Bob – for real
The general Halo public met Bob, the Killball Dude, in Friday’s Weekly Update – but pete_the_duck (who came up with the concept in the first place) wanted it to be perfect. Some great shots in this post.(Louis Wu 23:26:48 UTC)

Around The Ring – Left 4 Dead Campaign Show
Attention Left 4 Dead players, both PC and Xbox alike! The show order is a bit mixed after that glitch with the website. So I’m putting the invite out for Around The Ring to be recorded on the 8th of March. The topic: NO MERCY! We want your stories, tips, and tricks for the No Mercy level, both on the regular Campaign mode, and in Versus mode. Tell us how you survived the vicious tank attacks, and thwarted the witch’s attempts to slash you a few new orifices. Give us your strategies for finishing off survivors in Versus mode, or for surviving the horde as a human.
Oh and in case I didn’t mention the show is open to both PC and Xbox players! You have a decent amount of time to get em’ in using THE BIG GREEN BUTTON, so I expect a new record for ATR submissions! Tell your friends (if you have any), and let the zombiefest commence! Send submissions in using THE BIG GREEN BUTTON (which is actually working down below this)
P.S. I’m looking for some album art for this episode. The winner gets their name stuck up on the front page and their art proudly displayed in every copy of the episode!
P.P.S USE THE BIG GREEN BUTTON!!!

RT: Left for…
I don’t know if you saw the news last week, but thanks to the popularity of Left 4 Dead, it’s been plunged into the realm of parody porn. I don’t know why I wrote it all uppity like that, I’m obviously going to buy it when it comes out. Anyway, today’s comic…

Transmission Interrupted…….
Please remain calm, all is well. All is well. There, now that we have the obligatory Kevin Bacon line out of the way…. run for your lives! No, seriously. It appears that at least one Bungie AI (most likely Durandal, that son of Traxus) has achieved rampancy again.

HBO Mythic Map Code Giveaway, Round 2 – Results
Wouldn’t you know it… after a week like this one, I’d come down with the flu. This is pretty much the only newspost I’m going to be able to manage for a while… but I figured folks were waiting on pins and needles, so it’s going up. The HBO Mythic Map Code Giveaway, Round 2 garnered nearly 2700 entries (and many, many more attempts, by people using the same IP address, or the same email address, or the same gamertag). Last night, a very quick little line of MySQL code chose five eligible names at random – and this morning, emails were sent to each of those five. The winning gamertags were:- imMonkeyGOD
- minasodaboy
- Free at Last
- ZigZagLemons
- ShrimpBoots
If one of these gamertags is yours, and you DIDN’T receive an email… message Louis Wu on Xbox LIVE from your gamertag, and we’ll straighten it out.If you typoed your gamertag on the input form, and you didn’t get the email… well, you’re out of luck. We’ll give your code to someone else. (We already had people trying to scam us for the LAST round of codes – the easiest solution is just to pick another random name.) Congrats to the winners, thanks to everyone for playing!(Louis Wu 14:57:07 UTC)

Arbi’s Island
ZZoMBiE13 created this image about a year ago, for a then-upcoming issue of Another Halo Comic Strip. He never ended up using it – but he found it recently, and thought someone might enjoy it as a desktop. For all you gamers who grew up with Mario… this one’s for you.(Louis Wu 19:34:39 UTC)
