HBO - on Homelan!
It took a little while, but the kinks have been worked out - and HBO is very proud to announce the presence of two more HBO Halo PC dedicated servers! Thanks to Homelan, those looking for the somewhat different flavor of gameplay on the HBO servers (no-shields BC Shotties, anyone?) can find what they crave at Homelan_HBO_East and Homelan_HBO_West, so named because of their geographical location. Try 'em out, see how good the gameplay is; low ping, low lag - these servers rock! (As with other HBO-branded servers, you can see a status report by clicking the link at the top of our main page. We'll be setting up a 32-seat Ventrilo server in the next couple of days, so that players can always jump into voice chat when they want to. Come Play With Us! (And don't forget to let Homelan know that they rock.) (Louis Wu 21:20:40 UTC) (permalink)
Whoa - who's on what side?
Today we have another Miniature Halo for you from SESpider... the plot thickens. So much so, in fact, that he needs your help in advancing it. (Louis Wu 18:52:54 UTC) (permalink)
Yeah, I really should be.
There's a new collection of letters. Argh. (Count Zero 16:59:16 UTC) (permalink)
Legendary in 3 hours?
The community has been abuzz with Bungie's newly released title and for those who have asking for help, your prayers have been answered.
(Ding 16:15:26 UTC) (permalink)Halo 2 Mod updated
Obsidian CZ writes to point out a new build of a Halo 2 mod that's been under development for a while by NiTrOuSoXiDe; it brings a gravity gun, a covenant sniper, SMG, faster warthog, and a powerful plasma cannon (turret) to the game. You can grab a copy from this thread in the Gearbox forums. (The listed server is no longer running this mod, but the mod still works.) (Louis Wu 11:17:13 UTC) (permalink)
I Thought We Outlawed Puns In Episode 15!
Halo: Resolution says... whoa. (Louis Wu 11:11:41 UTC) (permalink)
What's Old Is New Again
(GT)Juggler has posted GT6 - It's a Boy!, the newest in a series of tricks/glitches films. This one is full of really early stunts; grabbing the banshees on AotCR, color glitches, unlimited ammo... I felt like a younger man, watching it. (Well, okay, only a couple of years younger, but...) It's a 33.4 mb 3ivx-encoded MP4; go grab it from HaloGT.com! (Louis Wu 11:09:59 UTC) (permalink)
Pictures at 343GS.com
IXIGhandiIXI points out that over at 343gs.com, there's a new wallpaper in the Downloads section (I find it to be a pretty impressive picture, though I doubt I could ever actually use it as a desktop), and a new Art section has opened up (though only one of the two images shown is actually viewable). Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 10:58:46 UTC) (permalink)
Two for the price of one
Wow, I'm not doing very well; I managed to forget yesterday's Guest One One Se7en strip. Rather than simply skip it, I'm posting it anyway - along with today's main strip, from Stuntmutt. Yesterday's, 'Fr@med', was Guest number 77, and was created by Someone2die... while today's, entitled 'Insult to Injury', might explain why the MC doesn't always take as much care saving those marines as he could...

There's even talk of a sequel?
Finally, after dozens of man-years in development, the long-secret title from Bungie has been revealed!
Behold, the Quest for the Crown!
Yes, this is a spoof!
