Screenshot Quality Control
Boxer's put up another .comic at Subnova. Frankly, I don't get the humor behind this one, but maybe it's just me. (Louis Wu 22:09:37 UTC) (permalink)
Chimp
Just for Halo Custom Edition mapmakers - it looks like there is now a tool to export maps from gmax (and 3ds max, for that matter) to a format that Tool can read and import for Guerilla and Sapien. It's called 'Chimp', and you can thank Baka, at the Gearbox forums, for it. This thread is pretty useful, and the actual download is here (210kb). If you couldn't afford the steep cost of 3ds max, you now have an alternative! (Louis Wu 17:45:58 UTC) (permalink)
At Long Last - Game Informer, May 2004
For all the people waiting patiently for the Halo 2 magazine scans from last month - the wait is over. The June issue of Game Informer magazine hit newsstands today, so we've put up last month's Halo 2 article in our Press Scans area. There's more coming later today, so stay tuned! (Most of the pages are sized for readability without overloading our server - but there was a picture spread on pages 3-4 that was so gorgeous I resized it to fit larger monitors; you might have to play a little with the width.)

Old Red Eyes Is Back.
Today's One One Se7en was actually written a month ago, when Bungie.net unveiled its new design. The queue was so full of hilarious jokes, though, that it had to be put off until now. Hmm... wait, nobody's gonna believe that... okay, we lost it. It got covered up by the deviled ham when we put it back in the fridge. Sorry. (I have a special fondness for this strip because the Beautiful South rocks.) Update: This was supposed to be an archived strip; it's completely and utterly my fault that you're reading it in the main series. That said, I blame Stuntmutt. (Louis Wu 12:22:23 UTC) (permalink)
Good News For Us, Bad News For Chief
If you weren't sure about release dates, Halo: Resolution clears things up. (Louis Wu 11:48:42 UTC) (permalink)
It must be music day
Jester writes to let us know that music.psyjnir.org has been updated with 10 new pieces from the Bungieverse. Two of them (Haloesque and another Under Cover Of Night remake) are Halo-related. Go visit, and listen! (Louis Wu 09:46:52 UTC) (permalink)
New Mombasa - for Halo CE
NiTrOuSoXiDe posted a note in the Gearbox forums, showing pictures of the New Mombasa map being worked on by a pretty talented team of mapmakers and artists; go over and take a look! (No, it's not ready for downloading yet.) Thanks to Mrs Doublefire, one of the key people on the mod team, for the heads-up in our forum. (Louis Wu 09:23:46 UTC) (permalink)
Red vs Blue - a content flood
There's no Red vs Blue episode this week - they were busy at E3 last week, and they've got other surprises going on - but there's plenty of new content to visit for, anyway. A new song was released in episode 33, called 'A Girl Named Tex' - fans were clamoring for a full version, and now you can grab one. (There's also a link to trocadero.net, the site belonging to nico's band - nico is responsible for much of the cool original music in RvB.) You can also grab a pair of art files - a zipped collection of an image by Jay 'Anaphiel' Faircloth (you can see some of his amazing work in our Miscellaneous Art and Wallpaper sections here, too) and a beautiful view of Blood Gulch from Heather 'Nesnora' Cristofaro (a forum mod for RvB and the designer behind trocadero.net). Finally, for Sponsors only (in the season 2 sponsors forum), you can grab copies of all the Xbox kiosk videos they made for the first round of Xbox promotions last year. (There's a new set in stores right now, and they're starting a third set next week.) RvB lovin' for everyone! (Louis Wu 09:08:39 UTC) (permalink)
He's big in Germany.
Dan Chosich is the latest target of the Junkyard's Spotlight series; go by and read about this up-and-coming moviemaker. You know, now that I think about it, he DOES look a little like David Hasselhoff... hmm, no, he doesn't. (Louis Wu 01:05:34 UTC) (permalink)
More post-fanfest pics
Andrew, from XboxOttawa, has put up some pics he took at Dean Miranda's Plasma Fiesta lanfest after E3 - he managed to miss all the food, but he got the people. Yes, Silverbrin likes playing Halo standing up. Don't ask me why. (Louis Wu 01:01:30 UTC) (permalink)
