So who won?

Have Shotgun, Will Travel
Stuck on the Library on Legendary? Yes, you could check our our very own Legendary walkthrough, right here at HBO... but it doesn't come with the nifty-keen pictures you can get along with Bungie's version. Check it out! (Louis Wu 00:27:59 UTC)

Halo Soundtrack Review
Monsters at Play has reviewed the Halo soundtrack - and it's a great read. No "looping cheese-rock riffs" here... the soundtrack is one solid piece of work, and the review does it justice. Check it out! (Louis Wu 02:01:51 UTC)

...You will know what real pain is.
Whoa. Stephen Hawking has made an ad for Xbox Live! (Okay, okay, not really - but dang, Blackstar did a fine job of it anyway.) 10 megs, 1 minute, QT 5 format; we're not hosting it, but that's because Blackstar said we didn't need to. We would, though - it's really funny. And we will - if downloads get out of hand at Blackstar Productions. Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:00:03 UTC)

Fonkee...
Word comes of a french Warthog Jumpin' movie. The jumping is nothing special... but the dancing chiefs are pretty cool. :) If you're willing to watch it in Real format, go here and check it out! (Louis Wu 14:51:02 UTC)

More pics for your desktop
A pair of new desktop images for you - Ken Schreiber compares Halo and Halo 2, and Allenthar colors in a cool Bungie wallpaper (in a multitude of sizes). Check 'em out in our Wallpaper section! Update: We've added a third image for the morning - this one from Deimos™, over at Subnova.com... it utilizes an exclusive screenshot and a classic quote; check it out! (Louis Wu 14:52:51 UTC)

The Genesis of Halo?
oldmano'theC has created a pretty amazing 'Fan Fiction' - it's a video called HALO Genesis•1, and it shows one vision of how Halo might have been formed. It's fully computer-generated footage - there's nothing from the game itself (except the title, and maybe the planetary layout) - even the music is original. It's available from its home site, or from our mythica.org mirror. It's 18 mb, just under 2 minutes, and in QT5 format. Check it out! Update: Thanks to Tocki, of Halo Orbit - there is now a German mirror of this film. (It doesn't come in Chip's nice little display window... but heck, if you're in Europe, saving the transatlantic bandwidth is easily worth losing that!) (Louis Wu 12:27:31 UTC)

Movie? Sort of.
Vinny Mac has submitted 'Marines', a pretty cool Flash file - it's just over a meg, and it's really nicely done. You can call it a music video, I guess... low-tech, but some laugh-out-loud moments. Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:48:19 UTC)

Newest movie mirror: pez.bungie.org
Pez Mohr has put up a web interface for his Halo Movie mirror site - and we've put an easier name to remember on it. Check it out! (The web part is pretty slow... but the ftp downloads are quite fast. In addition, he's provided news/movie links from here, to help you decide what version you want to download.)

There oughtta be a law...
Bungie's Number One Fan Miguel 'Freewill' Chavez competed in the first round of the Halo National Tournament... and has written up his experiences, complete with pics. Check it out at Bungie Sightings! Correction: Miguel competed in a warm-up event, not the actual tournament. Silly me - the tournament doesn't even start until next week! (Louis Wu 04:37:26 UTC)

Guess the Release Date!
Woo - long weekends out of town can be GOOD things. :) First up - The Junkyard is running a new competition - guess the release date of PC/Mac Halo (exactly), and win stuff! (There are several copies of Halo, and some multimedia cards on the line.) The news story is here, the Guess Contest is here. Check it out! (Thanks to Vector40 for the heads-up, and apologies for the delay in posting this.) (Louis Wu 13:20:05 UTC)

Funky Blue Things
Daniel Conway was inspired by the energy stations (the blue beams) in Halo... and whipped up a little something for our Miscellaneous Art section. Check it out! (Louis Wu 03:16:35 UTC)

Box art, future style
This came in a couple of days ago, but we missed it because we were all at MacWorld (except for Crux, who was burning incense and hoping for salvation). Jon Bonneau has created his view of what the box for 'Halo Next' (OXM's unimaginative moniker for the next Halo game) will look like. Check it out in our Miscellaneous Art section.

Bungie.net forums open
Bungie.net came back up from its downtime this morning... and you're gonna like the reason. They were installing their new Forum system - eventually, every chapter will be able to ahve its own forum, but for now, there are just a pair of them, The Underground, and the Septagon. It's completely custom-built - check it out! (Thanks to Warbow for pointing them out.) (Louis Wu 21:12:30 UTC)

To watch, or not to watch...
Culture comes to HBO - The Master Chief stars in Hamlet, a new movie trailer by Warbow. (A cookie to anyone who can tell where Blackstar helped out...) This one gets the HBO Seal of Approval. You'll find it at Mythica.org (where else?). 4 megs, in QT5 format - check it out! (Louis Wu 02:04:02 UTC)

I think there's krazy glue on that seat...
We've (okay, I've) been very remiss with respect to the Gameplay Tricks section - I'm really sorry about that. Hopefully, I'll have good news for you on that front in the not-too-distant future. (Say, before the release of Halo 2?) In the meantime, though, Warbow has submitted a movie that we could simply add to his existing trick... and therefore did. No new entry needed. Almost 4 months ago, Warbow sent in some pictures from the bottom of the Maw jump. They were cool... but they didn't show anyone how to repeat the stunt. Well, now he's turned in a movie supplement... and even after all this time, I found my jaw dropping, wondering why he wasn't dead. Check it out on the Floor of the Maw trick page.

Stories and links
For the Fan Fiction readers, we have two new stories:
- The Long Ride Home, part 10, by Joshua Barreto
- A Comedy of Peace, part 3, by Jason P.
For the Fan Fiction authors, I'd like to take an opportunity to point out a couple of sites you guys should know about:
- Zenith - a site devoted to helping Fan Fiction writers be better at their craft. Check it out.
- The Halo Fan Fiction Project - A collection of writers attempting to recreate Halo as a novel. The project officially starts tomorrow!
And now back to your regularly schedules Sunday activities... (Louis Wu 15:36:35 UTC)
