Enigmatic Observation.
The One One Se7en guest strips come to a close today - the final strip was created by BOLL. It requires a bit of knowledge of the Halo novels (specifically First Strike) to make sense... and, like all stuff BOLL does, is more than it seems at first. Enjoy. (Louis Wu 16:42:17 UTC) (permalink)
More Kind Words
I'm lovin' the thank-you notes we've been getting from the Soundtrack Contest winners; this hasn't really happened before, but it's cool. The latest comes from SnowVapor - take a look! (Louis Wu 16:39:05 UTC) (permalink)
Fiction Friday
Thirteen new stories are available in the Fan Fiction section today - I had to toss a few of the submissions. In today's day and age, there is absolutely no excuse for misspelling more than 25% of the words in a submitted story (I'm NOT exaggerating) - even if you don't have an app that can spellcheck for you, there are free online ones. If I can't read it, I won't post it. Hope that seems reasonable. (Louis Wu 16:27:59 UTC) (permalink)
Enjoy the future - today!
Heh - weirdness. Wikipedia not only has a featured story every day... they queue them up a couple of weeks in advance. Not only do they do that - but they MAKE PUBLIC what the upcoming featured stories are. Laird noticed that next Saturday's Featured Story (June 10) is going to be Red vs Blue. Read it now, before the rush! (Louis Wu 13:58:00 UTC) (permalink)
Advanced Warfighter
MaritalBlaze54 submitted 'Advanced Warfighter' to the MPRRS, and they loved it - enough that it made into the Top 10 passing scores. It's an adaptation of the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter release trailer (google it if you've never seen it), and uses the GRAW HUD really well - among other niceties. Great cinematography, great effects... this one's worth watching! Grab the WMP9 version (25.9 mb) or the QuickTime version (26.7 mb). (Louis Wu 13:11:46 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Graphic Novel Preview now out
Stephen Loftus pointed out that the Halo Graphic Novel comic, the 16-page preview meant to whet your appetite for the real thing (due out on July 12) was released a couple of days go (May 31), but nobody on the forum's been discussing it. (Stephen says that it's got plenty of spoiler material in it, so he's not willing to START a discussion. Just a heads-up, if you'd been meaning to swing by a comic shop...

Marty Talks Halo 3 at PLAY!
Very nice. Spartan Jag pointed out a tidbit in an interview over at Xbox Evolved - Marty O'Donnell discussed Bungie, Chicago, and Halo 3 with one of their staffers before the PLAY! concert a couple of days ago. (The tidbit is cool - apparently, there was a chance for some press folks to play a little multiplayer at E3; I hadn't heard anything about that before.) The interview, in its entirety, is actually pretty nice - give it a read! (Louis Wu 02:56:51 UTC) (permalink)
