IGN's ARG writeup
IGN has a writeup of the ARG stuff to date online. If you haven't been following along (and you didn't feel like reading Sir Topham Hat's summary this morning), this might be a nice way to catch up. Thanks, xMixMasterx. (Louis Wu 19:00:33 UTC) (permalink)
Work In Progress.
Today's Guest One One Se7en was created by Shishka - while the artwork bears NO resemblance to the original, the Shleprock-like personality should be easily recognizable. (Louis Wu 16:39:46 UTC) (permalink)
Podtacular 116
Podtacular 116 has been released - discussion with an H2V player, plus Tied the Leader, 2old2play, and Halo Unyielding. Go listen! Thanks, Kiaffex. (Louis Wu 16:20:18 UTC) (permalink)
Last chance to vote for Original Song
A quick reminder: voting for the best original song entry in our Zune Giveaway ends in less than 24 hours; if you haven't looked them over and made a choice, now's the time! We'll be putting the montage finalists up in the morning. (Louis Wu 13:07:52 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fan Fiction
Eleven new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section for you today - enjoy! (Louis Wu 12:52:59 UTC) (permalink)
Goin' Inside
Over on Bungie.net, there's a new Halo Humpday Challenge written up - it's not really a typical challenge, it's a bunch of internal games on a network none of us has access to, playing at least one map we've never seen... but it's an interesting read nonetheless. Thanks, Avateur. (Louis Wu 12:20:48 UTC) (permalink)
Swords and Pistols
BARBARIC RAGE was looking around, and stumbled on this thread at the Statue Forum - pictures of the upcoming Master Chief ARTFX statue from Kotobukiya. That thing is gorgeous! The thread links to a website that purports to have a preorder available for this piece - but the link on their main page doesn't work. Coming in September... (Louis Wu 12:07:17 UTC) (permalink)
H2V reviews at GT, VE
GameTrailers has a video review of Halo 2 Vista (in HD) for your viewing pleasure (QuickTime or WMP9). Thanks, MasterChief2829. Update: Should have looked through my mail before posting this - there's another H2V review at Voodoo Extreme. (Pretty unhappy with it - couldn't get MP to work.) (Louis Wu 12:02:11 UTC) (permalink)
Oh, Piss-boy...
A few months ago, KP took his mandatory break from Bungie (contracted employees must take three months off after nine months on) - and the way things worked out, he was hired back not by Bungie, but by Xbox.com, working under TriXie and organizing the cool content they bring to you. What sort of cool content, you might ask? Well... things like an interview with KP, conducted by TriXie. Heh. (It's a funny read, and mentions Halo a LOT, making it relevant here even if it wasn't about KP.) (Louis Wu 11:40:11 UTC) (permalink)
Watching... and waiting
The new ARG that kicked off a few days ago is exploding; last night saw the uncoverings of an absurd amount of new information. There's a summary of the earlier parts of the timeline at args.bungie.org, written by Sir Topham Hat - it's a bit behind right now, but it's a good start. (It would seem that all of this began with a link found in a newspaper that wasn't supposed to be released before the weekend - we might be ahead of the game here.) Poke around args.bungie.org to learn about a comic on Halo3.com, the base-7 countdown clock, a mysterious MySpace page, and the identity of the company behind this game. And more. (I'd really like to suggest that newcomers READ a bit before they start posting; you'll find that an awful lot of what you want to talk about has already been talked about. Bring yourself up to speed FIRST, and you'll be contributing to the signal, rather than the noise.) (Louis Wu 11:31:19 UTC) (permalink)
