Clan HBO - easing of the overflow
KP has posted a note on our regular forum, explaining how we're going to get around the 100 person limit on XBL clans - it points to a post on the Clan HBO forum wiht many more details. If you wanted to be a member of Clan HBO, and were frustrated by how quickly it filled up, go read this! (Louis Wu 21:39:19 UTC) (permalink)
Miniature Halo Art Contest
SEspider is running another contest - come up with some Miniature Halo artwork (static or moving), win a bunch of Halo figures. Full details (including rules and a detailed prize listing) are in the forum post. (Louis Wu 21:34:22 UTC) (permalink)
CPL Summer Event looks big.
The Cyberathlete Extreme Summer Championships 2005 will be taking place in Grapevine, Texas (near Dallas/Fort Worth) from July 6-10, 2005. Over $200,000 in cash and prizes will be on the line (and presumably, some form of Halo gameplay will be involved.) More details are 'coming soon'. Visiting the website will allow you to register, make hotel reservations, and see photos from last year's event. (Louis Wu 21:12:45 UTC) (permalink)
News Roundup
Today's Halo Around the Net:

- Washington Post - the rise of popular music in video games (with Halo 2 as a prime example). Thanks, Anton P. Nym (who actually found it at MSNBC).
FoV hack for Halo 2
VerdaFolio pointed out that the HaloMods crowd has already figured out how to hack Halo 2 to increase the field of view. (Keep in mind that hacked Xboxes are banned for life from XBL, so a box with this hack will NOT be showing up in your latest Rumble Pit game.) Still - pretty impressive, nonetheless!

Double your Stuntmutt, double the fun!
Not only is the new One One Se7en posted (though some of you might have trouble seeing the humor - it might be too soon), but it looks like Stuntmutt has ALSO done today's Guest Strip over at Halo Babies. (That one, too, has the potential to ruffle a few feathers. Most likely the same ones.) While you're over there, there's a new fan strip, as well. (Louis Wu 11:08:16 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Schwag on eBay
gwdpto, a longtime member of the Halo community (though one pretty disappointed with Halo 2), has put a bunch of his Halo paraphenalia up for auction at eBay. If you're looking for cardboard cutouts, or action figures, or a signed copy of the Season 1 RvB DVD... check out this forum post. (Louis Wu 10:45:57 UTC) (permalink)
Super Mario Bros. With Guns.
Ouch. Bungie took on the staff of the Official Xbox Magazine for this week's Halo Humpday Challenge - all I can say is, it's a good thing the Bungie.net forum mods kicked their butts, or they'd think they were unstoppable. Frankie says be sure to stop by the front page for the... um, interesting GIF Andrew put together for this story. (Louis Wu 02:49:55 UTC) (permalink)
