When non-fanboys travel
Another take... netshade, from brainrazor.com, wrote up his take on the launch party. It's pretty funny, even if it DOES make fun of the denizens of this site... pictures are coming, apparently. (Louis Wu 17:07:03 UTC) (permalink)
Black Ops gets finished
Gunship writes to let us know that the final parts of his 'humongous fanfiction' known as Black Ops has been posted at Battleground: Halo - go take a look! This is novel-sized - 70,000 words (in comparison, Eric Nylund's 'Halo: The Fall of Reach' is 95,000 words, and was originally aiming at 85,000)... if you're pining for some good Halo fiction, this is one worth reading.

Gaming Age gives Halo an A
Flawless Cowboy (otherwise known as Jaime Griesemer, Bungie designer) stopped in to point out that Gaming Age has put up their official Halo Review. It's pretty much a recycled version of the First Impressions article they posted last week... but they've played a bit longer, now, and they've given Halo their highest rating. (They say they'll never give ANY game an A+.) Check it out! We've also added this to to the Reviews page - this is a comprehensive list of all reviews published to date.

Australian commercial mirror
Australian Brendan Daly adds his webspace to the growing list of Halo Commercial mirrors - if you're Down Under, this might be your best bet. Thanks, Brendan! Update: Thanks to Shane, who pointed out that a traceroute shows that that despite the Australian moniker, bjd.au.com is actually hosted on the Jatek Corporation network in Torrance, California - so much for a 'Down Under' solution. (Apparently, it's still fast for Australians, though.) (Louis Wu 09:45:25 UTC) (permalink)
Halo on the Space Channel
carrim notes that the Space Channel recently did a 10 minute segment on the Xbox, with some pretty impressive Halo footage... hmm, I wonder if they'll re-run that? (Louis Wu 03:06:01 UTC) (permalink)
Strategy Guide in stores
sinistar notes on our forum that the Primus Halo Strategy Guide is now in stores... but he warns of some pretty major spoilers inside. (Well, it IS a Strategy Guide...) (Louis Wu 03:03:34 UTC) (permalink)
New wallpaper
Matt "Pugano" Pagano sends in a new desktop for our Wallpaper collection. Uncluttered... (Louis Wu 03:00:21 UTC) (permalink)
More Party Goodness
A few Launch Party reports we missed yesterday - over at Rampancy.net, No7orious wrote a pair; one is a summary of the entire event, the other focuses on Bungie-related musings (rumors?). Also, Brian from Minneapolis, AKA the Mad Sentinel, sent us a report last night - we missed it. Dang, gotta work on those alarms... it's now been posted to the Launch Party Coverage page.

Launch Party Pics start coming in
Shadab, one of our reporters for the Launch Party, submitted a passel of pics earlier today. They're finally up. As more pictures roll in, you'll be able to find them in the Pictures section of the Launch Party Coverage page. (Louis Wu 02:23:26 UTC) (permalink)
More mirrors
More mirrors - Ryan 'Mhaddy' Matthews, of the Junkyard, has put both the Halo Commercial and the Halo Launch Party footage up on their Halo downloads page. We'll put together full lists very soon. (Louis Wu 02:13:48 UTC) (permalink)
