Artwork now up
Yay... finally. I've made a dent on the Miscellaneous Art queue! There's still plenty more to post, but I've posted 30 pieces today; I'm giving thanks to the artists who've waited so long to see their work posted. And that will pretty much do it for the day... time to start cooking turkey, and waiting on guests. Happy Thanksgiving, all! (Louis Wu 15:10:09 UTC) (permalink)
Stinks to be 6.
Calvin and Halo take off on a new series of comics today - thanks, Blackstar! (Louis Wu 11:33:46 UTC) (permalink)
Bandwidth needs for match hosting
We'd received mail last week from some people that were having trouble hosting Major Clan matches on Xbox Live, even though they knew they had enough bandwidth to handle the job. Chris Butcher wrote out an explanation for the trouble recently, and posted it on Bungie.net - it seems that your ability to host clan matches requires that the network has a record of your bandwidth reliability. Read Chris's post for more info - it's pretty interesting! (It's got actual bandwidth requirements listed - which, in and of themselves, are fascinating... because they're roughly HALF of what a Halo PC game needs for hosting.) Thanks, deftangel.

Halo 2 Info - again
In honor of Thanksgiving, Frankie has recycled the Halo 2 informational article originally posted on November 8, over at Bungie.net. I didn't keep a local copy of the first version, so it's hard to tell what, if anything, has changed... but at the very least, there are now nice graphics for the main sections. If you have questions about any aspects of Halo 2, this should be one of the very first places you look. Thanks, Wraith. (Louis Wu 11:17:42 UTC) (permalink)
More mirrors
eek has offered mirrors for both of Dave Galindo's (Chubigan's) videos from yesterday - he's got the QuickTime versions of the Halo Sights Tour and 'In the Front Lines' up on The Nothing. Thanks! (Louis Wu 11:13:52 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Walks the Walk (of Game)
We mentioned on November 4 that Halo had secured a spot on the Walk of Game, a new video game landmark in San Francisco. It took until yesterday for the inductees to be officially announced, however. Halo owns one of the four Favorite Game/Character spots. Thanks, pimpmeister. (Louis Wu 11:00:14 UTC) (permalink)
More Funnies
Web comics for you today:
- MacHall takes a shot at the Halo 2 ending (Clearly, if you haven't finished, this could be considered spoiler material) - Ian's also put up a great new desktop image using Heltana, his anime version of your favorite onboard AI. Thanks to many - Jon was first.
- The most recent Carzorthade (November 23) shows one of the downsides of Bungie's new attention to detail (thanks, Cameron Hassler).
