The banner changes - and Marty speaks. Hehe - the power of fan outrage. The banner on the top of Sumthing's main page has changed; all the band names have been removed. (Again, I've linked a local copy, in case of more changes.) Note - I don't think this means that the involvement of those bands has been terminated - I think it just means the info was a bit premature. Thanks, op_ivy. And whoa - just as I was about to post this, Marty himself jumped onto the forum and posted a pretty interesting piece - absolutely worth a read if you're worried about the musical tone of Halo 2. Thanks, Marty! (Louis Wu 20:41:11 UTC) (permalink) 
Speculations R Us A sizeable update to the Halo Story Page today, from Finn - everything from potential story spoilers for Halo 2 (don't worry, you have plenty of warning, you can read this update safely) to speculation about meteors. Go see what you can find! (Louis Wu 20:20:15 UTC) (permalink) 
Art - it's what's for dinner. Once again clearing out the queue (except for some DeviantArt pieces I can't add without the authors' permission), we've got 8 more pieces for you in the Miscellaneous Art Section. Some pretty nice stuff today! (Louis Wu 20:03:10 UTC) (permalink) 
Kimchee - now local Bah. Last week's Bungie Update, originally posted at Subnova, has now been added to our Weekly Update Archive - at the cost of a bit of downtime. Watch for those infinite loops when you're coding, folks! (Louis Wu 19:13:21 UTC) (permalink) 
Screenies DB up to date Took a few days, but we've finally added the 1600x1200 versions of last week's TGS screenshots that Bungie posted on Friday to our Screenshots database. Dang, that game is looking fine. (Louis Wu 18:38:19 UTC) (permalink) 
Don't try this at home. Okay, here's a hint for you younger fans; if you're gonna do something really stupid, don't advertise. Today's safety message illustrated by Calvin and Halo. (Louis Wu 14:05:14 UTC) (permalink) 
But are they built like us? Monty Oum points out some Halo-related artwork he's done over at DeviantArt - nice style! (Louis Wu 13:59:42 UTC) (permalink) 
Halo 2 Soundtrack - More than Marty? Now THIS is bizarre. Sumthing Distribution, the folks who distributed the Special Edition Halo Soundtrack, have a new banner at the top of their main page. (I've linked to a local copy in case it goes away.) According to the banner, the Official Halo 2 Soundtrack will feature original music by Nile Rodgers, Incubus, Hoobastank, Breaking Benjamin, and more... The discussion in the forum currently revolves around whether this is legitimate or not - but we got mail a couple of weeks ago from wmaltby pointing to a web page with this comment in the news: "Rumor has it that Breaking Benjamin will be very involved with Halo 2... more details to come!" We held off posting that because it had no corroboration at the time... but it's starting to look more plausible. Details if and when we get them. (Louis Wu 13:47:06 UTC) (permalink) 
You're waiting, I'm waiting, we're all waiting. TeamXbox puts up their Top Ten Games of Fall 2004... and the number one spot is taken by - oh, you know. (Pico's Fight Club response is pretty close to what I thought when reading the notice from daedalus.) (Louis Wu 13:30:59 UTC) (permalink)
