Domino’s Cryptum Giveaway
Domino Theory has a new giveaway for you – he wants to get a copy of Halo: Cryptum into your hot little hands. Sign up on this page, and he’ll be picking one name per day for the next four days (starting tomorrow)! One caveat, this time around – the contest is US-only (because he has the books in-hand, and has to mail them himself). If you’re a US resident, though – go sign up! Update: my mistake – all four winners will be chosen on Friday.(Louis Wu 17:00:17 UTC)

Obligatory
Mc_leprechaun pointed out that a recent VG Cats comic was Halo-themed… and I gotta say, I laughed. Update: iPants pointed out that we already mentioned this when it went live – almost 5 months ago. WOW, is that comic a slow updater! (Sorry, my bad.)(Louis Wu 16:49:47 UTC)

Halo Nation ‘hacking’ story – clarified
Forerunner, a sysop for the Halo Nation wiki, wrote to ask that we let you know that the incident that occurred at Halo Nation over the weekend was NOT an attack by hackers – it was simply edited, as any wiki can be edited, to include pornographic pictures. They’ve cleaned up the mess, banned the offending user, and wanted you to know that the wiki is safe for use. More information can be found in their press release. (Louis Wu 16:45:37 UTC)

VentureBeat talks to Frankie
DEEP NNN noticed a video interview on VentureBeat – Frank O’Connor talks about the upcming Defiant Map Pack and the transition from Bungie to 343. Although this has been pretty obvious for quite a while, it’s nice to hear it stated outright that the Noble Map Pack was Bungie’s last foray into Halo mapmaking… period. (DEEP NNN typo’d the subject line of his post, but he MEANT that Noble was Bungie’s last Reach DLC.)(Louis Wu 21:53:26 UTC)

Arby ‘n’ The Chief: Drunken Halo
Arby ‘n’ the Chief has Episode 6 of Season 5 up and online – everyone hates Arbiter, I guess, except the giant spider. And maybe Trent. We’re back in soap-opera mode… thanks to Moorpheusl9 for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 21:46:03 UTC)

Birth Of A Spartan Piano Sheet Music
Finally, after several months, here they are. I based it on this song:

I don’t know if they’re right; I’m new at doing sheet music.
I’ll add the MIDI file later.

Podtacular 249: Podtacular Update
Download
After nearly a month of no podcast being put out, we decided to come out of our shell and talk about some of the new things in the Halo-verse that have been appeared since our last meeting. We had the announcement of the Defiant Map Pack, which falls in two weeks. There were also some updates to Halo Waypoint that provides an interesting perspective with your Halo: Reach stats. There was also the Joystiq announcement about a confirmed(?) Halo: CE remake. We will be having shows to follow up on each one of these topics separately. Enjoy
