Mac Halo 1.05 released
MacSoft has released a patch to bring Mac Halo up to v1.05. This fixes a number of graphical glitches - a full list (and download links) can be found in the press release. The download is 3.4 mb. (This is NOT a Custom Edition patch; Westlake is still evaluating that situation.) (Louis Wu 22:34:41 UTC) (permalink)
GI: Halo 2 Game of Show
Not that it should surprise anyone at this point, but Halo 2 just took home another award from E3 - Game Informer voted it Game of Show. Nice one! (Louis Wu 21:57:36 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 page up at Xbox.com
Xbox.com has put together their Halo 2 page; many recent articles have all been linked there for easy access. One you might have missed (because we never posted news about it - we missed it) is an article about the 1000-person-big, nationwide, Microsoft-employee-only Halo 2 alpha test that took place a few months ago. Thanks to rendar for pointing the page out! (Louis Wu 20:36:18 UTC) (permalink)
Clothes make the man (or woman)
Lots of new shirts available at Red vs Blue and its affiliated w00twear site; a new Doc shirt, a special edition Sarge shirt, and a Purple Octopus shirt. Visit RvB for all the details! Thanks to The Salmon Sausage for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 15:29:29 UTC) (permalink)

One One Se7en solves a mystery that nobody even realized needed solving. Can you ask for anything more? (Louis Wu 12:29:20 UTC) (permalink)
They Do With Proper Interest

Halo 2 Demo writeup
Bah. Another missed email. Bongo wrote up a summary of the E3 demo over at Sector 7 yesterday, based on the released movies. Go read again. (Louis Wu 09:51:16 UTC) (permalink)
How Rumors Start
Curll posted a note yesterday on xblGamers explaining the Clan pricing rumor (it was a psych/marketing class project, apparently) - I missed the email until just now. Go read. (Louis Wu 09:48:46 UTC) (permalink)
Nerdstock 2004
Sanchez the Llama reminds us that Nerdstock 2004, a Halo Xbox tourney near Chicago, is coming up fast (June 26) - if you're in driving distance, sign up and go play! (Louis Wu 09:43:17 UTC) (permalink)
Pelican Launching for Fun and Profit
Looks like we missed a contest due to the E3 flood; SEspider is offering some cool Halo 2 action figures (when they come out) to the person who can make a Pelican jump with grenades. Details are in this forum post (with an adjustment of the due date in this post). Give it a shot! (Louis Wu 09:34:07 UTC) (permalink)
Under Cover, Reworked
Inspired by the Halo 2 multiplayer action at E3, Silverbrin has reworked 'Under Cover of Night' from the Halo soundtrack; you can find the results at music.psyjnir.org (6.6 mb, mp3 format). This version contains no audio from the original. Comments can go in this forum thread! (Louis Wu 08:56:45 UTC) (permalink)
Fanfic Deluge
E3 caused the Fan Fiction section to be neglected - after weeding out the duplicates, the unreasonable entries, and combining a couple of insanely short chapters into a single entry (next time I just delete 'em; you can upload 'em again if you can't follow the rules), we're STILL left with 38 new pieces. Go read! (Louis Wu 08:48:51 UTC) (permalink)
New Tina Leyk work
A few days ago, Tina Leyk updated her Furnation site with a new Hunter sketch; we've finally gotten around to adding it to our collection here. (It's at the end of the Unfinished Artwork section.) Thanks to Zeta for first pointing it out. (Tina created the artwork for a shirt worn by a number of Fanfest attendees last week; it rocked. As soon as I can get copies of the files we sent to the printer, I'll post them.) (Louis Wu 08:29:38 UTC) (permalink)
He's just mad cause he got owned.
Frankie has written up his account of the Bungie Fanfest last Thursday - and with the possible exception of seriously slandering yours truly (there was no intentional theft involved - REALLY), it's a great writeup. Especially the mini-interview with ExcreBex. Go read it! (Louis Wu 00:00:04 UTC) (permalink)
