Halo Armor - almost ready!
Wow. We got mail from Webshift, one of a team of what looks to be pretty talented folks. They've got a site called 'NightMare Armor', and if you click on the Gallery link, you'll see some astounding pics of Halo armor. There's a Store link (currently empty), which suggests they might be selling this stuff before too long... Whoa. (Louis Wu 22:07:51 UTC) (permalink)
External Updates Help Halo - on both platforms
Inky writes to say that the 10.3.2 update to MacOSX (released yesterday) cleared up some framerate jerkiness he was experiencing with Halo on a tricked-out G5. Good deal! On the PC side, ATI just released their Catalyst 3.10 drivers for Radeon cards on WinXP machines... and they fix the black-box-when-zooming-with-IR problem that I (and many others) experienced. Goodness for everyone! (Louis Wu 17:01:41 UTC) (permalink)

Gamespy says HaloPC is Top 10 material
Gamespy has posted the results of its 2003 Game of the Year Awards... and Halo took 6th in the top 10 PC Games. Not too shabby! (Thanks to Pico for pointing it out.) (Louis Wu 14:04:10 UTC) (permalink)

In The End, they got in.
Apparently, Linkin Park visited Bungie last week... and someone was around to take pictures, because it got posted on Xbox.com. According to Evil Otto, a couple of them were at the Fanfest in Santa Monica last year, too. Thanks to cubanB for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 11:33:35 UTC) (permalink)
