A parable for our time
In the interest of sanity, Otokam writes a story of monkeys and quilts. Definitely worth a read. All your stuffing are belong to us. (Louis Wu 23:45:48 UTC) (permalink)
FiringSquad gets their hands on Halo
Thanks to Harry Al-Shakarchi, who pointed out a FiringSquad review of Halo. No new info at this point... but it was encouraging to hear die-hard PC gamers talking about getting the basics of fighting down inside of 5 minutes. Take a look! (Louis Wu 23:41:14 UTC) (permalink)
New video coming soon to xbox.com
fate noticed that the Xbox.com Halo site now has the following comment:
We have a better video coming soon!
There's also a fun new Halo flash animation at the top of the Games page... but don't follow the link, it's showing its PC origins:

screenshot analysis reconstructed
A few days ago, we mentioned that Noctavis, of Rampancy.net, had posted a pretty nice analysis of the new screenshots. Soon after that, though, the R.net forum exploded, showering its denizens with shards of broken verbiage, injuring 14, killing 4. One of the casualties was Noc's analysis post. Luckily, he's taken the time to reproduce it, and in fact add to it. You can check it out here. (Louis Wu 14:03:55 UTC) (permalink)
Theories section updated
Todd Hansen sent in a couple of theories, which we've added to our Theories section: Ring Rotation and Weapons Usage, which plays with orbital bombardment, and Orbits/Seasons/Communications, which looks at weather patterns on the Halo. Have your own ideas about the Halo? Send 'em in! Pax. (Crux Fidelis 05:41:24 UTC) (permalink)
New Poll at MSXbox
Thanks to Char (IMG) for the heads up - MSXbox is running a poll asking what you thought the best game shown at Gamestock was. You know what to do. :) (Louis Wu 03:19:07 UTC) (permalink)
Matt speaks out
EXCLUSIVE: In response to the comments and confusion surrounding what was expected and what was delivered (to the public, not the press) from the Gamestock event, Matt Soell has answered some questions we've put together for him. Read them. If you have more questions that you think should have been asked, send them to the link provided... and we'll do a second round. Hopefully, this will quell some of the fears expressed over the past couple of days. (Louis Wu 00:42:12 UTC) (permalink)
