First Strike info
Thanks to Wheeler, who pointed out that the Halo: First Strike page at Random House has been updated - there's a quick summary of the plot (including some pretty massive spoilers, if you haven't finished Halo yet, and even if you have). Check it out - unless you'd rather wait until December. (Louis Wu 18:37:59 UTC)

WCG Tourney taken by TDT member
Gah. I gotta get a better junk filter. The MLG press releases get filtered right into my Junk folder, when they'd be far better off on HBO's front page... Major League Gaming announced on Friday that Matt "Zyos" Leto, a member of The Dream Team (a group MLG sponsors), walked away with top Halo honors at the World Cyber Games tourney in Seoul, Korea last week. (He pocketed $20,000.) Streaming video of the event is available on this page... you're looking for 'Leto vs Hebbada'. (The blow-by-blow is rather bizarre.) Go check it out! (Louis Wu 19:30:37 UTC)

There's more than one way to skin an MC.

(Links to all relevant information about the creation of these skins is contained on that page.) Update: Dogsounds has added one more - a Bungie skin. Check it out. (Louis Wu 10:41:39 UTC)
