SC Fun
Rockslider continues to find new ways to have fun in the original Halo - up today, 5 new tidbits on Silent Cartographer. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 14:02:13 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Situation Creator
spartanerik noticed a Flash-based 'Halo Situation Creator' at newgrounds; drag and drop Halo sprites (looks like mostly Fuzzy's stuff) into existing backgrounds. Something to play with? (Louis Wu 14:00:43 UTC) (permalink)
Sacred Icon Now Transcribed
Finn finally got to formatting our second-to-last level transcript - Sacred Icon is now available for reading. There's only one left... and Finn is offering a prize for the first person to submit an error-free version of Quarantine Zone. Granted, that prize is only his thanks... but wouldn't you like it if that person were you? Update: Looks like Spartan Jag submitted the first QZ transcript. Yay! (Louis Wu 10:58:24 UTC) (permalink)
Save The Whales
Pinkuh updated her Lost The Lead comic - answering the question, "what can MC do to piss off Cortana?" Go read! (Louis Wu 10:54:57 UTC) (permalink)
And one last one.
Bah. I was out most of yesterday, and when I came back in, I didn't take the time to read through my email - which means I missed the reference to this post at Rampancy.net, which went up a couple of hours before April 1 passed into April 2. Marketing... taken to a new level. Leave it to Narc. (Louis Wu 10:24:51 UTC) (permalink)
April Fools - the Wrapup
So, yeah. It's April 2... which means the silliness that is April 1 is over again, for another year. For those who might be more optimistic than discerning, the following stories were (for better or worse) not real: Halo on the PSP, Halo - the MMO, One One Se7en: the Book (I think), The Squadron Ep 17, Halo for the DS, the Helljumpers' pink makeover, the silly Xboxic story, and Halo 2 on OSX. Everything else was legit. If you wondered why HBO didn't seem to do anything this year (even the MMO press release wasn't ours - Ross Mills wrote that), it's pretty silly - we DID do something, but it got spoiled at the last minute by someone posting it on our forum. I didn't have any time left to paper over the damage - so it was easier to just pass on it. Seems silly to totally waste the work, though - c0ld, KP and I spent a goodly chunk of time on it (some of us more than others)... so you can view it here, for posterity. It ain't perfect... but it was sort of fun. Maybe next year we'll have better luck. (Louis Wu 03:59:10 UTC) (permalink)
Konichiwa, vato!
Heroes & Heretics Episode 4, 'Operation: Incontinent Elephant', has been posted over at the Slacker Entertainment website. More troops - but no substantial increase in battle strength. Poor Feldman... Thanks, WereSloth. (Louis Wu 03:36:40 UTC) (permalink)
