You might recognize a name near the end of the list - a name not normally associated with Fan Fiction. Let's say he brings the same dry wit to writing that he does to his art. (Louis Wu 21:26:39 UTC) (permalink)
MacAddict reviews Halo
Blackstar points out that the March 2004 issue of MacAddict magazine contains a nice review of Mac Halo. It got 5 bullets ('Awesome' - I miss the Max days of 'Freakin' Awesome', but what can you do?) and does something very few other reviews have done - it adds spoiler-laden pics and descriptions of the later game elements. We'll post this once it's off the shelves. (Louis Wu 15:17:16 UTC) (permalink)
Range... 20 yards.
Today's Calvin and Halo is from Warbow - and I'm tempted to get away from this computer and go outside. Really. (Louis Wu 15:12:55 UTC) (permalink)
Technical Difficulties.
Today's Guest One One Se7en comes from SHARPE - and looks at hardware incompatibilities. If you ask me, them Covenant are pretty silly... (Louis Wu 15:10:18 UTC) (permalink)
More Lanfest stuff
Dan Chosich has updated his Tetraboxing reminiscences with a writeup, to accompany his movie. Looks like today's Dan's birthday, too - Happy Birthday, Dan! Update: Blood, as well, has updated his content - there's now a text writeup to go with his pictures on Bloodgulch.com. (Louis Wu 15:07:20 UTC) (permalink)
Halo may be cut from CPL summer event
The Cyberathlete Professional League is threatening to cancel the Halo portion of its Extreme World Championships 2004, to be held this summer in Texas. Angel Munoz, president of the league, sent out an email to registrants warning that if registration didn't pick up by Friday, February 13, they would cancel the $50,000 Halo tournament. The admission discount period has been extended until that point; $60/gamer for the 5-day event will increase to $80/gamer after the 13th. Thanks to synide, of Cooked Gamers, via Rampancy.net for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 15:03:19 UTC) (permalink)
RvB on G4's Pulse
tsudico points out that Red vs Blue is on Pulse on G4TV this week. Next air date is today, 2 pm. (Louis Wu 09:43:52 UTC) (permalink)
The Bungie Pentathlon Writeup
Yesterday afternoon, Frankie posted a writeup of the Bungie Pentathlon, an event that takes place annually and pits the employees against one another in mortal combat, divided among seniority lines. Frank brings his own inimitable style to the writeup, but fails to obscure the fact that his team (the Newbies) got soundly thrashed by everyone else there - in fact, I haven't seen such ownage since the 49ers trounced the Broncos in Superbowl XXIV. We got a lot of mail about this one, but the first note came from Pete Brown. (Louis Wu 09:39:57 UTC) (permalink)
More tidbits... from those who KNOW.
Our Halo Story Page wizards got the pair of Erics, Nylund and Trautmann, to sit down and answer a few questions about the Halo backstory. (I'm pretty sure their methods involved duct tape and a cattle prod.) The result can be found in our Miscellaneous section, to be filed one day on the Interviews page.

Because it's there.
Hehe - people are STILL going where nobody's gone before. Ducain jumped into our forum with a pictorial explanation of a climb he did on Silent Cartographer. I've never seen pics of anyone getting up to that particular spot before. Glad to see folks are STILL exploring! (Louis Wu 01:16:14 UTC) (permalink)
