This site rocks.
Mmm... pie. (Thanks, Razorback.) (Louis Wu 21:20:28 UTC) (permalink)
Back to the Future
Couple of updates on yesterday's news... The guys running Sector.7 have bought a domain name, www.sector7-halo.com, and will be moving there shortly. (Currently, it's just a placeholder page.) And the editorial by poena.dare on hacking and what it means to the Bungie community has generated a host of interesting comments, including several from Bungie employees. Go read.

The artwork keeps coming
Three new Art tidbits - a nice satire piece, a boot logo for Win2K, and a cute exercise pic. Check 'em all out in our Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 20:23:09 UTC) (permalink)
New Banners
In the last couple of days, we've gotten a couple of banner submissions, from Andrew Austin and Fuzzy - you can find both of them in our Banners section. (Louis Wu 20:03:57 UTC) (permalink)
Wanna know a story?
poena.dare is putting together an interview of Brannon Boren, a consultant at Microsoft who's been intricately involved in the creation of the 'Halo Bible', the collection of information about the Halo universe that all Halo content creators (official ones - book authors, folks writing the stories for the games) use to keep their facts straight. If you have anything you'd like to ask Brannon, send your question along to p.d - he'll add it to the list. (No promises on answers, of course - Brannon isn't going to violate any secrets he's been entrusted with... but it can't hurt to ask!) Update: the window for questions is now closed. Thanks to all who contributed! (Louis Wu 13:49:47 UTC) (permalink)
Hacking Movie 2
Here's the first of several Hacking movies we have for your perusal. This is another one from Dozi, the guy who made the first one - again, sound is pretty rough. (Much rougher than the first one, as a matter of fact. There's a static rumble throughout the entire movie.) You're watching it for the action, however, not the sound. :) Things shown in this film: bumping a jackal, some hilarious high jumps, bumping marines, grunts, and hunters, and more fun jumps. It's 2:23 long, and 9.3 megs big, in QuickTime format. You can grab it at Mythica.org. (Some of the ones in the queue contain many more tricks - if you're limiting yourself, this isn't the best one to grab.) Update: MereCatFish writes to point out that blam.forerunners.org has mirrored this. (He also points out that the main site has been updated.) We love mirrors! (Louis Wu 09:45:32 UTC) (permalink)
These aren't the chips you're looking for.
To all the folks asking questions about modding your xbox, and hacking Halo: while we here at HBO think the results are pretty cool, this is a Halo site, not an Xbox modding site. We do not provide any information on how to mod your Xbox or how to hack Halo, nor will we in the future. There are plenty of places to get this sort of information, if you're interested - if you can't find them without our help, you probably shouldn't be looking. (I'm adding this information to our FAQ, as well.) (Louis Wu 09:36:23 UTC) (permalink)
Who'da thunk it?
Famine to feast. Within a day of the release of the Halo mod information, we've received 4 NEW hack-related movies (and there's still one non-hack related film in the queue). There's well over half an hour of unreleased footage at this point... we'll start releasing some of it in the morning, but please, please, please - don't send any more right now. :) Look for an update in about 8 hours. (It'll be doled out a movie at a time, every couple of days - we simply don't have the bandwidth for anything else.) (Louis Wu 02:15:15 UTC) (permalink)
