MC - again
The Master Chief action figure is once again available for preorder at the Bungie Store - if you can't find one locally, go reserve one from Bungie! Thanks to SketchFactor for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:17:58 UTC) (permalink)
More Halo PC screens at GameKult
GameKult has put up twenty screenshots of Halo (though the last 7 are just re-released pics from the Gearbox and Microsoft sites). These are all from Beta 1.5, though this time there are some multiplayer shots. Thanks to Xavier De Coster for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 18:58:26 UTC) (permalink)
MLG tourney in NYC
Halo on this side of the pond: Major League Gaming is hosting a tournament next month in New York City (October 25th and 26th). Entrance fee is $50 (this gets you in to both the Halo and Madden events, if you want), guaranteed minimum of $10,000 in prizes. What are you waiting for? Register today. (Future events will take place all over the country - check this list for a big city in your area.) (Louis Wu 18:39:14 UTC) (permalink)
Solicitation of Questions: Halo PC Development
SketchFactor is putting together a nice big 'update' on Halo PC as development draws to a close. He's going to interview Michel Bastien, Bungie's Halo PC Producer (not to be confused with Marc Tardif, Gearbox's Halo PC Producer)... and he's asking for questions. Burning for an answer about the development process? Jump into this forum thread, add a question - he'll pick the best and include them in the interview! You've got until tomorrow morning.

AV looks at Halo PC
Adrenaline Vault has an interview with Randy Pitchford up; it's focused on team play, requirements, and new features of Halo PC. 21 screenshots (all single player, from Beta 1.5). Thanks to Madscientist for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 17:48:56 UTC) (permalink)
Norwegian Halo Championship
K-Man points out a site allowing signups for a 2v2 double elimination tournament in Oslo, Norway, on October 18th. Entrance is free. Signups have to happen before October 1. If you're in or near Oslo (or plan to be on October 18)... check it out! (Louis Wu 16:22:38 UTC) (permalink)
Mood music to kill jackals by
A few days ago, surrept submitted an early version of a remake of 'A Walk in the Woods'. He's now finished it. 4:18, 3.9 mb, mp3 format; I love it. Give it a listen! (Comments can be added to this forum thread.) (Louis Wu 15:59:41 UTC) (permalink)
Huge Halo 2 tourney in the works
Wow, THIS is confidence. SaNd TrOoPeR, of ThinkGeekness.com, stopped by our forum last night to announce a Halo 2 tournament scheduled for next summer. Top prize is planned at $25,000, and they're hoping for 1500-2000 players. Wonga. Check their Halo 2 Championship page for details. (Louis Wu 15:44:25 UTC) (permalink)
The man's insane. Yes, insane.
Whoa. BOLL has put a minimalist (but quite functional) face on his rather enormous collection of Halo material; some of this stuff is housed here at HBO, some of it is not. (I'm going to have to go through and figure out what we've got and what we don't and yank the good stuff; that's gonna take a LOONNG time.) While you're waiting for us to do that, though, feel free to browse on your own. There's tons of fun stuff to uncover. Comments can be added to this forum thread. (Louis Wu 13:31:28 UTC) (permalink)
He's Here All Week.
Does the MC have a shot at a second career, if this killing Covenant thing doesn't work out? Maybe... but today's One One Se7en points out that it's probably not gonna be comedy. (Louis Wu 12:55:38 UTC) (permalink)
Is it Memorex?
Doggone has put the MC action figure... into the action. Check out this forum post with a couple of screenshots, modified. (We've got a few other 'things people do with action figures' in the queue - I wonder if we have to set up a new section?) (Louis Wu 12:37:40 UTC) (permalink)
Animate... THIS.
Wanna be a game animator? John Butkus, aka anim8rJB, has written a nice little article on what will help... and what will not. Check it out on Bungie.net. (Louis Wu 02:58:19 UTC) (permalink)
GT Halo
(GT)Juggler has posted a 3:49, 18 mb movie (QT format, hosting by Blackstar Productions) which you can find linked on his Halo Page. Combination of multiplayer hijinx and single play tricks; most have been done before, but they've been put together pretty nicely. Check it out! (Comments can go in this forum thread.)
