Poll smash at TiberiumSun.com
Mentioned a couple of days ago at Battleground: Halo, but we slipped until Edgecrusher sent us mail: TiberiumSun.com has a poll up... "What caught your eye at E3?" Red Alert is still in first place (not surprising, given where the poll is), but Halo is a close second. See what you can do, okay? Pax. (Crux Fidelis 14:48:26 UTC) (permalink)

Well-Rounded Entertainment has posted their E3 Awards, and Halo garnered a Runner-up award in the Action category. (The category was won by Alice.)

Story page says Kortana no bomb
Seen on the Story page... seems the report a few days ago of a bomb with a nickname of "Kortana" might not be true after all. The makers of the bomb in question have said that no nickname has been given to it either by them or by the USAF customer. Hmm... oh, well, it seemed too good to be true, anyway.
