Halo Babies gets out the content
Last update for a while. This one points out the new content at Halo Babies... there's lots of it. A new strip, new strip backgrounds that can be used by folks interested in making guest strips, and a new reality-show-type video chronicling more of the Seattle trip in the Sponsors section (bandwidth 30+ mb movies are expensive to serve). Check it all out! (Louis Wu 15:24:17 UTC) (permalink)
Gamestop booklet on Halo 2
cDringer scanned a nice-looking freebie he found at Gamestop - it's the same image that OXM is using on their October cover. (I've replaced the original 1 mb gif with a smaller jpeg, but otherwise, his post is as it was.) The press continues... (Louis Wu 15:04:45 UTC) (permalink)
Seventh Column to undergo major changes
Ouch. There's a long story over on Bungie.net, talking about the long-awaited upgrade to the Seventh Column; starting next Tuesday, it'll be down for 1-2 weeks for the upgrade, and when it comes back, there'll be lots and lots of changes. This is bad news for the HBO Junkies, which was actually using one of the features slated for the chopping block (the Events database) for a big upcoming lanfest... but hey, we'll manage, I guess. First heads-up for this came from SPARTAN-01110101. (Louis Wu 04:27:05 UTC) (permalink)
Canadians get a shot at goodies
Are you a legal resident of Canada, 17 or over by October 4? If you are, you have a shot at some cool Halo-related goodies from the Famous Players website. Visit the contest page for details, and don't forget to check the Rules page for all the nitty-gritty. themanlydeadguy brought it to our attention. (Louis Wu 04:12:28 UTC) (permalink)
Deviance
WOW. Another really cool Halo-related image on the DeviantArt website - VegasMike (otherwise known as Adam Vehige, who won our Pillar of Art contest last year with a similar image) posted an image called 'Halo 2'. Very, very nice. Thanks to Guardian for finding it. (Louis Wu 04:06:30 UTC) (permalink)
Nature Abhors A Beam Rifle?
No, that's not a boot in today's One One Se7en... it's a - well, go read it. (Louis Wu 03:53:10 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Stats - Lots of Stats
Wow. BlackOps, of the Imperial Army clan, posted a note on the Gearbox forums, announcing a new (not quite available yet) stats system for Halo PC, based on an open-source Unreal Tournament 2003 stats tracking system. There's a link to their own website, showing you what these stats look like; they're amazingly complete. Check it out! Thanks to MasterGrief for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 03:35:22 UTC) (permalink)
And still MORE Wallpapers
Another update this evening comes in the form of desktops, with 10 new items in the Wallpaper Section. Go see what you can find. (Louis Wu 03:23:28 UTC) (permalink)
Friday Fanfic
Some of you may have noticed I haven't been around much today. I'm at a family wedding about 1500 miles from home... so updates will be scarcer than usual (unless other staffers can cover for me). I CAN, however, post some of the user-submitted content... starting with the Fan Fiction section. 5 new items tonight. Go see. (halosn, the server handling Fan Fiction and Miscellaneous Art, among other things, is acting a little funny these days... so be patient after you click a link. Yes, we're working on it.)
