IMG interviews The Man
Inside Mac Games has posted an interview with Alex Seropian aka The Man. Check it out for a good read:
IMG: And the big question...will Halo ever come to the Mac? Any details you can share with your loyal Mac fans?
Seropian: Yes, Halo will be out for the Mac. Be patient. Or, I suppose if you have no patience, get yourself an Xbox [insert evil music here] :)
Be sure to read the rest of the interview, but beware of a tiny spoiler in one of the responses Alex gives. Pax. (Crux Fidelis 20:04:01 UTC) (permalink)
Gaming Age Hails Halo
Gaming Age has put up a Special article about Halo - 'Hail Halo' paints Halo as Microsoft's 'Trojan horse to move systems' that will sell the Xbox to more than the Bungie faithful. A pretty good read - thanks to op_ivy for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 19:46:41 UTC) (permalink)
FoR (sort of) reviewed at Xbox365
Heh - Xbox365 has written a rather confused review of Halo: The Fall of Reach. While it's nice to see the book get some press of its own, it would be nicer if the reviewer got the facts straight...
Ever wondered where the cool storyline in Halo comes from? Did you really think that the dudes at Bungie & Microsoft came up with the Covenent, MasterChief and the curvy Cortana? Think again. Halo, The Fall of Reach is the original book from Eric Nylund that introduces Halo, and it's amazing powers.
(As a matter of fact, the dudes at Bungie and Microsoft DID come up with those things... and Eric Nylund worked closely with members of the team to flesh out parts of the storyline and create a complementary novel. A pretty good one, even.) The rest of the review suffers from more of the same confusion... but again, it's nice to see it being hyped at all. Thanks to Miguel "I was only joking" Chavez for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 19:17:10 UTC) (permalink)

Halo SETI Team 7 day stats posted
Dink!... Dink!... Dink!... The Halo SETI Marines lose three MORE positions (down to 60) in the Battle of the Teams... and we've just been challenged by an upcoming team! Doesn't help when high-unit crunchers like SpudNYC jump ship... but that doesn't explain how the SETI servers lost another 600 of our units. Hang on, Jim, she's goin' down! Check out the carnage on the 7 day stats page. (Louis Wu 15:57:13 UTC) (permalink)
Find that review better
The Reviews page just got a little easier to navigate - an alphabetical popup at the top of the page will bring you to the review you're looking for. Seemed reasonable, since the review count hit 40 yesterday... (Louis Wu 01:42:27 UTC) (permalink)
Ghost ramping for fun and profit
Ghost ramping... a new sport? From daedulus1187:
To play you need a ghost and some stuff to ramp over. The scorpion tank works the best. All you do is just go over the ramp and hold a direction and you can do all kinds of tricks, like barrel rolls and back flips. And to get extra air you can press A.
I can say from experience (during the first meeting of the HBO Junkies, yesterday), that this is, indeed, a blast. Other fun tricks? Let us know! (Louis Wu 01:38:19 UTC) (permalink)
