This Spartan Life on G4TV
Looks like Damien Lacedaemion, of This Spartan Life, will be interviewed this evening on G4TV's "Attack of the Show" at 7 pm EST. Go watch! (Louis Wu 19:16:33 UTC) (permalink)
Another Halo Tab
Over on the Power Tab Archive, Shadowsniper689 found a guitar tab for a Halo theme that wasn't used in the game (but is available on Bungie.net). I can't read .ptb files, and there's no link to the original, so your guess is as good as mine - but if you're looking for tabbed Halo music, you can add this to your collection. Update: Billy clarifies which piece we're talking about. Thanks, Billy! (Louis Wu 19:14:06 UTC) (permalink)

2old2play has released 2old2type Episode 6, their newest installment of their podcasted commentary. Discussion of game addiction, among other topics... available for direct download (off archive.org) or via BitTorrent - about an hour, 30 mb, MP3 format. (Louis Wu 18:29:45 UTC) (permalink)
Tied the Leader update
XerxDeeJ has posted another summary of new articles on his Tied the Leader blog - there's a reader poll asking what you'll move on to after Halo, some musing on trash talk (inspired by a thread on our forum last week), and a Top Ten list that might hit home. (Louis Wu 16:33:24 UTC) (permalink)
They've grown - spiritually.
Marty O'Donnell and Jay Weinland, Halo sound gurus, and SketchFactor and Frankie, community gurus, were interviewed by IGN while at the GPhoria Awards ceremony last week. Questions like 'how do you feel creating a game that everybody kicks your ass at?' and 'Where's the Hot Coffee in Halo?' should give you a sense for how this one went. Streaming 320x180 for the masses (9.7 - 21.1 mb), downloadable 640x360 (21.4 - 40.5 mb) for IGN Insiders. Thanks to mejp44 for noticing. (Louis Wu 14:50:15 UTC) (permalink)
SMGs For Sale
GAH! This came in a couple of nights ago - I lost it in the rush of mail. Richie's Armor has created a pair of resin-cast SMGs, for sale on eBay - starting bid is just under $150, there are still 5 days left on the auction. They look great - check 'em out! (Louis Wu 13:17:42 UTC) (permalink)
Master Chief, in Frosting
OS eco419 whipped up a delicious-looking Halo 2 cake, and shared it with our forum. Mmmmm... (Louis Wu 13:07:49 UTC) (permalink)
Rallying The Troops
The Codex Series Episode 18, 'Rallying The Troops', has been released - I think one of the scriptwriters has been watching Independence Day. It's a nicely inspirational episode, and the troop rally is wonderfully filmed. Currently available only in QuickTime (about 86 mb), but WMP9 coming today - go download! Thanks to many - first was FxH Spartan II. (Louis Wu 12:47:06 UTC) (permalink)
Scottish LAN
thescottishguy writes to point out a 2-day LAN in Scotland, August 19th and 20th; entry is £5 for Friday, £10 for Saturday, with £1500 on the line for prizes. (Preregistration is available.) The only thing I can't find any info about (either in the email he sent, or anywhere on his website), is WHERE this is being held - but then, Scotland isn't that big of a country, so maybe you'll find it.
