The Megg: Official Closure
In late March, an unofficial probe into some comments made by Pallor became what is now known as 'The Megg Hunt' - a community feeding frenzy that eventually involved hundreds (thousands?) of Halo fans, an attempt to discover an easter egg placed in Halo specifically for Meg by her boyfriend, a designer on the Halo team. It got ugly before it got solved... but solved it got. A few days ago, some folks with access to modded xboxes and hacked copies of Halo found some clues that pointed to the location of the Megg... and the rest, as they say, was history. Today, Meg has written up a full history of the search, including the steps required to see it for yourself (and a movie to help you along). Zip on over to Subnova for all the details. (Be gentle; this information is being posted in a lot of places. If you have trouble seeing the page, try again later.) (Louis Wu 21:12:09 UTC) (permalink)
Richard Simmons? No way.
Hart points out a quiz he's created at Quizilla; What Weapon Are You? Take the test, and find out! (Louis Wu 20:14:14 UTC) (permalink)
Doggin' the tags
And again... there's ANOTHER of the Dogtags sets up for sale on eBay; this one currently sits at just under $15 (much better than the $71 the last one closed at), auction closes in 2 days, but the seller has no history at all. Caveat emptor... and thanks to The_Unseen for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 20:00:08 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: It's not just for videogame players any more.
Wow. Halo: The Flood has shown up on Publisher's Weekly's Mass Market Bestseller's List (number 11)! Wow. More details over at Bungie Sightings. Thanks to poenadare for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 17:15:43 UTC) (permalink)
Movies DB up-to-date
The last time the Movies database here at HBO was updated was mid-March - about 5 weeks ago. As of today, the 22 movies released since then have been added to the database. Total number of movies is up to 231; it's getting to be an unweildy list. Time to rethink the organization, maybe... (Louis Wu 15:21:36 UTC) (permalink)
Now THEM'S some expensive tags.
We forgot to get back to this last week... but the Halo Dog Tags we mentioned on eBay a while back sold a week ago for $71. Ouch! (Louis Wu 13:11:02 UTC) (permalink)
OXM info spreads
At least two big websites have picked up the info available in the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, and have made some of it available in text form. Eurogamer fairly credits OXM as its source... Computer and Video Games doesn't. ("Details have been released..." yeah, well, it's terrible to actually NAME a competitor...) If you haven't downloaded the scans (good for you!), you can get a good sense of what's in store at this stage by reading these articles. Thanks to Ciarán Walsh, Harry Al-Shakarchi, and Nathan Drews for the heads-up. Ups, even. (Louis Wu 12:52:46 UTC) (permalink)
