Pitchford Holds Forth
The Randy Pitchford interview we mentioned yesterday has come to pass... and gawd, is it full of information. Everything from how Gearbox got the job to build Halo PC in the first place, to how they're getting around some of the stickiest problems in the conversion, to what WASN'T hard... wow. Go read this. Thanks to TankRamp, of the venerable Battleground: Halo, for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 19:08:31 UTC) (permalink)
And, of course, ff
I guess even the Fan Fiction writers got caught up in the E3 content craze - there are only four stories for you today:
- True Purpose(4), by Frensa Geran
- ONI Black Ops Part Five, by Havok
- Foresaken Forefathers Part Two: Righteous Rebirth, by Havok and AlphaBravo343
- Halo 2: The Wraiths part two: New Friends, by Wiley Kimball
Go read 'em, before there's more... (Louis Wu 11:13:30 UTC) (permalink)
Backlog, continued
And 8 art pieces for you... check the Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 11:04:39 UTC) (permalink)
I want that hog.
So much Halo 2/Halo PC goodness... we've neglected the staple parts of this site for too long. First up, desktop images. There are 5 of 'em for you. Check the Wallpaper section. (There are some real classics in there...) (Louis Wu 10:32:03 UTC) (permalink)
You like your screenies big, and clean?
Nick has posted the full 1280x960 un-watermarked versions of the 6 Halo 2 shots released yesterday on our forum. (ShackNews put them up yesterday in this format, as well - it's nice when sites are willing to distribute press material without branding it or altering the size...)

PC Halo Gameplay Footage
IGN has put up 8 clips, over 40 megabytes worth of material, of gameplay in PC Halo, including views of new maps, and the use of the fuel rod cannon. As of right now, it's not Insider-protected. Go check 'em out! (Thanks to Bullseye for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 09:10:01 UTC) (permalink)
DOH! is right.
In a stunningly sudden series of events, another Halo egg has been found... all in a day, sort of. Read the story on the Eggs page. A weird symbol, noticed 17 months ago, brought up again and again over the past year and a half... and then BOOM - identified (well, almost) by a threesome of Bungie employees in the span of a couple of hours. A nice sideline while the madness of E3 swirls around us! (Louis Wu 02:03:51 UTC) (permalink)
The link that wouldn't die
While we were sleeping - er, crashing, Bungie put up another desktop on their Wallpapers page. (Last image on the page.) You know... that sure looks like S'pht writing in the background, to me... (Louis Wu 01:28:28 UTC) (permalink)
It's a bird... it's a plane... it's MASTER DOG!
Batfink has created an MC model - and applied it as a dog, as well as the standard shape. Pretty funny stuff! (Louis Wu 01:08:35 UTC) (permalink)
