Puzzleball 03 - with schwag
c0ld vengeance continues his creation of Forged puzzle maps; Puzzleball 03 has been released. This one even has a prize for the fastest finisher - a copy of Crackdown, courtesy of Simpsons rule. Go read the rules, and get to practicing! Update: Due to a forum archiving, the original puzzle post is no longer accessible for replying; c0ld's created a new one. If you're reading this after the archiving, use that to post your results. (Louis Wu 19:37:19 UTC) (permalink)
Serious Issues.
Many people are annoyed by the delays occurring with the Halo: Uprising comic from Marvel. Judging by today's One One Se7en, Stuntmutt is one of them. (Louis Wu 18:47:22 UTC) (permalink)
Tenuous Security
TTL Demag0gue has gone back to the poster-edged look for Reclaimer - Chapter Two, Part Five looks great, and makes it clear that the Viper team is in trouble. (Louis Wu 11:24:52 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fanfic - on Friday!
After being posted a couple of days late last week, the weekly Fan Fiction update is back on track. This week's offering is understandably light - six pieces. Go read! (Louis Wu 11:20:50 UTC) (permalink)

WTFiction?!
1UP has put together a graphical summary of the Halo 3 storyline, for folks who might be confused about certain points. Not all the info is canon (for example, I was under the impression that Installation 05 was closer to Earth than Installation 04), but in general, it's a decent overview, in an entertaining format. Thanks, BlueNinja. (Louis Wu 11:11:10 UTC) (permalink)
Halo movie - speculation returns
Don was the first to let us know about an article on Yahoo! Games - it's another summary of games that might be up on the big screen in the forseeable future. Halo's on the list, though the project is currently in limbo. Yahoo is pessimistic about the chances that a decent flick coming out of the franchise... (Louis Wu 10:39:37 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Stats - and a Bungie Beatdown
Halo3.junk.ws is quickly becoming the place to go to look at your Halo 3 stats; the options they offer over Bungie.net are ridiculous. They've just added a game browser that lets you filter your games based on more than 20 parameters - date played, game length, headshots, type of medals... you can see exactly how you perform, in any way you choose. If the results were directly linkable, for example, I'd show you how selecting '11/28/2007' games for Indutiomarus would yield the three Humpday Challenge games that the Junk.ws team played against Bungie this week. They lost that challenge - but you can read either their writeup (on their front page, or on their forum with comments), or you can read Bungie's writeup, on Bungie.net. Looks like it was a good match! And the stats can be exhaustively analyzed using the tools these guys have put together. If you haven't signed up for a (free) account - do it today!
