Halo Makes the Top 10
The NPD Group has released a report on video game sales for 2002 - and among other interesting facts, they've compiled a Top 10 Best Selling Game Titles list. On the list are seven PS2 games, one GameBoy Advance game, one GameCube game... and Halo. Booyah! Thanks to kareem ramos for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:16:51 UTC) (permalink)
The Webcam is Back!
After a 2-week hiatus, the Bungie Webcam is back in action - and if you look now, you'll get a glimpse of the Elite Halo t-shirt. (It's archived here, in case the image changes.) Thanks to SketchFactor for the heads-up! (Louis Wu 18:52:02 UTC) (permalink)
Movies, movies, and more movies
Took some work... but the Movies database has finally been brought up-to-date. 20 films released in the past 2 months are now listed (and searchable). Hopefully, this'll help folks looking for that special film. The most recent addition hasn't even been mentioned here in the news yet - so let me do that now. Athol Productions has created The Blair Halo Project, a nearly-7-minute-long vid which starts, and ends, like the movie it got its name from. (In the middle you'll find gamplay and antics.) It's available in QuickTime and WMV formats, and weighs in at 30 or so megs. (Plus or minus 3, depending on your format.) We've put it up at both Mythica and The Psyjnir Complex Hotline server... but additional mirrors would be very much appreciated. Next up: The Miscellaneous database. (Tomorrow, maybe.)

Bringing the Interviews section up-to-date, we've added 4 recent interviews with Marty O'Donnell - the guy's been talkative these past couple of months! (Louis Wu 16:02:38 UTC) (permalink)
Funky pics
Three new desktops for you today - A Matrix-inspired one (well, Reloaded, at least) that's wicked-cool, one that uses the recently-posted Helljumpers interpretation, and one that... well, I can't really explain it. I suppose that's because I don't understand it. You'll find all three in our Wallpaper section. (Louis Wu 14:39:35 UTC) (permalink)
Feet First
Joshua Pettigrew created a logo for the Helljumpers, Special Forces troops mentioned in the Fall of Reach. You'll find it in our Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 14:22:28 UTC) (permalink)
