The History of Halo
Red Loser, who seems to want his own day (but started WAY too late to succeed, sorry pal), has written up a History of Halo: Combat Evolved which brings to light some heretofore little-known tidbits. Or maybe just the type of mushrooms he's been eating lately. (Louis Wu 19:48:24 UTC) (permalink)
Halo and the Bible, revisited
Red Loser has put together an interesting page of speculation linking Halo to the Bible. He let us know about this yesterday, but time constraints kept it from getting posted; for the masses, he referenced it on our forum. It's worth a read, if you're at all interested in what RL calls 'The Persecution Parallel.' (Louis Wu 19:35:30 UTC) (permalink)
To Spam, or Not To Spam
Red Loser, a forum regular, has written up a Guide to Recognizing Spam. (No, not the luncheon meat... the annoying blather that sometimes fills our forum.) The aim is to give people guidelines on what does, and doesn't, constitute spam on the forum, in order to improve the overall signal-to-noise ratio. Worth a read, if you're a regular forum poster.

War, the Stock Market... and Halo 2
Wow. The 'Not in 2003' news on Halo 2 is big enough to be reported by Reuters. Now that's impressive for a videogame release date status update... (Thanks to mnemesis for the heads-up.) Update: Griffon points out that it made the BBC news, as well. When was the last time you saw this sort of coverage for a videogame development status update? Update 2: Hehe - just to be complete, poena.dare (whose day it is not) has compiled a sizeable list of news sites that have grabbed this story. Wonga. (Louis Wu 13:20:50 UTC) (permalink)
