HNC Regional Winners Posted
The winners (and alternates) of the Regionals in the Halo National Tournament have been posted at Bungie's Tru7h and Reconciliation site - check 'em out! Congrats to everyone who got this far... and good luck next week in LA! (Louis Wu 21:08:11 UTC) (permalink)
Poll Smash
Instant poll over at Gamespot - 'Which upcoming console first-person shooter are you most excited about?' Currently, Halo 2 holds the lead, with 40% of the more than 11,000 votes cast. Closest competitor? Doom 3, at 22%. Go vote! (Thanks to Trotskij for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 19:30:22 UTC) (permalink)
Announcing...
Woohoo! It took FOREVER, but the Miscellaneous section is FINALLY ONLINE! Browse through it, and find all the fun stuff we've collected over the past three years that doesn't fit anywhere else. There are some tasty morsels in there... (Before anyone asks, there's no fan-created music, because in the not-too-distant future, there'll be a Fan Music page.) Thanks to Phil Saulnier for doing some of the original sorting, and to vector40 for many of the descriptions and lots of testing. Whew! (Louis Wu 16:25:35 UTC) (permalink)
Wort Wort Wort?
Elite 'taunts'? Skeletor mentioned that Marty O'Donnell had commented on some elite 'taunts' back in May, at the E3 fanfest... but had suggested that hearing them in-game would be pretty hard (too many variables to line up). Surreptitious recorded some stuff that he believes are some of those taunts - is this what Marty meant? Or is there more to find? (Louis Wu 15:13:32 UTC) (permalink)
...You will know what real pain is.
Whoa. Stephen Hawking has made an ad for Xbox Live! (Okay, okay, not really - but dang, Blackstar did a fine job of it anyway.) 10 megs, 1 minute, QT 5 format; we're not hosting it, but that's because Blackstar said we didn't need to. We would, though - it's really funny. And we will - if downloads get out of hand at Blackstar Productions. Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:00:03 UTC) (permalink)
Nice lighting...
Shaun Alphonso has put together a vision of the Halo 2 box. You'll find it in our Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 10:20:13 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 2 Fan Banner
Random Hero has submitted a Halo 2 Banner - we've added it to our Banners collection. (Lost in the mail for a day or so...) (Louis Wu 10:10:56 UTC) (permalink)

This is the last fanfic update for the day - anything that comes in now will be posted tomorrow. (Louis Wu 09:49:35 UTC) (permalink)
Now you see it...
Hmm... interesting. BOLL noticed that the Halo 2 trailer countdown at xbox.com is gone. Glitch in their database system, or something more nefarious? (Louis Wu 08:46:10 UTC) (permalink)
