The toughest job you'll ever love
...wait, that's the Peace Corps. Never mind. It's Friday... so it's time for a Halo PC Weekly Update. This week, it looks like Sketch is doing the writing, instead of Michel Bastien - Michel is too busy helping get the game finished, and Sketch needed a break from playing Halo PC online, anyway. In fact, the update is mostly a recap of what worked (and didn't work) for him in gameplay. Get jealous, or file away the knowledge for future use... but whatever you do, go read it.

He's gonna get SOOO wet...
New comic over at Halobabies.net... the Warthog Jump theme continues. Man, I feel sorry for 'Yomama... or whatever his name is. (mrsmiley pointed this out in our forum.) (Louis Wu 22:23:49 UTC) (permalink)
PC beta movie update
Eep - forgot to put this up earlier. Dan Chosich's Halo PC Beta footage (discussed here) has been moved around a bit. Currently, there are two mirrors each for the QuickTime and Windows Media Player versions:
- QuickTime (33 mb) at files.bungie.org and rampancy.net
- WMP7 (15 mb) at the Junkyard and files.bungie.org
If you haven't gotten a copy yet, grab it now... it's nicely filmed. (Louis Wu 21:21:39 UTC) (permalink)
Danger Canyon Shots at MS site
Continuing on their one-new-map-a-week schedule, Microsoft's Official Halo PC site has put up 5 new screenshots in the Multiplayer section, this time of Danger Canyon. You can get a good sense for the scale of the map, if you didn't have it already... take a look! Thanks to quickfire for pointing it out. We've gone ahead and added these to our Screenshots database, simply because we just brought it up to date yesterday, and I'd hate to begin getting behind so soon...

The Countdown is on!
Gearbox's Project page, which was offline for a while this morning, is back up with a new screenshot (feel sorry for the Blue Base)... and a countdown of remaining work items left on Halo PC (before it can go gold). Total at the moment: 146. (That's not very much; I remember Oni's bug tracker had over 3000 items in it a week before it went gold. They weren't all bugs... but they were things that needed to be addressed.) Woohoo! Thanks to Sedgr for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 18:58:13 UTC) (permalink)
Me llamaron Lopez - La Pasado
Red vs Blue Episode 17 has been posted for Sponsors; it's pretty bitter, but in a funny way. Effects rock. Pay 'em the lousy 5 bucks and get it now, instead of waiting until Sunday (and then sending us email that we've forgotten to put up a Red vs Blue post for the week). C'mon... you know you want to.

But when are they releasing the Overshield model?
Whoa. Buy a Halo action figure, get a free Active Camouflage Master Chief from Joyride. (Supplies are limited - and free means $5 for processing... but still!) Thanks to sirBoB for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 10:58:53 UTC) (permalink)
GTA: Vice Earthcity.
The GTA series of One One Se7en wraps up today... isn't that ghost a little big for him? (Louis Wu 04:53:06 UTC) (permalink)
And the clips keep coming
More movies - both free (streaming) and pay (downloadable) from IGN PC; 8 clips of Halo PC multiplay. A couple are pretty big suckers... check 'em out! Again, thanks to KookyBastard for noticing. (Louis Wu 04:47:38 UTC) (permalink)
