There goes that 99% SLA
Whee doggies! I love leaving the country. This morning, I got an email from the company that hosts the files*.bungie.org servers. One of their data centers had an explosion that knocked out several walls and an electrical equipment room. All servers are fine... but those hosted in that building are not accessible until (at the earliest) later this afternoon. ('This afternoon' would be Sunday, central standard time - the center is in Dallas.) This affects a number of bungie.org sites - the most relevant to Halo visitors is HaloScreenshots. Apologies for the outage - but we should be back up and running in the next 12 hours sometime. (Louis Wu 11:53:32 UTC)

More DixieLAN Jazz
A few days ago, we mentioned a thread with writeups from pooberry's DixieLAN event - pooberry added his own yesterday, but since he started a new thread, I feel obliged to point it out again. Silly man... but a silly man with an overactive camera. LOTS of pics.

Mix Picks, Week 5
xMixMasterX stopped by with word of 'Week 5 of Mix Picks' up at The Social. These are Bungie.net-hosted film clips, culled by him from a much larger collection. (There are screenshots and descriptions to let you know what you're in for before you download.) Go see! (Louis Wu 17:28:34 UTC)

Community Spotlight: Ascendant Justice
Bungie has spotlighted the Ascendant Justice blog for its consistently high-quality writing; we've mentioned each piece they've published as it came out (because we agree with Bungie, the stuff they do is great), but if you missed any of it, this is a great reminder to go back and explore. (The point of this spotlight is to introduce the next community member to populate the 'Bungie Favorites' section of Bungie.net - go see what gametypes, maps, screenshots and films AJ thought was worth your time!) Thanks, Don. (Louis Wu 13:05:32 UTC)

HBO Leaderboards at HaloCharts.com
A couple of days ago, JeSteR 343 started up a group at HaloCharts.com, allowing HBO regulars to compare themselves to other HBO regulars. It took a little while for the bugs to be worked out of the grouping system, apparently - but things seem fine now, and there are a number of members already signed up. Go add yourself!

Looks like earlier this month, G4TV's X-Play started a feature in which MLG's TSquared provides tips about various multiplayer maps. So far they've posted Blackout (May 6), Ghost Town (May 13), and Foundry (May 20). We'll have to keep an eye on this! (Louis Wu 13:15:25 UTC)

Happy Easter, Marty.
So, yesterday's news of a brand-new egg in Halo 3 got me thinking... what if there are more? Well, there are. Lots of people know about the Seige of Madrigal egg at the top of the structure at the end of the Covenant level... but did you know that there's ANOTHER egg on the OTHER side of that same structure? (Same location, but on the right, instead of the left.) This one wasn't found before now, it seems, because there is a time factor in the trigger; if you stand in the right location, you can hear a number of computer-generated voice clips, but they don't start for two or three minutes after you arrive (and each additional one takes ANOTHER two or three minutes). I've made a short movie showing the location of the trigger (and the various clips you can hear) - grab it in WMP9 (14 mb) or QuickTime (11 mb) formats. Judging from the content of the clips, this one looks to be aimed at Marty O'Donnell... by the audio crew. Hi, Marty! (Louis Wu 17:26:52 UTC)

Halo Wars Update
This month's Halo Wars Update is now online at HaloWars.com - info about the Alpha (including LIVE play), a mention of an article in this month's GamePro mag, some tidbits about the Campaign, and a higher-res version of the screenshot that was mentioned in our news this week. Omega was first with the word. (Louis Wu 22:01:51 UTC)

When did YOU start cheating?
ab1 noticed an article on the Hitwise blog (aimed at internet marketing) discussing trends of game-related searches, specifically looking at release dates and cheat searches. Halo 3 is used as a prime example. Looks like a lot of folks actually play the game first, and don't start looking for cheats for at least a week... (Louis Wu 13:31:39 UTC)

Halo Wars - a new screen?
Psychophan7 noticed an article at Kotaku discussing a claim at GamerCenterOnline.net that they'd put up 3 new shots from Halo Wars. Two of the three shots are quite old (the Sparrowhawk shot was first released in March 2007, and the ridgeline with Banshees comes from the original Halo Wars cinematic trailer released in September 2006)... which makes me a bit suspicious about the third shot. I can't find a source for it... but it looks 'old' to me. If we get confirmation, either that this is a new shot or that this is old, we'll update this news post. Update: Thanks to Mr Sprout, over at Halo Wars Central, for pointing out that that third shot is, indeed, old. (Louis Wu 13:59:40 UTC)

The Riot 98
Sigafoos wrote to say that The Riot 98 is now online - 23 minutes, 9 mb, full (of course) of community talk, deal of the day websites, and (not so expected) 'foos drinking hot sauce on the video show. Which you couldn't watch live, because they forgot to press record at the start of the show. (And which you really have to hunt for, because there is no friggin' link to the video stuff on their front page, or in the show updates. n00bs.) (Louis Wu 15:06:10 UTC)

Republican Space Rangers
A million and one people are pointing out the TV show 'Republican Space Rangers', an egg of sorts in GTA4. (It's one of the shows available on the TV in your room.) gunluva started a thread about it a couple of days ago, and opinions range from 'it's obviously a total parody of Halo' to 'it has nothing at all to do with Halo'. (Personally, I'm leaning towards the "not so much" end of that spectrum. The marines wear armor that bears a superficial resemblance to Mjolnir armor, and there IS an obvious tip o' the hat to Halo with the ring-shaped environment shown at one point... but past that, nothing.) In any case, it's now been duly noted, so you can stop sending email, okay? (Louis Wu 11:25:55 UTC)

Halo Screen Shots - new code, and a new home
Sorahn's Halo Screen Shots is a great place to store your Bungie.net screenshots - all the thumbs show up on a single page, there's no rigamarole involved in viewing the large versions, and you can see many collections quickly. And now, Halo Screen Shots is part of the bungie.org family - we're hosting them. (This doesn't mean their old hosting was unreliable - it simply means that as long as we're around, they have a home.) If you haven't visited, now's a good time! We've added a random screen, along with some statistics on the collection, to our Spotlight box over on the right; keep an eye on the growth! (Louis Wu 18:11:15 UTC)

Their armor's too strong for blasters!
It's not the first AT-AT built with Forge - but it looks to be one of the most playable. Lucifer7 dropped off a bunch of screenshots of his latest project - a fully-playable Star Wars-style AT-AT, on Avalanche. Lots of cool little details - read the post! (Louis Wu 14:48:03 UTC)
