Fans rock. For lots of reasons.
It took a LONG time, and a LOT of help from Warbow and Free at Last (who did all the real gruntwork)... but the Miscellaneous Section is finally up-to-date. (Well, almost. There were a couple of things yesterday that should probably go in it... but they're not local yet.) Some of the search functionality has been improved, as well - if you know you read about something cool and it's not in any other section... this is the place to look. (The Dialogue Databank? It's in the HBO Prime section. And so on.) Whew! 50 new items, in 8 months. That's a lotta stuff! (Louis Wu 21:04:05 UTC) (permalink)
Video games as a way of life
SketchFactor has posted some impressions from a fan who was at the CPL 2003 Summer Event - an inspiring read. Swing by b.net and take a look! (Louis Wu 20:16:10 UTC) (permalink)
Die Schlacht Um Reach
Tocki, of Halo Orbit, points out an exclusive at their site - information about the German version of the 'Fall of Reach' novel. There's a cover pic, a release date, more. Stop by if you've been waiting for this! (Louis Wu 17:19:17 UTC) (permalink)
Get On Top
C.C.R. and Spartaco have put together a movie showing how to get all the vehicles on top of a Blood Gulch base. It's 2:47 long, 10.4 mb large, in WMP7 format. They're hosting it themselves at Suite904. If you've had trouble getting vehicles on top of the bases, you might want to grab this. (Louis Wu 14:52:32 UTC) (permalink)
Halo cover art - revisited
Four new Halo Cover concepts came in in the past week - one front cover, and 3 front-and-back combos. You'll find them all in our Cover Art Contest section (they're the last entries on the page). One of them isn't even Halo 2 - it's Halo 1.5. Take a look! (Louis Wu 11:55:36 UTC) (permalink)
You run faster than your mascara!
11 new dialogue snippets from Captain Spark for the Dialogue Databank. The man is a treasure trove - 416 of the 554 snippets currently in the collection have come from him - and they're almost invariably clean (minimal background noise, good capture). Enjoy these!

Never Going Back.
Once again, Stuntmutt is slighted by my busy schedule. Yesterday's One One Se7en didn't get posted properly. I blame Cortana. (You have to blame SOMEONE, right?) (Louis Wu 08:29:49 UTC) (permalink)
