How lame is that?
Last week, MacGamer put up a feature called 'MacGamer's Gaming "It" List' - what's cool and what's lame in the world of Mac Gaming. Bungie made the list - twice. First, for the lameness involved with arguments about whether Halo's coming to the Mac or not... and then, for the lameness of being bought by Microsoft. Who says Mac users aren't bitter? (Thanks to Jon Chang for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 19:31:07 UTC) (permalink)
Drivin' machine...
Justin drops off another desktop image for our Wallpaper section - this time, the focus is the Warthog. Take a look... (Louis Wu 18:53:11 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Babies...
Due Q4 2002: The McLees Expansion Pack! Congrats, Lorraine and Rob... and thanks to Lorraine for the added info about Bungie's inner machinations! (There was some speculation about how many teams are working at Bungie - Lorraine clarified that there are currently 2. Phoenix is obviously one... and the Halo team is probably the other (working on Halo 2?).) (Louis Wu 17:52:26 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 - announced by a UK gameseller
lol - Why You Should Never Believe Game Sellers, Part 77: Greg noticed that GamePlay is willing to sell you Halo 2 right now, as a pre-order. The funny part?
Please note that as this title was just officially announced at this years E3, the pricing has not been set and as such the price here is higher than expexcted.
For those who put their scorecards down for a bathroom break, Halo 2 was not officially announced anywhere—E3 or elsewhere. It's a good bet that it'll get made—Bungie would be foolish to pass up on the chance to make a sequel for the fastest million-seller in next-gen console history—but it sure as heck don't exist, "officially", yet. Just something to keep in mind, the next time you're talking to a salesperson in Babbages... (Louis Wu 14:04:57 UTC) (permalink)
Squish!
Heh - Halo shows up in today's Real LIfe Comics - go ahead, tell me this has never happened to you. Thanks to Uriel for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 12:16:44 UTC) (permalink)
Where's that dang 'upcoming mods' page?
Roger Wilco, unwilling to wait for Halo tools to be released, has added another few designs to his 'Halo Vehicles' page - the 'Warbow', the 'Lobster', and my personal favorite, the 'GNERD'... check 'em out. (Don't forget to follow the little movie icons at the beginning of each entry - they lead to short quicktime flicks showing a full 360° view...) (Louis Wu 02:46:09 UTC) (permalink)
Finishing time?
Hmm. Taylor Helsper wants to know how long it takes to beat Halo - so he's set up a basic site ('Halo Times') to compile this data. Simply mail him your time to finish a level (and the difficulty you played on), and he'll build a list of the best times. In his words - please be truthful. (Louis Wu 02:08:47 UTC) (permalink)
Mario Chief
Paul has created a small Halo game involving Mario-like rules; it's PC-only, but we've had it tested, and it's virus-free; at 600k, what do you have to lose? Grab it today! (Louis Wu 01:12:27 UTC) (permalink)
