The Valiant Master Chief
I never knew Cortana was edible… Calvin and Halo showed me the error of my ways.

Crow feathers stuck in my teeth
It has been pointed out to me that my gentle ribbing of Stuntmutt over yesterday’s One One Se7en strip was unfair – and so far off the mark as to warrant this apology. So here it is. It is clear, as evidenced by last night’s release of a Security Hotfix for Halo PC, that Stuntmutt’s…

Who needs a debug kit, anyway?
XLNC dropped off another set of beautiful hudless screenshots on our forum recently; he’s even trying his hand at reproducing existing Bungie shots (at much higher resolution, of course). Never ceases to amaze…

Halo PC Hot Fix
A security update has been released for Halo PC this evening; you can find details (and a download link for the updated version of the dedicated server) over at Bungie.net. At the moment, it’s not clear what this means for Mac clients… there’s no patch for Macs yet, so as soon as all the servers…

Weekly Bungie Updates Archive Up-to-date
Gah. I managed to forget to add this almost until the next one came out… but last week’s Frankie’s Weekly Bungie Update, posted at Battleground Halo, has now been added to the Updates Archive. Sorry about the delay!

Stick Halo
Dr. Nick pointed out another Stick Halo Flash animation; it’s more of a teaser, but still fun. (It would be a LOT smaller without the Halo soundtrack…)

One One Se7en v1.02
Even Stuntmutt’s main One One Se7en strips are subject to posting lag sometimes…

I Always Thought It Was Pretty Illogical Too
So what is a Light Bridge, anyway? Halo: Resolution looks at the question.

Dialogue Databank updated
Recently, Captain Spark sent in another large batch of dialogue snippets for our Dialogue Databank. We’ve put up the first 20 – there are still a number of Grunt and Jackal quotes to post. Before anyone gets on my case – yes, I realize that some of the quotes here are static; they show up…

Hellface on Halo Editing
progamerz has posted ‘Molkien’s Q&A on editing’ over at the Gearbox forums. This is a set of 20 questions about the Halo Editing Kit, answered by Gearbox programmer Hellface. Lots of good info! Thanks to rapture for pointing it out.

Teamwork, by Halo.Fropco
Halo.Fropco has put up an article about teamwork, and how important it can be. Much of it is common sense… but as my youngest is so fond of saying, common sense isn’t really all that common. Give it a read!

HiRes Halo 2 at GamersGallery
GamersGallery.com has put up 16 super-high-resolution versions of the early Halo 2 shots; swing by and pick up 3000-pixel-wide versions today. Glad to see those promo calendars are going to good use!

The Covenant will NOT get you out of homework.
Today’s Calvin and Halo gives you one more reason to be mad at Bungie. They just don’t make reality like they used to…

Guest Strip Line
Today’s Guest One One Se7en comes from GLADIATRRR3000, and looks at… the Guest Strip Line. Having been to DisneyWorld in the past couple of months, I totally sympathize. (The irony here is that this strip was submitted in… let’s see… 2002.)

RvB on TechTV
The Red vs Blue guys are going to be interviewed on Unscrewed (on TechTV) this evening (Tuesday), at 11:30 pm Eastern. If you don’t have the Red vs Blue DVD, you can see some outtakes linked to that story writeup. Thanks to Gutupio for the heads-up.

Hi, I’m Isbe ‘Uwudee… who are you?
A week or so ago, in a lighthearted forum thread, Wado SG pointed out a silly little app that would give you your very own Bond Girl name. Stuntmutt was entranced. Unfortunately, he’s an artist and a comedian, not a programmer. Hmm. Let’s try that again. Unfortunately, he’s not a programmer. There we go. Anyway,…

Not As Futuristic As You Thought
Good to know (thanks to today’s Halo: Resolution) that some institutions are still around, 500 years down the road…
