Wallpaper hits the 200 mark
Two more desktops for you today - another from Siva, who started this latest trend and continues to send in attractive images, and one from FunkyJ, who... um, is sending in original artwork. Sort of. Check 'em both out in the Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 23:23:47 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Literature... coming up
Sometimes, you just luck out. Adam Daniel took it upon himself to learn a bit more about the Halo Guide he discovered earlier - and he came up with more than even he realized. First, he called Prima Games, and learned these facts:
Expected in stores November 11th
Software platform: Xbox
Media rating: Teen
Media grade: AA
ISBN: 0761537449
144 pages
(Neither Adam nor the Prima representative he spoke with have any idea what that 'Media grade' means.) Then he followed up this call with a search of Random House's website... and discovered that it's a paperback. (Not really suprising, given the content.) What he seems to have missed, but which jumped out at me when I hit that search link, was the OTHER Halo-related title at Random House: 'Halo: The Fall of Reach', to be available in both eBook and Del Rey paperback format by October 2001. A full-length Halo Fan Fiction, published by Random House, out before the game is? WOW! Kudos to Adam for uncovering all this - both the details of the Strategy Guide, and the existence of the novel!

And the submissions roll on
A day for impressionists... we received two new desktops today - one from Uriel, editor at Halo Network, and the other from [SE]X-Com, editor at Socket Error - both take an artsy approach to image modification. You'll find both in our Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 16:15:37 UTC) (permalink)
New is old, in blink of an eye
Yesterday, Siva created an original wallpaper in an attempt to inspire folks to move away from modified Bungie creations. Well, Mike Price took him up on it - and our first new submission is a modified Siva creation. Check it out in our Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 15:50:16 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Guide listed at Bestprices.com
Adam Daniel noticed that Bestprices.com has a listing for a 'Halo Guide', by Prima Publishing. There's almost no info at Bestprices, and none at all at Prima... anyone feel like digging? (Louis Wu 15:24:58 UTC) (permalink)
