Bandwidth needed - NOW!
Desperate call for movie mirrors! Dozi has just uploaded a 20 mb film showing a few of the things you can do with a modded Xbox and the cheat hack mentioned this morning. The problem is... we don't have the bandwidth to serve it up to all who want it! It's going to take a bit of time to re-encode it anyway, but I thought I'd get a head-start on the bandwidth issue. If you think you can support a mirror link for this movie, please - send mail immediately. As soon as we have the best version we can get, we'll get a copy out to you. Once the mirrors have uploaded the files, we'll make them live. Again - mirror sites only right now. Thanks! (Louis Wu 21:00:02 UTC) (permalink)
Team HBO at the iGames Regionals...
Thanks to Miguel Chavez, for the heads-up on the activities of Team HBO at the Halo Winter Season Regional Championship held this weekend. As he mentions in his post, King Games has put up a page devoted to the event - here's a shot of Team HBO kicking some butt in round 1. (They're the team on the left; the head in a white shirt is Miguel, and the four players, left to right, are ninja on fire, neo, konrad9 (I could have those two confused - hard to tell from behind :) ), and KP.) And for a bit of humor, check out the screen names of Krypt, the blue team in the final game. (Louis Wu 17:42:46 UTC) (permalink)
HALOID Legends emerge
BIGwooly, of the Seventh Column chapter HALOID, writes to let us know about a bit of internal news that might be interesting to non-HALOID members. For the past year, they've been having a monthly lan party dubbed 'FRAGFEST'. (You can see some of the gameplay in a movie released last spring.) At each fest, they award points to the players ranked first, second and third - and at the 1,000 point milestone, they induct the player as a HALOID Legend. FRAGFEST XII took place last weekend... and not one, but TWO players were inducted. Congrats to Mad Cow and BIGwooly for their Mad Halo Skillz! (Louis Wu 16:20:40 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Story Page Updated
It shouldn't require forum members to remind me... but sometimes it does. The Story page was updated this weekend; check it out for new speculation and ideas! (Louis Wu 15:06:15 UTC) (permalink)
NEVER DIE YES/NO
Whoa. Didn't think it would happen... but apparently, someone's reverse-engineered enough of Halo to provide some cheats. Read this thread for details. (Understand that in order to play with this, you'll need to do all sorts of things that will void your warranty, ensure that you'll never use this Xbox for XBL, and so on.) Waiting for pics...

Bernie Freidin interviewed at Xbox.com... sort of
Recently, we mentioned an interview at the Australian Xbox.com. poena.dare pointed out that not only was this interview ALSO available on the US Xbox.com... but until recently, ANOTHER interview, with Bernie Freidin (a Bungie programmer), was ALSO available. For some reason, that one is now offline, but luckily, p.d saved a copy. We've reformatted it a bit (removing the javascript, the flash, and the worst, but by no means all, the bad html), and made it available in close to its original form, here at HBO. Check it out!
