Art for Art's Sake
She does it again - Tina Leyk let us know about two new pics she's done; her fan character, Dre'al, an a Hunter closeup. You'll find them at the bottom of the Halo Fan Art section of her local page. I'm lovin' em. (Louis Wu 21:19:58 UTC) (permalink)
Screenshot Analyzed
Wolfy, over at Sector 7, has gone to the trouble of writing up a full article on the new screenshot. (Louis Wu 21:12:49 UTC) (permalink)
A View From The Top
Gustav Larimore (TéB34NZ) writes about a movie he's made called 'A View from the Top' he's hosting it at Effervescing Blue Productions. It's 2:30 long, 640x480, 25.4 mb, WMP9 format, showing some high jumping in various netmaps. (Louis Wu 21:08:39 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Trivia Needed
KingPhreak is setting up a Halo Trivia bot for IRC; it will sit in a channel, asking trivia questions, and keeping track of who answers fastest. The problem is... he needs more questions. Instructions on how to submit them can be found in this forum post. If you have some Halo trivia that you think might stump the masses... jump in! (Louis Wu 04:04:07 UTC) (permalink)
Now THAT'S what I'M talkin' about.
There have been so many HUDless screenshots recently, I was going to implement a policy of a single update each day, with all the links in it. However, there are two posts tonight by CuBaNo which simply demand personal attention. The second batch, especially, contains some of the best shots posted on our forum to date, in my opinion. The first post was here - and it's pretty good. The second post... wow. (Warning - these pics are pretty big.) (Louis Wu 03:13:29 UTC) (permalink)
The Infection Spreads
Just when you thought it was safe to read *NM* posts on our forum again... BOLL strikes. Call the office of Homeland Security! (Louis Wu 02:41:22 UTC) (permalink)
Comic Updates: good news and bad news
On the plus side, Halo Babies has posted a new strip; I think the MC needs balance lessons. On the minus side, 343GS.com has posted that they will no longer be creating EchoFourNineteen strips (and, in fact, are no longer hosting their existing strips). And so it goes.

Content, Content, Content
The Bungie Weekly Update this week went to... well, Bungie. (NEPOTISM!) You can find Frankie's musings on the Underground, Bungie's very own public forum. It's short - but it's tasty. The tidbit on realism on 'an Earth level' left me drooling for actual gameplay... the bit about Jaime fine-tuning Enemy AI got me intrigued, and the bit about Marty had me laughing. And oh, yeah, the Mister Chief artwork hits new edges of quality. And if the update weren't enough, there's also (finally) a new, hi-res screenshot, the one that's been floating around the net for a couple of weeks in illicit magazine scans. All the arguments about 'is that really a needler?' and 'wait, who's falling?' and the like seem rather silly now, with a 1600x1200 reference piece to look at... what? You're still here? Why aren't you at Bungie.net, reading? (Louis Wu 00:56:30 UTC) (permalink)
