Pitchford talks to CVG
Computer and Video Games has interviewed Randy Pitchford; the man's amazingly consistent. (I mean that in a good way - I HATE it when what I hear, off the record, from someone and what I read in a public interview don't match up.) There's some interesting stuff in there - Randy's left the door open for a bot patch, and he's pretty much closed the door on a PC port of Halo 2 (at least as far as he knows)... but mostly it's worth reading because he loves his work, and it shows when he talks about it. There are also 20 new screenshots - mostly Pillar of Autumn and Halo, solo play, but they're awful sharp... Thanks to Dan Chosich for posting a notice in our forum.

HBO's Fanstock Report goes up
Better late than never, right? HBO's official coverage of the Halo PC Fanstock event is now online. It'll be updated over the next several days with screenshots... and it's possible that the text will be tweaked, but it's up now. Hopefully, it'll provide you with a little info that didn't make it into other writeups. (Louis Wu 20:48:12 UTC) (permalink)
E3 Demo Trailer on OXM disc
It's been mentioned several times now, but 2 cents just reminded us that we'd never put it on the front page. The September issue of the Official Xbox Magazine contains the E3 Demo Trailer on its companion DVD; if you haven't seen it in 5.1 Surround Sound goodness, here's your chance!

Happy Landings.
In a record fourth straight day of One One Se7ens (the guest strips are coming fast and furious, so this record might get broken tomorrow), Stuntmutt finishes off the 3-parter started Wednesday. (I'd like to apologize; Stuntmutt submits several strips in series of three, which makes sense, since the strip is posted three times a week. Somewhere back in the early days, I screwed up... and instead of starting on Monday, they start on Wednesday, which wreaks havoc on the continuity. Apologies to everyone.) For those who don't get this one, hit the 'prev' link to see the setup. (Louis Wu 11:28:43 UTC) (permalink)

Yet MORE Fanstock pics...
Dark Helmet has added 13 photos to his Fanstock writeup. I'm starting to feel like a slug... (Louis Wu 01:29:17 UTC) (permalink)
More Fanstock coverage
Forerunners.org sister site Cortana.org, which is positioning itself as a Halo PC Map and Mod Database, will have continuing coverage of the Fanstock event from Steve Campbell. Steve's photos can be found in a Fanstock Photo Gallery over at Rampancy.net - including some photos of the newly remodeled Rocket Hog. (Official pics of this vehicle will be released by Gearbox, in glorious hi-res, in the not-too-distant future... but Steve felt you couldn't wait.) (Louis Wu 00:16:21 UTC) (permalink)
Halo PC Shishkafied
Another Fanstocker heard from: Shishka posts his (rather voluminous) thoughts over at Subnova. Lots o' pictures, lots o' facts... if I don't get something written soon, nobody's gonna read it, because it's all been said before! (Once again - screenshots of the game in action are coming later; we'll all have access to them. Everybody's gonna have updates.) (Louis Wu 00:04:29 UTC) (permalink)
CGI Halo movie of Longest in the works
Mic Fedusenko is working on a CGI Halo movie - a multiplayer match on Longest. It's just at the beginning stages... but if you check out his gallery, you'll see a couple of shots of the work in progress. Should be fun! (Louis Wu 00:01:37 UTC) (permalink)
