Stabbing Man Says Farewell
Frankie's posted the last Bungie Weekly Update ever over at TeamXbox. He talks a lot about the new Stats page at Bungie.net (and what's coming down the road - trust me, he's not kidding about that face flying off stuff), and about reviews that are coming out, and about what's gonna happen next week... but mostly, he's just saying goodbye to a tradition. I'm very sad the Mister Chief art isn't showing up... but I'm guessing that'll get fixed soon enough. Go read. Thanks to KNIGHTOFDRAGONS, for being the first to actually point out where this was.

Gamespy interviews Nile Rogers
Speaking of Nile Rogers, Gamespy continues their week-long coverage with an interview of the man, discussing how he got involved in the soundtracks, and on to more general topics, like how music fits into games (and how it differs from other entertainment media). It's huge, and it's fascinating. Go read. Many people sent this in - looks like DirtyDozen was the first. (Louis Wu 15:43:48 UTC)

Interview with some web guy
HALO4U has updated his eponymous website - including an interview with... um, me. Except for getting my gender wrong on the front page (I suppose Louis looks a lot like Louise), it's a solid representation - go read. (Louis Wu 15:25:33 UTC)

A Good Read
The latest IGN Countdown 2 article tells you to go read a book while you wait. They even suggest one. Three, actually. Looks like Jason Ware beat Google this time around with the heads-up. (Louis Wu 11:07:14 UTC)

Pumpkin Voting
Whew! After a lot of messing around, we're finally ready to accept votes for the 343 Guilt O' Lantern contest! Now, keep in mind, there are 85 separate entries - and you're only allowed to vote once. Therefore, you should put it off until you have a few minutes to peruse the choices - it would be no fun if you only got through half of them! (Voting is open for a full week - through next Tuesday - so don't feel you have to rush to get it done.) The entry page should give you an idea of the best way to navigate through the entries - PLEASE READ IT. (I know a lot of people just want to get started, but if we start getting mail like 'OMG I messed up can you let me try again?' we're gonna be ignoring it.) Limits - you can only vote once per IP address. This stinks for families sharing a single address - but them's the breaks. So: Go read the instructions, then browse through the pumpkins and pick your favorite 5. (That's how many votes you get.) We'll be tallying points to find the top 3 - with a runoff vote if necessary down the road. And thanks to BOLL for his invaluable help in the last 12 hours! (Louis Wu 16:51:19 UTC)

Gamespy talks vehicles and weapons
Two new Halo articles at Gamespy today - the first is an interview with Lead Designer Jaim Griesemer about Halo 2's vehicles (lots of tasty info, though he dodges the 'spoiler-like' questions), and the second is a talk with Tyson Green (aka Ferrex) about Halo 2's weapons (again, plenty of useful info about stuff you've heard of, with a studied lack of spoilers). Go read 'em both! focused7 beat everyone, including Gamespy's editor, in letting us know about these. (Louis Wu 11:01:06 UTC)

Gamespy Interviews Frank O'Connor
Gamespy has kicked off its weeklong Halo 2 coverage with a great interview of Bungie.net's Frankie. Some clear discussion on why items got pulled, stuff about XBox Live, and more. Go read! (And stop back every day this week for more good stuff - that first link lists what's coming each day.) Thanks, John Keefer - and dozens of others. (Louis Wu 15:15:54 UTC)

Bungie Weekly Update - at RvB
Today's Weekly Bungie Update is over at Red vs Blue, in honor of the RvB team visiting Bungie this weekend. Unfortunately, that means that a significant chunk of Halo fans can't actually see it - because viewing posts on the forum requires that you be registered on their site... and being registered requires an email address that is NOT Hotmail or msn or other large, free provider. Because of this, we're doing something we've not really done before - we're mirroring the update so folks can see it. I think both Bungie and RvB would understand. Go read it - at RvB if you can, here if you can't - because it's a fun read. The team (those that are back from vacation, that is) seems far more relaxed now that the game's in the can. The community team is busy... but then, they're always busy. What else is new? And oh, yeah... Happy Birthday, Shishka! (I think he's 13 now.) Update: It's now on RvB's front page, and so viewable by all (thanks, Ross). All you miss is the Mister Chief art. (Louis Wu 01:59:29 UTC)

Bungie Fanfest in Seattle
Wonga. SketchFactor posted a note today about a Bungie-sponsored fanfest in the Seattle area on November 8 - go read the details! Looks like it'll be fun - more details coming! (Louis Wu 00:51:32 UTC)

Ineluctable who?
There's a small update over at the Halo Story page - tie-ins between Halo and Ulysses? You bet. Go read! (The machine's acting flakey these days, so please - if you have trouble connecting, just try again later. You don't need to tell us there's a problem - handling the extra flood of email just means it takes us LONGER to fix the problem. Thanks.) (Louis Wu 02:20:16 UTC)

Plantronics Headset review at HU
Halo Universe (sporting a spiffy new design and a faster server) has an article up about the Plantronics Halo 2 headset. It's in German, though. If it's in your power, go read! Thanks, Marc. (Louis Wu 13:07:10 UTC)

Home Front almost ready to go
This came in yesterday, but I managed to overlook it. The Home Front team has posted another update on the Junkyard forums - screenshots of a redone map, and a fixed release date (next Friday, actually). Go read. Thanks, Mhaddy. (Louis Wu 13:17:41 UTC)

Sonny Chiba would SO pwn him...
Wonga. Amazing as it sounds, Frankie is STILL continuing with the Bungie Weekly Updates - this one is at Subnova. New TV spots coming next week, a sick SketchFactor, and a guest Mister Chief rendering by BOLL. Go read! (And Sketch - here's hoping you get better!) Thanks to Eric Biro, who let us know while I was watching Big Fish with my family. Update: oops - Boxer points out that I misread the bit about Sketch - it's his DOG that's sick. (I guess i thought Frankie was insulting him while he was down. :) ) Sketch - here's hoping your dog gets better! (Louis Wu 02:20:55 UTC)

Rockin' Cellos and Fake Monks
Marty O'Donnell is probably the most interviewed employee of Bungie Studios - whether it's because he loves to talk, or because his expertise outstrips the rest of the team, I couldn't say. Most of the time, though, the questions fall into a relatively narrow range... everyone asks the same sorts of things. Nico Audy-Rowland, the man behind the music at Rooster Teeth (Red vs Blue and The Strangerhood), decided to strike off into untrodden terrritory... and Marty followed, gracefully. We've got a 30-question interview that ranges from nitty-gritty technical stuff to the philosophy of composing, and lots of subjects in between! Go read it, and gain a bit more insight into this almost-enigmatic musician! (Louis Wu 21:11:01 UTC)

Silly old duffer, eh?
rockslider has added a Halo dictionary to his site - it's called 'Halo in a nutshell', and it's pretty dang funny. Go read some. (Louis Wu 21:27:56 UTC)

Next up - a Plantronics view inside the ear
Daily Game has posted Duke's Diary - the story of a controller's visit to San Francisco to play Halo 2. Yeah, you read that right. Now go read it. (Louis Wu 02:13:13 UTC)

Lockout
IGN's Halo 2 Countdown article for yesterday is called 'Lockout', and gives a couple of decent Multiplayer ideas for use on the map Lockout. Go read! (Louis Wu 14:12:24 UTC)

Broken, glass filled, acid-ruined ruminations
While I took the night off, the Halo world went on - and Frankie posted another Bungie Weekly Update, this time over at Rampancy.net. He rants a bit about piracy, and then describes a weeklong Press event in San Francisco he just got back from, where journalists were allowed to play the game from start to finish, in order to write their reviews in time for the November deadlines. There's some nice imagery in his description of Legendary difficulty... Go read it, and feel sorry for the crying Mister Chief. We got lots of notes - earliest one was from 343.

That's sort of how I feel, too...
Gah. The other thing I missed yesterday was Blackstar's latest Calvin and Halo. Which is kind of a bummer, since it really was appropriate for yesterday. Go read. (Louis Wu 01:37:31 UTC)

Halo 2: Flashback
I missed yesterday's countdown article at IGN - but it's almost worth missing, because it perpetuates a myth that simply isn't worth perpetuating. It's a story from IGN editor Hilary Goldstein about a conversation he had with Pete Parsons a year and a half ago. Pete told him that Halo was not coming out in 2003; he discusses how that made him feel. The thing to remember, however, is that at that point, nobody had announced ANY date for Halo 2's release - this was a courtesy heads-up to a journalist, not 'being told that Halo 2's being delayed'. Go read, but remember, November 9 is the first date EVER OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED AS A RELEASE DATE FOR HALO 2. Thanks to the myriad of folks who pointed this out... I think El337 was first.

Reality in Halo, Part VII
Mhaddy, over at the Junkyard, points out the latest in the series of analyses of Halo from a US Military perspective - this time up, it's The Library. This one's a bit more personal, since it's just the Chief... I suppose that's true of the next few, as well. Go read! (Louis Wu 11:14:19 UTC)

I looked for a unifying theme... none, sorry
Gah - two OTHER comic-related offerings today from around the web; Dork Tower mentions Halo (thanks, Brad) and there's a new episode of Marines at Sector 7 (thanks, Wolfy). Go read! (Louis Wu 12:48:13 UTC)

Halo 2 leads a killer lineup
According to the Seattle Times, Halo 2 has presold more than 1 million copies at this stage, making it the highest presale in the history of video games. (I've heard higher numbers - but they probably did more homework than I did.) It's the leader in a blockbuster season for Xbox, according to Andrew Jenkins, Xbox product manager.

There is $50,000 in prize money on the line, with the vast majority of that going for Halo.

Go read the details, and get in on the action! (Louis Wu 10:14:38 UTC)
