RT: Maintenance
We’ve been making some preparations for some site upgrades. One of the updates slowed the site down last week, and the web guys patched a lot of that today. So, if you saw some downtime, that’s what is going on.
I normally make these updates in my journal,…

A Brunt?
In the past couple of weeks, there’ve been a few debates about some oddly-dressed characters visible for a few seconds in the Behind The Scenes documentary. Stuntmutt lays their identity to rest in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 14:44:00 UTC)

7 is Darker. Or, in this case, Lighter.
Over at High Impact Halo, S.O.G. pointed out a scar on Miranda’s cheek that looks an awful lot like a ‘7’. Is this an easter egg? Unofficial word from Bungie: “maybe”. (Yeah, I found it unsatisfying, too.)(Louis Wu 14:31:48 UTC)

Article Trove
oriol003 suggested swinging by his article collection – there are quite a few of them, mostly looking at strategies or specific weapons. Text suffers from the Block of Doom syndrome (no line breaks), but there’s some interesting content there. Take a look!(Louis Wu 12:52:54 UTC)

A Little Rampant Speculation, Part IV
Gravemind is not an easy character to figure out.
From his initial appearance on the scene, as the rumored “big plant thingy” players who downloaded the leaked French copies of Halo 2 reported seeing, to his cliffhanger-inducing interrogation of Cortana, not much was revealed about him.
Some fans can even be forgiving for questioning whether Gravemind is, in fact, related to the Flood at all. Halo 2’s cutscenes only strongly suggest this, without actually stating it. The Art of Halo here rescues us, referring to Gravemind as the “Flood hive mind”.
What exactly does that imply? What does Gravemind want? Given that all these events have apparently played out in the past, with the result that the Halo system was used and all life eradicated, but with the Flood preserved dormant for the cycle to start all over again thousands of years later, what other outcome can be hoped for?
