Saturday Artwork
Getting behind on those image queues again... here are 10 new desktops for you in our Wallpaper Section. I'm particularly fond of this one. (Louis Wu 20:24:45 UTC) (permalink)
Fan Fiction
Five new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today. And you're waiting for...? Go read. (Louis Wu 20:24:09 UTC) (permalink)
GI Plays Their Own Game
Another hands-on article today, this time from GameInformer. Entertaining read. Thanks, chief sparten. (Louis Wu 18:28:45 UTC) (permalink)
Real Halo
A bunch of guys pressed a suburban backyard and its contents (and one extra shoe) into service to bring you a live-action version of a Zanzibar netgame. I particularly liked the respawn sound effects. 17.1 mb, QuickTime format. Sorry about the quality; original film was recorded with a Hi8 camera, then digitized via a USB adaptor... further compressed to be web-friendly. The shakeycam only adds to the netplay, though, I think. (Louis Wu 18:25:34 UTC) (permalink)
GameDaily's Deeper Content
Browsing around the GameDaily site, I stumbled across three articles I hadn't seen before (and hence hadn't reported before) - some good reading inside. An In-Depth Review of Halo, written recently, looks back on the first version with an experienced eye. 'Halo: The Best Moments' gets a dozen fans from across the US to reminisce about what made Halo great for them. And 'Halo: The Complete Story' summarizes the major plot points of all three Halo novels, so as to bring you up to speed if you've not found the time to read them yourself. (It should go without saying that this last is chock-full of spoilers - but I'm saying it anyway.) Check this stuff out! (Louis Wu 18:13:03 UTC) (permalink)
The Fall of Reach
tLove posted a new movie last night - a full-length movie of The Fall of Reach. Even Frankie liked it. A classic, up there with Bambi vs Godzilla. (Louis Wu 15:41:29 UTC) (permalink)
The end of an error
w00t! The streak is FINALLY broken! It's Saturday, and there's nothing in the news about Stuntmutt! Yeehaw!... DOH! (Louis Wu 15:26:08 UTC) (permalink)
The Big Screen
Trigun writes to point out a new episode of Halo: On Vacation over at the 7th Revolution. I don't get it... but it's probably a cultural reference I'm missing. (Louis Wu 15:24:53 UTC) (permalink)
TXB Checks The Menus
The writeups continue - this one is from TeamXbox. 6 pages. (What happened to the seventh?) Nice table containing the game variant options. They also did a great job cataloguing the menus. Thanks, MiD33. (Louis Wu 00:30:20 UTC) (permalink)
Bangin' Choons
Looks like the Weekly Update is over at Halo Babies tonight... he's down in LA, helping out with the Documentary DVD, and a good chunk of the update is about that. And giant women. And spastic colons. And... the first instance of the whole game, put together in one piece. Go read. (I'm glad he warned people about the spoilers in the DVD - if you care about the plot, play the game first.) Thanks, Schedonnardus. (Louis Wu 00:08:35 UTC) (permalink)
