Halo Goodies on eBay
Gryphonosiris found a pretty cool Spartan helmet, signed by the entire Red vs Blue crew, on eBay - almost a week left, you can be sure this'll go for a pretty penny. (He also noticed another one of those 3.5 foot statues.) (Louis Wu 22:49:22 UTC) (permalink)

The Scissor Sisters Game with Fame
Yesterday, Jillybean stopped by the forum with a somewhat cryptic message about the Scissor Sisters and Halo 2 - it didn't make sense to me until I saw a press release this morning. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, that press release isn't anywhere public yet - but here are the relevant paragraphs:
LONDON, 23rd May 2007 -It was revealed today that chart topping superstars, Scissor Sisters, will be taking on gamers from across Europe in a unique Game with Fame event on the Halo 3 Multiplayer BETA via Xbox LIVE™.
The band, who launched Xbox Soundtracks in February with their remixed version of "She's My Man" cut to the Halo Wars trailer will be playing members of the 6 million strong Xbox LIVE community at 11.00 BST on 30th May 2007 direct from their hotel in France before going on stage later that day as part of their latest tour.
11.00 BST is UTC+1, or 6am EDT, or 3 am PDT. So, if you're interested in finding these musicians online, you should start looking in about 18 hours. (Louis Wu 16:10:15 UTC) (permalink)
Has Bungie nailed the 90 feet?
MTV reporter Stephen Totilo and Newsweek reporter N'Gai Croal have begun a new 'Vs. Mode' - a discussion of the pros and cons of a particular game. The game, in this case, is Halo 3. Part 1 is up now. Interesting read! (Louis Wu 15:24:55 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: Pramape AotCR
Yesterday, EwoudCP stopped by to point out a Flash video he'd created at Newgrounds - Halo: Pramape AotCR. Take a look! (Louis Wu 15:22:12 UTC) (permalink)
Zune Giveaway - folks are shooting themselves
Wow. Sometimes... I gotta wonder. So we're offering folks the chance to win one of four free Zunes, right? And there's a page we've put up that contains rules and regulations. They're pretty simple rules and regulations... or so I thought. I looked into the uploads directory today, to get a sense of how much work we were going to have ahead of us when this contest ends - and there were 62 uploaded entries. Thinking that I could get a jump on the sorting, I downloaded them and began to look through them... and commenced pounding my head against my desk.
- 11 entries were commercially-released songs
- 4 entries were previously-released material (songs or movies)
- 18 entries did not meet our format/size requirements
- 2 entries weren't even Halo files
Folks - if you want to participate in this contest, read the rules. File types, file sizes, SCREEN sizes - they're all defined. And the rules state that if you can't bother to meet those requirements, your entry will be discarded. Why waste your time - and mine? Check before you submit. Thanks.

Spartan Laser, Evolving
On Saturday, we mentioned CitizenErased27 and the work he'd begun on a Spartan Laser replica. Over the weekend, there were a pair of new updates - Saturday night saw some dimension calculations, and this morning we were treated with pictures of the basic frame, completed. Progress is continuing apace! (Louis Wu 12:06:51 UTC) (permalink)
