More Origami
A couple of weeks ago, we put up a news article about an origami Master Chief project available from playmore.com. Later that day, Geeoff put up shots of his finished product (including a custom-added AR). We haven't heard from anyone else... until today, when DocOctavius (in a transparent?but ultimately doomed-to-failure?bid to flood our front page) threw up his own copies. Check 'em out!

Ringwor kicks off
poena.dare is working on a strategy game called 'Ringwor', based on Halo. He's currently soliciting feedback on the rules; check out what's up already, and see if you can contribute! (Louis Wu 17:46:14 UTC) (permalink)
An easier way to take screenies
Whoa - thanks to Ramius, who pointed out a post on Gearbox Software's forum in which Dave Mertz of Gearbox confirms that Halo PC currently has screenshot capability. That will certainly make documentation easier! (Louis Wu 16:41:46 UTC) (permalink)
Kill that Easter Bunny!
The MC with a Peace pendant? Now that's just wrong. Update: DocOctavius points out that it's not a peace sign, it's a Mercedes emblem. (And that's better, somehow? No, no... that's still wrong.) (Louis Wu 16:37:17 UTC) (permalink)
Why MS needs Bungie so bad
CNNmoney has an article on the potential problems Microsoft is facing this November... when hundreds of thousands of Xbox Live subscribers come up for renewal, and the hook MS was hoping would bring them all back for another year (Halo 2) will still be a few months off. It's an interesting read, with some fun speculation about how this will end up being GOOD for fans... but this particular line stood out (in relation to games that might 'fill in' for Halo/Halo 2 and keep people subscribed):
"Counter-Strike's good," said Mike Wallace of UBS Warburg, "but it's not Halo."
I find that to be an astounding quote, given what Counter-Strike has done to the genre of online gameplaying in the last few years. Thanks to Noah "migraineboy" Brimhall for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 02:20:46 UTC) (permalink)
Multiplatform Halo
Thanks to strato99l, who pointed out an April 1 story that we missed. Xbox Evolved has an 'interview' with Alex Seropian, in which he discloses that Halo 2 will be multiplatform, with versions for both the Playstation 2 and Gamecube to follow the Xbox version. The biggest mistake here is using Seropian as the interviewee... true Bungie fans remember that he left Bungie last summer to spend more time with his family. A fun read, anyway!
