Two new Halo reviews
A couple of Halo reviews have surfaced recently... JJBok spotted one over at Gamer Chickz, and Blue's News noted one at Game Basement. We've added both to our Reviews Database. (Louis Wu 16:35:57 UTC) (permalink)
Blackstar Productions produces
Brian Josselyn, aka Blackstar, has put together a couple of movies for your viewing pleasure. The first is a trick with relatively far-reaching implications - what are the limits on projectile flight? (This has been added to the Tricks queue, as well.) You can find some interesting discussion about this movie on our forum. The second movie is a highlights reel of a lanfest held right here at HBO HQ last weekend - we called it 'Freedom to Kill', and there was quite a lot of that. Brian's movie combines halo footage with some live voice action from the game, and some inspiring music choices - it weighs in at 30 megs (QT5 format), so be careful with it! (If demand is high, we'll rustle up some mirrors for this puppy.) (Louis Wu 16:15:59 UTC) (permalink)
Sno's Ultimate Tiporium opens
A few days ago, Sno mentioned his Ultimate Tiporium on our forum. It's not only Halo material, but there is a Halo page there. Some of the tips use techniques that Vidmasters might scorn... but sometimes, it's whatever keeps you alive! Take a look. (Louis Wu 16:09:38 UTC) (permalink)
New Captions shots posted
Overshadowed just a little bit by the official MS PR announcement about PC Halo was an update to the Screenshot Captions section of Bungie's Tru7h and Reconciliation site. There are 4 new photos... and some of 'em just make you want to break in to Bungie Headquarters and steal that dev kit. First heads-up props to MasterOmok, who sent us email about it.

Back, finally...
Whoa... back. Sort of. First off, I'd like to thank Count Zero for the backup this week - he kept the site running while I was incommunicado (unexpectedly so - who'da thunk that I wouldn't be able to find something faster than a 19200 connection in Bakersfield... or even any time to log in with it?). Figures that I'd miss the biggest news of the last few months, too, doesn't it? Secondly, in response to a suggestion by B-Sharp, news headlines will now appear in the news article they are associated with - to make recognition easier in following days. Finally, I'll be slowly (over the course of the day) adding news items for things that turned up this week but might not have made the main news page - but there are still quite a number of family activities planned for the day, and I have no idea how much time I'm going to have here. Might run through tomorrow, even. It's good to be home! (Louis Wu 10:45:52 UTC) (permalink)
