What IS that thing?
Wanna give us a hand with our content needs? mnemesis has posted a Help Wanted ad on our forum - he's looking for level transcriptions. Read the post if you're interested - as he said, it would be better if we didn't have duplication of effort, so telling us BEFORE you start is a good thing. And... thanks, in advance!

Story Speculation
Whee... Jillybean updated the Halo Story Page with a fan-driven theory, which led another fan to write a blog entry disputing the conclusions, which led to a forum thread about the whole idea. So many words - and the speculation continues! (Louis Wu 21:16:01 UTC) (permalink)
Your father is a coconut?
There's an interesting article over at Gamasutra - a report of a round-table discussion behind the scenes at E3, involving several industry personalities, including Joe Staten of Bungie. The topics under discussion was character and story development, and how they fit into games today - I'm loving where the conversation eventually got to. Each member brought his own perspective to the table - Joe's experience with Halo and Halo 2 helped shape his views. Thanks, Deanero. (Louis Wu 21:10:11 UTC) (permalink)

Cutscene Library Grows - SC Up
Gah. Yesterday was so busy here, I forgot to release any new cutscenes in the Halo Cutscene Library - apologies! If you swing by today, you'll find all 5 scenes from Silent Cartographer have been added. I'll do my best to stay on schedule. (Louis Wu 13:27:49 UTC) (permalink)

2old2type - listen instead of read
Eep - this came in yesterday, but I missed it. DSmooth, of 2old2play, pointed out a new podcast they're doing, called 2old2type. The first episode is about 60 minutes long, and chock-full of info from E3 this year, including Halo 2 map info. Go download and listen! (Louis Wu 12:43:59 UTC) (permalink)
UK Tourney League
Duke87 wrote to us about UK Halo Match Maker, a UK-based tournament community that's looking to launch its league this Sunday. Matches will be 4v4, with up to 10 people per team - the league will operate like a football league, with one match (3 games) per week, with 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. You can also find league information or an application form for participation around the place. If you're in the UK, check this out! (Louis Wu 12:39:55 UTC) (permalink)
