Not a single pancake!
There's an interview with Nathan Walpole, better known as bentllama around the Halo community, one of the Canadian animators on the Halo 2 team, over at Simpatico/MSN. Nice read! Thanks, Farhang. (Louis Wu 16:39:38 UTC) (permalink)
Ferrex talks levels
Gamespy continues their saturation coverage with an interview of Tyson Green, aka Ferrex, level designer for Halo 2. If you're wondering what's different about Halo 2 (in comparison to Halo 1 level design), read this! (Louis Wu 13:27:35 UTC) (permalink)
IGN Content
Couple of new articles at IGN today - the Countdown article is about the I Love Bees phenomenon, and the 'Training Exercises' that happened on Thursday around the US. And an article called 'Bungie.net's Battle Plan' gives you an overview of what's going to be available from the Stats section of Bungie's website - the stuff you can see for yourself, now, plus some pretty astounding information that's NOT available to he public yet (check the last page of the article). Definitely worth a read! (Google beat everyone in letting us know about these - sorry.) (Louis Wu 13:15:37 UTC) (permalink)
Sprite Paste
Ryllick was the first to point out that today's Ctrl+Alt+Delete is Halo 2 related... in fact, might explain a few mysteries. (Louis Wu 13:07:09 UTC) (permalink)
The Library Loves Bees
The Library, a compendium of Halo information, has been updated again, this time with an I Love Bees section (including a summary of the game). If you've been waiting for someone to make it clear, go read! (Louis Wu 13:04:05 UTC) (permalink)
1UP pours on the juice
1UP.com has two new Halo 2 pieces up for you to read - the electronic version of the December 2004 EGM article (with 10 new screenshots - top of the page, added Wednesday), and the 1UP Preview, an entirely NEW piece (as far as I can tell) with lots of good info but no new screens. Check 'em both out! (Thanks to Ben Vera for the heads-up on the 1UP piece.) (Louis Wu 13:00:46 UTC) (permalink)
Outfit your fridge in style
Shorty (Will) noticed some new magnets over at the Bungie store - they're adding stuff at a rapid rate these days! (Louis Wu 12:32:09 UTC) (permalink)
Not So Late Show wants your questions
clarksbrother managed to secure an interview with a Bungie employee for his local TV show - and is asking for questions to pose during the interview. If you'd like to have your ideas considered, jot 'em down and add 'em to the database! (Louis Wu 12:30:04 UTC) (permalink)
G4TV - Content Overload
Tons and tons and tons of new Halo content at G4TV today:
- Halo 2 Council: The Kutcher Connection does a sort of 'Six Degrees of Separation' thing with the Halo 2 Council members... except it's one degree.
- Halo 2 Continues Music-Video Game Tie-In Trend ties together... um, music videos and games.
- Nile Rodgers on Producing Halo 2 Soundtrack is another interview with Niles Rogers.
- New A.I. for the Halo 2 Guy looks at the advances in AI over the first Halo.
- Art as Game: Halo 2 tries to pin down what makes Halo great.
In addition to that, there are streaming versions of all four Halo 2 Day Red vs Blue commercials (Flash and WMP formats) - and if you can't stand those, you can grab 320x240 downloadable QuickTimes of the two we hadn't already posted: Sick Day (1.8 mb) and Back From the Future (1.1 mb). Wonga. Is that enough? Thanks to Ben Vear for starting off the search. (Louis Wu 02:34:28 UTC) (permalink)
Stabbing Man Says Farewell
Frankie's posted the last Bungie Weekly Update ever over at TeamXbox. He talks a lot about the new Stats page at Bungie.net (and what's coming down the road - trust me, he's not kidding about that face flying off stuff), and about reviews that are coming out, and about what's gonna happen next week... but mostly, he's just saying goodbye to a tradition. I'm very sad the Mister Chief art isn't showing up... but I'm guessing that'll get fixed soon enough. Go read. Thanks to KNIGHTOFDRAGONS, for being the first to actually point out where this was.
