Well, it’s a Tuesday, at least.
Computer and Video Games is floating a rumor that Halo: Reach might be released on September 14, based on “UK retail sources”. Given that just three days ago, Bungie said “we don’t have a release date set in stone just yet”, I’m inclined to take this info with more than just a grain of salt… but if it makes you feel better to have a date to put on your calendar, go for it. (Thanks to NeoGAF’s evanswolves for noticing this.)(Louis Wu 16:01:49 UTC)

On Halo’s Audio
cheapLEY noticed an Jay Weinland’s talk at the GDC at IGN – there are a bunch of interesting tidbits, but the most interesting (for me) was that Halo audio is actually better for users with a hard drive than for those without. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 13:12:53 UTC)

RT: Killer Fashion
When I asked Griffon what she wanted me to say about today’s comic involving a recent and bizarre news story we read, she just asked that I remind the world that she is awesome, and we are all lucky to know her. Then she locked herself in her “dressing room” and refused to come out. I didn’t have the heart to point out that it was the hall closet. Hopefully the pile of air filters and old towels will clue her in.
