Please Stand By...
HaloBabies is offline for a bit, while they work on bringing the new site online. The good news is, when they DO come back, there'll be (in the words of Mr Smiley) "a massive amount of new content, which will hopefully make up for our downtime. That, and a brand spankin' new site will be staring everyone in the face! =)" Oooohh... (Some people also call this Halo Babies , now it will show up for both search terms.)

Like Bloodwake, except good.
Wraith has been playing with a 3d modeler, and has come up with the beginnings of a Covenant Assault Boat. Interesting critiques in the thread, as well - good stuff all around! (Louis Wu 19:02:58 UTC) (permalink)
Calvin would be proud.
Hehe - Mad Cow (and cohorts) created a huge 7th Column Snowman recently - check out the pics on our forum! (Louis Wu 18:23:40 UTC) (permalink)
Cortana Gets Shirty(2)
Today's Guest One One Se7en comes from -Mopey-... I was waiting for this one. (Louis Wu 11:53:59 UTC) (permalink)
Preemptive strike
Today's Calvin and Halo is by Blackstar. Captain Spark came up with a pretty similar one... but this was already in the queue. (Besides, they're not taking Guest strips.) It made me laugh. (Louis Wu 11:46:21 UTC) (permalink)
Stories
Six pieces for you today in the Fan Fiction section:
- HALO: Dark Aftermath, by Nick Kang
- Widowmaker: The Defence of Earth Part One, by LordofDestruction
- My poem before I die, by David Li
- A Series of Wierd Events - Sequel, Part Nine[H_K], by Hunter_Killer
- A Series of Wierd Events - Sequel, Part Ten[H_K], by Hunter_Killer
- In Chaos and Despair: The Enemy Within, by Maraxus6
I know I've said this before, but I guess I gotta say it again: this is a Halo Fan Fiction archive. If you submit non-Halo-related work... we're going to have to reject it. Sorry. (Louis Wu 11:42:38 UTC) (permalink)
Stikfas Master Chief
Again - we're behind. Lots of cool stuff has come in over the past few weeks. It's all still here - and I hope I can get to it soon. DeWayne Muse sent in a few shots of a customized Stikfas Master Chief - he's pretty slick! Check out the pics. (Louis Wu 11:21:34 UTC) (permalink)
Pictures, Part 1
The Art submissions here at HBO have gotten way, way, WAY behind; there are backups in almost every section. I'm really sorry about that. I'll be doing my best to clear as much of this as possible in the next few days. First up - a bunch of desktop images for the Wallpaper section, submitted in the first half of January. (If you submitted a desktop recently, and it's not in this batch - please don't panic; this is less than half the queue. I'm putting up 20 images today, and I'll do it again in a day or two, and so on, until they're all up.) Some pretty cool stuff in here; I particularly like Eric Rodrigues' view of a sexy Cortana. See what you can find! (Louis Wu 11:00:48 UTC) (permalink)
Hard-rockin' Fan Music
Mothergoat of Clan Boomstick, dropped off a pretty cool piece of music he put together. Here's what he says about it:
This isn't any sort of easy remix or anything, this tune was built with full instrumentation from the ground up. Matt Cox (me) of the band Windsor Medium wrote this new theme for Halo, inspired by Marty O'Donnell's favorite melody. I play every instrument heard. NOTE: This is just a 2-minute clip of the 5-minute song it will be soon. I will be adding piano and strings to the final version.
This is the kind of music I want to hear while searching, then bullet-dancing with Gold Elites...with a butt-load of explosions, too.
Go grab Hail to 117 (1.8mb, mp3) and look for that Gold Elite! (Louis Wu 01:22:41 UTC) (permalink)
