HSP going strong
For those who didn't notice, the Halo Story Page processed a slew of submissions yesterday... several sections got updates. Make it a daily (or almost-daily) stop! (Louis Wu 22:06:37 UTC) (permalink)

Bungie Pentathlon coming up
Miguel Chavez points out that Bungie.net has put up a new QuickPoll - who do you think is going to win the Bungie Pentathlon this Friday? Before you vote for the best-named team (Online Cinematesticle - made up of the Online, Cinematics, and Test teams), remember that multigenarian Marty O'Donnell will be anchoring the tug-of-war.

New Fan Fiction
Images dance past, flashing by at increasing speed until he cannot begin to decipher what they might be. Next come the lights, expanding into thin lines stretching endlessly, arcing behind some unseen horizon. As he watches, they bend and ripple against each other, dissolving amongst the rainbow spectrum like the pattern of waves crisscrossing one another far upon a windswept ocean.
Gordi turns in another installment of his as-yet-unnamed saga, this one titled 'Prelude to Paradise'. You'll find it in our Fan Fiction section - don't forget to leave him feedback! (Louis Wu 08:16:31 UTC) (permalink)
Mac Publisher STILL unknown
Interesting MacWorld tidbit: During downtimes at the MacOSX Gaming presentation area, a movie looped all day, showing footage from current and upcoming Mac games. One of the clips showed Halo... footage from the E3 2000 movie. At the bottom was written 'Halo: Published by Bold by Destineer'. Luckily, Peter Tamte of Bold was on hand to clarify; the movie was made by an outside contractor, and contains... questionable info. (The content - from a 2-year-old movie - should have been a clue...) Tamte stated that Microsoft has not made any statement about who is doing the conversion, nor who is publishing the Mac version... and until they do, no statement at all is appropriate. All he's willing to confirm is that Halo is coming to the Mac. Until Microsoft (or Bungie) makes a formal decision, any speculation is just that - speculation. (Louis Wu 07:10:04 UTC) (permalink)
