Battle Damaged Sniper
Gamestop got an exclusive Battle-Damaged Master Chief action figure - he looked like the regular MC, but his armor was scratched up, and he came with a plasma rifle instead of a sniper rifle. (He still got a pistol and his trusty AR.) WizardUniverse hs now unveiled a new Exclusive - the Battle Damaged Sniper, due to ship June 30. He'll run you $25, with shipping, if you're interested - there are only 5000 to be made, and pre-orders are accepted now. Thanks to Dark Bastion for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:59:01 UTC) (permalink)
Windows XP UNSC Edition
A couple of months ago, triBYTE_Digital_Img uploaded a Halo-related BootSkin (a Windows XP Startup screen) to WinCustomize - Deimos Fawkes just pointed it out. Boot your machine to the Master Chief! (Louis Wu 19:30:08 UTC) (permalink)
Biting The Hand That Feeds.
One One Se7en continues the time travel schtick (Hi, Shishka!) and even takes a shot at me today. And that Stuntmutt... he never recycles anything. It's all original, all the time. Yep. (Louis Wu 19:09:19 UTC) (permalink)
Now With Cov-Fu Action!
Me? Forget to post Comics? That's Unpossible! Today's Halo: Resolution moves into uncharted territory... of a sort. (Louis Wu 18:52:02 UTC) (permalink)
And the Flash goes on
Geez. 3 weeks go, Michael Frank wrote to us with a Flash animation he and some others had whipped up; it's a 4 mb story of Bravery and Survival (yeah, their words) in our favorite canyon. I managed to bury it, until now. You can watch it here. (Give it some time to load - the server is still being hammered by requests for the Warthog Launch game.) (Louis Wu 18:16:03 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Tourney on Long Island
Xtournaments will be hosting a 2v2 Halo tournament with a FFA segment on March 27th, in Smithtown, Long Island, New York. Entry fee is $40/team, with $1000 in prize money on the line. Check out the details! (Louis Wu 17:37:48 UTC) (permalink)
The wait, the wait
This came in a couple of weeks ago - but like many other things, got buried. Apparently, the Ottawa Citizen ran a story (164K) on Halo 2, and how people are frustrated about the wait for it, back in mid-January. (The submission came from Thumper on February 17, and the wording suggested that it came out that day.) Nice to see it in mainstream newspapers! (Louis Wu 17:33:06 UTC) (permalink)
Red, White, and Blue Halo
This came in Monday night, but got buried - sorry about that. xitWOUND117 points out some shots that his group, Crazed Gnome Productions, have put together - mostly skinned vehicles. There's a Red banshee, a decaled tank, a CGP orange LAAG warthog, a CGP black Rocket warthog, and a lightning'd ghost. Check it out! Update: as many people noticed, the bandwidth for CGP ran out pretty quickly; gwdpto has come to the rescue with some COERCE hosting. (Louis Wu 15:36:00 UTC) (permalink)
Ghetto Halo
dolbex has a fun writeup of a 16-team, 8-man-per-team tourney he went to last weekend, over at Been Mawed. Good time, bad money. Great pics. Go read! (Louis Wu 15:26:28 UTC) (permalink)
And in this corner...
Just a reminder - the Gamespy.com Title Fight between Halo and Goldeneye 007 begins today, at noon (PST). Don't forget to swing by and cast your vote! (Louis Wu 14:52:26 UTC) (permalink)
