Intermittent HPC problem... solved?
Since Halo PC was released, some people have had problems with the game spontaneously dumping them off a server. TURBO posted a solution that worked for him; he had a Linksys router, and once the router's firmware was updated, the problem went away. There is at least one datapoint that suggests this is more than an isolated solution... (Louis Wu 20:30:51 UTC) (permalink)

Halo 2 - One One Se7en Makes It Clear.
Now, I'm not saying Stuntmutt is prescient or anything... but he submitted this One One Se7en Sunday strip without knowing that it would air mere hours after I went to see this play, which actually USED that quote. (My guess is, poor Mr. Rumsfeld will be living that quote down for a LOONNGG time.) Of course, it has the patented Stuntmutt corn spin... wouldn't be One One Se7en without it. For what it's worth, the play was terrible. (Louis Wu 14:44:29 UTC) (permalink)
Rockin'.
Warbow, while disavowing any similarity with the production excesses of One One Se7en, has submitted a Sunday Calvin and Halo for today. I can't even give him a hard time about it, because the sentiment of the strip is so spot-on. (Louis Wu 13:12:01 UTC) (permalink)
Master Chief Suits - now from multiple sources!
For some time, we've been getting astounding material from Chris Bryan - you can see some of it in our Miscellaneous Art section, and you can check out his working Halo 2 Battle Rifle. For the last couple of months, he's been working on a wearable Master Chief suit, and we've finally gotten around to putting up the pictures he's sent. You can find them in our Miscellaneous section. (As he sends more, we'll add to this page.) I wanted to get this stuff posted, because the interest in this sort of thing is rising rapidly, spurred by a recent post about a group called Nightmare Armor, making full body armor that you'll eventually be able to order. They have a helmet coming in the next few days - but the site is constantly being tweaked (nothing like a bit of interest to inspire the web guys :) ), and Webshift has posted an armor strength tidbit to our forum. I think it's fantastic that there are multiple projects like this going on... a testament to the inspiring force of Halo! (Louis Wu 12:51:59 UTC) (permalink)
