Japanese promo flyer scanned
Thanks to 3Suns, who scanned in a flyer distributed in Japan, advertising an upcoming Halo Championship and some schwag given away with the first copies of Halo. We’ve added it to our Press Scans section.

Halo font – created at last!
Now this is just plain cool. Will Turnbow went looking for a Halo font, as many others before him have done – but when he didn’t find one, he created it. Currently, it’s just the letters, but he’s said that if there’s demand, and people approve of the work so far, he’d be willing to…

MagGamer is skeptical
Heh – funny poll at MacGamer.com: “Which signs of the Apocalypse would happen before Halo comes to Macintosh?” I sorta like the last option… seems that nearly 60% of the other voters do, too. (Weird polling stuff going on.)

Movie section improves a bit
The Halo Movies section is still not as navigable as I’d like… but it’s a little better. You can now sort searches by Name, or date, or (maximum) filesize – and that includes restricted searches. (That is, if you’re looking for music videos, you can resort the results in more productive ways.) Hope this helps!…

A new Easter Egg!
Today, almost 7 months after the release of Halo, we received mail from SquirrelJam, asking about the numbers on the front of the Scorpion tank. (He had his suspicions. They were right.) We’ve added a new entry to the Halo Easter Egg page… and for good measure, have finally written up an old egg that…

We missed this earlier today, but Bungie has made a new theme available to Seventh Column chapters – Hunters. If you want to see what it looks like, visit The HBO Junkies! Thanks to Stosh, for creating it.

Spidey vs MC?
Heh – Gamespy has put up a new Grudge Match on their front page; Spider-Man vs. Master Chief – who wins? Currently, Spidey’s whuppin’ the TAR out of MC… go see if you can change that. (Thanks to Darth Paul for the heads-up.)

Junkyard outage is only temporary
Dang – this came last night, missed it. 🙁 Ryan ‘Mhaddy’ Matthews, of The Junkyard, wrote to let us know that the Junkyard has been experiencing some downtime (since the weekend, actually – they’re not dead, just offline for a bit. They’ll be back up and running soon.

Forerunner symbols, revisited
Åstro the Space Duck has created the first Halo Story Page ‘maintainer column’. Hopefully, over time, the collection of these will grow. For now, you can read his treatise on Forerunner Symbols. (Yes, the subject has been looked at before – but never coupled with an attempt to interpret them.) He’s done a fantastic job…

Homes for Cellulose
Lots of mirrors… too many to list. New homes for most of the movies released recently (including the elusive QT5 version of 2070). You can find links to all mirror lists on our Movies page. Thanks to all the bandwidth volunteers! We couldn’t do it without you!
