Corn, Corn, and more Corn
It's the Se7enth of the month, so it's time for the One One Se7en Archive update... this time, it's light; we have only 17 strips for you. Submitters Stuntmutt and BOLL hog the spotlight; 4 each, accounting for nearly half the total. (BOLL's are animated, though - I think he's got the edge.) (Louis Wu 17:18:31 UTC) (permalink)

Halo links
Lots of built-up Halo links out there - sorry for the delay. (No, these aren't on the Links page yet - please don't write, asking me to get to that. It's a time thing. It'll happen - someday.)

- Operation: Halo (general Halo site)
- Polish Halo Center (Polish Halo Site)
- HaloSverige.nu (Swedish Halo site)

Homefront gets new vehicles
The Homefront mod for Battleground 1942 updated its site recently - there are shots of their Achilles class battleship (quite similar to the Halcyon class that the PoA belongs to), as well as a new fast attack VTOL aircraft. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 14:09:25 UTC) (permalink)
Hey, I think I know that guy...
Tyrian points out that a new screenshot from MechAssault 2, released recently at Gamespot, shows a helmet with a remarkable similarity to our favorite Master Chief... (Louis Wu 13:53:16 UTC) (permalink)
Battle of the modelers
Well, the forum argument isn't very pleasant... but the models are quite nice. Wraith has updated his Covenant Assault Boat model we mentioned a couple of days ago (taking into account a number of the suggestions given originally in the thread), and LordHex has put up his own model - this time bringing life to an early Bungie concept sketch of a Shadow. Now if only they'd get along... (Louis Wu 13:32:53 UTC) (permalink)
It Was as Ripped Off as Pokemon Cards in 1999.
The One One Se7en Archive update will happen a bit later today - but we still have a regular Guest strip for you, this time from MrFluffyPants26. Love that Max Payne flavor... (Louis Wu 13:22:47 UTC) (permalink)
Buy! Buy! Buy!
The newest Subzero Chronicles comic is online today; some of it makes me uncomfortable, but apparently, the premise is based on a real event. Ouch... (Louis Wu 13:19:11 UTC) (permalink)
Where do you go?
MereCatFish has set up a 'Favorite Halo Fan Site' poll - something he's tried before, but this time, he's put in a few safeguards against ballot-stuffing. Go vote for your favorite Halo fansite! (Louis Wu 13:13:57 UTC) (permalink)
Audio Interview with RvB's guS
Clarksbrother has interviewed Gus Sorola, aka guS, a Red vs Blue team member (and the voice of Simmons), for his local TV show 'The Not So Late Show'. It's a 14-minute audio interview, and weighs in at 6.6mb as an mp3. You can find it from 3 mirror sites linked off of The Not So Late Show mirror page - it's worth a download if you're interested in the process of how episodes are created, where the group came from, and other behind-the-scenes fun stuff.

Homelan Opens its doors for HPC server rentals
Ask for info... and ye shall receive. Serpentius, of Homelan, popped into our new IRC channel to point out that Homelan is now renting Halo PC servers through Homelan Xtreme. Private servers start at $90/month (with discounts for longer contracts), and public servers start at $125 a month. You're paying for premium servers... buy with confidence!

POOPS, cutscenes, and schwag, oh my!
A little late for some forumgoers... but Frankie's Weekly Update has been posted; you can find it over on the Battleground: Halo forum. This one's got me pretty stoked - lots and lots of solid progress info. Good stuff on AI, animation, sound design... the works. Go read it! (Louis Wu 00:17:41 UTC) (permalink)
