Glenda Adams of Westlake Interactive, the company porting the PC port of Halo to the Mac, was mentioned again on InsideMacGames.com, in part 16 of Tuncer Deniz' one-one-one interview series with the president of the Mac porting house.
To wit:
In the forums at HBO and Subnova lately, there's been much attention paid to a special easter egg put in a Halo level by Jaime Case Griesemer for the benefit of his long-time significant other, Meg Pallor Sagi. It has come to be known as The Megg .
The Bungie Store is taking pre-orders for Halo: The Flood . At 6.99 USD it's a bargin! Also please order from the Bungie Store since their profits go towards fan gatherings.
OK, since we hardly ever update around here these days, maybe this will slip by and no one will notice. Maybe not.
Anyway, this has to be about the strangest Halo reference we've ever seen. And before anybody complains, the text and images in this story we're about to link to are of a decidedly sexual, some might say odd-- nature. So be forewarned.

c0ld vengeance has given us his plan for how to handle Halo 2 when it comes out, and entitled it Halo 2: A Bachelor's Guide . We might actually try this; although, to be honest, this is only a slightly formalized version of an average weekend.
IGN is reporting that Halo has now been included in the holiday promotional package that comes with every Xbox sold between December 11 and 31 in Germany. Earlier the bundle included Jet Set Radio Future and Sega GT; now it comes with all three games.
Thanks to Acrappa for the heads-up on RHL.
With the lull in Bungie-related news that inevitably occurs in the void between releases, the natives at HBO have been getting a bit restless in their search for new information.
This search is referred to lovingly as bugging Matt .
