Customizing Multiplayer
dolbex has been hanging out over at the Gearbox forums, and today picked up some interesting Halo PC info from Dave Mertz, Lead Level Designer. Read about it in this forum post! (Louis Wu 21:19:10 UTC) (permalink)
All the colors of the rainbow - and then some
This morning, Visual posted a request on our forum, asking for some hi-res shots of the color-select screen at the beginning of Halo. (You know, where you pick your multiplayer color.) Evil Otto, ever the fan pleaser, dropped off a hi-res TIFF file with all 18 colors inside (along with a pretty dang useful alpha channel). Snag it from our Miscellaneous section - it weighs in at just under 700K, zipped. (Louis Wu 20:50:09 UTC) (permalink)
Jen autographed your WHAT?
Mr. Smiley has been working on a full-blown Bungie documentary (it was mentioned in the recent Fanfest Flashback story at Bungie.net). Now, you can download Episode 0 from Bungie.net. 10.9 mb QuickTime, or 12.3 mb WMP9 - it's not the documentary, but it's a Red vs Blue-style intro to the documentary! Take a look.

What do YOU want to see in a Strategy Guide?
Doug Radcliffe, a freelance writer, is working on Sybex's Official Halo PC Strategy Guide (due out in September), and has posted a request on our forum for feedback on what you, the Halo player, would like to see in a Halo PC Guide. He said he'll be checking the forum for responses... but email is preferred. Now's your chance to get in a vote for coverage of editing tools, or multiplayer strategies... or whatever else you can think of that would make this guide rock. And oh, yeah - he's real. :) (Louis Wu 19:25:13 UTC) (permalink)
Simpsons/Halo wallpaper
Simpsons Rule created a pair of Simpsons-related Halo desktops. They're being hosted by a couple of forumites; you can see a preview of one of them on Lion's Truth and Reconciliation site (bottom of the page), and both are also hosted by guy who doesn't post....too often.

Nasty Way To Go.
The silver lining in the cloud that is my forgetfulness is that occasionally, you get three consecutive days of One One Se7en. (Okay, that's really only gonna happen when I forget to post Fridays and there's Sunday content... so it'll probably never happen again. Enjoy it while you can.) Today's strip finishes up the Unreal Championship series. Still funny, even if not 100% accurate any more. (Louis Wu 16:26:26 UTC) (permalink)

Girl, don't even tell me you've been on this thing all day!
Salon.com has a pretty funny article about Julia Roberts' Halo obsession. Worth a read. (If you're not a Salon.com subscriber, you can watch a 15-second commercial for a daypass, which will let you read the remainder of the article.) Thanks to Robert Reichle for the heads-up.
