Nice lines, baby
Wow - now THAT'S a slick-looking Warthog. quaglinoman, over at the Halomods forums, has posted a TRON-inspired warthog (the original movie, not the recent game) - and it looks great. Check it out! (Thanks to TURBO for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 15:07:32 UTC) (permalink)
Goodbye, CN
John Kedrowski pointed out the sad news that CobaltNova is hanging it up. No more Halo for Emil... he's closing the doors. (Louis Wu 14:50:23 UTC) (permalink)
The Weapon of Choice in Halo 2?
Stuntmutt has provided the world with a bonus movie today - it weighs in at 552k, and it shows off what might just be the most powerful weapon we'll see against certain enemies. Check out Pump Action! (Louis Wu 11:54:34 UTC) (permalink)
IRC aid for mIRC users
Our Homelan-sponsored IRC channel has become its own little community - something that many realized would happen. It's a place for forum regulars and irregulars alike, along with visitors from other sites and the odd (and I do mean odd) Bungie employee to come and hang out; in general, it's a friendly place. We had a problem a little while ago with a rather persistent troll, and the result was that we muted the channel; in order to speak, you have to be 'voiced'. Setting people up for automatic voice (given by the channel server as you enter the channel) is easy to do - but requires that your nickname is registered. (There's information on how to do this on our IRC Info page.) This is all well and good... but it turns out that many IRC clients neglect to 'Identify' the user automatically - so the server isn't sure it's really you, and the autovoice doesn't work. One of the worst offenders is mIRC, a popular Windows-based client. Setting up Auto-Identify is a bit obscure - so Nick has gone ahead and made a short video (1.8 mb) showing how to do it. If you use mIRC, and you're tired of pestering channel operators for voice so that you can speak... check this out! (Louis Wu 11:40:56 UTC) (permalink)
If You Want Something Done Right... Kill Cortana First
And because too what fun is text without pictures, we have today's Guest One One Se7en - Jillybean threatens to take over the place. After that last post, i've half a mind to let her. (Louis Wu 11:31:52 UTC) (permalink)

Gah - I hope that's the last of it for the weekend... luckily, you've got two days to read all this. In the future, I'd appreciate it if folks would keep their handles to a minimum - post by your real name, or post by a nickname... but don't post by both, it makes a total mess of my front page. Thanks! (Louis Wu 11:28:02 UTC) (permalink)
The Modeling Continues
I missed the "Bushwacker" yesterday - I hope this doesn't kill Revenant_SP001's Tripod account. (If it does, I grabbed a copy - let us know.) (Louis Wu 09:50:05 UTC) (permalink)
Having Fun with the Chaingun
Today's REAL Bungie Weekly Update is over at TeamXbox - and it's a doozy. Halo 2 PIC! Okay... it's just a prototype of the Joyride action figure... but it's way cool-looking. There's also lots of info about the week's progress; ambient life, new control schemes, lightmaps, you name it. Go read! (Louis Wu 01:32:08 UTC) (permalink)
