Halo 3 Boards has an interview with our own distinguished Louis Wu, the “Godfather of HBO” (also known as the “Legal Guardian, Babysitter, and Annoyingly Wiser Cousin of HBO”). Anyway, check it out, and take a look around there while you’re at it!

Evil Otto dropped by our forum today, and in the midst of a discussion on Needler-wielding Sentinels and their presence in Halo 2, mentioned an interview he did for Macromedia on using Director to prototype the UI in the game. It’s a great article with a bunch of cool info in it, including a demo…

Yahoo Games has an interview with Peter Jackson, discussing the translation between video games and films and looking both at the King Kong game, taken from the movie, and the Halo movie taken from the game. Nothing too new, but probably worth a read anyway.

One One Se7en has a little trouble with cause and effect in today’s comic. If Stuntmutt was referring to himself, then he either forgot all the bottles lying around, or that’s the strangest pub I’ve seen.

Dedicated newshound 3Suns noticed an article on game balancing over on MLGPro. Halo and Halo 2 are both mentioned, so you might want to go give it a look-see, then come back and argue strenuously about the old pistol or matchmaking or whatever you get the most fired up about. Or not! Maybe just read…

There’s an article up at Bungie.Net showing off a few of the more popular items available over at the Bungie Store. It’s all stuff that been there for at least a little while, but Alta’s showing off some upcoming hoodies, so it’s worth checking out. The prized forum “FIRST” award goes to none other than…

mrsmiley drops by the forum to mention a huge update to the art section over at Halobabies.net. Some awesome stuff over there, go check it out!

A lot of things come to mind reading the latest One One Se7en. Regret is most definitely one of them.

Even in these times of uncertainty, with our leader off who knows where (even though he hasn’t got the sense to stay off the ‘net), some things stay the same. A pun about puns? Who else to deliver but Stuntmutt and One One Se7en.

In other dialogue news, Captain Spark lets us know that he’s recorded another 18 snippets, plus a bizarre sound from back in the T & R. Check ’em out! (Side note: Wu, you’re supposed to be on vacation, so vacate!) Update: Yeah, yeah… I AM vacating. Here are CS’s submissions in our Dialogue Databank. I…

MLG kicks off the 2006 season with a huge, detailed announcement full of tour and event details, rules, and a mess of other stuff. Check it out, and thanks to Derek for the heads-up on the forum.

DJ Voltage Spike of MMORadio.com drops by the forum to announce that Major Nelson will be their live guest tonight on the Gametime Radio Show. The show starts at 6 pm PST, so listen in to hear what the Major has to say about… Xbox Live stuff. They’ll also have a toll-free number and a…

In an effort to help the free-market economy keep the money flowing, Bungie has updated their Store with some new merchandise. A carabiner keychain, and four new shirts. Of particular note is a very old-school Marathon shirt, faithfully re-created by Shishka. Nice. Check it all out!

No, not a FAQ on how to cheat. ;-P I just noticed over on Major Nelson’s blog that Bungie has recently posted an updated FAQ on cheating and Halo 2. Lots of answers about modified content, clans, reporting, and all that stuff, so go check it out, and remember: play fair, it’s more fun.
