    On the subject of submissions – I’m heading out of town for a few days, which is why Ding and Wirehead have come out from under their rocks. (Where’s Crux, anyway?)

    Holy bratwurst, Batman! Poland joins the ranks of countries that host a Halo fansite… http://www.centrumhalo.prv.pl/. As far as content goes… I have no idea at all what it says, but they did a great job with how it looks! Weapons and Vehicle pages have very nicely cleaned-up thumbnails, for example.) Check ’em out… and even…

    Not all of us at HBO think that votingfor Louis in the bungie.netpoll is a good idea. I mean Louis hasn’t paid us any wages yetand we’re up to here with his stock options BS. So my vote goes to Hamish.

    The Bitner update, December 7: There’s been quite a bit of information flying around about Nathan Bitner, and his new company, Island Four Software. Rather than add these items as we found them (which would turn HBO into I4.org – unnecessary, since it already exists), we’ve decided to give you a roundup.Island4.org has been registered…

    Hey, cool, lead times are dropping. Haloplayers reports that the latest copy of PCGamer UK contains a snippet about Halo… they’re quoting the November 11Halo update, in fact. Not too shabby… less than a month after it hit the web – lead times used to be 2-3 months. There’s also a tidbit about Planetside:It’s already…

    For a long time now the HBO crew have been systematically searching the Bungie trash cans forclues to the identity of the Bungie Webmaster. Since the move to Redmond howeverwe’ve had to wait in line to get at them. But today we edge that bit closer to the tru7h! Hamish *insert Souless death cry here*…
