Anatomy of a Work in Progress
Pinkuh was one of the artists that graciously agreed to create cool artwork for HBO visitors for our E3 Poster Contest - and since she send along progress reports, I thought it might be fun to show people how she works. Visit this page for a series of images (with commentary), showing her progress along the way! (Louis Wu 21:27:31 UTC) (permalink)

Bungie.net has word of a 64-player Halo PC Slayer tournament coming up next month - swing by and read the details! (Louis Wu 20:42:50 UTC) (permalink)
Major Nelson separates Xbox 360 titles
Major Nelson has changed the format of his Top Ten Xbox Live Games list - there are now two separate lists (one for Xbox360 titles, one for Xbox titles). Halo 2 is at the top of the Xbox list - but there's no word on overall numbers. (I'm guessing that's on purpose - at some point, it becomes an embarrassment that a year-and-a-half-old game is dominating EVERYTHING else.) Thanks to Gamasutra for the heads-up.

Remembrance
Stolen directly from her Red vs Blue journal - Elnea created a really nice image in honor of yesterday's holiday here in the US, and we've added it (and the poem she included with it) to her gallery page here. (Louis Wu 14:12:00 UTC) (permalink)
DropShock Ep 17
DropShock wrote to point out that DropShock Episode 17 has been released. It's described in the email as 'a stripped format version' - but it's still almost an hour long. Go listen. (Louis Wu 12:29:35 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Movie Timeline - The Real, and The Imagined
One of the downsides of running a relatively popular Halo fansite is that we hear all the rumors, many, many times... and I worry about giving those rumors extra credibility simply by acknowledging them. Sometimes, though, a rumor is so widespread that NOT acknowledging it seems pointless - a recent one, 'The Halo Movie has been pushed back to 2008' appears to be one of those. This first showed up on IMDb a few days ago - the release date had been changed from 2007 to 2008, without any explanation. It was mentioned several times on our forum (usually to responses of 'IMDb lets anyone edit their content - that's not trustworthy'), but yesterday, started showing up on bigger gaming sites (TeamXbox, Kotaku). None of this has been confirmed with anyone who actually knows anything - but common sense suggests it's probably true; as far as anyone in the public knows, not even a director has been chosen at this point, and the end of 2007 is just 19 months away. That's a pretty tight schedule for a film - if it has no cast or crew, or filming schedule. Hopefully, we'll get word of what's going on in the not-too-distant future... but in the absence of that official word, the internet will continue to oblige by filling the vacuum with rumors.
