Rumors and Innuendo
Finn digs deep into the Halo Story Page mailbag, and pulls out a healthy dose of speculation and analysis. He also sheds some light on one of the comments made recently in the mini-Interview with Eric Nylund we posted yesterday. Those of you whose copies of First Strike were NOT eaten by dogs... get to work! (Louis Wu 11:47:00 UTC) (permalink)
Laugh? I Thought I'd Never Start.
One One Se7en continues to bring in guest comedians. Improvement? You decide. (I'm waiting for Robin Williams to call.) (Louis Wu 11:41:39 UTC) (permalink)
Why There Are No Ropes On UNSC Ships
Halo: Resolution looks at a potential problem with a half-ton of armor... (Louis Wu 11:35:22 UTC) (permalink)
Erraticus Stupendicus Revisited
Oops - another lost one. Last week, we mentioned a comic that had been started (but never finished) by elmatto. It was hosted on Freewebs, though, and bandwidth ran out soon after we mentioned it. We've put up a local copy of the strips themselves, with the permission of the artist - if you didn't catch them then, go catch them now! (Louis Wu 11:30:37 UTC) (permalink)
Not Your Best Friend...
Looks like we managed to miss last week's EchoFourNineteen at 343GS.com - it, too, is taking shots at multiplayer lag. (Check the Downloads section.) (Louis Wu 11:19:49 UTC) (permalink)
Satisfy your Grunty Shirtlessness
This was noticed on our forum on Monday... and posted on Bungie.net yesterday, but I guess I just forgot to put it up. The Bungie Store is selling a new Grunt t-shirt; it's a nice grey (though I'd LOVE to see it in a long-sleeved version). (Louis Wu 11:03:25 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Skins for Tribes 2
CENOBITE has popped up in our news before - he's released Halo-related Tribes skins, and submitted a pretty interesting piece to the Pillar of Art contest last year. He's back - with a COMPLETE set of Halo skins for Tribes 2. You can see pieces of the skins in this forum thread at the Skinners Guild, and download the whole package (just under 5 mb). (If you like his work, and play Tribes 2, go ahead and take a look at Starsiege 2845, a Tribes: Vengeance mod. He's a texture artist on the team.) (Louis Wu 10:58:43 UTC) (permalink)
New Screen - No Fun?
3Suns points out a writeup of last week's Halo 2 announcement and new screenshot over at Computer and Video Games - there's no information there that hasn't been covered on a few dozen sites by now, but the last paragraph is interesting:
[...] Bungie has also dipped into its vault and pulled out the first ever screenshot from the sequel's multiplayer mode. We're, erm, sure it's a lot more interesting to play than it looks.
I guess they're unhappy that it's barren... (Louis Wu 10:50:29 UTC) (permalink)
Psyrixx under lights
The Junkyard has turned the Spotlight on Robert Sogomonian, better known as Psyrixx, of Psyjnir.org. Swing by to read what makes this guy tick. (Be aware that although it looks like psyjnir.org is finally coming back online, most of the internal links aren't working at the moment.) (Louis Wu 10:43:54 UTC) (permalink)
