I Love Bees Scouting Notes
Folks who love the details behind a project are gonna love this tidbit from Wonderland - one of the people responsible for finding public phones for use in the I Love Bees ARG has passed along the original scouting notes she wrote up to Cory Doctorow, for a new publishing project. Fun! Thanks, Ross "I think I'm up to 136 now" Mills. (Louis Wu 20:33:23 UTC) (permalink)
Friday Caption Fun, Round 79
Hey, did you know it was Friday? That means Friday Caption Fun at Hawty McBloggy's! Check out the caption submissions for last week's pic (funky backwards shot) and add your own for this week's shot (funky frontwards double-flag jump). woohoo! (Louis Wu 20:27:47 UTC) (permalink)
untz untz untz (oonsk?)
If you're jonesin' for a rave, swing by Bungie.net and watch 'The Third Halo 3 Light Show' - lots of colors, lots of explosions, lots of techno. (Louis Wu 20:23:38 UTC) (permalink)
Nights Sorrow
Bungie has word of a pretty cool fan-created desktop dedicated to Halo: Reach - check it out at DeviantART! (Louis Wu 17:22:46 UTC) (permalink)
Firefight Friday: Lost Zoo
FyreWulff is back with another episode of Firefight Friday - this challenge is called 'Lost Zoo' (it'll take place on Lost Platoon). Visit the website and sign up for the difficulty that makes you comfortable - and get to battling! (Louis Wu 16:33:51 UTC) (permalink)
MitHoM: Part 4 of 4 Tomorrow
Tomorrow, Halo Waypoint will be presenting the final episode of 'Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian' - the banner below leads to a teaser pic. If you haven't read the story in Halo Evolutions, this should be a nailbiter!

End of an Era
Rod noticed that there's an announcement up on MajorNelson.com stating that as of April 15 of this year, Microsoft will no longer be offering LIVE service for the original Xbox - or (more relevantly for readers here) for original Xbox games. This means that if you want to play Halo 2 on Xbox LIVE, you have just a bit over 2 more months to do it. Update: looks like there'll be an actual farewell celebration... thanks, Sketch! More when we know about it. (Louis Wu 13:14:15 UTC) (permalink)
Scion is your Sword
Hedgemony found a page of pictures and text put up by cosplayer Scion, devoted to a costume of Cortana - she built her costume in time for the 2009 Canadian National Fan Expo, but this is the first we're seeing it! Check it out!

Becoming a Fanboy Again
IGN talked to Frank O'Connor about Halo Legends, and many other Halo-related things - swing by to read the details. (Did you know he thinks the Halo movie could be the next Avatar? Wait, maybe that's not what he said...) Thanks, Gilver. (Louis Wu 13:13:22 UTC) (permalink)
Arbi7er
AssaultGodzilla is back - this time he's created 'Arbi7er', set to Link Park's 'Numb'. The music may be tired, but the clips are well-chosen, and the timing, as usual, is quite good. (I will say that although I've seen FAR too many Halo videos set to this song, it's actually quite appropriate here.)

Halo Legends Soundtrack
Jordan491 noticed that (at least for US residents) the iTunes Store contains previews of all the songs on the Halo Legends Soundtrack, and gives you the opportunity to preorder it. Many of the pieces are off the Halo soundtracks - but quite a number are not. (The $9.99 download price is considerably lower than Amazon's $15.98 preorder price.) Go see!

Friday's Fan Fiction
Just three new pieces available for you in the Fan Fiction section this week - go read 'em! (One of the pieces, Halo Clairvoyance Chapter 3, is also available at DeviantART, along with its cover art - thanks, Halochief89.) (Louis Wu 13:08:15 UTC) (permalink)
