XBL Playlist Update Info
Ninja on Fire posted an update about the XBL Halo 2 Playlist on Bungie.net; it's not set in stone yet, but it's close. If all goes well, they'll deploy it in the next few weeks. Lots of changes - go read! Thanks, Sith. (Louis Wu 23:17:04 UTC) (permalink)
Oh! Well, I never...
Jillybean trawled (not trolled) our forum for some choice tidbits to sprinkle on your Story salad - swing by and read what she found. (Louis Wu 23:07:49 UTC) (permalink)
Figuratively Speaking.
Last One One Se7en before the 7 on the 7th deadline this Sunday - and Stuntmutt takes advantage of it to show you that no matter how groan-inducing the pun is that you came up with for your caption... he's got you beat. 7 ways to Sunday. (If you're wondering who that little guy talking to the MC is, check out this pic; he's a creation of Stunt's lovely bride-to-be. Luckily for all involved, he didn't get the job he was auditioning for.) (Louis Wu 16:49:46 UTC) (permalink)
Fanfic Update
What the heck is going on? There are 13 new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section today - but I had to delete 7 more because the authors ignored the (pretty short) Rules page! Geez, guys - if you pad a story with useless text to bypass the minimum word limit, we're gonna toss it. We've ALWAYS done that, we SAY we're gonna do that. If you submit a block of text with no formatting - we're gonna toss it. We SAY we're gonna do that. Why waste your own time, and mine, by ignoring these rules? For the folks who DIDN'T ignore the rules - thanks, your stuff is available now. (Louis Wu 16:44:03 UTC) (permalink)
MS signs on with WCG
The World Cyber Games just got a new sponsor - Microsoft. The pot for 2006 is rather large - half a million dollars. (Last year's pot for the Grand Final was $435,000, so this is a nice
bump.) Some of that extra money is coming from MS - along with all the hardware that the games will be played on (PCs and Xbox360s). Seems like Halo won't feel like so much of an afterthought any more... Update: Wonga. I'd forgotten that Halo isn't even being played this year. Thanks, Dante. (And KP.) OUCH!

Misc Art - Overflowing
More artwork. LOTS more. I had contacted a few prolific DeviantARTists - folks with large numbers of Halo-related images in their DeviantART profiles, but who'd not submitted those images here. Kamino185, lhs, and GTGundam (who did have SOME images here, just not all) each agreed to allow us to host copies of their Halo work in our Miscellaneous Art section - it's just another place to see this stuff. (If you're interested in the work, you should definitely follow the DA links provided; you can read the artists' comments, and add your own. You GOTTA check out Kamino185's Arbiter.) In addition to this veritable wealth of already-released material, we've got a ton of regularly-submitted stuff; scan through to find some real gems. (I'm pretty partial to Edli's depiction of Linda - but there is so much good stuff in there that I can't cover it all.) (Louis Wu 13:41:19 UTC) (permalink)
