Umm... okay. Hmm... this one's a bit odd... Sikora sends in a new 'combination' image for our Miscellaneous Art section. Take a look... (Louis Wu 20:42:21 UTC) (permalink) 
Halo on your desktop The artwork continues to pour in. This morning, we received another desktop using the Pillar of Autumn shot (in 6 resolutions!), and a 3ds max-rendered marine helmet (made into a cool Halo desktop) - you'll find both in our Wallpaper section. Keep 'em coming! (Louis Wu 15:18:56 UTC) (permalink) 
Halo SETI Team 7 day stats posted Blam!... The Halo SETI Marines climb a notch to number 52 in the Battle of the Teams. Int_21 pours on the steam, as 243 units crunched bring in la Crunch Honneur AND the Frogblast Award for this week's top performer. How are YOU doing? Check the 7 day stats to see!

PLAY IT The final (?) Weekly Halo Update, capping a full year of updates, has been added to the Halo Update Database. A fine tradition... we'll be sorry to see it end. Word of the week - 'Chucky'. Known only as The Bear in weekly updates since June 29, he's finally Chucky again... we missed you, Chuck. The two new screenshots have been added to the Screenshots section, as well - filesizes are a bit different than the versions available at Haloplayers, because we recompressed them from the originals - they're a bit cleaner than before. (We're not taking anything away from HP - they did a fine job. We were just willing to spend a bit more time. :) 99% of our visitors won't be able to tell the difference.)

Art inspires art New screenshots, especially ones this cinematic, inspire new desktops. We got two today - check 'em out in our Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 00:17:15 UTC) (permalink) 
Yeah, yeah, we know. I didn't think this was anything that folks didn't know, so I didn't report it - but I want the mail to stop now. Various people in various forums posted information about the Marathon symbol on the side of the Pillar of Autumn in the latest screenshot - Harry Al-Shakarchi was one of the first to make a nice graphic for it. The first public comment came within 10 minutes of the shot first hitting the web, and discussions have been raging for two days about it. Please - no more mail, telling us you've found it, okay?
