More artwork
The Wallpaper queue, as well, was way, way behind. I didn't do any sorting on this; right now, I'm posting the oldest 20 desktops that made our basic guidelines. (I tossed a couple that were simply too basic to warrant addition - sorry folks.) These 20 are now available in the Wallpaper section. Some are quite good. (The queue contains more than 40 remaining - we'll be doing updates like this every couple of days until they're all up.) (Louis Wu 18:53:31 UTC) (permalink)
Artwork - finally
I'd like to preface this post with a huge thank-you to the folks who have submitted content to us and have waited patiently for it to appear; the past couple of months have been pretty rough in that respect. Today marks the beginning of a turning point, I hope... I'm hoping to have the Miscellaneous Art and Wallpaper queues cleared by this time next week. (I can't release all the backlog at once; there's simply too much of it, we couldn't handle the load.) I was going through the Misc Art queue this morning, and I noticed that while there were dozens of pieces, a few stood out; they were more than modifications of existing screenshots or hastily drawn sketches, they were pieces that showed the care taken to create them, and the love of the game that inspired them. (This is NOT to say that the remaining pieces are a waste of time, or are shoddily done - it's just that with this big of a pool, I didn't want the outstanding pieces to be buried.) I'm therefore breaking with tradition and posting what I consider to be the 10 most impressive Miscellaneous Art pieces in the queue, rather than going in chronological order (as we usually do). From this point forward, we'll revert to our normal pattern... but right now, I wanted to show off these 10 pieces. Enjoy. (Louis Wu 17:29:35 UTC) (permalink)

Chew a bone long enough, the marrow comes out
So... way back in February, the Halo Story page mentioned a clue tossed out by Eric Trautmann about stuff he hid in Halo: First Strike. Periodically, over the past 2 and a half months, folks have offered up guesses about what he might have been talking about... and he has invariably answered 'Cold'. Until now. Exogenesis ran into him at a public gathering, and finagled a bit more information from him... and it was enough for Anton P. Nym to give the first guess that received a 'Warm' response from Eric. Way to go, guys! That should be enough for the more rabid fans out there to nail down what Eric was hinting at... (Louis Wu 03:36:46 UTC) (permalink)
Site improvements
Took a little while, because I'm learning PHP slowly... but the News By Day feature is back; hitting those arrows next to the date will once again let you view older news one day at a time. Apologies for the delay. Next up... Fan Fiction. (I hope.) (Louis Wu 00:29:12 UTC) (permalink)
