Lego EVERYTHINGs.
Dang. Fury Three has updated his around-the-net collection of Halo Lego links - there's a lot of stuff out there! Check 'em out. (Louis Wu 21:10:51 UTC) (permalink)
EB Games late stores - be careful
Blackstar noticed that his local EB Games was on the list of stores planning to open at midnight on the 9th - but calling the store itself gave him a different answer. Contacting EB Games directly yielded the info that stores can decide whether or not they'll be open; your best bet is to call your store before heading out there. (Louis Wu 19:35:45 UTC) (permalink)
IGN - Filling the Days
IGN has decided to prepare for Halo 2 by posting Halo 2 content every day until release. The first article is 'Ten Things To Do While Waiting for Halo 2'. It's pretty much as silly as it sounds. (There's also an article about the Halo 2 soundtrack, but most of it is the explanation Marty posted on our forum, and then later again on The Marty Army chapter of the 7th Column.)

The Art of Halo - Details
ZigZag Master points out that The Art of Halo entry at Random House has been updated; the cover is up, and a description of the contents is now available. It should be out in the next 4 weeks or so. (Louis Wu 17:57:40 UTC) (permalink)
Randy Pitchford at HaloImpulse
The dirtyJ (among other people) passed along info about HaloImpulse, a new Halo CE website. There's lots of content - but what attracted my attention was an interview with Randy Pitchford. Once again, Mr. Pitchford explains where Gearbox sits with regard to support of Halo PC and Halo CE, and where he thinks the games sit in the overall field of PC-based FPS titles. No matter where you stand on the issue, it's an interesting read. While you're there, look around the site - there's some nice stuff there. (Louis Wu 17:51:23 UTC) (permalink)
Slurpee Sounds Clarification
To the four thousand people who sent us email about the Slurpee Prophet voice not actually being a prophet... yep, it's true. Whoever built that site actually took their audio content from OUR Dialogue Databank - that 'Prophet' clip is actually a Jackal, slowed down and reversed, and it was submitted by Patrick Naedele back in December 2003. Likewise, the clip you hear for the Master Chief was submitted by Captain Spark in July 03, and the Grunt clip came in in September. The Elite clip actually comes from Bungie.net's Dialogue Archive, not ours. (Again - these aren't SIMILAR clips - they're the SAME clips.) Yes, I should have noticed the Jackal voice yesterday. Sorry. No, this doesn't mean that we've actually heard a prophet speak. Sorry. (Louis Wu 12:16:42 UTC) (permalink)
That Webmaster... ooohhh...
The weekly update isn't what folks expected - but it will be... just a few days later than we thought. Look for it on Monday. In the meantime, enjoy a rockin' new screenshot and an entertaining explanation from Frankie on our forum. (Louis Wu 01:51:46 UTC) (permalink)
