Where are the snowmen?
If you're like me, there are certain comics that simply made you sad when they stopped. Bloom County, The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes... well, our very own Warbow has resurrected one of these classics and updated it for the present day. We're proud to bring you the first four strips of Calvin and Halo. As more get added, we'll let you know. (Louis Wu 22:01:45 UTC) (permalink)
Bugs in the system... workin' out
Fan Fiction writers: early submitters have pointed up a couple of errors in the system. The biggest one, however, was simply a misunderstanding; folks didn't seem to be able to figure out my explanation of why their 'filename' was being rejected. I've rewritten a section of the directions to clarify this problem. (Scroll down to 'Title'.) Also, some of you actually tried submitting stories while I was working on the page last night; you probably got errors. Two stories were recovered (Ultra Sonic 007 and Tygpj) - if you don't see a submission you made in the next update (later today), drop me email or try again. (Louis Wu 16:59:24 UTC) (permalink)

The Case of the Missing Screenshots
I'm fallin' out of my seat, laughin'. We got a note from ed, asking us if we knew anything about the new Halo 2 shots showing at Giga.de, a german TV affiliate of NBC-Europe. In ed's words,
Giga is a well-known show about all sorts of internet-themes, and I don't think they would lie, but I wonder if these pics are real, because they have no Bungie-logo on them, and they are still not shown at BungieÇs T&R-site.
To see the pics, follow this link, then hit the 'Shots'N'Pics' link underneath the action figure picture. Alternatively, here's the frame in question. When you're all done, follow this link, posted on our news last week, and if you want, you can even follow the internal links from there for the original source. When you're all done with that, sit back, laugh, and then send Roger Wilco some email, telling him just how cool his work really is. (ed, you were right to be suspicious... but if you ask me, those are good enough to be in the game anyway.) (Louis Wu 01:46:13 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 dates
PlanetXbox has posted what they call a 'narrowed down' release date of Halo 2: someone who works for PXB who was at the GDC heard from someone that the 'slated release date' is Q1 2004. Now, given that Matt Soell (who is DEFINITELY more of a known quantity than an unknown source at a gaming conference talking to an unnamed staffer of a general Xbox site) has said, as recently as yesterday that there is nothing more firm than '2004', this info should be taken with a grain (okay, a pound or two) of salt... but we didn't want a few dozen of you writing to let us know that you KNOW when Halo 2 is gonna be released, and we're way behind on the news. (Thanks to Team Overkill for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 00:03:35 UTC) (permalink)
