The Marathon’s Story page takes two of Bungie’s Halo web buttons sticks them together and gets… Well you better find out for yourself. Bungie’s attention to detail or just a warped mind?

We are attempting to trace the interloper who hacked yesterday’s SETI stats page. Hopefully today’s SETI stats will be more secure. Halo marines are on full alert!

Magh Tuireadh told us that he didn’t have the space to put up the medium size of his Halo Re-Mix, so we’ve decided to help him out. If you want something better than the 10 meg version, but can’t handle the 48 meg version… give the 20 meg version a try. (It’s exactly the same movie as the big one, but smaller, so don’t bother just for completeness.) Hope this helps someone!

Rick Matheson writes to say that The Order of the Sword has accepted its first recruits, and is now practicing with Unreal Tournament and Team Fortress. More info can be found at the site.

The Marathon’s Story page has some speculation that Steve Jackson Games might be working on a GURPS Halo project. Interesting! Pax.

The Halo SETI Marines keep crunching… see who’s keeping up in the 24 hour stats!

Just a quick update… Fan Fiction page augmented again. Enjoy!

From our Forum: There’s a new clan, The Mac Squad, now looking for members. Take a look! Pax.

Nice new Desktop from Phillip Albanese, in three sizes. Check it out on our Wallpaper page! Thanks, Phillip!

luxor, from Halo Vault, sends word that the Halo footage from bTV Days 3 and 4 have another home. As he says, Halo Vault “has pipes the size of watermains”… make use of ’em! 😉

Magh Tuireadh posts another Halo Re-Mix… very different from the Tritin FIlms one (this one is set to Moby’s Bodyrock, and features Cortana text and strange Halo visuals), but quite good. Get the big one, if you can handle the 48 meg download. (The midsized one doesn’t have a home yet.)

Thanks to Nalgas D. Lemur, who’s added another mirror for the day 3 and day 4 Halo footage off of bTV. Anyone who hasn’t seen it… here’s another source!

Halo SETI team 24 hour stats posted. When the Covenant are contacted will you be ready?

New Official Release Dates? Kudos to Georg for the following heads-up from Take 2 Interactive in Europe:

If you go to http://www.macnews.de/_macgames/ you’ll read at “Dienstag, den 25. Januar 2000 – 20.44 Uhr” this:

Neue Erscheinungstermine
Take 2 Interactive, Distributor für Bungie’s Halo und Oni hat die Erscheinungstermine beider Spiele “korrigiert”. Demnach soll Oni im Juni kommen und Halo erst im September. Wir rechnen allerdings erst im Dezember, also zur Weihnachtszeit mit Halo.

it says

New Release Dates
Take 2 Interactive, Distributor for Bungie’s Halo und Oni has “corrected” the release dates of both games. According to them Oni will be out in June and Halo in September. But we are personally expecting Halo to be out in December.

Halo Movie Special Edition! Kudos to Courtney Evans (aka lustygoat) for pointing out that Tritin Films have added over 200 sound effects to the current Halo trailer for the ultimate Halo experience. Download their Halo Remake movie (30MBs).

Ben Kamprath has sent in another sketch… you’ll find it on the Miscellaneous Art page (Original, Page 9). Gettin’ crowded in there…

Oops. We set up an upload ftp site, then forget to look at it! Piper uploaded a new logo for our Logos page last Friday, but we forgot to check. Thanks, Piper!

Dang, and I bought a PS2, just for this! The Core reports that Matt Soell has torpedoed GameSpot’s claim that the Playstation 2 port of Halo is a done deal. Go read about it! Pax.

Myndreach has updated his personal data diary again… check our Fan Fiction page. Thanks, Myndreach!

Peter Ellis (aka warpig) sends us another marine sketch… page 9 of original art in the Miscellaneous Art section. Thanks, Peter!
