Halo World adds content
Roland Scarlett writes to say that Halo World (which we mentioned about a week ago) has been adding content at a rapid clip. Most sections are fleshed out now. There are a couple of games on the site - one is a variant of Bungie's Extreme Closeups, and the other is called 'Guess The Spot', where you're given a screenshot with a number of blanked-out areas, and you need to choose the correct one to answer the question. (No fair cheating by looking at the originals!) Watch for a few broken links in the top nav bar. (Barring some MAJOR changes, this will be the last post we make about this site with a progress update.) (Louis Wu 21:50:52 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Cover Art - Covered!
c0ld vengeance's Halo 2 Cover Art challenge ended a few days ago - he's now posted his results. For the Front Cover Only section, he gave the award to Ninjas on Fire. For the Front and Back Cover section, Ed Murphy took home the honors. (Check the forum post for more details and justification.) In addition, we've added 6 MORE entries that have come in; this subsection of the site will remain as a permanent fixture, and all Halo 2 cover art sumbitted in the future will go here. (It's unlikely that I'll move the existing entries from the Miscellaneous Art section, because it would break too many existing links... but I might find a way around the problem some day.)

mailbox sweep, first run
Attempting to BEGIN to clear out the Artwork backlog... first up, Miscellaneous Art. We've got a new Halo mini-game, a very nice exchange medium, and a misplaced Halo Box Art entry. You'll find 'em all in the Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 20:17:19 UTC) (permalink)
Don't blame him - he had a fever.
Okay, so if you're stripping your field piece and washing the bits in denatured alcohol, and you fall asleep and your head lands in the cleaning bowl, and lightning hits what you disgorge as it comes flying out of your mouth and torques it, by some freaky cosmic coincidence, into human-looking words... this is what might result. (Be nice to Scav - he hasn't been the same since the Yellow Banshee incident.) (Louis Wu 18:14:33 UTC) (permalink)
Took a little while...
After two disappointing attempts, Team Overkill makes the iGames Winter Season Regionals in the 3rd Qualifying round. Read the details on their website. Congrats, guys! (Louis Wu 16:41:23 UTC) (permalink)
Spartan II dogtags - up for grabs
Ever wish you could get your hands on a set of those Spartan II dogtags that were being distributed in Japan? Well, thanks to Nekomusume, now you can. She's got one extra set she's auctioning off on eBay... starting bid is just under $36, and you've got almost a week to decide. (Louis Wu 01:18:14 UTC) (permalink)
