Forward-looking Fan Fiction
Velker submits the first part of his 'Halo 2' saga, picking up not too far after Halo leaves off. Spoilers, of course, abound - read this only if you've played the game. You'll find it (and plenty of other fun stuff) in our Fan Fiction section. (Louis Wu 22:52:15 UTC) (permalink)
Apologies for the delays in updating the Tricks page - there was some recoding necessary in order to allow multiple credit for specific tricks. That's all finished, now, and the newest entry is up - it shows (with a series of films, from a collection of sources) a pretty interesting glitch in Halo, and maybe suggests some interesting ways to exploit this. Thanks to everyone's patience... enjoy Frozen Stuff! (Spoiler warning should be unnecessary for this section, but I've screwed up recently, so...) (Louis Wu 21:32:50 UTC) (permalink)
Halo SETI stats... coming
Apologies to those few of you waiting on Halo SETI Team stats this week - they were collected this morning, but the SETI@home team once again changed the page format, invalidating all the automatic processing scripts here. We'll get 'em posted sometime, today, or maybe tomorrow; they'll still be Monday morning's stats, though. (Louis Wu 18:45:48 UTC) (permalink)
R.net's not dead!
Quick note - Rampancy.net, a long-time Bungie fansite, has not (as it might seem) died recently - they're just having DNS troubles. The servers are fine, and can be reached directly via their IP addresses:
They're doing their best to fix the problems - good luck to them! (This message is being crossposted to a number of relevant b.org pages, in the hopes of hitting all interested parties.) (Louis Wu 05:58:58 UTC) (permalink)
Can you reach the Sarge?
Yesterday, the Eleet Ops Faction released an image which we added to our One-Shots section - within hours, folks wanted to know "how?" The team sent along a 7.1 mb MPEG showing how the descent happened... and Brian Towne, of mythica.org, has once again stepped into the breach and provided a home for this. (Of course, additional mirrors are always welcome.) This isn't a must-download; there's no sound, and the footage is really interesting only to those fanatics bent on exploring every inch of Halo's surfaces... but for that subgroup of our readers, a heartfelt thanks to Brian is due!
