Let the Carnage Begin
Okay, it's time to start waking up the slugabeds lying all over my house; we've got furniture to move, and Xboxes to wire together, and Halo multiplayer to... well, play. Crisp Death kicks off in a couple of hours, and that means no more news posts for a little bit. Enjoy your Saturday! (Louis Wu 12:19:44 UTC) (permalink)
Severe Headaches
EvilBurger pointed out that a new Subzero Rivalries is up; definitely has a Caboose-like feel to it. He's experimenting with a new coloring style - and I'd say it works really well. Check it out! (Louis Wu 12:04:07 UTC) (permalink)
Leyk on Babies
Tina Leyk seems to have caught the baby bug; her second new piece in a row is a Halo Babies tidbit. I must say... it's gorgeous. Check out her Fan Art page for 'Baby MC vs Baby Elite' - I've really got to get me one of those carbine water rifles! (Louis Wu 11:30:27 UTC) (permalink)
Marty on Music
Marty O'Donnell talked to the Music 4 Games crew about the audio in Halo 2, from what went in to what didn't, how the outside contributors were used, what's still to come, and more. It's a great read - swing on by! (Louis Wu 11:19:52 UTC) (permalink)
Please Wait Here.
Okay, I doubt the overlap between HBO visitors and NPR listeners is really big, so you're gonna have to bear with me here. National Public Radio in the US has a program called 'Wait Wait Don't Tell Me' - it's a news quiz. If you call in, and take the quiz, and win, your prize is that NPR newscaster Carl Kasell (who has a pretty distinctive voice) will leave the message on your phone's answering machine. (You know, the one that says "we're not here right now, leave a message" - although you can have Carl say anything you want him to.) Why is this relevant to you, the HBO viewer? Because Tim Dadabo, the voice behind 343 Guilty Spark, has agreed to perform a similar service for the winner of the 343 Guilt O' Lantern contest. Yep, that's right - if you win, your answering machine could tell callers, in the inimitable voice of 343 Guilty Spark, how much of a genius you are... or how fascinating the lost call is. Or whatever you choose. An incredibly generous offer, in my opinion - so do your best! (Louis Wu 02:32:54 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Preview at Xboxlive.fr
Xbox LIve France has a preview of Halo 2, written up during the European tour last month. It's in French (naturally), but there are plenty of pretty pictures (mostly on the last page, unless you're a REALLY big fan of Cam Payne). Thanks to caudronix for pointing this out.

Owning 343GS
No Hables is getting in on the vidmaster action; he's posted a movie in which he runs through 343 Guilty Spark, using zero bullets... and only ONE grenade. On Legendary. Movie is 12:15 long, 31.2 mb large, in WMP9 format. It's got a couple of double-take moments. If he runs out of bandwidth, let us know - we'll see what we can do to help. Download it now! (Oh, yeah, and don't forget to read the Weekly Update; it was posted so close to HBO's end-of-day that it only stayed on the front page for a couple of hours.) (Louis Wu 01:57:24 UTC) (permalink)
