Music, music - you can never get enough music
Big update on music.psyjnir.org today; the new Halo material includes a pair of Red vs Blue pieces by Grasshopper - including one done specifically for an episode that only appeared on a CGW magazine CD. First we've heard of that! Check out these bits, and many more, on MPO! (Louis Wu 20:55:15 UTC) (permalink)
Hey - I know that guy!
Lophan points out an E3 teaser article on CNN.com - and dang if that pic doesn't look familiar! Ooh...next week can't come fast enough. Update: dang, this is the CNN article mentioned by GhaleonEB on our forum two days ago... I'm slipping. Thanks, Dean. (You still suck.) (Louis Wu 19:30:11 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Playable at E3?
Wow. Interesting if true - but as of now unconfirmed. GamesRadar is reporting that Halo 2 will be playable at E3 - a two-level demo. There'll also be boatloads of new media. Droolin' already... thanks, Milamber! (Louis Wu 18:08:44 UTC) (permalink)
Loaded for Evolution
Rampancy.net found ANOTHER Alex Seropian interview - that guy must be hoarse by now. R.net snagged the two most quoteworthy lines in the interview, but there IS a tidbit unmentioned - we've known from previous interviews that Wideload's first game will be based on the Halo engine, and we know it won't be a first-person-shooter... now we know it's an Action title. I'm sure we'll learn more as the smooth and creamy (i.e. not piebald) Seropian talks to other interviewers. (Wow, that was worse than ANYTHING Stuntmutt's ever pulled.)

Tutorial Map pics
Darksage has posted 17 pics of the tutorial level he made using the HEK. It contains what Gearbox suggested - and a little bit more. He points out that HUDless pics are easy now; just enable Devmode, execute 'show_hud 0', and then 'cheat_all_weapons' and pick up a gravity rifle. Voila - no more HUD. He'd like to bring attention to this shot as a nice example. (Louis Wu 17:52:29 UTC) (permalink)
BGH The Comic
Eep - Battleground: Halo started its own comic a few days ago, and I missed it. Check out the lives of the BGH staffers... or something. (Louis Wu 17:47:35 UTC) (permalink)
The Great Caboose Demands an Audience
Red vs Blue has posted Episode 33, 'An Audience of Dumb', for sponsors; it's rather large. (78.7 mb large, in QuickTime - it's 7:45 long.) Some weird twists... and the nastiest Mexican Sasquatch music this side of Oaxaca. Thanks go to KP for noticing. (Louis Wu 15:37:46 UTC) (permalink)
Worst. Line. Ever.
And rounding out the day's comics, Tina Leyk takes a shot at what is probably Cortana's stupidest piece of dialogue in the entire game, in a new Fur-Lo comic. (If it's hard to find on the page, here's a direct link, maybe it'll get me to finish coding the search stuff.) (Louis Wu 10:49:17 UTC) (permalink)
And You Thought It Was Because Guard Duty's Boring...
Stuntmutt, unwilling to let the MC go an entire week without corn, explains those curled-up grunts in today's One One Se7en. (Louis Wu 10:38:16 UTC) (permalink)
Friday Fiction
Nineteen pieces in the Fan Fiction update today; more than a couple are poems, and six are part of a series. See what you can get through before the next one! (Louis Wu 10:31:28 UTC) (permalink)
Now THAT Is A Tough Game
I hear today's Halo: Resolution is based on a true story. (Louis Wu 10:19:59 UTC) (permalink)
A Friend in Need
Halo Babies gets onto a real plot - look out! (Louis Wu 10:17:55 UTC) (permalink)
