Gamespy says HaloPC is Top 10 material
Gamespy has posted the results of its 2003 Game of the Year Awards… and Halo took 6th in the top 10 PC Games. Not too shabby! (Thanks to Pico for pointing it out.)

Trust the Tiger

In The End, they got in.
Apparently, Linkin Park visited Bungie last week… and someone was around to take pictures, because it got posted on Xbox.com. According to Evil Otto, a couple of them were at the Fanfest in Santa Monica last year, too. Thanks to cubanB for the heads-up.

Performance on a Mac (or two)
Geek Patrol has put up a Halo Performance Review, with actual numbers, from a pair of macs (that pretty well bracket the quality range). Good info. Thanks to Plastic Chicken for the heads-up.

German Translations
A couple of people have translated the German review – Wraith posted his translation on our forum, and I added a second sent in via email from The Dark One to the thread. Check ’em both out!

When you open the door…
Yesterday, Warbow resurrected the Calvin and Halo strip to take a shot at Stuntmutt. (Stuntmutt returned fire, by the way.) Today, we have the first and last Calvin and Halo guest strip for you – Warbow’s decided to let this one through, but it ain’t gonna happen again. Enjoy it!

Puzzlemania runs rampant
Gutupio has posted a NEW puzzle on our forum; it’s self-enclosed. (That is, the puzzle is the post itself.) Prize is a Grunt Plushy (if enough people have signed the petition to convince Microsoft to market them – currently, there are 1752 signatures, can we break 2000?), or street cred if they don’t get made.…

An Electrifying Experience
A Halo review on Game Chronicles today… 8.8/10, with downgrades for the ‘staggering system requirements’. Not a bad read. Thanks, Blue’s News (via Ash).

No waterguns for a week.
We got word from mrsmiley that Halo Babies is offline until the 22nd; they went through too much bandwidth, too fast. He did want to assure everyone that they’ll be moving soon, and the bandwidth problems will go away!

Wow. Just… wow.
Okay, so this one’s WEIRD. Late last week, we got mail from Billy Oliva, talking about a bizarre glitch in Truth and Reconciliation (the third campaign level). Right after entering the ship, he came across a stack (literally) of covenant, piled up against a door, waiting to attack. he sent screenshots… but they were small,…

Bungie, eat your heart out.
XLNC once again rocks the Casbah with some spectacular screenshots; he got somewhat creative with the hacking, and the end results are simply stunning. Check ’em out. (Who needs dev tools, anyway?)

Is There A Halo Community?
I missed this last week… but Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, has written the first of a multipart series about the Halo community. Coming as it does from a longtime Bungie fan and community leader, it’s an interesting read; newer fans might find it interesting to see where the ‘old guard’ is coming from. I’m looking…

Sippan (who posts as Vid Boi on our forum) wrote to tell us of a review of Mac Halo (in Swedish) at the Swedish news site MacNytt.se. 9/10, for those who don’t read Swedish.
