Something Important, yes, sir!
Pallor points out that a blurb in the current issue of Rolling Stone has Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) stating that Halo actually delayed work on his newest album:
Halo is a spectacularly done piece of work. I got it right before I was going into the studio. I thought, 'OK, to get on with my life, I better just finish this thing.' It put me back a few days. But what's a few days when there's something important to do?"
What's a few days, indeed? This blurb was first mentioned to us by David, a couple of weeks ago... but there wasn't anything about the work stoppage, so we forgot about it. (Louis Wu 20:55:11 UTC) (permalink)
Halo for UT 2K3
Hehe - you knew it had to happen. Kayas pointed out a map for Unreal Tournament 2k3 called 'SOT Bloodgulch'. The screenshot shows a bit more... um, scaffolding than I'm used to, but the concept is great. (Louis Wu 20:46:18 UTC) (permalink)
Gotta get me one of them...

A couple of days' worth of fiction
Apologies to Fan Fiction writers; on busy weekends, more time-consuming tasks get pushed back, and formatting fiction entries falls into that category. Here, then, are the submissions from over the weekend:
- Wings of Death, part 11, by el_halo_diablo
- Revolution, part 18 (series finale), by Gruntkiller
- Cry for a Hero: Epilogue, by el_halo_diablo
- Halo 2: Return of Death, part 1, by Lord Dagon
- He's Baaaaaack! Intro, by Killer_Fairy
Note that there are two series-finishers in there... (Louis Wu 16:57:31 UTC) (permalink)
Carnage in the Hills
ICDedPpl wanted to point out that the 7th Column chapter MOSHPIT will be hosting a tournament in mid-November, with $850 in cash on the line (if full attendance - 64 people - is reached), and pizza, soda, and snacks for everyone. Entrance fee is $20 a head, and the location is Rochester Hills, MI. If you're in the area, check it out! (Louis Wu 14:31:37 UTC) (permalink)
Monday morning desktops
Four new desktops for you in our Wallpaper collection, including one from the curator of the newly opened Bungie Wallpaper Stash over at Forerunners.org. Go check 'em out... and check the stash for other Bungie-related (not just Halo) desktops! (Louis Wu 14:21:15 UTC) (permalink)
HBO banners for you
Charles Powell has whipped up a pair of banners for our Banners section... we're honored. You'll find both a small version and a larger one. (Louis Wu 14:06:15 UTC) (permalink)
More Phoenix stuff
The Posthumous Phoenix Artwork page has been updated again. (Louis Wu 13:43:33 UTC) (permalink)
What is the groundspeed of an unladen warthog?
It's been said that Halo can inspire obsession. We recently received a pretty clear example of this. Zachary Hahn, armed with Halo and a stopwatch, managed to run some time trials and calculate various speeds and rates related to Halo vehicles and weapons. You'll find the results in our Miscellaneous section, in a document called 'Random Stats'. (Note: except for rounding numbers with more than 3 significant digits, and adding the note from Chucky Gough, we here at HBO had nothing to do with the actual values; any contentions should be taken up with Mr. Hahn.)
