    Been a bit lax on newsposting in the last few days – apologies. Will clear some of that up today. Dzejms noticed a Cnet story a couple of days ago devoted to Nyclan, a videogame center in Manhattan – a place you can play a lot of Halo. Check it out – especially if you’re close enough to USE it.(Louis Wu 10:24:07 UTC)

    You are viewing the latest version of “HUSHEDCASKET.COM”. There’s a lot to say about the site so let me get started.

    First off, I have released the site today on 1/1/7 for you to start using so that you can begin providing feedback, recommending suggestions, and filing bug reports. With your normal use, you’ll eventually help evolve the website into a highly functional and useful tool for us. This site will evolve sightly over the next few months. New features will be added as you suggest them. Of course, not all features will be added, but feel free to ask away. You are going to find bugs with the site. File a bug report and we’ll squash it.

    Secondly, the look of the site. The theme is obviously based on the HALO universe. The look and feel will change slightly. The shoutbox will get “themed”. The stories on the front page will get slightly tweaked. But, if you want something changed, then make a suggestion on the THX.com project page (more on that later).

    Next, there will probably be some permissions problems. You won’t be able to access some things. You might even get access to areas you’re not supposed to see (yikes). Be the man and report that stuff as you find it.

    Avatars? They’re not imported. Sorry. You’ll have to find a new avatar for now. Maybe in the future I’ll come up with a way to get your old avatar back. But for now, just upload a new avatar to your profile.

    BTW, I think it would be cool if we could all upload an avatar of ourselves…our mug shot. If you want help in making a cool mug shot, let me know and I’ll help add some effect to a picture of your choice.

    Speaking of profiles. Profiles are going to be really cool on the new website. They aren’t ready just yet, but in the near future you’ll be able to input all kinds of extra information about yourself. Information like:

    * your XBOX Live gamertag
    * your online screen names to various websites (digg.com, flickr.com, 1up.com, redvsblue.com, Bungie.net, MySpace.com, facebook.com, etc.)
    * images of yourself
    * MySpace and Facebook like background information
    * and so on

    Stay tuned for that, because I think it will be really cool. We’ll all be able to easily see each other’s XBOX Live gamertag, a link to everyone’s MySpace profiles, and so on.

    Competitive match results. In the near future, I’m going to list [THX] match results in a sortable and easy to read format. This means we’ll easily be able to keep up with TWL and MLG match results, see the scores, and who played. They’ll also be a section for screenshots.

    Finally all bug reports and feature requests should be sent to here:

    http://hushedcasket.com/project/website4_0/

    Use that page to submit all non-critical issues. Some of you have already used the “Contact” form linked to at the top of the page to contact me about issues. You recognized that those were critical issues and sent me an email. That was the thing to do. You guys are always welcome to send non private bug reports to me via the contact form.

    Looks like we might take the day off here, but Stuntmutt never rests. It’s Monday, so there’s a new One One Se7en for you. (You might, of course, find that last night’s partying, coupled with the joke in this strip, will send you into paroxysms of cramping… it’s up to you whether you actually read it.)(Louis Wu 17:57:33 UTC)

    Happy New Year – Step away from the computer!

    All of us here at HBO wish all of our friends and family the very best for a bright and fruitful new year.

    In what I would like to consider a tradition started back at the end of 2003, we will shut down the forum for a few hours. Those of you forum monkies will have no choice but to interact with your loved ones and think of the coming 12 months and all the goodies that might swing our way.

    Over at MLGPro.com, you can find player match commentary from Defy, in video form. (Heh – was probably filmed a while back; he starts by saying it’s a match between top-rated Final Boss and his own second-rated team… been a while since Carbon hasn’t been in one of those two spots.) Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 22:53:53 UTC)
