He’s big in Germany.
Dan Chosich is the latest target of the Junkyard’s Spotlight series; go by and read about this up-and-coming moviemaker. You know, now that I think about it, he DOES look a little like David Hasselhoff… hmm, no, he doesn’t.

More post-fanfest pics
Andrew, from XboxOttawa, has put up some pics he took at Dean Miranda’s Plasma Fiesta lanfest after E3 – he managed to miss all the food, but he got the people. Yes, Silverbrin likes playing Halo standing up. Don’t ask me why.

Nightmare Armor on TechTV
Rockhard noticed an interesting clip on TechTV; a pillow fight with some models and a host goes awry when the Master Chief gets involved. Webshift, from the Nightmare Armor crew, confirmed that it was, indeed, one of theirs, and mentioned an upcoming interview. If you have access to TechTV (my cable company doesn’t carry it…

It’s A Dilly.
In reply to this week’s Bungie Weekly Update, Stuntmutt has turned in a new One One Se7en – the first in about a month. Woohoo! Or… oh, darn. (Depending, of course, on your opinion of One One Se7en strips.)

Halo 2 Logos, packaged for use
A couple of days ago, Owl created a pretty huge standalone Halo 2 logo. Yesterday, Fury Three posted a standalone rendered version… and BOLL posted his own stuff (extracted from the official site’s content). Between these, you should be able to find a version you can use for your web creations…

Gamespot saw better than Halo at E3
Gamespot has posted its Best of E3 2004 awards. Halo picked up a ‘Top 10 Trailers of E3’ award for the press conference demo, and was a finalist in the Best Shooter and Best Xbox categories (beaten by MechAssault 2 both times), but was otherwise passed over. Interesting counterpoint with other gaming sites. Thanks, Jay.

Words, words, and more words redux
Lots and lots and lots of you noticed the Fan Fiction section was broken yesterday; I accidentally allowed a story with illegal characters in the series name through the screening process. Sorry about that! Fixed now, though. That’ll teach me to put up a last-minute post before leaving for the day (without checking the link…
