Halo Faceplate - A good look
So the first (official) Halo faceplate will be available in stores (for example, links at Gamestop | EB Games) in October; Emerl was the first on our forum to notice this (about a week ago). Overall reaction wasn't REALLY positive... but maybe that's because you couldn't really see the detail in those tiny thumbnail previews? How about a full-sized version? Me... I think it's pretty snazzy. (Louis Wu 20:08:58 UTC) (permalink)
WSJ looks at Halo 2 Entrepeneur
Today's Wall Street Journal has an article about Tom "Tsquared" Taylor, a Halo pro gamer who set up a business to teach people to play videogames better. I was going to pass on mentioning this, because the online version of this story is unreadable unless you have a paid subscription... but HelixBlue reminded me that the dead tree version is out there as well. Nice to see Halo on the front page of the WSJ! Update: w00t - Usul found the article at AOL.com - for free! Go read. (Louis Wu 16:29:05 UTC) (permalink)
Busting Out.
Not only does today's One One Se7en have a corny joke, it has spoilers for Halo, as well. All we need is a rocket teamkill, and we've got the perfect strip. (Louis Wu 12:31:37 UTC) (permalink)
Remember this for the next Con
Heh - Samusaaron3 brought his Xbox 360 faceplate to Comic-Con last week, and got a bunch of signatures... including a mini Mister Chief from Frankie. Nice! (Louis Wu 12:01:58 UTC) (permalink)
Look at me when I talk to you!
Clubinator turned in a pair of Master Gunns quotes from the first 'level' of Halo 2 (the training exercise); we've added them to our Dialogue Databank. Don't mess with the gunnery sergeant! (Louis Wu 11:59:01 UTC) (permalink)
GTR nominated for Podcast Awards
Yesterday we mentioned that Podtacular was up for some Podcast Awards - I neglected to point out that Gamertag Radio, as well, has been nominated in the Gaming category! Make your decision wisely. (Louis Wu 11:27:02 UTC) (permalink)
Joyride missed out.
Wow, very cool. Laird stumbled across some pics of a fan-created Snow Hog, modified from a Battle-Damaged Warthog. I want one! (The guy's .sig rocks, too.) (Louis Wu 11:22:36 UTC) (permalink)
Stood up.
Interested in a no-lead-time Humpday Challenge? Respond to Frankie here - but do it quick! Update: okay, you guys can stop posting in that monster thread - looks like Frankie picked a team about 6 hours ago. (Louis Wu 01:57:49 UTC) (permalink)
