Halo, Halo, Everywhere
A number of minor Halo mentions popped up in the news today (probably because it's E3 week); I didn't think any of them were worth news posts on their own, but there are enough of them to warrant a compilation. Dean Takahashi talks about Xbox 360 development at 1Up, with a few choice Halo 2 tidbits - thanks, Tempus Fugit. Wired looks at Boss Battles, and [a potentially spoiling character class, for the 2 of you who haven't played Halo] is used as an example - thanks, UberHax0r. And the New York Times discusses the difficulty of coming up with new content, using Halo as a great example of milking a valuable franchise - thanks, Annu MD. (As usual, bugmenot.com will get you into the Times website easily.) I'm probably missing one or two - apologies, it's a crazy day. (Louis Wu 22:03:20 UTC) (permalink)
Was It Something He Said?
Today's One One Se7en is much funnier if you've ever played online with MereCatfish. Or maybe it's not. (Louis Wu 18:09:59 UTC) (permalink)
More MySpace Contact Box Options
Ajay let us know about another MySpace contact box he'd created (we mentioned one a couple of weeks ago) - you can see it, and grab code for it, on his forum. (Louis Wu 18:08:27 UTC) (permalink)
Alonewinder
EchoZuluFilms has released Alonewinder, a HaloCE map designed primarily for the machinimas ALONE and Major Tom Diaries. It's a 13 mb download. (Sounds like it's sidewinder with new vehicles and weapons.) One of the new weapons is the Boomstick; it started life as a simple shotgun mod, but now is a totally separate weapon. Thanks, PsiMatrix.

Last T Update
Just a reminder: your last chance to buy an HBO T (and register for the poster art raffle and/or the DeanFest raffle) is midnight tonight, central time; that's a bit over 14 hours from now. It's 1 am on Tuesday EST, 10 pm PST, and 6am Tuesday UTC. After that time, the raffles will be closed (and the three spots for the DeanFest will be chosen), and the next time you see that shirt, it'll cost a bit more. Supplies on certain sizes are running low (Large and XXL are both nearing the end of their supply) - so order now! (Louis Wu 14:44:46 UTC) (permalink)
