Halo PC details… from the source
Thanks to dolbex for sharing… he asked some interesting questions about vehicle respawning in PC Halo over at the Gearbox Forums, and got some solid answers from a couple of members of the Gearbox crew. Summary: vehicles will NOT be destroyable in multiplayer; it would be too frustrating to kill someone in a banshee and…

Some art, at least…
Three art pieces built up over the past few days have been added to the Miscellaneous Art section. There were one or two others, but I’ve got no idea who sent them.

Eagan ‘GS’ McLees… you’ve got a long road ahead.
Lorraine McLees has written the latest Bungie Soapbox article… I think she needs to take a break. A long break. Maybe even… seven weeks long.

Stupid Human Tricks
In what has to have been the most collosal act of stupidity I’ve perpetrated in months, I managed to delete not only my current copy of my mail directory… but the most recent backup, as well. Last backup before this one: March 16. That means if you mailed something to halo@bungie.org with an attachment, or…

I see the lawsuit now…
You know you’ve made it when they start copying you. Red vs Blue has gotten quite a bit of positive press recently, and rightly so – they’re doing wonderful things with the art of Halo engine moviemaking. And now… they’ve spawned a tribute group; Salmon vs Teal. We should make it clear that these guys…

A plethora of pictures

The Wegg?
Some of Stuntmutt’s One One Se7en episodes are turned in early, but involve topical (at the time of creation) subjects; I worried a bit that the joke would be lost by the time the strip was aired. Today’s strip is a perfect example… it involves the Megg easter egg, which was found over a month…

E3 highlight flick now available smaller
Back on May 13, we mentioned a non-shakeycam movie being distributed by Gamespot; it was 9.7 mb, in .MOV format. (It’s basically a highlight reel, but it’s direct feed.) It was (is) a free download, but you have to register with Gamespot to get it. Well, that same movie, in a smaller form (320×240, 3.4…

The Junkyard goes Halo 2
Ryan ‘Mhaddy’ Matthews of the Junkyard writes to let us know that their Halo 2 section is now online. Content is sparse (because info about the game is sparse), but it will be filled out as the situation warrants. Check it out!

Communication is important.
I HATE using the front page this way – and I won’t, any more. To whoever uploaded a 125 mb archive to our ftp area this evening (upload finished a bit before 7 pm EDT), without an email address, we’ll simply toss this. (It doesn’t have to be made public – but we need it…
