Now that's a good lookin' Chief!
Chris Bryan continues his rendering efforts on the Master Chief - you'll find a test render in this post, and another in this one. All I can say is... wow. (Louis Wu 20:31:03 UTC) (permalink)
Bonding
Dennis Powers writes to point out that Episode 12 of the Halo CE Chronicles, 'Bonding', is now available for downloadin on the Halo CE Chronicles download page. The Spartan finds himself in... strange circumstances, while a rescue party sent to save him runs into pretty big trouble. Roughly 30 mb, in both WMP9 and QuickTime format - go grab a copy!

Ajay pointed out that a recent comic from NEWBS was Halo2-related - if you like it, check out their other stuff! (Louis Wu 16:45:35 UTC) (permalink)
Full Of Good Things For Boys And Girls.
I usually use this space to take a cheap shot or two at Stuntmutt, but today's One One Se7en doesn't deserve any cheap shots - I loved it. Through and through. Go read it. (Louis Wu 16:29:14 UTC) (permalink)
FF Writers - incompetent readers?
Eight new stories in the Fan Fiction section today. (I had to delete a few whose authors thought that the 'Do not use the Poem button for a story simply because you don't have 750 words' directive didn't actually apply to THEM.) Go read. (Louis Wu 16:24:52 UTC) (permalink)

Tied The Leader Weekly Update
XerxdeeJ put up a note on our forum - it's time for another weekly recap of Tied the Leader, his Halo-related blog. The two most recent, No Games Played and Open Letter to the Sniper, both resonated with me. Go read! (Louis Wu 14:53:12 UTC) (permalink)
An old relic...
New comic over at Halo Babies - I think Gruntsbane is letting those little tykes grow up. (Louis Wu 09:02:14 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Side Story
Jon McFarlane and some friends put together a Halo 2 radio project at University - it's in MP3 format, just over 7 minutes long, weighs in at 9.7 mb, and follows some of the marines on the Athens before and during its boarding at the start of Halo 2. It's a pretty interesting concept, and sound effects are done quite nicely - give it a listen! (Louis Wu 08:47:33 UTC) (permalink)
Wonder Twin powers - activate!
Captain Spark continues his collection of dialogue snippets with the IWHBYD skull - there's some hilarious stuff in there. He's moving his website, so for now, these are only available in our Dialogue Databank. (Louis Wu 08:44:48 UTC) (permalink)
Free hosting for the Halo community
Razgriz dropped us a note to tell us that FragNutz.org is offering free hosting to anyone interested in setting up a videogame site. More details of this offer can be found on their site. This might be a way to get your Halo site hosted! (Louis Wu 08:18:33 UTC) (permalink)
The Fist of Justice
Wonga. SketchFactor posted a Banhammer Update a few hours ago, over at Bungie.net (thanks, Dry Ice, for noticing) - in the first 24 hours of AU4.0's existence, 2550 (wouldn't it have been nice if it had been 2552, instead?) people have been permanently banned from Halo 2 Matchmaking. Nice! There's also a mini-faq addressing some of the rumors swirling around - go read. (Louis Wu 00:49:35 UTC) (permalink)
