Previews out the yin-yang.
Massive Halo PC coverage: Gamers Hell has a preview and 33 new screenshots, GameGossip has a preview (contains 5 screens), and Game Over has a preview (12 screens, but several are taken from the Firing Squad preview last week). Of the three, I'd have to say that the Game Gossip piece has the most meat... but press is press. Thanks to ShackNews for all three links. (Louis Wu 22:25:29 UTC) (permalink)
Put your head between your legs...
And the egg parade continues. Just when you thought there were no more eggs to be found in Halo... c0ld vengeance turned up one under the pilot's seat in the lifepod. Check this forum thread for details. (Louis Wu 20:44:37 UTC) (permalink)

Okay, I want one.
Funky - there's a yellow warthog showing on the Bungie webcam at the moment. (If it's gone by the time you read it, you can see a saved picture here.) Whether this is a customized hog (a standard Joyride hog, repainted by a Bungie employee), or a future offering from Joyride, is unknown at this time. It nicely matches the Hog billboard from the Halo 2 E3 trailer... Nice spotting by Poocho. (Louis Wu 17:01:14 UTC) (permalink)

Is it me, or is it hot in here?
Today's One One Se7en guest strip comes from Germain Couët, normally known around these parts for his Miscellaneous Art and Wallpaper submissions. What's the difference between the Halo, Halo 2, and Halo PC MCs? Hmm... (Louis Wu 13:44:21 UTC) (permalink)

WSD Clan Movie - Frantic BG Gameplay
A few days ago, [WSD]-Porsj popped into our forum to point out a pretty big gameplay movie his clan had posted. Skill level of the contestants is quite good, and so is editing. The movie, titled 'Who? [BBE]Hanneshamlap', weighs in at 46.4 mb, and is in WMV7 format. (There's a QuickTime version available now, too, but I haven't been able to communicate with Porsj to clarify where.) If WSD's site is not running (they use the server to host games, as well), you can grab the movie directly from this link. (Louis Wu 13:24:08 UTC) (permalink)

We had a chance to ask a few questions of Peter Tamte, president of Destineer... his enthusiasm should make Mac users everywhere drool. Go read our Peter Tamte interview now!
