Trunks likes you.
Trunks stopped in with three goodies for you: the first is a Half-Life 2 Deathmatch map for which he took inspiration from Wizard and Derelict, the second is some fanart, and the third is a wallpaper created from the Halo Wars artwork we mentioned this morning. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 21:15:26 UTC) (permalink)

Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind

A Halo 'bible'... for real?
Hmm... General Vagueness found an old post on ComicMix discussing a comment made by a consultant at the New York Comic Con in 2008. Apparently, a company called Starlight Runner Entertainment was commissioned by Microsoft to create a 'bible' for the Halo universe. There's nothing on Starlight's website about this project, and as far as I know, it's never been mentioned since... it's unknown if it's gone anywhere in the past year.

Nice Halo Wars Art
Errod stopped in with a really nice piece of Halo Wars artwork - it was used as a cover image for a Danish gaming mag originally, but he managed to get an unmodified version from the magazine's layout editor. Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:06:32 UTC) (permalink)

Game Fuel - Coming Back
When Halo 3 was launched, one of the product tie-ins was Mountain Dew Game Fuel - a cherry-flavored variant of Mountain Dew. Some people loved this - but after the game's launch, the product left the market. According to the Escapist, though, it's coming back this summer... albeit with a World of Warcraft label instead of a Halo 3 label. Hooray for caffeinated cough medicine!
