Link Page - Automated
For a very long time, we've been threatening to automate our Links page; there are new sites all the time, and we've been awful about both posting them on our news page and adding them to our Links page. All that's about to change - because it's an automated system now. If you have a Halo site you'd like to add to our Links page, visit our Links Submission page and drop in your info. We'll do our best to approve submissions at least every day. (It can't be FULLY automated, because of all those yucky people who'd fill the list with porn links and such if we allowed it.) I've gone through the current links page and pruned all the dead ones - if you've submitted your link to us in the past 6 months, you're probably not on this list, so drop an entry on the submission page!

Online Halo Tourney
Andy writes to point out a Halo tournament with a $50 grand prize (no entrance fee). It's totally unclear from the documentation, but I'm guessing (since ping is mentioned on one page) that we're talking about an online tourney using Halo PC. (It could be an Xbox tourney using XBC, though - you might want to check with them to be sure. Signup closes in 11 days (June 25th), but there doesn't seem to be an actual contest date posted yet. More information can be found on the tourney site, if you're diligent. (Louis Wu 16:49:05 UTC) (permalink)
Fanfic contest ends SOON
Steve wants to point out that today is the last day for submissions for the First Annual Enkidu Fan Fiction Contest. (Louis Wu 12:50:49 UTC) (permalink)
Update Update
We've added last week's Bungie Weekly Update to our Update archive - it's a good place to find stuff like, say, the fact that Lorraine popped up this week for the first time since E3. (Sorry you're sick, Lorraine!) Sometimes just browsing the entire collection can be fun (careful, thought, it's over 150k of text by now). (Louis Wu 09:49:01 UTC) (permalink)
Behind the Mask
Well, nobody found the Chief and Sarge after that nasty explosion on Friday... but I guess they're like the cat, they just couldn't stay away. MC, at least, is back in today's One One Se7en, and he's met up with a new friend (the Xbox Gamer magazine scans that this guy came from will be posted in a couple of weeks, when that issue is off the shelves). And that wraps up our Comic trilogy for the day. I hope. (Louis Wu 09:23:12 UTC) (permalink)
This Is Why He's Not In The Union
Captain Keyes shows off his unusual thinking in today's Halo: Resolution. (Louis Wu 09:18:30 UTC) (permalink)
Jugglin' Chief
Ack! I forgot to post this yesterday; SESpider submitted the next episode of Miniature Halo. Very nice layout work by PsYcHoDaN, in addition to the photography and story work by Spider himself. Check it out! (Louis Wu 09:16:33 UTC) (permalink)
More shakeycam gameplay
Fuzion found a new gameplay clip over at Kikizo.com, flimed on the sly at E3. It's only 27 seconds long, but you get a decent view of some weapons that haven't gotten a lot of show so far. Clarification: seems my wording might suggest there are new, never-before-seen weapons in this footage; that's not the case. It's just that there are short clips showing the plasma rifle and shotgun clearly in first-person mode, something that other clips haven't shown much of. Sorry to get your hopes up.

Are you tired of Wallpaper yet?
Gah. In the mad rush to format 60 wallpaper submissions in the past few days, we managed to skip over a pretty amazing entry; it was released on the Red vs Blue site a few weeks ago - and we asked then if we could include it here. Nesnora said yes, so I added it to the queue - and even got as far as adding it to the 'images to be processed' yesterday. Somehow, though, it didn't get uploaded. Maybe I felt it needed its own entry, on some level. In any case, it's in our Wallpaper section
now. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 08:35:11 UTC) (permalink)
