FanFic pours in
Velker's Halo 2 Chronicle continues, with Part IV. Thank goodness for snipers! The Fan Fiction collection grows. (Louis Wu 20:56:11 UTC) (permalink)

Halo wins AIAS GotY IAA
Thanks to Elvish Archer, who picked up (from a Japanese site, no less) that Halo won the AIAS Interactive Achievement Award for Game of the Year! (We told you they'd been nominated... and that the ceremony was supposed to be yesterday, but AIAS hasn't updated their website yet.) Congratulations, Bungie! Nice feather, that one. Update: Matt Soell points out on Bungie.net that in addition to Game of the Year, Halo also won Console Game of the Year, Console Action/Adventure Game of the Year, and Outstanding Achievement in Visual Engineering. (That's 4 of the 8 categories they were nominated for... and 3 of the 3 major ones.) W00t! (Louis Wu 20:22:48 UTC) (permalink)
Free Halo Tournaments
Billy Ford stops by our forum to announce that TeamSlayer.com is hosting Halo tournaments that don't cost anything to enter. They're even working on prizes. Stop by their site for more details! (Louis Wu 19:02:45 UTC) (permalink)
Wanna play Halo at E3?
Freewill is looking for people interested in playing in the Halo tournament at the Bungie Fanfest Convocation on Friday, May 24, 2002 in LA. If you are planning on being there... drop him a note! (Louis Wu 18:59:53 UTC) (permalink)
XBM reviews Halo
A new review has surfaced - XBM, a UK magazine, has put an online review up. Except for the repetitiveness near the end (a somewhat universal complaint), they loved it - 98% was the final rating. We've added it to our Reviews database. (The print version will be going up this weekend, thanks to Gimp.) (Louis Wu 18:32:22 UTC) (permalink)
Master Chief Icons for you
Liquidex, in answer to a forum request for Halo icons, has created a nice Master Chief version (and blown it up for detail):
Except for the spelling error, it's perfect (and if you're using it on your desktop, you won't want the words anyway). Thanks, Liquidex! (Louis Wu 15:22:51 UTC) (permalink)
Large influx of fan fiction
Three short fan fics submitted recently - two post-Halo speculations and one poem. Check out The Renegade Marines (minor spoilers), Halo 2: Hope for Mankind (bigger spoilers), and A Ringworld Far Away in our Fan Fiction section! (Louis Wu 14:04:55 UTC) (permalink)
26 light years and no time to sleep
Another look at a post-Halo possibility, from drexx - Earth: Combat Evolved picks up where Halo leaves off, and the action starts right up. You'll find it in our Fan Fiction section. (Louis Wu 02:09:29 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Comic at Truth and Recon
Heh - over at Bungie's Tru7h and Reconciliation site, there's word of a Seventh Column club-created Halo comic - the Slacker Pimps have a Halo illustrator in Slacker Tang. (You can see more of his Halo work here.) Thanks to craZy for the heads-up! (Louis Wu 02:01:16 UTC) (permalink)
Start your engines...
Think you're a l33t Warthog driver? Can you do donuts on the back of a Pelican, while your gunner takes out the swarming Banshees? Do you love nothing more than the smell of engine grease on your armor? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, your Sarge wants you! (Your psychiatrist probably wants you, too, but that's no concern of ours.) Grab your grease gun and head on over to the Maw 700, an honest-to-goodness bungie.org contest! Submissions are accepted beginning now, soldier. (Louis Wu 00:00:00 UTC) (permalink)
