Interview with an artist at 2old2play
BATMANKM, a member of 2old2play, was one of the artists that entered in the Seventh Column Art Competition earlier this month; he recived an Honorable Mention in the writeup, but his work was not shown. Fellow clanmember DanLeCrinque talked to him about the work - you can read the interview (and check out the gorgeous piece, including progress roughs) on the 2old2play website. There's even a set of wallpapers based on the pic... and a Batman Master Chief! Awesome read. Thanks, DSmooth. (Louis Wu 19:09:59 UTC)

Big Chief
Jean-Luc posted a huge (2048x2048, 660kb) render he completed of the Master Chief - nice detail! (Louis Wu 17:04:14 UTC)

eBay Goodies going to Good Homes
Phil Shiel sent us a pic of the Master Chief Resin Statue (228K) he bought off eBay a few days ago - it's the one we mentioned here. Looks awesome next to the high-end TV equipment he plays Halo 2 on! (I guess we're doing some decent advertising for eBay sellers; the M6D replica we mentioned a few days ago was snatched up by one of our favorite artists, Elnea. (Louis Wu 17:05:02 UTC)

Weekend Collab
John Doe found a pretty random Master Chief inclusion in a Flash vid - you can find it here. Oddness... (Louis Wu 15:11:48 UTC)

MC Resin Sulpture for Auction
A Master Chief resin sculpture (these were promotional items in Europe last year) is up for sale on eBay. We've mentioned these before - but they're usually in Europe, and this one is in the US. Starting bid is $160, Buy it Now price is $210, and you've got almost 5 days to make up your mind (unless someone else buys it first). Thanks, Cassius. (Louis Wu 12:44:43 UTC)

MC Armor - Going Fast
Whoa. You don't have much time - but if you're interested in Master Chief armor, Briar's Armor (search our news if you've never heard of them) has a red set up on eBay - with just under a day left in the auction. What a great after-Christmas present for that special Halo fan in your life! (Or me...) (Louis Wu 03:37:22 UTC)

Clich to the eh.
Dear beloved HBO... the time has come to let the Halo fans vent their spleen! We all know there's a Halo movie on the horizon... so what keeps you up at night that those unfamiliar with our beloved Halo might wreck? Cortana as the sassy sidekick? The insertion of a BFG in the MC's arsenal? Leonardo DiCaprio as the Master Chief? Andy Serkis overdoing it as a Flood Infection Form? Well, now you have a place to submit your worries. If we feel it's a valid (and competent) entry, it will be accepted and you can share your fears with the rest of Halo fandom. So head on over to The HBO Halo Movie Cynics Database and release the Ari Jacobs within you. And what's up with that treasure chest? We ain't saying! (Ding 03:04:08 UTC)

Still Got It
PHW is mostly a Half-Life 2 related comic site... but the Weekday Strip involves characters from a number of games, and the most recent strip involves your friendly neighborhood Master Chief. Thanks, Vapor. (Louis Wu 14:29:44 UTC)

Next up - Cortana, I guess.
Heh - Dustin Kaufman found Master Chief's MySpace. Even the Spartans are getting one... (Louis Wu 13:50:21 UTC)

Biography: Master Chief
NFL246 (who goes by Wronchi on Newgrounds) has posted a parody of the Master Chief's life in Flash format over there. It's pretty long (more than 10 minutes), but has some funny moments. Although he announced it on our forum, he was beaten to the punch by spartan erik, who noticed it 9 hours earlier. (Louis Wu 15:20:20 UTC)

Old-Skool Jumping
Yesterday, while I was stuffing myself past all rationality, Ducain sent me a link to this newspost at High Impact Halo - SneakyPete has recreated a classic Halo trick... with s7yle. 3 Warthogs, a Banshee, and the Master Chief on top of the lightbridge tower... in single player. To keep you from having to deal with Putfile or Picapic (and to offer QuickTime users an alternative), we're hosting both the original hi-res WMP9 (20.2 mb) and a re-encoded QuickTime (19.9 mb). This one's pretty nice! (Louis Wu 15:25:07 UTC)

Another Warhammer40k maestro
JoeIce dropped by our forum yesterday with a pelican model he'd adapted from a Warhammer 40K piece. Today, he came back - with another dozen images, showing off the Pelican, a Master Chief, and an MC on a Ghost. That Ghost ROCKS! (Louis Wu 18:56:33 UTC)

Gourdian Knots
The votes (almost 25,000 of them) have been tallied for the 2005 version of the Guilt O' Lantern contest... and the winners are repeat offenders! Michael Coffing, who took first place last year, did it again this year, with his Arbiter and Master Chief pumpkin. Eric Rodrigues, who took second place last year, pulled in both the second and third place prizes this year, with his renditions of Tartarus and Cortana. Both winners will be contacted via email about their prizes - but in the meantime, you can browse the pumpkins and view the final scores. Congrats to everyone who entered, and made this contest a success again! (Louis Wu 18:42:45 UTC)

Save the seeds. Dispose of the rest.
Wow. The deadline for entries to our 343 Guilt O' Lantern contest is coming up fast (just 3 and a half days left)... and we've got two brand-new prizes to toss on the pile! Both Steve Downes, voice of the Master Chief, and Tim Dadabo, voice of 343 Guilty Spark, have agreed to contribute the recording of a message on your answering machine (or your cell phone's voicemail, or whatever you choose); the first place pumpkin will get their choice of actors, the second place pumpkin will get the other one. Wouldn't you like the Master Chief telling your callers "I need a message."? (The message itself is completely up to you. They'll just bring it to life.) Tacked on top of an Xbox, and EB Games gift cards, and an I Love Bees DVD... if you're not carving a pumpkin, you're tossing away your chance at some awesome prizes. (Louis Wu 14:54:58 UTC)

Yesterday was a busy day
A couple of bits of site news... the forum thread started yesterday, discussing the merits of keeping the original voice actors for many of the Halo roles, has garnered quite a bit of attention (including some from a couple of the voice actors themselves); the thread is almost 200 posts long, and a large percentage are on-topic. Most respondents (though not all) seem to want Master Chief's helmet to stay on... and most respondents (though, again, not all) want the original voice actors to reenact their roles in the movie. Have you made YOUR opinion known? And the Blow Me Away auction, now just 19 hours old, has already collected more than 60,000 pageviews and more than $5500 in bids. You guys ROCK!

A Study in Reds
Theo Prins dropped off a new sketch the Master Chief - you'll find it on his gallery page. He continues to floor me. (Louis Wu 13:58:39 UTC)

Night to Unite 2005 - MC Statue (and more)
You might remember the Night to Unite auction on eBay last year, to benefit a number of children's groups - they're doing it again, and one of the items this year is a 6-foot Master Chief statue. Current bid is $630, but I'm guessing it'll get quite a bit higher before the auction ends on the 13th. Check out all the stuff- it's for good causes! Thanks, Archaos. Update: hehe - Clay points out that the number of items for sale in the entire Night to Unite auction is a Halo-relevant 117. Queue Twilight Zone music... (Louis Wu 06:32:43 UTC)

Jackson Fever
There's news all over the net about the Peter Jackson/Halo situation. Tempus Fugit found a small video clip (WMP9, 12 mb) where Jackson, at X05, made a statement about how excited he is, over at Jeuxfrance.com. Spitvalve scanned the front page of the Dominion Post, Wellington's biggest newspaper, where the Master Chief takes up a HUGE chunk. (There's an online version as well, at Stuff.co.nz - thanks, Paradice.) And News.com.au has an article that has some quotes Donna Langley, Universal's production president, discussing how the Halo movie might be easier to bring to the big screen than the Doom movie was. (Thanks, DunnyPanMan.) I always get nervous when ANYTHING gets this much hype - it's hard to live up to unreasonable hype - but my guess is, things will settle down eventually, and then we'll see what we see.

You gotta love the bow.
Okay, this is just scary. Joystiq has a story about a t-shirt design submitted to a T-shirt-selling website that combines Hello Kitty with the Master Chief. (This has been done before, I suppose - there was a SomethingAwful Photoshop Phunnies entry like this, now sadly offline - but this is something you wear.) We'll see if this one ever gets made... thanks, wheelers. (Louis Wu 17:17:23 UTC)

Brutes in Bikinis
Game Informer has posted an article that claims that a character from Halo will be appearing in the upcoming Dead or Alive 4, and that it won't be the Master Chief (or a Warthog). At this point, this is in the Wild Rumors category, but if more info surfaces, we'll let you know. Looks like GhaleonEB was first out of the gate with this one. (Louis Wu 13:25:54 UTC)

Halo 3 - from a fan
Chris Bryan finished a short (12 second) hallway scene of wholly original work; the render took 37 hours to complete. ('Wholly original' means he built the Master Chief model himself; he has no tools for extracting the in-game model.) There's no sound, but the video is simply gorgeous - amazing lighting... watch it for yourself. QuickTime format (2.3 mb) | WMP9 format (2.8 mb). (Comments can go in this thread he started last night.) (Louis Wu 13:08:02 UTC)

Art Flood
Whew! I feel like a load's been lifted from my shoulders. 58 new pieces are now available in the Miscellaneous Art section (though only 42 actual entries have been added - the rest are variants of one kind or another). It's a pretty wide range of material, but three pieces stood out for me; Veegie's 'Ambuscade', Paul Davies' 'Destination: Halo', and Theo Prins' Wacom'd Master Chief. (That doesn't mean the rest of the lot isn't worth looking at - it just means these were MY three favorites.) Go browse! (Louis Wu 15:35:25 UTC)
