BOLL Trium Wallpaper
BOLL shows us how old this whole Halo-on-a-mobile-phone thing is by linking to the image he put on his phone back in March of 2003.

Death by intelligence.

Never Go On A Blind Date With A Cyborg
If yesterday was Rampancy.net News Day at HBO, then it looks like today is going to be Ross Mills Day at Rampancy.
Normally we don't link to this site, and we'll forewarn you, there are inappropriate things on this page, and even more inappropriate things should you click just about anywhere on this site. But there's a Halo reference there, and it's funny, so worth the risk.
Ross Mills pointed this out in the HBO forum, it's a Yahoo Personals parody involving the Master Chief done by Bitch Kitten and posted over at Something Awful. Also features a bonus shot of Motoko, but from the series, not the movie (boo).
Halo MIDI Ringtone Rescued
Last March, Louis Wu posted at HBO about a MIDI file of the Halo theme that could be used as a ringtone on cellular phones that support MIDI ringtones. Sadly, at some point after that the original host of that file went down.

Halo Flash Movie In The Works
M.N.C of deviantART has been putting together some Flash creations; namely a grunt, the Master Chief, and a plasma pistol. He posted in the HBO forum that a "trailer for a movie" is forthcoming. Could be neat, let's see.
Ross Mills Makes Out Like A Bandit
Ross Mills of Subnova recently won a quiz contest on Eric Trautmann's blog. Trautmann is the guy at Microsoft who coordinates with the authors of the Halo novels, Eric Nylund and William Dietz.
Today his impressive prize package arrived; check out his forum thread at HBO for the skinny on what loot he made off with.
Marathon Ringtone For Your Cellphone
DcBob over at Clan Plaid Hotline let us know that he typed into the ringtone composer of his cellphone a part of the Marathon 2 theme. His transcription is as follows:
8f2 8#d2 8f2 4#g2 8f2 8#g2 4#a2 8#a2 8#a2 8#g2 4#c3 4c3 8f2 8#d2 8f2 4#g2 8f2 8#g2 4#a2 8#a2 8#a2 8#g2 8#a2 8#g2 4#a2
My own cellphone doesn't have this feature, so I can't try it out, but if anyone does, let us know how this works out.
We Are FUBAR
sN3@k33 asks in the HBO forum if anybody has good strategies for keeping Marines alive on Legendary difficulty, especially on 343 Guilty Spark and Assault on the Control Room.
Hikaru-119 came up with a post for the Truth & Reconciliation level and a nice long post about AotCR; it differs from the tactics presented in Evil Otto's legendary walkthrough at Truth & Reconciliation. But it's a lot closer to the tactics I've seen and used myself. Going for that Warthog right away isn't always the best idea.
All The Hot Chicks Must Be Playing Halo
Following up on the chicks-playing-Halo theme that started with Nick's reference to a Gaming Nexus article about innovative uses of the 'S' controller, rapture has posted a link to a BBC story about female gamers over on the cooked gamers site.
The article itself only mentions CounterStrike, not Halo, but most of the same general ideas apply. There are quite a few quotes from purportedly female gamers at the end of the article now.
Tell Master Chief To Call Back
[image:6845 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]rapture cooked up a neat wallpaper for his Sony Ericsson mobile phone, featuring the Master Chief as drawn by Stuntmutt in One One Se7en. Not to be outdone, we tried to get a slightly more detailed version for on-the-go-viewing, putting the latest Halo 2 screenshot as the background image on a Palm-based cellphone, the Handspring Treo 270.
UPDATE: We've made downloadable versions of this resized image, both for Fireviewer/Backdrop GC and for SplashPhoto. Free registration at Rampancy required for download.
Halo Babies To Open Sponsor Area
The new Halo Babies site was made possible by donations from the shadow government... I mean, from loyal fans of the comic. The site has now opened a special area dedicated to them in the forum.
The Sponsors area is described as being similar to Red vs. Blue's; it will feature new comics a bit earlier than the general release. Right now, they're running a contest; a $10 donation or more between now and April gets you access to the Sponsors area, plus a chance to be drawn into a future Halo Babies comic.
NOTE: As of right now, the link from the post at Halo Babies just goes to the general forum; I can't see any special sponsor area yet. I thought at first it was because I wasn't logged in, but now that I have, I still don't see anything.
UPDATE: mrsmiley informed me that I couldn't see the Sponsors area because it was hidden from anyone not a sponsor. Now it displays for everybody, although only sponsors have access to it. I've seen it, and it is cool :)
