Halo in MacFormat (UK)
Halo in MacFormat (UK). Kudos to Phish who sends word that Halo features in the latest issue of MacFormat (UK). Not only that but Phish scanned in the front cover and transcribed the text. We can't put it all up but here's the first paragraph:
The game that generated the most excitement at last month's E3 show in Los Angeles was undoubtedly Halo, Bungie Software's eagerly anticipated sci-fi combat spectacular. The good new is that, despite many rumors to the contrary, Halo is definitely real and definitely coming to the Mac - a simultaneous Mac/PC release is expected early next year.
Thanks Phish. :) (Crux Fidelis 17:46:18 UTC) (permalink)

HBO user stats: 45.4% MacOS, 50.8% Windows, 3.8% Other.
Louis did some HBO server stats and posted the percentage of Windows and Mac OS users to theforums. We felt the figures were worth repeating here:
45.4% MacOS
50.8% Windows (31% Win98, 11% Win95, 7% NT, 2% Win2000)
The remainder is various flavors of Unix, and 6 WebTV hits, and 3 Amiga hits. (!!)
Ok who has the Amiga? ;) (Ding 14:44:23 UTC) (permalink)
macslash.com hacked?
Believe it or not! Matthew Liebhold reports thatmacslash.com claim they were hacked last night and their Bungie-MS buyout details were deleted from their server. Yeah right. Smoke 'em if you've got 'em. (Wirehead 14:15:14 UTC) (permalink)
Halo SETI 24 hour team stats posted
The SETI team ranks still haven't been updated so we don't know where the Halo SETI Marinesare placed at the moment. Some fine crunchin' by Jjaro tech and ABordner takes the Frogblast award. Still only a third of marines are doing active service. We could do with some back-up people. Full details on the 24 hour stats page. (Wirehead 14:15:14 UTC) (permalink)
MS Rumor Analysis at Clan MacGaming
Joel Page (aka Ironfist) has written an interesting article on the MS rumors. Worth a read, just for the level-headedness. (Louis Wu 12:36:58 UTC) (permalink)
Even MacAddict getting into the act
The MS rumors have made it as far as MacAddict, a major Mac print magazine. No new info, but they point to As The Apple Turns for a distinctly Mac viewpoint on the potential truth to the rumors. Thanks to Formerly Wu, over at the R.net forum, for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 00:39:22 UTC) (permalink)
