Always Expect Castration.
OMG. The Webmaster's back. With reader art. And photos. And drool. (Okay, maybe not drool.) Go read. (Louis Wu 19:46:03 UTC) (permalink)
Toyfare art - without the words.
Very cool. GruntKilla pointed out the original artwork for the cover of Toyfare Magazine #86. A little investigation turned up the website of Greg Horn, the artist. (Click on the MC head in the 'Other Projects This Month' section at the top for his own copy of the art.) It's the only Halo-related artwork I could find, but there's some fun stuff if you poke around. Update: G-Nox found a second piece of Halo-related artwork on that site - nice work!

Grunts eat pillows
Remember back when Calvin was worried about what was under his bed? Today's Calvin and Halo ramps up the fear factor. (Louis Wu 18:09:06 UTC) (permalink)
Thursday's Words
Thirteen new pieces in the Fan Fiction section today - including a couple of poems and a pledge. See what you can find! (Louis Wu 17:58:13 UTC) (permalink)
More MLG-Seattle info
Radid Gnome interviewed a friend of his, an MLG staffer who played Halo 2 at the Downpour event, about the game. He's posted the interview on his website. (The site is framed, so look for the 'New Halo 2 Article' in the news.) (Louis Wu 17:51:38 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 - In Australia
Whoa. The band Regurgitator, out of Australia, is performing a 3-week 'Band in a Bubble' experiment, where they attempt to record an entire album in social isolation (though with millions watching). For entertainment? They'll be playing Halo 2, apparently. Details can be found in this Xbox.com article. The whole shebang kicks off in 5 days. Thanks to gspawn for noticing.

Gamespy answers questions
Gamespy has posted a Halo 2 Reader Feedback Followup article; questions readers have asked, answered by Gamespy staffers. There'll be another part tomorrow. Thanks to LaMuerte for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 17:22:59 UTC) (permalink)
If you're dead, respawn!
Sevenar posted a short ad for a pretty entertaining event... in movie format. Details on what you're watching (as well as filesize) are in the forum post. If there's demand, I'll rip a QT version of this, too. (Louis Wu 17:17:15 UTC) (permalink)
6 Marines and a dead man's... banshee?
[-TLG-]Madrox continues his 'live stuff in the pit' series by bringing a stack of live Marines to the bottom of the chasm in the underground area of AotCR. Amazing! Hosting provided by Mythica, via High Impact Halo. I'll try and get a QuickTime version posted later today - look for an update to this newspost. (Louis Wu 17:14:33 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 impressions in a Canada newspaper
The London (Ontario) Free Press posted a news piece on X04 Canada, held recently in Toronto. Halo 2, of course, got a chunk of the text. Go read. (Louis Wu 17:08:13 UTC) (permalink)
Contests, contests...
We got word of a couple of contests recently; Blade writes about a Halo 2 Cover Design contest, where winning entries get Gmail invites and some Halo 2 material. And Ryan Kiskis, Director of Xfire Business Development, writes to let us know about a Skins contest; design a skin for Xfire (an instant messenger for gamers, with Halo PC and Halo CE support), win a piece of $3000 in cash. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 02:32:47 UTC) (permalink)
Rampancy.net opens a Bee Forum
Narcogen pointed out that Rampancy.net, as well, has set up a special forum just for discussion of I Love Bees-related materials. Folks on our own forum cannot seem to get their heads around the fact that bee discussion will be deleted here - whether it's Halo-related or not - but hopefully, as time goes on, they'll move that discussion to more appropriate places... like Rampancy.net. Check out the news post for details of the resources available. (Louis Wu 02:27:34 UTC) (permalink)
The Wind Beneath My Wings
Yaksha posted a video today showcasing a couple of Halo PC mods... and a pretty drawn-out punchline. 2:09 long, 10.2 mb, WMP9 format. Hosted by redvsblue.net. Check it out! (Louis Wu 02:24:31 UTC) (permalink)
