Cat In The Hat
When the Legendary Edition of Halo 3 was first announced, someone in our forum asked if the helmet would be wearable. KP answered "yes, if your head is very small... and rectangular." Paul Maestri came up with another possibility, in today's Halo Heads. (Louis Wu 19:49:06 UTC) (permalink)
I wasn't actually scared
More local art - Luke McKay whipped up another RvB comic, this one looking at the end of the most recent episode. Some minor artistic liberties taken. (Louis Wu 19:04:49 UTC) (permalink)
New Pinkuh-isms
In the last few days, Pinkuh has whipped up a pair of new images; the first is a tattoo design for Frag Qu33n, the second is a self-portrait... as a furry, in Mjolnir armor. (Well, sort of.) Safe for work... mostly. (Louis Wu 17:05:36 UTC) (permalink)
HD Halo
LANwhore Mintz attended his second major LAN in two weeks recently - you can find the writeup of this original Halo experience at the Hushed Casket. (Congrats to Frankie, who ALSO made it to his second community LAN in two weeks - the man's racking up frequent flyer miles like they're Halo 3 medals.) (Louis Wu 15:01:56 UTC) (permalink)

Championship Gaming Series (IGN/DirecTV)
IGN has a story about a DirecTV/IGN partnership to bring you the Championship Gaming Series, an international gaming league. Looks like videogames on TV is an idea whose time has come... thanks, Neloms. (Louis Wu 14:45:51 UTC) (permalink)
H2V and Xbox - Playable?
Over at Bungie.net, the third question in the Halo 2 Vista FAQ pretty much puts the kibosh on the idea that H2Vista players will be able to play cross-platform with Halo 2 Xbox players. So when Robbie Bach came out during the CES Keynote this week and mentioned that Halo 2 would be cross-platform, Halo fans assumed he meant that they'd be able to share Friends lists, and the like. However, GameInformer has a story up this morning that suggests that the two WILL be interplayable:
Speaking to one of the Microsoft product managers currently working on both Shadowrun and Halo 2 for Vista, he stated that this would in fact be the case, and it's currently in testing. However, whether Halo 2 will be playable between PCs and the console at the launch of Halo 2 on Vista is unknown at this point.
This flies in the face of everything Bungie's said publicly about Halo 2 Vista multiplayer; it'll be interesting to see if it turns out to be a misunderstanding, or if some new functionality has been added that nobody was talking about before now. Update: KP has chimed in with an official Bungie denial - Halo 2 Vista and Halo 2 Xbox will not be interplayable; whoever GameInformer spoke to at CES was either misinformed, or misunderstood. Read KP's post for a more complete description of how the two games might interact. (Louis Wu 13:57:36 UTC) (permalink)
Spending Time with your Family
The World Series of Video Gaming is hosting an exhibition All-Star game at CES this week; MoB will face FBI (yes, the teams were picked for the real-life juxtapositions of their names). Read the details at Amped eSports. (Louis Wu 13:50:10 UTC) (permalink)
