Even Banners.
And finally, a fan-produced banner. That should clear out the images queue. If you submitted a piece of artwork and we haven't posted it or contacted you, please send an email naming the piece (do not resend it unless we ask you to!), and we'll see what we can do.

Logos, too
We also received a couple of logos a little while back; they're on our Logos page. (Louis Wu 11:02:38 UTC) (permalink)
More pretty pictures
Non-desktop artwork - we've got three for you. A cool collaboration between Postman and Dogsounds (posted on our forum a while ago, but only approved by both recently), another bizarre comic from Hack Trio (this is the last one we'll post in Misc Art - any more submissions will have to wait for the opening of the HBO Comics section), and a pretty cool chip BOLL yanked from my neck. You'll find all three in the Miscellaneous Art archives. (Louis Wu 10:49:55 UTC) (permalink)
Wallpaper
It's been a little while since we cleared the images queues... first up, desktop images. After tossing out the non-attributed ones (how hard is it to upload a text file telling us you created a picture, folks?), we've got 6 images for you, from three different artists. Check 'em all out in the Wallpaper section. Update: oops, missed one; from the filename, I thought it was a logo submission. Check out Mister E's Halo logo background, too. Update 2: We've pulled one of these entries because it included copyrighted work. (Louis Wu 10:34:08 UTC) (permalink)
Whoa - ten levels?
Got a TI 83 (or better) calculator? Then check out this game in the TI games archives - hehbo2k3, who pointed it out on our forum, says it's a pretty fun game. (Unfortunately, it won't run on my trusty HP 28S, so I can't tell you what it looks like.) Update: Griffon points out a couple of screenshots; one from the original version, one from the new. Check 'em out. (Scroll down to 'First Halo83.5 Screens!') (Louis Wu 09:09:46 UTC) (permalink)
Pfhorum Pfhancy? Pfhhht.
Once again, Opie301 gently reminds us that he's better at keeping track of when the Halo Story Page is updated than I am. (As a matter of fact, mnemesis told me that this would be going up - but he didn't tell me when it was UP, so my bad for not checking.) It's just a mini-update, compared to the monsters mnemesis and Finn have been putting up recently... a summary of the best speculation that's shown up recently on the forum. Still, worth a look, especially if you don't have time to read every post on the forum, looking for Story nuggets. (Louis Wu 09:03:39 UTC) (permalink)
Look at that armor.
Konrad9 found a 'new' screenshot at Gamespot. (It's not really new; it was seen in print before, in an OXM article (that for some reason isn't scanned here) - but it's never been seen online, in this resolution.) Very nice bumpmapping! We've added it to our Screenshots Database. (Louis Wu 08:57:12 UTC) (permalink)
I've seen that dude before...
...but it wasn't in Halo. Skeletor isolated a marine underground in 343 GS - and he doesn't look like any other Halo marines I know about. (Well, that's not totally true - I think it's the guy on the left in this pic - but I can't say as I've ever seen him myself in the game...) A year and a half later, and still the weirdness...

Halo: First Strike surfaces
Eric Rickards made a pretty intriguing discovery; on Del Rey's website, you can find preliminary information about a third Halo novel, entitled 'Halo: First Strike'. The author is (once again) Eric Nylund... and the release date is scheduled for December 2003. Could this be (as Eric postulates) a Fall of Reach prequel... or will it tell the story of what happened between Halo and Halo 2? More info as soon as we get it... (Feel free to speculate in this forum thread.) (Louis Wu 00:41:53 UTC) (permalink)
