Want (pumpkin) pie now.
Quick update on the 343 Guilt O' Lantern competition... We have a total of 85 submissions, and building a mechanism whereby you can pick the best 3 without getting totally overwhelmed is non-trivial. It will almost certainly not be finished tonight - hopefully, it'll be ready for public consumption tomorrow. There's still plenty of voting time left, so don't worry - we aren't in danger of missing any prize deadlines... yet. :) Thanks for your patience! (Louis Wu 22:48:02 UTC) (permalink)
Adventures in Disaster: The Movie
Speaking of akba, his site is hosting the next in Boxer's Adventures in Disaster comic series. This one is a poster for an upcoming movie. I'm not sure I want to see it. (Louis Wu 22:34:57 UTC) (permalink)
Flawed Legacy and more Odyssey
Two new snippets at Nilerogers.com today - Flawed Legacy (the actual snippet is 1:50, 1.7 mb) and 4th Movement of the Odyssey (snippet is 2:10 long, 2.2 mb, with a nice screenshot). Thanks to all who wrote in - akba was first. (Louis Wu 22:31:24 UTC) (permalink)
Brian and Pete talk Halo 2
Yet another msn-based (read: Macs not welcome, non-IE browsers not welcome) movie - If you visit the MSNBC Technology and Science Front Page, there's a link in the upper right corner, under 'Also in the News' - it reads "Video: Sneak Preview of 'Halo 2'". It's a short interview with Brian Jarrard and Pete Parsons, talking about what's new and improved with Halo 2. Thanks, Angel Navarro. (Louis Wu 22:25:48 UTC) (permalink)
You Should See Their Alphabet Soup.
As you're reading today's One One Se7en, remember... our news contains links to several decoders. Don't fret. Just search. (Louis Wu 16:45:24 UTC) (permalink)
Woof.
Sizeable art update over on Halo Babies - check it all out, including a pretty cool Spartan dog. (Louis Wu 15:46:46 UTC) (permalink)
RC2 Halo 2 Preview
SEspider is a regular around here, as well as an action figure retailer in real life. He recently received a new product booklet showing upcoming goodies, and sent along a scan of the Halo pages (141K). Some you've seen, some you haven't. (Louis Wu 15:39:26 UTC) (permalink)
MJOLNIR Remixed
JPOGDNA, from Sector 7 Halo, put together a video showing the transition between Halo and Halo 2. 4:21 long, 20.1 mb large, QuickTime format. Hosted by EdgeFiles. Go watch! (Louis Wu 15:33:34 UTC) (permalink)
I wonder what the logo looks like?
Hehe - Nick Atkinson points out that there are lengths you can go to to express your love for Halo that will be recognized only by like-minded individuals. Check out the official name of his Cabinetmaking business. (Louis Wu 15:29:56 UTC) (permalink)
Cold in the Dark
A new Subzero Rivalries was posted last night, just in time for Halloween. (There's even a moral in there. Somewhere.) Thanks, Hawk 7886. (Louis Wu 15:27:43 UTC) (permalink)
Goodies from EB Games
EBGames.com is hosting a Halo 2 sweepstakes - go register wto win lots of good stuff. You must be a US resident to enter, and you must enter by November 9. Thanks, HALOChat. (Louis Wu 15:20:44 UTC) (permalink)
Gamespy Interviews Frank O'Connor
Gamespy has kicked off its weeklong Halo 2 coverage with a great interview of Bungie.net's Frankie. Some clear discussion on why items got pulled, stuff about XBox Live, and more. Go read! (And stop back every day this week for more good stuff - that first link lists what's coming each day.) Thanks, John Keefer - and dozens of others. (Louis Wu 15:15:54 UTC) (permalink)
New... something at MSN Entertainment
M3XGhost39 found some odd 'screenshots' over at MSN Entertainment. They're pretty tiny, and they're a mishmash of already-released shots, shots that WILL be released in the next few days (but are currently under embargo), and shots I've never seen before. To top it off, they're in the 'Celebrity Photos' section (I guess there's no 'screenshots' section there). Go look. (No spoilers - at least none you'll recognize as such.)

Latex MC Mask
beetlecrazy12 found an interesting latex mask on eBay - unfortunately, I didn't get this posted last night in time for folks to actually BID on it. Still cool to see. I've put up a static (no links) local copy for when this auction rolls off eBay. (Louis Wu 14:55:37 UTC) (permalink)
Impend at nilerogers.com
Once again, a night not posting Halo news has generated a few dozen notes about a new clip over at nilerogers.com - it's called Impend. This time, it seems like there's a a small error in the page code; the copy-and-paste from Heretic, Hero wasn't fully converted. Browsers that use the Object definition (like IE on Windows) will get the flash animation... those that use the Embed parameter (pretty much everything else) will see a white box. I'm sure this will be fixed soon - but in the meantime, you can at least grab the music snippet itself... it rocks. First heads-up was Julien LeBlanc, about 12 hours ago.

Halloween Love
Halloween Love
Now here is a woman who cares about her man. LadyRziha created a Master Chief costume for her husband - it's not as polished as a Nightmare Armor suit, but there's a whole lotta love there. Check it out! (More news tomorrow - too much trick-or-treating tonight.) (Louis Wu 02:29:33 UTC) (permalink)
