The Pigs Are In the Air
MrFluffyPants points out that the 'When Pigs Fly' contest mentioned a bit ago has actually gone live; they're accepting submissions as of now. Check the contest page for details. (Louis Wu 13:31:18 UTC) (permalink)
Backstage Pass - Augmented by IGN
Whoa. By now, most online Halo fans know about the Backstage Pass Sweepstakes being sponsored by Xbox Live - and the official rules state that 5 of the 20 winning slots will be awarded to North American residents. Looks like some of those people just had their chances of winning boosted 20%... because IGN Insider is offering a 21st slot for this contest, but it's only open to US residents, and only to those that are IGN Insiders or Founders Club members. Read all the details on their contest page - a rules link is near the bottom. Heads-up for this one goes to HaloPlanet. (Louis Wu 11:26:17 UTC) (permalink)
The Halo Babies fad spreads
Tina Leyk has whipped up another pair of doodles and a Halo Babies-inspired piece of Fan Art to her spectacular collection. Look for the 18 September dates. That's one sad Elite! (Louis Wu 10:49:15 UTC) (permalink)
Hands-on from GMR
There's a short Hands-on article from GMR, one of the 1UP family of sites, with a nice description of a successful base defense. Heads-up goes to GruntKilla, who also noticed an interview with Marty O'Donnell at EGM - but that seems to have been pulled (the page states 'Coming Soon' now). I guess we'll have to wait and see about that one... (Louis Wu 10:36:25 UTC) (permalink)
Golden Joysticks
Walshicus mentions the Golden Joystick Awards 2004, a fan-driven British awards ceremony. Halo 2 is up for only one award; 'Most Wanted Game for Xmas 2004'. (Louis Wu 10:29:47 UTC) (permalink)
That's gonna leave a mark.
SEspider has updated Miniature Halo, sending along page 24 for your viewing pleasure. MC dose some nasty crashlanding... but Sarge is there for him. In a manner of speaking. (Louis Wu 10:26:05 UTC) (permalink)
Rockets on Prisoner 2004
Wolfy, of Sector 7, has resurrected Rockets On Prisoner, the Halo Movie Awards begun by (the now-defunct) CobaltNova last year. Voting will be done by you, the public, and awards will be hosted by That Weasel Television (with prizes supplied by Red vs Blue, Xbox Ottawa, and That Weasel). Read the rules, pick your favorite movies from the past year (one per category), and then wait and see how your choices did! More details are available on Sector 7's website.

Dutch article translation posted
Soulblighta sent along a translation of the Telenet article we mentioned yesterday; if you don't read Dutch, you can now tell what this site was saying about the Halo 2 European Developer Tour event they attended last month. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 10:12:13 UTC) (permalink)
