Today’s guest One One Se7en is by Michael M, and if you don’t get it, I’d suggest you revisit our Miscellaneous section. (The dangers of long lead times on strips…)

Yesterday, Bungie.net posted an interview with Jay Ubroh, the president of the Associates of Gaming Professionals, an organization devoted to professional Halo Xbox gaming. How AGP started, why Halo, and what’s next were all on the table. Check it out!

Blade writes to say that the Team Ice site has been updated; there are a few movies mirrored there (including the entire Fire Team Charlie series), and their new forums are now online. Take a look!

Longtime bandwidth donator That Weasel wrote to tell us about a new project: That Weasel Television has teamed up with Team X and Ctrl + Alt + Delete Productions to create the Team X: The Beginning of the End collection of Halo videos. It’s being hosted by TWTv. Check it out!

Whoa. Out tonight, there’ll be updates in the morning… but I stopped in to the office to turn the lights off, and noticed a bit of news which should make LOTS of moviemakers happy; Microsoft has released a WMP9 version of Windows Media Player for MacOSX. (As far as I can tell, there is not…

Quick heads-up; seems Yahoo has managed to harbor a big enough mail spammer that it’s gotten its entire block of mailservers listed on SpamCop. Bungie.org’s mailserver uses the SpamCop blacklist… so anybody mailing from Yahoo will not be able to mail us until this is over. (For an ISP like Yahoo, it usually takes a…

A few quick points covered today on the Halo Story page… mnemesis continues to hammer away at the iceberg that is the mailbag. Go make his life harder by reading, then commenting.

As promised, the Great Halo Scavenger Hunt closed its doors this afternoon. Congratulations to all those who finished it, and indeed all those who took part!

Taken a little time… but the HBO-GameDaemons Halo PC dedicated server is back online, with its original mapcycle. (For the past 2 days, it’s been running a few stock maps while we tried to iron out some difficulties.) There’ll be more complete changes coming tomorrow, most likely (an addition of several new games, and a…

A quick reminder: The Great Halo Scavenger Hunt ends in roughly 3 hours (6 pm UTC, which is 1 pm EST or 10 am PST). The solution (and the names of the winners) will be posted later this afternoon – but after closing time, even if you complete the hunt, you won’t be able to…

The Apple Store is listing some system requirements for Mac Halo (you’ll have to search for the item; there’s no way I know of to link directly to it), and they’re relatively steep: 700 MHz G4, 256/512 MB RAM, Radeon 8500 or GeForce 2 MX with 32 MB VRAM. These aren’t final requirements, as far…
