Pillar of Art - It's Almost Time...
For those who don't remember, we announced a major bungie.org contest, the Pillar of Art, a few months ago. We wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that the deadline for submissions is now less than three weeks away; we need to RECEIVE your submission by May 16, 2003. (If you mail it on the 15th, the likelihood of our receiving it before the deadline is... well, not very good.) There's an added bonus to mailing your entry now, though: any work that we get our hands on by May 9th, 2003, we'll consider hauling with us to Los Angeles, where it will be on display during the Bungie Fanfest. (This will not in any way affect your chances in the contest itself; if it goes, you don't get special consideration, and if it doesn't, you don't get penalized... it's just a chance to show your work off to more Halo fanatics, and to Bungie themselves. Also, we're not promising to carry everything we get early; remember, we're headed out to LA on airplanes.) To date, we've received just a few entries, but an enormous amount of interest - make sure that your entry doesn't miss the deadline! (Cash and glory, people... cash and glory.)

Chupa-thingy at E3.
E3 is just 2 weeks away and as it gets closer so does the Bungie Fanfest. As is the tradition from previous fanfests, there are going to be exclusives that only folks that attend the event will get to experience. Hey, Bungie has to reward those of you that are traveling far (some from Italy!) just to sniff Chucky's sleeve.
SketchFactor has already announced that a surprise mystery guest will attend. Who do you think it is? Speculation is running rampant. heh :)
But on to today's new announcement: It is Bungie's great honor to welcome the guys behind the RedvsBlue videos. Not only will they be around to sign your girlfriend's breast, but DVD-quality versions of their videos will be playing on the big screen! And here's the kicker: They are working on a special video just for the fanfest. The premise for this "Special E3 Video" is so funny that even the folks at Bungie can't wait to see it!
This is truly shaping up to be the Fanfest to beat all Fanfests. How will Bungie top it next year? One can only wonder, but I'm bringing my galoshes.

Stuntmutt has begun work on a new comic strip - one that we're hosting here. It's called One One Se7en, and it stars your very own Master Chief, in all his MS Paint glory. We'll be releasing new comics every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, unless something comes up. To start with, go check out 'Mission Um... Possible'. (Louis Wu 13:27:50 UTC) (permalink)
Halo50K pics - from the Halo50K team
Well, they might be a little hard to see... but Dolbex has put up a couple of hundred pictures from the Halo50K event. Unfortunately, the server is somewhat overloaded, so you might run into trouble seeing some of the thumbnails, or loading some pages. Be patient, though - there's some fun stuff in there!

Speculation runs rampant - even among the old
Good lord - as if you didn't have ENOUGH to read... mnemesis, afraid that his job was being usurped by the young upstart Finn, went on an all-night rummaging binge and pulled out ANOTHER dozen-and-a-half morsels from the enormous Story Page email archive to mull over. Mosey on over to the Halo Story Page news section and nibble 'til you're full! (Louis Wu 12:57:06 UTC) (permalink)
Inner Circle Halo: Carnage for BF1942
Another Battlefield 1942 mod team throws its hat in the Halo ring. Inner Circle Halo is working on a conversion for BF1942 to bring Halo weapons and vehicles into a multiplayer environment that supports up to 64 players. Check out their website for some early renders... and if you're interested in helping out, they're looking for you; stop by and let 'em know! (Louis Wu 01:42:03 UTC) (permalink)
