TSL - The Marty O'Donnell Interview, Part 1
This Spartan Life has posted a new module - it's Part 1 of an interview with Marty O'Donnell, set against a backdrop of Containment's outer reaches. Great stuff - go watch! (QuickTime is up now, WMP9 coming soon.) (Louis Wu 21:28:48 UTC) (permalink)
Battlefield Halo
We got word from MR-T, and DT, about Battlefield Halo, a web-based role playing game with a Halo theme. Sign up, look around, and start role-playing
in the Halo universe! (If you're curious about what you'd be getting into, you can find some great representative screenshots on this briefing page.) (Louis Wu 21:15:15 UTC) (permalink)
Articulated Battle Rifle
Cool - BARBARIC RAGE sent along a link he found to a Halo 2 Battle Rifle... made of Lego bricks. Looks awesome, too! Check it out! (Louis Wu 20:48:08 UTC) (permalink)
Doing Live Right
Saw this a couple of days ago - but it took DstrucTSions to get me off my butt about it. Over at Geezer Gamers, JameyT has written a fun article about 'Doing Life Right' - and guess which game is held up a shining example that others should follow? Yep, Halo 2. Go read!

Contest Update
As you may remember (hey, there's an icon right on this page!), we're running a contest right now - and the deadline for submissions is tomorrow. Response so far has been great - dozens and dozens of submissions. Many of these, however, stretch the description of 'fight game box art' - some are simply shots of MC, pasted on a wallpaper snagged from our Wallpaper section. No text, no 'box'... just something that wouldn't even qualify for the Misc Art section (according to our guidelines). Folks - you've got a lot of latitude... but it's got to at least LOOK like a game, no? For people who've submitted pictures like this - you've got another day to gussy up your work and resubmit... but the stuff already here will be tossed. Sorry - but if I'm going to be formatting 100 pics for public voting, I'm not going to waste my time on stuff that doesn't even TRY to meet the guidelines. Thanks! (Oh, yeah, and remember: if it ain't in our contest uploads, it ain't entered.) (Louis Wu 16:02:41 UTC) (permalink)
Podtacular Ep 44
Peronthious noticed that Podtacular Episode 44 had been released - and he even wrote a review of it. Can you ask for more? Go listen. (Louis Wu 15:19:45 UTC) (permalink)
7 Feet of MC in your living room.
We've mentioned Muckle statues quite a bit recently; they were primarily used for marketing Halo 2 in Europe, but they're starting to show up on eBay in the US as well. They're higher-quality statues than what showed up in game stores in the US... so it's not surprising that folks are buying these up. BARBARIC RAGE bought one of the 7 footers on eBay... and sent us pictures. (Front view | back view) Now THAT'S a dominating presence! (Louis Wu 15:04:37 UTC) (permalink)
Sub Three Keyes.
Whoa. Over at the HIH forum, there's a thread started by scurty, showing off some speed runs of Keyes, in Halo 1; he's below 4 minutes in EVERY difficulty, but the Easy run is below 3 minutes. That's insane! Next up - Pillar of Autumn in 30 seconds. Warms my heart to know folks are still hammering away at these things... thanks to insidi0us for the heads-up.
