Make Wallpaper, Win Halo
Halo Bunker is running a contest; come up with the 'sickest halo pc desktop image'. First and Second Prize winners will get copies of Halo PC, Third Prize will get Halo for Xbox. Deadline is October 10. Visit the site for more details. Thanks to [[[-X-]]] for the heads-up on our forum. (Louis Wu 18:45:22 UTC) (permalink)
Halo site roundup
A bunch of new clans/websites to mention: Baptized by Fire is a clan involved in many games. Halo is now on its 'Future Games' list, and they'll be adding it soon. Halo Center is a full fansite, with sections for Halo (PC and Mac) and Halo 2; it's part of Ogre's Network. And The Scorpion Warriors are a Halo clan that's recruiting at the moment (they mostly play on Xbox, but they're looking at the PC version). Check 'em ALL out! (Louis Wu 14:00:25 UTC) (permalink)
Cookie weirdness...
Sorry, folks. You may have noticed that your spoiler settings reverted recently to 'No Spoilers' - though you hadn't done anything about them. This is due to the September 30th, 2003 expiration date that cookie held. Silly me. It's been reset (to December 31, 2004 - we'll figure out if things need to change before that date arrives); in the meantime, simply hit the 'Change this!' link above to reset your spoiler cookie. (You may have to run it through twice; the first time resets the date, the second time the cookie grabs. It seems to vary by browser; when your banner shows green on the main page, all is well.)

Only Following Orders.
Today's One One Se7en explores the better part of valor. Or something. (Louis Wu 01:29:34 UTC) (permalink)
Donut or Bagel? Oh, wait, that's a different site...
Gah. I thought I could get away with not posting this... but there seem to be a lot of Gamespy fans among you. The current Gamespy Grudge match (visible on the bottom left of their home page) is between Halo's Master Chief and Half-Life's Gordon Freeman. Go vote. At the moment, MC's getting his butt kicked. First heads-up for this goes to jabond102, about 24 hours ago. (Louis Wu 01:28:35 UTC) (permalink)
A Strange, Strange World
Fuzzy has altered the release schedule of Halo: Resolution; it's now going to come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Therefore, Episode 2 is up now - it's called 'A Strange, Strange World', and it takes care of a problem I'd very much like to deal with in this manner... (Louis Wu 00:57:50 UTC) (permalink)
Reviews out the yin-yang
The next round of reviews have come out: Games Domain, ActionTrip, Gaming Nexus, Homelan Fed, and PC Arena. Lots of screenies. Lots of 'it's fun', lots of 'it needs big iron'. Thanks to Blue's News for the links. (Louis Wu 00:18:23 UTC) (permalink)
