RT: Just Desserts?
Happy Tuesday Everybody!
Damnit. I’m a liar. I didn’t mean that exclamation point. I’m not really that excited that it’s Tuesday. I couldn’t sleep last night, I haven’t had coffee yet, and Jason already stank up the toilet. Life sucks. I guess I am kind…

RT: The Gus Bus?
For this year’s Gamestop Manager’s Conference, we were asked to sponsor one of the shuttle buses that took attendees from the hotel to the conference hall. Not wanting to make just another lame ride, we came up with the Red-side/Blue-side bus pictured below….

Slave Driver John-117?
Dissatisfied with the crazy-AI, talking-plant route that Bungie seems to be taking with Halo 2 and Halo 3, GamePro decided to come up with their own design doc for Halo 3, featuring the Master Chief as a power-mad dictator who leveraged his defeat of the Covenant into hegemony on Earth.

Halo Wars Mobile Phone Wallpapers
Although Bungie is working on its own mobile portal, currently it’s only available for Verizon, and probably only available in certain countries. For the rest of us jonesing to have Halo wallpapers on our cellamaphones, there are other solutions, even for those without any Photoshop skills.
Mid7night created four phone-sized wallpapers out of images captured from the Halo Wars trailer. We’ve created a new phone category in our image gallery for them. If anyone has some others they’d like to submit, drop me a line at narcogen@rampancy.net.

Dead Man’s Potluck: Round 2
Monday night, a bunch of us got together for something Dweezle calls ‘Dead Man’s Potluck’. Everyone had to bring a silly gametype. (I was not allowed to use the Team Carnage options – party poopers, all of ’em.) It was a fun time – and Dweezle’s written it all up. And Eisen Feuer filmed the whole shebang – that’s a lot of video! Check it out.(Louis Wu 21:28:26 UTC)

Halo: Mobile Portal Code – Cracked
Wow. So the letters on the news page (I’ll be yanking them soon, so look now) were noticed by two separate groups within 60 seconds of going live. (Probably more – but c0ld vengeance mentioned them in IRC’s #hbo channel, and Pratch sent mail about them; nobody else pointed them out to ME.) c0ld started a thread on the forum, which got a lot of decent speculation… and then on irc, Decommissioner (with a little spelling help from Konrad) nailed it down – half an hour after it went live. The hive mind works well! The Portal code, for those who can find the Vault on their Verizon phone, is ‘GRAVEMIND’ – courtesy of IN-FUSIO and the HBO community. Enjoy!(Louis Wu 17:12:34 UTC)

Halo: Mobile Portal Launches
A press release went out over the wire this morning – Verizon and IN-FUSIO (the mobile games publisher with rights to Halo on mobile phones) have launched ‘Halo: Mobile Portal’ for Verizon Get It Now customers. If you have a Get It Now phone, you can download the portal and have access to Halo wallpapers, ringtones, XBL stats, story snippets, and more. The section contains a locked area called ‘The Vault’ – content here is available only through codes hidden throughout the Halo universe. What does this mean? Well, one of them is available here at HBO. More details are forthcoming.(Louis Wu 16:23:46 UTC)
