Psyrixx sends word that the Psyjnir Complex is back up and running. It’s not fully fleshed out yet (the front page says ‘nearing completion!’) but there’s quite a bit there, and if you send feedback now, changes can probably be made more easily. Swing by – looks like he’s ramping up to cover ALL Bungie…

Confirmation is always nice… When asked on the R.net forum whether Xbox Halo will actually be at Gamestock next month, Matt Soell respondedUnless Mt. Rainier erupts, covering us and our source servers in a thick blanket of molten death, we should be there.Stranger things have happened… but we’re betting it’s a go.

Thanks to Griffon (of Halo Command Central) who noticed that one of the sites listed on our links page as “Halo Command” has changed its name to “Halo Generation”. (URL seems the same, though…) Links page updated.

The secret’s out! I just got back from giving my prayer wheel a spin, and noticed the Computer Dating Agency on the Marathon’s Story page. Well, I browsed around a little bit, and lo and behold – out popped a familiar face! If he’s looking for dates, I guess there’s no longer any need to…

Thanks to ax, who noted on the R.net forum that Gamespot has a story that discusses Gamestock, Microsioft’s press-only event next month, which makes a welcome statement:Bungie Software will be showing the Xbox version of HaloThis has been speculated for a while, but it’s nice to hear it in the context of an actual story…

Thanks to black flag and a red star, who has sent in his own contribution to the Fan Fiction section – a fast-paced thriller whose title should help with the twist… Check it out.

glock writes to say that HaloNews.Org has put up a new poll – “Which group do you most look forward to playing in Halo?” Go let ’em know! Pax.

More fan fiction – Foxhound sends in the first chapter of ‘Group3’, a gritty story of soldiers under fire. Check it out in our Fan Fiction section!

A Halo paintjob on a Porsche 959? Maybe… The R.net thread asking for suggestions for Bungie gear has reached epic proportions. Chime in!

Thanks to Chris Cox, who’s sent in Part 2 of his fanfic “Prisoner” series. You can find it (along with Part 1, and his three-part “Warrior” series) in our Fan Fiction section. He’s envisioning two more parts… so keep your eyes open!

Seen on the R.net forum: Bungie would like to knowIf you could have only one Halo-related doo-dad, what would it be? It doesn’t have to be conventional (t-shirt, poster, book, etc.) though if that’s the thing you’d want the most, by all means say so.Matt goes on to say that they’re not promising anything… but…

Dorkonaspork writes to say that AOD Halo has been fleshed out a bit. Stop by… send him suggestions, if you have any.

It’s becoming an ugly pattern – grab the SETI stats page Monday morning, lack time to actually process it until Monday afternoon. The news – could be better. We have some new team members, and are very grateful for Jacob Ericsson’s 513 units, and SerialSPNKR’s 100, but overall, the Halo SETI Marines are slipping. Only…

Once again, Friday’s Halo Update posted at Haloplayers has been added to our searchable Halo Update database. Is that the first time Matt’s discussed missions? Check it out.

Thanks to eldar-colonel, of Halo HQ, who found yet ANOTHER poll in which Halo plays a role – This time it’s PC PowerPlay, asking “Which game are you most looking forward to?” Halo trails Black and White and Return to Castle Wolfenstein (by how much is unknown, since there are no totals… but percentage-wise, it’s…

Thanks to Kharn353, who noticed another poll over at the MGON network main page, asking what game you’re waiting for. Currently Halo’s in third place, trailing Black and White and Tribes 2. What game are YOU waiting for? Pax.

Another poll to smash! (Let’s try not to cheat this time…) Thanks to Ph.D. for noting on our forum that MSXbox has a new poll up, asking which would be the one game you’d buy for the Xbox if you had money enough for only one. Halo currently has a slim lead over Metal Gear…

And the roll continues. Matt sent his weekly Halo update to Haloplayers… there’s some good stuff in there today. The big news – the Oni team has joined forces with the Halo team to become the ‘Dream Team’… and they’re ALL working on Halo. Woohoo! Beyond that, there are bug fixes, working material types, almost-working…

Thanks to Iden (who mailed this to us this morning) and Forensic (who posted it to our forum a little later), for the heads-up on a comment posted at MSXbox.com. Ed Fries jumped into the thread started by the no-delay news bit we mentioned a few days ago. Here’s what he had to say:”Any of…

And the recount is over… according to the readers of VoodooExtreme, the best game developer (with almost 30% of the 11,000 legitimate votes) is Blizzard. Bungie followed in second place, with 17% of the vote. Looking Glass (a dead studio) was third, followed by Valve and Dynamix. Makes you wonder what the logs REALLY looked…
