Kudos to Pericles, who spotted a job opening for a QA Intern at Bungie’s Chicago offices. Job description includes helping the QA manager and development team test computer games through play-testing and functionality and compatibility tests. Sounds like the perfect opportunity for a Halo fanatic! (We’d apply, but then who’d bring you the news?)

Thanks go to r e c o i l, who sent us a new banner for our Banner page. Nice!

Man, this e3 stuff makes us nuts. Somehow, this never made it to our Screenshots page… but GameStar put up an e3 writeup last week that included an not-seen-before-on-the web shot. Very nice pic of the covenant plasma cannon in action. (This WAS published in their print magazine,but hasn’t appeared on the web before, except…

Incite Comes Through! For all you folks who missed the January 2000 issue of Incite PC Gaming, someone loves you. Incite has made the 46 megabyte movie previously only available on the CD of that issue accessible from their website. Go get it! (Thanks to Bryn Williams for the wonderful news.)

Great new Fan Fiction up, for you Marathon fans… check it out!

Sebastian Brytting writes to let everyone know that {SoSi} now has an irc channel of their own; you can find them on #sosi at QuakeNet. Thanks, Sebastian!

Flashback sends in a sketch of an artillery tank for our Miscellaneous Art pages (Original, page 10). Thanks, FB!

Fan Fiction page updated with a story snagged off our forum… thanks, MacGuyver!

Faust sends word that the Halo clan page for Black Death Union is online. Still needs a bit of filling out… but go on by and check it out!

The Halo SETI Marines climb another notch to 106. Next up, a group that… oh, wait, wrong update. Anyway, here’s the 24 hour stats.

Interesting thread on multiplayer motivations and some options to make gameplay better can be found on our forum. Check in and contribute!

Posted yesterday, but forgot to mention… the Fan Fiction section has been updated again. Thanks, DJ!

Snagged off b.org’s hotline server, <hl.bungie.org>, this image was originally part of an Inside Mac Games feature called gMac. (The feature is about building the ultimate mac gaming platform… appropriate picture!)

The Halo SETI Marines fly up to 109th place in the Club Team listings.. you guys are amazing! Read about the 24 hour stats.

Shamelessly snagged from the Core… World Online has a new Halo preview. This one is entertaining reading-the author took, um… a few liberties. Examples: [on the locale] Imagine the planet Saturn with its rings of debris floating around it. Pretty spectacular sight eh? Well, imagine encountering another Saturn, but this time the ring is made…

Woo-hoo! In response to an undisclosed offer that may or may not have involved beer, Steevil has returned to the Halo SETI Marines. We’re back on track for a March break-in to the top 100 club teams!

A new German news site has come online. Check out the Fightin’ Guardians… they’ll keep you informed! (If you want to skip the flash intro, you can jump right to the Halo site.)

Halo SETI Marine goes AWOL! The loss of a 445-unit member hits the team hard… We need to make up for it! (Welcome to Frog in a Box, who brings in 45 units… definitely softens the blow!) Details to be found on the 24 hour stats page.

Mark Naylor writes to tell us that there was a small review of Halo on the (presumably British) TV program Cybernet. If anyone has more information, we’d love to hear about it!

We’ve been having a touch of trouble with our FTP, so this is a bit late, today… but the Halo SETI Marines are kicking into high gear. Almost a 50% increase in daily stats received today, thanks in large part to the addition of Mr Froste to the team. And the team has a new…
