Sad News
We got word from ThatWeasel's girlfriend that ThatWeasel, a staple in the Halo community for several years, passed away on February 7. We don't really have any information on what happened (and his girlfriend is a little too broken up to go into it)... but it was clearly sudden, and unexpected. It's always hard when a community member goes... we'll miss you, TW. (His site will continue, at least for the near future; his girlfriend will take over running it.)

It holds the universe together.
Heh - cool. gunluva created a bunch of Halo weapons out of duct tape, cardboard, and some popsicle sticks - you can see pictures in his Red vs Blue profile's images section if you have an account there, or direct-linked in this forum post if you don't. (Louis Wu 15:17:01 UTC) (permalink)
Weekly Fanfic Update
Seventeen new pieces in the Fan Fiction section this week - go read. (Side note: I try to post fanfic on Fridays - but sometimes Fridays are crazy days, and it doesn't happen. There is almost nothing related to the administration of this website more annoying than being publicly berated for not posting someone's content; if you think I've slighted you, you're welcome to send me email, but posting in a public forum is NOT the way to get on my good side. There's a new rule related to the Fan Fiction section: if you post publicly, asking why I haven't put up your story yet, your story will be deleted from the queue. Petty? Yep. Will it get the message across to folks who are just a little too impatient for my tastes? ::shrug:: I don't know - but either way, the problem is solved, as far as I can see.)

Halo Portable Update
Mintz sends word that Halo Portable has a music pack of stuff from Patriarch917, new wallpapers for everyone, and the Weekly Update, formatted for your PSP (Louis Wu 10:34:17 UTC) (permalink)
Podtacular Ep 49
HaloPlanet mentioned the release of PodTacular Episode 49 back on Thursday - I kept forgetting to post it. (Been a rough few days here...) Speculation about Halo 3 is the big subject. Go listen! (Louis Wu 10:31:12 UTC) (permalink)
Flag Tactics
Wow - swing by Halo2Forum and grab a copy of this Flag Tactics vid (58MB, WMP9 format) - some pretty amazing techniques. Most of 'em would be pretty hard to pull off in an actual game - but a few look pretty straightforward, and might just change the CTF games you play. (The Lockout flag tosses are totally feasible, and mimic some of the superfast captures I remember from Hang 'em High.) Thanks, Z. (Louis Wu 10:27:58 UTC) (permalink)
Fangtasm
Today's Weekly Update is, unsurprisingly, mostly about the Halo 2 for Vista announcement yesterday. It's worth a read, especially if you feel betrayed. There's also some pretty droolworthy stuff about upcoming Halo novels , and a rather disturbing picture. And, of course, you can read it locally if you so choose. I haven't been to the forum yet, but I've no doubt Frankie was first with the announcement. Hang on... yep. (Louis Wu 00:22:43 UTC) (permalink)
