The 12-Stab - er, Step Program
Is the plasma sword hazardous to your health? Maybe. Check this article at Aussie Xbox on ways to escape this deadly addiction. Thanks, Hep. (Louis Wu 20:19:27 UTC) (permalink)
New Group themes at Bungie.net
Dolbex points out that there are two new themes for groups over at the Seventh Column. I've switched the HBO Junkies to use the Mullins Halo 2 theme, and Dolbex has set Been Mawed to use the Column WW theme, so you can see them both in action. Nice! (Louis Wu 17:27:23 UTC) (permalink)
Yep, it's popular...
Major Nelson yanked the top 10 games on Xbox Live last week - guess what was in the number one spot? (Yeah, tough guess.) Thanks, Cybrfrk. (Louis Wu 17:23:53 UTC) (permalink)
My ears hurt.
Writing music is hard sometimes. Adapting music can be even harder - but often moreso on the listener. Dork Tower points the way NOT to take. Thanks, E1337. (Louis Wu 14:57:45 UTC) (permalink)
Alone
It's amazing what turns up when you're not looking. We got email from Jeremy Durkota about a machinima series known as 'Alone' - it was created by a Red vs Blue fan and promoted on the Sponsors vs Freeloaders site (they're a RvB fansite)... but when I visited a couple of days ago, I was surprised to find not one or two episodes, but two SEASONS. There are a dozen films, ranging from promos to commercials to actual episodes, almost all the work of one guy, Matt Spencer. Check out Echo Zulu Films! (Louis Wu 14:41:26 UTC) (permalink)
Giveaway ideas needed
Beowulf has a bunch of extra Halo schwag that he wants to part with - but he needs help deciding how. Stop by this forum thread and give him some contest ideas! You never know - it could be YOU receiving the goodies in the end. (Louis Wu 14:02:54 UTC) (permalink)
Halo in London
Narcogen, of Rampancy.net, recently traveled from his home in Kazakhstan to London, on business. While there, he met up with Stuntmutt, of One One Se7en fame. Stuntmutt's recollection of the evening is a bit... fuzzier than Narcogen's, but they're both fun reads. Nice to see Halo bringing far-flung compatriots together! (Or maybe it was just the beer...)

They're still writing
I was wrong when I said that Halo 2 press was finished.
- Columbus Dispatch - Game summary/review (B) (thanks, Warbow)
- ABC News - Video Game Report Card (says Halo 2 is worse for your kids than Leisure Suit Larry - thanks, Chester)
- IGN PS2 - Will Dragon Quest VII own Halo 2 in first-day sales?
- Onlypunjab.com - Indian press release for Halo 2
- USA Today - is this the golden age of video gaming?
- San Francisco Chronicle - Halo 2 is at the top of a crowded field
