Spread the Love
To show his appreciation for the astounding goodness that is the Halo 2 spread in the Official Xbox Magazine this month, bikeman704 triggered the Megg... and added a bit. Cool. (Hehe... he's still got four bullets left...) (Louis Wu 21:32:32 UTC) (permalink)

Evil Comedy Geniuses Need Halo Love, Too
Nice find by aaron charles - a sizeable writeup about a bunch of (old) guys who get together regularly to play Halo - in LA Weekly. (It's the second story down, titled 'War Games: Playing the First Battle of the 26th Century'.) Beaten by Chinese children... but back for more. (Louis Wu 21:02:36 UTC) (permalink)
They write, and write, and write...
The tireless grunts at the Halo Story Page have given you even MORE content to chew on. There's now a HSP FAQ... and 'Halothon', an addendum to the Marathon Connections page. (It's not really story-related, but it's not really eggs, either; it was homeless, so Finn gave it a home.) Read and be wiser. (Louis Wu 20:36:02 UTC) (permalink)
Art Asylum? Some other asylum, mb...
A new Halo-related comic at Subnova today - posted last night, but I couldn't get to it right away. For what it's worth, Deimos is a nicer guy than that. (Pallor, now... Pallor might have done that.) (Louis Wu 20:33:39 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Orbit - Now With Marshmallows!
Xerxes writes to let us know that Halo Orbit just got a new layout - it loads three times as fast as the old one, and includes a news search function, among other new tidbits. (Anyone paying attention knows how much I love news search functions, and realizes Halo Orbit just got 14 brownie points for this.) Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 20:11:48 UTC) (permalink)
On the floor, at the fanfest - E3 and PC Halo
The boys at Battleground: Halo got a note from David Mertz, the lead level designer for Halo PC. Go read it on their front page (or at this more permanent location) for details on their preparations for E3. (Louis Wu 12:12:27 UTC) (permalink)
Poll Smash.
gd points out that there's a new poll over at Gamespot: 'Which of these highly-anticipated first-person shooters are you most looking forward to?' Halo 2 currently has 42% of nearly 8000 votes... but you can help make sure it doesn't lose that edge. (Louis Wu 09:01:43 UTC) (permalink)
Wow, that's a lot of blood.
Hehe... for another take on the OXM Halo 2 scan issue, check out Penny Arcade's comic yesterday. (More info is available in the news, as well.) Thanks to Ross Mills for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 08:41:16 UTC) (permalink)
When Good AIs Go Bad
A sad, sad story... go read the tale of the AAARDP. And let this be a lesson to you! (A lesson about what, I'm not sure.) (Louis Wu 08:33:07 UTC) (permalink)
Halo - The Card Game
Whoa. Ceri Thomas has created a Halo card game - and at first blush, it's pretty dang high quality. Rules (and cards) come in the form of a 2.2 mb PDF; download it, print it on cardstock, and cut it up. I haven't actually played it... but the rules are pretty clear, and seem to be well thought-out. A forum post has been pretty positive so far, and has a mirror for the pdf - at Halo-Game, in France. Check it out. (Louis Wu 01:40:21 UTC) (permalink)
Ode to a Shotgun
Slothboy let us know about 'Ash vs. The Covenant', his tribute to the Halo WAST-M. Check it out - timing is QUITE good. (Format is mpeg-4; QuickTime 6 will open it, but I'm not sure about other programs.) 9.2 mb, 1:26 long. Two thumbs up. Minor spoilers, for anyone keeping track. (Louis Wu 01:15:16 UTC) (permalink)
