JB sends word that they have a new Halo fan site up and running at scabiesbaby.com. Go take a look.

Griffon, of Halo Command Central, sends word that the June edition of PC Gamer UK should have the 182 MB Gamestock video on its cover DVD… if you’re on a slow connection, this might be a reasonable option (it should be out by mid-may).
