO Site. Oliwier Ptak sends word about Fpp.pl, one of the biggest online gaming networks in Poland dedicated to First Person Perspective games. They now have a Halo site at http://halof.fpp.pl. Check it out.

Family obligations take me out of town this week – I’ll be heading to one of those parts of the US where the nearest dialup internet access is a long-distance call. (Betcha didn’t know those places still existed, eh?) Looks like Wirehead’s already on the ball, posting wallpaper this morning, and hopefully, Ding and Crux will stop in every once in a while, too… but be aware that mail won’t get answered very much (if at all) this week – it’ll be read, but if you’re looking for a response, it’s gonna wait until the 30th or so. Have a great week! (Crux – put down the beads, pick up the keyboard. Now.)

Thanks to Diogo “Razorback” Barbosa for sending us in another of his outstanding Wallpapers. This is the eleventh piece from Diogo. Use our Wallpaper search engine to find them all.

Okay, so it’s not Matt… but Marty O’Donnell is part of the Halo team, as well, and he’s kindly offered his own Halo Update in lieu of Matt’s, who had to go to Chicago for a wedding or something. (Now we REALLY know who’s devoted to Halo, and who just SAYS they are…) Oh, and you might want to check the Halo Update Database as well.

Though Matt has already posted that there will be no Halo Update this week… you might want to check back in a bit anyway. You never know, sometimes odd things happen.

Speaking of new uploads, we received ANOTHER anonymous upload, this time of a modified screenshot – you’ll find it in our Miscellaneous Art section. Someone should claim this, as well.
