More pretty pictures
SketchFactor spread a little love on the fans, in the form of three HUGE (1920x1440) screenshots, in tif format; you can find 'em in this forum post. The first two are 6 and 8 mb, respectively, and uncompressed; the last one is a bit banded, but only 1.4 mb. All three are worth grabbing, if you want some gorgeous screenshots to turn into Wallpaper, or something. (Louis Wu 19:19:17 UTC) (permalink)
That article thing...
Rams, head muckety-muck over at Battleground: Halo, has written what he calls a 'bi-monthly staple of BGH' - another edition of the 'Rams Report'. In this one, he looks at Dave Mertz's resignation, Mac Halo, Sapien's release status, and One One Se7en, a strip he likens to 'two rabbits left unattended over Christmas break.' Read it all with a grain (or 12) of salt. (Louis Wu 13:30:28 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Tourney today on GameSpy Arcade
Jamirus99 points out (well, sort of) that Gamespy is hosting the second of three parts of a Halo tournament to win an Alienware Aurora PC. The top scorer in today's matchup goes on to the finals on December 18. You need GameSpy Arcade to connect, and Halo PC (obviously). Stop by and see if there's still space!

AYBE II - It's On, Baby.
I can't say I'm thrilled with the subtitle, but the event itself has me all aflutter. Blackstar has put up a news post (and a trailer) for Are You Big Enough II, a lanfest planned for Summer 2004 in Andover, MA. Are You Big Enough (the original) was held LAST summer, and featured an enormous 40 foot projection screen for playing Halo on. The trailer is 22.4 mb, in mpeg-4 format (divx-encoded), and shows off Blackstar's mad moviemaking skillz... Thanks to Alexis for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 10:07:11 UTC) (permalink)
The Platform Wars...
Mac Halo is shipping today. (It should be in stores by Monday, at the latest.) randompro42's Guest One One Se7en, then, is airing at an appropriate time. (We aren't condoning platform bigotry - and neither is randompro, from what we can see. notice that large bite mark...) (Louis Wu 09:15:02 UTC) (permalink)

I get his gun!
Whoa. I want one. It's not plushy... but I want one. SketchFactor posted a note to Bungie.net about some preliminary work being done on Grunt action figures. They'll be part of Wave 4, due out next spring. Theres an uncolored closeup... and some early color ideas. Gimme Gimme Gimme! (Louis Wu 02:33:04 UTC) (permalink)
