Kudos to Pericles, who spotted a job opening for a QA Intern at Bungie’s Chicago offices. Job description includes

Sounds like the perfect opportunity for a Halo fanatic! (We’d apply, but then who’d bring you the news?)

Thanks go to r e c o i l, who sent us a new banner for our Banner page. Nice!

Edward Edelen reminds us of a poll over at3D Action Planet… Halo is trailing Tribes 2 by about 20 votes. Can you fix this? Pax.

Man, this e3 stuff makes us nuts. Somehow, this never made it to our Screenshots page… but GameStar put up an e3 writeup last week that included an not-seen-before-on-the web shot. Very nice pic of the covenant plasma cannon in action. (This WAS published in their print magazine,but hasn’t appeared on the web before, except in bootlegged scans.) We’ll catch up soon, we promise!

HBO offices hit by meteor! Sorry for the downtime folks. Pax.
