Kotaku has a bit about a hand-painted Halo Faceplate for sale on eBay – if you hurry, you can still get your bid in. (It’s currently sitting at $84, with a bit over a day still remaining.) I’ve provided a link to the US eBay site – but if you’re in Canada, you can use the Kotaku link, which goes to the Canadian site. Thanks to JeSteR 343 for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 13:38:04 UTC)

GetScrims
Jamie Anderson wrote to us about a new website he’s started up – it’s called GetScrims, and it’s designed to match up people looking for games on XBL with others of similar skill level, attitude, etc. Think of it as more in-depth MatchMaking. Interesting concept!(Louis Wu 12:42:57 UTC)

HGN Reviewed at Gametrailers
Capt 0bvious noticed that Gametrailers has a video review of the Halo Graphic Novel (Thanks, Mr.Cynical); it’s chock-full of spoilers, so don’t watch this unless you’ve read the HGN already. Nicely put together!(Louis Wu 12:36:39 UTC)

I wish I still lived in Portland
Hehe – it’s a stretch, but demus points out an article at Videogamesblogger.com, which writes about Halo: the beer! (It’s Widmer, and it’s an IPA – how bad could it be?)(Louis Wu 11:05:48 UTC)

Filling in the Gaps
demus found an editorial from the folks over at Game Overdrive which suggests that the Halo Graphic Novel is the key to understanding the current story arc in the Halo series. (Some of our forum denizens disagree – read the rest of the thread for details.)(Louis Wu 11:01:15 UTC)

Halo Mac now Universal Binary!
As I’m checking out some of my favorite Mac haunts, I see that the decent folks at Destineer/MacSoft have *rewritten* the entire Halo Mac code and made it a Universal Binary, meaning it’ll work natively on Apple’s Intel-powered Macs. Niiice! It’s a paid upgrade ($5 or $10, download or shipped CD) but for a 3 year old game? I don’t have a problem with that. Blackstar mentioned it on the forum first.(Ding 08:04:35 UTC)

H:PP Update
Just letting the H:PP listeners know (all three of you) that we didn’t have an episode this week because of audio problems. I blame Funkmon. We will re-record this Friday, then resume regular scheduling. Thanks for your understanding.
EDIT: Scheduling conflicts has caused us to skip (gasp!) this edition of the podcast. We know it’s not the best thing to do when we only have three episodes out, but don’t worry; we’ll recap what we missed when we do the podcast (for real) next week. Sorry about that.
Edit 2: I blame Funkmon.

I was like you once
Another writeup of LANbex (including video of the opening of the Tijuana Mama eating contest) was put online last night by Mintz, who’s altogether too full of himself and his Halo-playing abilities. Don’t be too hard on him, though, he’s only got a few hours to live.(Louis Wu 10:46:53 UTC)

Stream of Haloness
dgcrawford decided to run through Halo and Halo 2 in one marathon play session… and write up his thoughts. The Halo section took him almost 5000 words! (He’s looking for feedback about whether it’s worth writing up the Halo 2 section.)(Louis Wu 10:44:41 UTC)
