The Results Are In!
Swing by the results page for the final results of the Halo 2 Soundtrack contest - and congrats to our 7 winners! (You folks will probably get email later tonight or tomorrow with a bit more detail.) (Louis Wu 20:25:55 UTC) (permalink)
Soundtrack Contest Voting - Now Closed
Voting is now closed for the 7 on the Seventh Soundtrack contest; I'd post results, but I need to leave for a bit. I'll put something up later this afternoon, I hope. Although a number of the finalists had more than one entry in the final 49, the top 7 vote-getters were all from unique submitters, so no fudging will be needed! More to come...

Halo channel at Machinima.com
We got email from Michael Yates, over at Machinima.com - he wanted to point out a fully-devoted Halo channel with over 150 machinimas. They also have great tutorials and plenty of pros to answer questions, if you're looking for help in making your own. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 16:01:30 UTC) (permalink)

Allmusic has put up a page for the Halo 2 Soundtrack Volume 2 - no review yet, but there are easily downloadable track snippets. Thanks, Funkmon. (Louis Wu 14:27:27 UTC) (permalink)
White Fur and Soap in Hand
Wow. There's so much new content on the Halo-related blog Dead Man's Hand that I can't even list all the new articles, much less summarize them. The most recent item is an interview with Stuntmutt that's definitely worth a read - but there's plenty of other stuff; I liked the Legos to Halos rant, for example. Check it all out - and thanks to Dweezle86 for dropping by our forum to let us know it was there. (Louis Wu 14:18:29 UTC) (permalink)
Changing the world - without earnings
Interesting juxtaposition of articles; at the same time that Gamasutra posted an earnings report on Microsoft, in which it reported that Microsoft officials admit that even today, at the end of their lifecycle, "...the first generation Xbox consoles continue to have negative margins", IGN put up a piece discussing 'The Xbox Effect', which talked about how the Xbox was a success, primarily because of... well, Halo. I guess you don't have to make money to be successful... (Louis Wu 13:54:42 UTC) (permalink)
