Screenshots DB made current; 133 pics added
Whoa. Our Screenshots database has been updated with the screens released thus far in August - and the total number of Halo PC screens shot up from 70 on August 1... to 203 today. That's a lotta shots. (Louis Wu 21:34:04 UTC)

Action Trip looks at Halo PC
Action Trip has posted a preview of Halo PC; not a huge amount of new info (and actually the hardcore among you will probably give them a hard time for some of their facts), but the screens are quite nice. 1600x1200, no watermark; there are 10 with the preview, and an additional 17 if you're an Action Trip Plus subscriber. Check it out! (Louis Wu 18:07:45 UTC)

Gamers Depot talks to Gearbox Honcho
Another Pitchford interview - and more screenshots - can be found over at Gamers Depot. Randy's pretty upbeat about wowing PC gamers, even though the Xbox version's been out for a while. He's also confident that the work Westlake is doing will allow Macs and PCs to play together... thanks to ash, who found it at Blue's News. (Louis Wu 00:00:20 UTC)

New movie series starts at UNSC.net
Rgamer, a site we mentioned recently, has changed its name (and URL) to UNSC.net. They currently have an introduction to a new series from Ctrl Alt Delete Productions - it's called The Beginning of the End - Intro, and it's about 9 mb, in WMP9 format. If you want it, UNSC.net is the only place to get it. (Louis Wu 01:47:57 UTC)

Don't Try This At Home
Master Chief looks like he made a little mess in Blood Gulch... new screenie over at Gearbox's site. No modding needed - that's stuff you can get right from the configure multiplayer dialogues. Whoa. Thanks to spesalfred for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 21:08:38 UTC)

UO looks at the Fanstock event
Tycho, from Unreal Ops (an Unreal fansite), came along on the Halo PC Fanstock event last week. He's posted his own impressions of the game (as well as three new screenshots, snapped from a beta build we were given) over at the Unreal Ops site. A nicely non-Halo perspective... go read it!

My eyes are still burning.
Blackstar has put up a nice little photo gallery of yesterday's Summer Slaying lanfest here at HBO HQ. This screen says an awful lot about the skill of Geeoff; give him a pistol, you die. That simple. (I'm having trouble figuring out why SAAACK is 12th, though... I'm not 100% sure what they were playing there.) Comments can be found in this forum thread. (Louis Wu 03:26:59 UTC)

CPL breaks down $30K
Beginning to scrape the sleep out of my eyes - last night ended at 3:30, and started at... hmm, about 9 pm the night before. Decent lanfest, except for melting the wiring in my garage... There's quite a bit of stuff to get to, but it's going to take most of the day to get to it. First up: CPL has announced its prize distribution for the Halo PC tournament at the CPL Winter Event; first prize is $9,000. More numbers and lots of links can be found in CobaltNova's forum post. Good money, if you're skilled enough... (Louis Wu 15:09:12 UTC)

Slugs. They're all slugs.
So here I sit, surrounded by snoring lumps, trying to wake up the overnight guests for the Summer Slaying lanfest starting in about an hour... updates will be pretty sparse today. On the bright side, though, there'll be a LOT of Halo playing. (Louis Wu 12:17:38 UTC)

A Dogfight by any other map would fly as sweet
Gearbox has swapped out its dogfight-on-Death-Island screen that was posted this morning with a much wilder (and never seen before) shot of Banshees dogfighting on Gephyrophobia. WAY cool. (Hmm... wonder if the comment I made earlier had anything to do with this...?) Kudos to Fein for noticing. Update: Hehe - rule number one: never let your ego get too big. cartesian over at the Gearbox forums noted that the two Banshees in the first shot were on the same team... a far better reason to swap the pic out.

Microsoft focuses on Gephyrophobia
As mentioned by Sketch in the Halo PC Weekly Update, the Multiplayer section of Microsoft's Halo PC site has been updated with 5 new screens of Gephyrophobia. One thing I noted to a few people was my impression that the bases in Gephyrophobia have an Unreal Tournament feel to them... lots of pillars and ramps. Well, one of the new shots gives you a chance to see whether I'm out of my mind or not. (Louis Wu 00:05:30 UTC)

More screen mirrors
A couple more mirrors for the Fanstock screenies - Sector 7 has put them up, and so has Tec[H]noGeeK. They're spreading... this is a good thing, for bandwidth reasons. (Louis Wu 10:41:45 UTC)

I need a Red Baron Skin - stat.
Gearbox has put up a new screenshot on their Halo Project Page for your viewing pleasure... some banshee dogfighting goodness. (It's a bit like this shot, posted by Gamespot about a month ago... except bigger. And better framed.) Thanks to illuminati`FoOKz for the heads-up on our forum. (Louis Wu 09:48:26 UTC)

More homes for luscious screenies
Three new mirrors of the new screenshots we posted yesterday have popped up - Rampancy.net, BPHalo and TruthandReconciliation.com. Always nice to have the bandwidth hit spread around! Update: And another one... Cortana.org puts up their copies. (Louis Wu 02:07:26 UTC)

Screenshot Mania!
The participants of the Halo PC Fanstock event held last week at Gearbox have posted their thoughts, and possibly pictures taken during the day... but we all promised you new screenshots, and now, thanks to Gearbox, we can deliver. Check our Fanstock Screens page - there are 12 gameplay shots, 14 hi-res GORGEOUS shots of the new levels Gearbox has created, and 12 shots of the new Rocket Hog in action (including one side-by-side shot with the LAAG Hog). Whew! Update: They're up at Subnova now, as well. Other sites coming soon! Update 2: Blackstar, of Blackstar Productions, has also put these up. (No, he wasn't there. Yes, we're thrilled that they're being mirrored.) If you have trouble viewing them here, try there. (Louis Wu 21:45:19 UTC)

How fast can YOU run?
BIGwooly writes to point out that the project he started several months ago, Halo@LightningSpeed (first mentioned by us back in November), is fleshing out nicely. The 7th Column chapter devoted to the project (getting through Halo, level by level, in as little time as possible at Legendary difficulty) now has database entries for every map in solo - and many in Co-op, as well. If you're interested in contributing to this collection, stop by to read the guidelines, and get to playing! (Louis Wu 16:04:15 UTC)

When you're out, you're out...
Okay, so today it's a good bet that we're going to receive screenshots from Gearbox to go along with our Fanstock writeups. Unfortunately for me, I'm out all day today. I'm writing this note so that my mailbox doesn't fill up with dozens of 'D00d - wHERe @re THe 5Cr3En$hoT5?' messages. You can find them, likely, at any of the other sites that have writeups. And they'll be here, tonight. Just not right now. Thanks for understanding. (Louis Wu 11:41:46 UTC)

Gamespy's Fanstock coverage goes live
Another Halo PC article - this time from Gamespy (hey, these guys I remembered to mention!). Nice writeup - absolutely worth a read. Plus, there are 25 1024x768 screenshots - some the same as the CVG shots released yesterday - from the first 4 single-player levels (but all of Gamespy's come without a watermark). Go read!

Pitchford talks to CVG
Computer and Video Games has interviewed Randy Pitchford; the man's amazingly consistent. (I mean that in a good way - I HATE it when what I hear, off the record, from someone and what I read in a public interview don't match up.) There's some interesting stuff in there - Randy's left the door open for a bot patch, and he's pretty much closed the door on a PC port of Halo 2 (at least as far as he knows)... but mostly it's worth reading because he loves his work, and it shows when he talks about it. There are also 20 new screenshots - mostly Pillar of Autumn and Halo, solo play, but they're awful sharp... Thanks to Dan Chosich for posting a notice in our forum. (Louis Wu 21:35:08 UTC)

HBO's Fanstock Report goes up
Better late than never, right? HBO's official coverage of the Halo PC Fanstock event is now online. It'll be updated over the next several days with screenshots... and it's possible that the text will be tweaked, but it's up now. Hopefully, it'll provide you with a little info that didn't make it into other writeups. (Louis Wu 20:48:12 UTC)

Happy Landings.
In a record fourth straight day of One One Se7ens (the guest strips are coming fast and furious, so this record might get broken tomorrow), Stuntmutt finishes off the 3-parter started Wednesday. (I'd like to apologize; Stuntmutt submits several strips in series of three, which makes sense, since the strip is posted three times a week. Somewhere back in the early days, I screwed up... and instead of starting on Monday, they start on Wednesday, which wreaks havoc on the continuity. Apologies to everyone.) For those who don't get this one, hit the 'prev' link to see the setup. (Louis Wu 11:28:43 UTC)

Dark Helmet has added 13 photos to his Fanstock writeup. I'm starting to feel like a slug... (Louis Wu 01:29:17 UTC)

Halo PC Shishkafied
Another Fanstocker heard from: Shishka posts his (rather voluminous) thoughts over at Subnova. Lots o' pictures, lots o' facts... if I don't get something written soon, nobody's gonna read it, because it's all been said before! (Once again - screenshots of the game in action are coming later; we'll all have access to them. Everybody's gonna have updates.) (Louis Wu 00:04:29 UTC)

Random media, he says. Whoa.
More boatloads of screenshots and movies from BOLL, based on his hacking explorations... there are some amazing shots in here. Check 'em out! Narcogen has made thumbs of all of 'em, over at Rampancy.net, for your easier browsing pleasure. Update: Break Point mentions that he, too, has mirrored the shots (with thumbs).

Last Halo PC note of the night...
Dan Chosich noticed that Microsoft's official Halo PC site has 5 screenshots of Death Island, the Silent Cartographer-inspired level in Halo PC. I don't think I knew there'd be Scorpions on the level... (Louis Wu 08:21:15 UTC)
