Keep your head down!
New Frontline with Suzie - this week, it's called 'A spot of bother', and has commentary from Suzie in the middle of a rockslide megabattle. Thanks, rockslider... (Louis Wu 22:16:02 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Storyline Summary at Xbox.com
There's a new article up at Xbox.com - it's called 'Halo 2: Storyline', and it summarizes the plot of Halo for folks who haven't played it. Hardcore story fanatics will be unhappy (it's chock-full of... um, inconsistencies), but as a short summary of where things stand, it's fine. Thanks to Cullen, via irc, for the heads-up.

It's What's Inside That Counts
Stuntmutt takes one last shot at our poor, defenseless, maskless grunt in today's One One Se7en. Good thing it's the weekend coming up. That guy needs a break. (Louis Wu 12:35:03 UTC) (permalink)
In The Name Of Indecision
Has Fuzzy run out of ideas for Halo: Resolution? Check today's episode and find out. (Louis Wu 12:33:05 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Babies Update
Bunch of new stuff over at Halo Babies - it IS Friday, after all. There's a new strip, of course (pretty funny, I'd say), a bunch of new artwork, and, in an attempt to clean up their comments section, some pretty stiff rules about abuse. (Given the abuse our Fanfic comments section sees, I can sympathize completely.) Go check it all out! (Louis Wu 12:16:46 UTC) (permalink)
Friday Fiction
Eep - been a few days since I remembered to update the Fan Fiction section - now there are 26 stories for you. Go read! (Louis Wu 12:08:55 UTC) (permalink)
Wallpaper contest
SEspider has fired up another contest in our forum - come up with a Wallpaper using images from Miniature Halo, win some cool action figures. Details are in the post - deadline is July 10. Get cracking! (Louis Wu 09:37:08 UTC) (permalink)
You bought WHAT?
Wow - this is some amazing cojones - selling cheats for Halo 2 on eBay. (Even better - someone paid over $30 to buy 'em.) In case it gets pulled for the fraud that it is, there's a local, no-links copy here. Thanks to IXIGhandiIXI for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 09:32:22 UTC) (permalink)
Of Driving, and Such.
Sparkypinball put together the first of what looks to be a series of How-To guides for Halo; this one is called 'Sparky's Guide to Vehicle Handling'. It covers such topics as Warthog/Ghost jumps without flipping, the differences between Halo PC Hogs, and how to maximize your forward progress in a Ghost. Nice read!

XBL Hookup Primer
The MorningStar has written up a guide explaining how to connect your Xbox to the internet for Xbox Live. This gives you plenty of time to absorb the wisdom before Halo 2 is released. (Mind, there's plenty to do on XBL RIGHT NOW, and this information can be used to get you there... but this is a Halo site, so the info is targeted to Halo.) (Louis Wu 08:46:00 UTC) (permalink)
My eyes hurt
moddedcyborg has put together a few 3D screenshots - the kind that need those cheesy red and blue glasses to see properly. Reaction is good, and I'm sure I'll enjoy 'em as soon as I can find my kids' copy of Spy Kids 3D... (Louis Wu 08:42:10 UTC) (permalink)
A Body of Work
Dan Chosich posted a short (52 second) but very sweet movie that basically gives an overview of his body of Halo filmmaking. If you've never seen Dan's work, watch this film - it'll make you want to watch more. If you HAVE seen Dan's work, check this out for a quick thrill. It's 15.5 mb in QuickTime format; Dan posted a Junkyard link for the film in his forum post, but we know what HBO approval does to movie links, so we've tossed up a couple of mirrors - there's one on files.bungie.org and another on mythica.org. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 00:08:45 UTC) (permalink)
HCE/HEK State of Affairs
Cunbelin has posted the second of his weekly bi-weekly updates on the state of Halo Custom Edition and the Editing Kit, over at Bungie.net. Seems a little rushed, but it points out a few very nice maps, and gives a little background on some upcoming stuff. Thanks to haloguesser for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 00:04:23 UTC) (permalink)
