But he knew. He knew.

Bob cleans up a big mess
He came upon the first body while still in the trees. It lay there with a huge hole in its torso like it had been shot with some sort of explosive weapon. Blue blood had soaked into the ground beneath it, washing into its face as it lay on a slight decline.
Tursas sends us Chapter 9 of the Hermes Trismegistus story, wherein Bob contemplates death from a few angles. Check it out in our Fan Fiction section. (Louis Wu 06:03:00 UTC)

You might wanna swap weapons... NOW
A week and a half ago, Young Gwasshoppah posted scans of a Halo spread in this month's PC Gamer (they were later made more accessible by Andrew Roberts). They induced a flurry of discussion on our forum... and then they faded away. They popped up again in Rampancy.net's forum yesterday... and this evening, Ferrex (Dead), part of the dev team, chimed in with some pithy observations about one particular shot. Nice to get Bungie confirmation that this guy is known as a Hunter, which strengthens the Marathon/Halo link (Hunters in Marathon are immune to flame as well)... and Ferrex's assessment of the player's chances made me laugh. Check it out. (Louis Wu 02:26:06 UTC)

Open Source comes online
It's not clear to me whether this is a sign of the times in the gaming industry, or just an improbable alignment of the stars... but there have been an awful lot of instances recently of people wanting to help gaming companies realize what gamers want to see. The Online Universe is a site devoted to this topic - we've mentioned it a few times recently. There have been several threads on our forum (and others) devoted to features folks would like to see - here's a big one. Well, now there's a new player on the scene - Open Source. This is a site aimed at giving fans a voice - you can submit ideas for new games, ideas for how features in existing (or upcoming) games should work, concepts for new features, and so on... as well as the standard fan-created submissions - artwork, stories, and the like. Check it out - it's pretty hard to explain in a paragraph; you need to explore the site to see what's available and what can be done. Without fan input, the site is nothing - with fan input, the sky's the limit. (Louis Wu 01:34:37 UTC)

Spam - it's not just for breakfast any more
// About twenty years before you were born, the powers that were decided to send probes into space in the hopes that they would be picked up by an intelligent alien race. These probes had the pictures of naked members of your species scrawled in gold on the side. They hoped that the other race would then travel to Earth and share the wonders of interstellar travel with humanity. //
"Did anybody find the probes?"
// Did your mom bake bread? //

ieMag looks at platform convergence
Ph.D., our field agent in Japan it seems, sends in a link to an article at ie Magazine called 'Has Gaming Finally Crossed the Line?' It discusses how the world of console gamers is merging with the world of PC gamers, and mentions Halo specifically, in a quote from Steve Bauman, EiC of Computer Games Magazine:
"...The Microsoft Xbox is trying something new by introducing Halo, an Xbox exclusive shooter that was originally software designed for the PC."
Well, except for the 'Xbox exclusive' bit there, it's a reasonable read - check it out. (Louis Wu 03:47:26 UTC)

Fan Fiction section updated
Blossoming open into a surreal starburst of fire and smoke, the blast sent the Wraith wheeling off towards the sea, and its concussion bowled over the Elite and most of the Grunts alongside the tank. Jackals flew into the air, screaming and spinning, discharging their plasma rifles in random directions, before they were lost in the billowing cloud of dust and sand thrown up by the explosion. "SPNKR, get back up!"
Ape Man's latest fan fiction, 'The Mantled Wings of Angels', puts a good chunk of the Halo dev team (and even part of the Phoenix team) into a battle for their lives... check it out in our Fan Fiction section. (Louis Wu 14:50:29 UTC)
