You guys are great. The Halo SETI Team gained 4 new members yesterday. Keep it up! Pax.

Go enjoy the last weekend of summer (or winter, if you’re in the southern hemisphere). We’ll contact you if anything big happens on the Halo front. Pax.

Don’t forget that mail will get to us at this address, until our mailserver is back up.

The PC Paradox poll is slowly but surely shifting to Halo. Help it out.

The IMG SETI Team gained 4 new members, but they’re still 25 results and several hundred hours behind the Halo SETI Team. Don’t let the Halo team fall behind! Pax.

Take-Two just can’t stay constant. Down 5/16 to 9 5/8 (-3.14%) in heavy trading.

New upload from Edward Howard – a slightly unfinished character study. Find it on the Miscellaneous Art page. Thanks, Edward!

Okay, it’s not ideal, but it should allow contact until our nameserver and mailserver are up and running again. Mail can be sent to us here, for now.

Halo: The Darkside is getting some serious updating… The Funnies section is growing by leaps and bounds, and other areas are filling out as well. In a few days, they’ll have a public “Halo Events” calendar. Go take a look. (Thanks, StrobeShock.)

Okay, so you can’t watch the newest Halo trailer, because it hasn’t been released yet. You can ensure that Halo wins its rightful place in the Action Game Pantheon. Currently (6 am CDT) it’s tied for third place with Wheel of Time, and behind only Duke Nukem Forever and Battlezone II. See if you can bring it up! Vote here.

The Bungie SETI Team adds another member, and still holds a commanding lead over both the Halo SETI Team and the IMG SETI Team. New results are being churned out all the time, though… make a difference and join a team! Pax.

PC Paradox’s Best Action Game poll is back up, and Halo’s in 5th Place, with 8.1% of the vote (as of 8:00 pm CST). Go show your interest!

Some interesting speculation on liquid action, like this post by Loren Petrich. Have an idea? Toss it into the pot on our forums!

Yesterday’s earnings must have hit the market today. Take-Two closed up strong, +13/32 (+4.26%) today to 9 15/16.

Bungie’s SETI team membership rises to 18. One of the new members is called Traxus! Pax.

Halo’s SETI team membership rises to 17 and screams ahead of IMG’s SETI team. Pax.

Too many people voting for Halo? PC Paradox’s Best Action Game poll seems to be broken. Try again later.

The Core has two interesting news items. One from Nathan Bitner and the other from Marty O’Donnell (Total Audio). Music page has been updated with Marty’s info. Pax.

Up, down, up, down… Take-Two down 7/32 to 9 17/32 (-2.24%) at close of trading (8/25). This comes on the heels of a reported 65% increase in net sales and a whopping 215% increase in net income for the third fiscal quarter. Thanks, Next Generation.

“Special treat” revealed! Bungie.net gets a total overhaul… go check it out! The Soul has a second home…
