Under The Influence 1 - Spartan and Hobbes
Stuntmutt begins another series of themed One One Se7en strips; the first pays homage to that master of imagination, Bill Watterson. (Louis Wu 15:53:31 UTC) (permalink)
Wow
Halo: Resolution adds a new... character? Item. Whatever. It's big. (Louis Wu 15:46:37 UTC) (permalink)
The Blackmail List Grows Longer
We've added last Friday's Weekly Bungie Update to the local archive - remember, if you ever need to find that tidbit you sort of remember, it's searchable. (Louis Wu 15:25:29 UTC) (permalink)
Ping discrepancies, explained
Every now and then, I'm reminded why it's so cool that developers visit our boards sometimes. Yesterday, RunningRiot asked a question: how come the ping he measured from his desktop to a particular Halo PC server was lower than the ping reported in-game by that same server? botman, a member of the Halo PC dev team at Gearbox, stopped by this morning to explain the conundrum.

Lego Roundup
Fury Three has done a nice job summing up what's available out there in the Lego world; some of these links have been posted before, but the collection, together, is worth keeping track of. The Pelican he points out is pretty impressive! (Louis Wu 09:58:11 UTC) (permalink)
No HUD, flying camera
Very slick... Xhzjang has released Halo No Hud mod v1.5, with a flying camera; it comes in two pieces. Piece one removes the HUD entirely; piece two turns the Banshee invisible (along with its occupant), making for a flying camera on levels with a Banshee. I just tried it, and it works beautifully! If you're looking for easy no-HUD scenery shots, give this a shot! Thanks to Reppyboyo, who mentioned it in our forum. (Louis Wu 09:10:20 UTC) (permalink)
Movie Starter Guide updated
c0ld vengeance has updated his Movie Starter Guide to include some basic information about recording Halo on a PC or a Mac. (He didn't just do this for a front-page mention... he actually felt that people might NEED this information. No, really.) If you're looking for tools to record Halo on your computer - check the guide! (Louis Wu 02:23:58 UTC) (permalink)
Play that solo!
Whoa, cool. Vicious Circle decided he really liked the guitar solo from Silent Carttographer... so he tabbed it out for guitar. You can view it online, or download it as a Word document (link is on the page). Get to playin'! (Louis Wu 00:40:09 UTC) (permalink)
Dat's a lotta pictures.
Continuing to try and clear out the Wallpaper queue - there are another 20 desktops for you today (25 if you count variants). Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 00:03:56 UTC) (permalink)
Homefront to let you fight in space
Interesting. The team from Homefront, the Battlefield 1942 mod, is working on a space map, called Alpha Centauri. Battle will take place on a pair of capital ships, and the asteroid field between them. Sounds like fun! There's a Q&A session about the map over at the main Battlefield 1042 site. Thanks to Ecko, at Battleground: Halo, for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 00:03:07 UTC) (permalink)
