The Naked Truth.
Sometimes it’s funny – Stuntmutt writes a One One Se7en a week or two before its release date, and in the interim the same joke is covered by someone else. Such an anomaly happened today – Stuntmutt’s punchline was usurped by Monday’s Sore Thumbs Online. We’re not in this business to make Stunt look good, though, so we’re publishing this strip anyway. You’ll have to take my word for it that he didn’t whip it out this morning, in a Glenlivet-induced fog. (He can’t generally afford enough Glenlivet to induce a fog, so we should be fine there.)(Louis Wu 15:49:36 UTC)

Halo 3 Cover Contest – Winners Announced
Halo Planet‘s Halo 3 Cover Contest has been over for a bit, and today they’ve announced the winners. 200 entries, 4 winners, with a bunch of Honorary Mentions to come soon. (Heh – are you as amused as I am that the overall winner is (or shares a name with) the head content monkey at Bungie.net?) Check out the pretty pictures!(Louis Wu 15:18:56 UTC)

Colors of the Universe
DMDyet discusses some interesting patterns you may or may not have noticed in the coloring scheme of Halo – in this post, there’s even a visual chart. Does this mean the Prophets are somehow separate from the rest of the Covenant? (If you aren’t a frequent reader of our forum, you might have missed his last project – a ‘vectorization’ of the Master Chief (finished here, with a short Q&A here) – it’s in the Misc Art queue, but it’s definitely worth a separate shout-out.)

Enjoying Sunrises through Bloodshot Eyes
Remember the guy with the Halo room – he had his walls painted for that immersive experience? (We mentioned him here, Bungie put up a story about him a week later.) mrsmiley, over at Halo Babies, has interviewed him, with some new pics and plenty of new comments. I’m not sure I understand how a guy who says he can’t afford a gaming computer spent $3500 outfitting his gaming lair… but that’s not my problem, really, that’s Mrs. Namloco’s. Go read!(Louis Wu 14:16:26 UTC)

Great Headset for Cheap
Wow, nice deal! The Plantronics Halo 2 headset, originally $50, is now $15 at the Plantronics website ($20 with a Communicator) – plus they’ll give a buck to charity for every headset sold! (Ars Technica, where I heard about this great deal, even has a link to a hack that makes this headset work nicely – with volume and mute features – on your Xbox 360.) What are you waiting for? Update: Darkendes pointed out a headset adapter by Datel that allows any headphone with a 2.5 mm jack (this includes this Halo 2 headset) to work with a 360, including volume controls – and it has a built-in splitter, to boot! No hacking necessary.(Louis Wu 05:03:05 UTC)
