Rescuing never sounded so fun
SESpider has submitted episode 25 of Miniature Halo - and put in a request for a female model for the next section. The comic is in its normal place, and the recruitment request is here. (Louis Wu 20:33:50 UTC) (permalink)
Sunday Net News
A few articles that have popped up in the last day or so:
- Computer and Video Games - review, 10/10, plus 83 smallish screenshots (thanks, 3Suns)
- Springfield (MO) News-Leader - Halo's pretty good (I'm gonna stop posting links to these stories)
- South Bend (IN) Tribune - general interest Halo 2 story
- Carzorthade (net comic - Friday's strip was Halo 2-related - thanks, Cameron Hassler)
The press seems to be slowing down a bit. (Louis Wu 19:49:18 UTC) (permalink)
Writing fake news is stupid.
in what has to be a REALLY early April Fools joke, Xbox365 has put up an article about two youngsters (15 and 20) in the UK who allegedly turned the family's car "into an alien tank similar to the one found in the chilling game [Halo]", and then crashing it into the wall and dying. The mother of one of the boys is quoted as saying 'why don't the government step in and stop me from buying them for my children?' For the record - none of the facts in the story are verifiable by any other internet source. There's nothing in the Daily Mirror (the newspaper purported to be the source of this story), there's nothing in any other news source about Stalybridge... the barrister mentioned in the article (Edmund Woolf) has no phone listing whatsoever in the UK (seems rather suspicious for a barrister), there's no record of the 'similar story' youth (whose story of a Mario suit killing fellow students seems ridiculous beyond belief)... I suppose I'm posting this because I'd really hate to see this rumor gain any credence. (Louis Wu 19:07:54 UTC) (permalink)
Sleepy Sunday
Yesterday was spent in the house of Miguel Chavez (along with more than a dozen other Halo fanatics), playing Halo 2. For this reason, I'm a little behind on Halo news. (Luckily, it was a slow news day anyway.) I'd have caught up by this point... but family obligations will keep me from here for another few hours; check back later today for more Halo goodness. (I'd also love to write up some of yesterday's activities; there were some interesting things I learned. No promises, though, because I'm ALREADY way behind on stuff I've said I'd do.)
