There oughtta be a law...
Bungie's Number One Fan Miguel 'Freewill' Chavez competed in the first round of the Halo National Tournament... and has written up his experiences, complete with pics. Check it out at Bungie Sightings! Correction: Miguel competed in a warm-up event, not the actual tournament. Silly me - the tournament doesn't even start until next week! (Louis Wu 04:37:26 UTC)

Pictures say stuff
Art for the day: bikeman704 has cobbled together a 'screenshot' of a wished-for Half-Life mod... minor spoilers here. You'll find this in our Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 14:27:29 UTC)

Not porn, we promise
Artistic submissions today:
- CrAzYjOhN911 submitted a VERY large scan of a Halo sketch
- BOLL submitted a modified screenshot using Swedish candy, inspired by this forum thread
You can find both in our Miscellaneous Art section. (Louis Wu 13:59:39 UTC)

Emily Litella would be proud...
Joseph "Zef" Howells sent in a modified screenie for our Miscellaneous Art section... I like that logo. (Louis Wu 02:06:20 UTC)

Chaos II is Coming..
Wonga. Remember Chaos on the Ring? (Back when Warthog Jumping was relatively new, this flick pushed the limits.) Well, these guys are putting the finishing touches on Chaos II... and their website says it'll be ready by Saturday! The hitch? It's gonna be HUGE. (Like 400 megs huge, if I read their blurb right.) I'd be happy to talk to them about making it smaller... but in the meantime, we're gonna start collecting offers for mirrors. :) (Brian Towne says Mythica.org should be back up by tomorrow... we hope he's right. :) ) Every byte is gonna count!

Lots to read - last for a bit
The Fan Fiction just doesn't stop - here's the stuff that's been building while we've been out of town at Macworld:
- Halo 2: Jupiter, chapter 1, by Chi Zhang
- Ascendant, part 7, by Archangel's Blade
- The Mis-adventures of master chief, part 1, by el_halo_diablo
- The saviours of man, part 1, by Shadow_hunter117
- Rise To Honor, part 10, by Shadow
- The Return of the Archons, by Wado
- The Brethren of Saturn, Epilogue, by Lynnada
- Rogue Enemies, part 3 and The Lost Spartan, part 8, by Spartan415
- The New Reach Campaigns, by Gasmask
There were some mixups this time around - mostly owing to my very erratic schedule this past week. Halo 2: Jupiter has already had chapter 2 posted - because I missed chapter 1. You might want to read the whole thing as a series, for continuity. Also, Ascendant, part 7, actually came in over a week ago - it got lost in the inbox. Enjoy this batch - I'm out of town for a few days, starting tomorrow, and it's unclear if stuff coming in before Wednesday will be posted by one of the others. Please be patient!

Halo National Tourney
A Halo National Championship? Microsoft, EB, and iGames (a game center company) have teamed up to offer you a nationwide competition with prizes like a 50 inch flat screen TV, amazing audio systems, and lots of Xbox-related hardware. You can read Bungie's description at Bungie.net, or visit Xbox.com for links and a movie with some fun content. (To see if there's an iGames near you, check this participating centers list.) Thanks to Grail, of CWB, who sent us a notice of this before Bungie had even put up its page! (Louis Wu 10:53:16 UTC)

Attack of the 50-foot Elite
Whoa. Do you live anywhere near San Jose, California? Would you be willing to pay $30 for the chance to play Halo on a screen that is 40 feet by 60 feet (12x18 meters)? Swing by this page, then, and register forMax Games, at the Tech Museum of Innovation - on August 15, they'll be holding a competition, in which the final round for various games will be held on the IMAX Dome theater screen. Wowza. (First heads-up for this puppy goes to Ryan Foote.) (Louis Wu 08:11:14 UTC)

Bungie.net scheduled downtime
Bungie.net has put up a notice that all Bungie web services will be down for several hours tomorrow, starting at 10:30 AM PDT. (Obviously, you won't be able to read it THERE after that point, so we're mentioning it here.) This means a couple of hours of webcam downtime... (Louis Wu 01:18:46 UTC)

New Captions shots posted
Overshadowed just a little bit by the official MS PR announcement about PC Halo was an update to the Screenshot Captions section of Bungie's Tru7h and Reconciliation site. There are 4 new photos... and some of 'em just make you want to break in to Bungie Headquarters and steal that dev kit. First heads-up props to MasterOmok, who sent us email about it.

Freedom to Kill webcam
'Freedom to Kill' Quick Update: We've set up a webcam showing the gameplay on one of the screens here - a beautiful projector image provided by Freewill. There's no guarantee that what you see will be interesting... but you'll see what we see, refreshed every 30 seconds. ;) (We may actually move the camera around a bit... or we may forget it's there, and simply play. :) ) At the moment, a couple of guys are cooping through T&R on Legendary... but who knows how long that's gonna last? Enjoy! (Louis Wu 15:52:51 UTC)

Movies, and an explanation
News is backing up a little - the HBO Junkies have been having a weekend-long lanfest (started Friday evening, we're just getting going again today after knocking off at 3 am last night), so news has been sparse... but there are a couple of movies for you anyway today. First up is yet another addition to Warbow's Bottom of the Maw Jump Trick - Halo Wannabe has submitted a movie showing a much more reproducible route to the bottom. (This film is 2.7 mb.) For a wider audience, Skavenger_s7 (and Renegade Theatre) have melded Robert Redford and Halo in a beautiful way - check out The Castle, a 4.7 mb, 60-second short. Enjoy the vids, enjoy the day! We'll be back soon. (Time to start shooting again...) (To all content submitters - we'll get to your stuff as soon as we can. Please don't send new copies, thinking we didn't get it. Thanks!)

Piles and piles of Halo updates at B.net
Juicy Bungie goodness - on the one hand, we've got the next chapter of Bungie's Halo Legendary Walkthrough, created by CandyMan - Assault on the Control Room never looked so gorgeous. (mnemesis, who pointed out all the nice links, especially wanted you to notice Sarge, the incredible one-handed sniper.) On the other hand, we have "Halo: A 'Her'spective", an article written by Tinuviel, of WolfePack (a team that made it to the finals of the Seventh Column Halo Competition a month ago), giving a female perspective on this game. And finally, on the other other hand, Matt wanted to point out that Halo soundtracks are finally in local stores. Get over to Tru7h and Reconciliation and get readin'! (Louis Wu 00:31:46 UTC)

Stories and links
For the Fan Fiction readers, we have two new stories:
- The Long Ride Home, part 10, by Joshua Barreto
- A Comedy of Peace, part 3, by Jason P.
For the Fan Fiction authors, I'd like to take an opportunity to point out a couple of sites you guys should know about:
- Zenith - a site devoted to helping Fan Fiction writers be better at their craft. Check it out.
- The Halo Fan Fiction Project - A collection of writers attempting to recreate Halo as a novel. The project officially starts tomorrow!
And now back to your regularly schedules Sunday activities... (Louis Wu 15:36:35 UTC)

Halo Installation 004 comes online
A new site for ya - Halo Installation 004. Lots of game info, gameplay tips, speculation. Not your average 'put up a bunch of screenshots and call it a site' site. (Now if only they didn't refer to us as 'official' in the links section... :) ) (Louis Wu 15:10:55 UTC)

When Bungie stacks levels funny
Caught again... miles did some fancy footwork in order to leave a nav-pointed grunt alive at the start of Truth and Reconciliation... and hence was able to measure the distance from the arrival bay inside the Truth and Reconciliation (where you end up after going through the gravity lift) and the starting point of the level... and the interesting thing is that the ship is BELOW the start point, not above it! Bizarre... (Louis Wu 17:51:55 UTC)

Forces behind the scenes?
What's this? There are story-related tidbits we don't know yet? Mnemesis titillates with a snippet from the recent OXM UK article... could this be the start of serious speculation? Head on over to the Halo Story page and find out! (Louis Wu 20:07:02 UTC)

Halo ideas?
Ross Mills has started up a site called 'Halo Ideas' - and as he says on our forum, he's looking for content to fill it. If you have any speculations about either Halo 2 or Halo Online (neither of which have actually been announced, of course, and nothing says they won't end up being the same game), drop him a line! (Louis Wu 17:24:09 UTC)
