Kudos to Noctavis, who pointed out that the domain www.haloplanet.com has been snatched up, and goes on to discuss the implications of this.

Of course, the rest of us forum monkeys have twisted a legitmate thread into a discussion of the Seven Commandments, so you just might stumble upon something you weren't looking for.

Hardly unexpected, but a little disappointing nonetheless. After making a few inquiries as to the authenticity of the Cortana letter below, I was assured that it is indeed a fake. As such, Tiny has been dispatched and will soon be making a special delivery of shin justice.

Remember folks: believe nothing that you hear, and only half of what you see. ;)

In the wake of the HaloNews interview, I've gotten off my hinder and updated the FAQ with as much new information as I could scrape together. About half a dozen new items in there, and more questions are always

An interesting day already, and getting better. Matt Burns passed along, of all things, this letter from Cortana speaking of yesterday's revelations:

As he s#! t^&%$ f(*&y an@ N@ HOPE

Route Code: EXLTD > XCV - SCRB > ALLCH

There, thats better.

So, this is where you've been hiding, Nathan. I heard about your little slip up. Be glad you still have your limbs, for if you worked for me I would not of tolerated such incompatance. I don't know what he saw in you.

That's right! As alluded to earlier by StrobeShock, HaloNews showed some signs of life today, the 25th we were warned to watch for.

And they're quite the signs. While it's the only thing up right now, HaloNews has posted an interview with Bungie's Nathan Bitner, and it is without a doubt the most exciting and comprehensive interview to date. If you've been getting bored of Halo in the slump over the last few weeks, go and read this interview. Now.

So sweet and sugary, but if you turn your back on them for a second, well, the consequences can be ugly. In an unfortunate attack of the cookie menace, a minor revelation has been bestowed upon our forum:

Picked this up off of an eyebrow raising halo.bungie.org forum post by Loren Petrich. According to this Dreamcast Technical page, Sega's new console will be capable of running OpenGL, among other API's. Old news to some, no doubt, but this would presumably simplify a Halo to Dreamcast port...

As posted at www.bungie.net, next Tuesday will be a special Revision B bungie.net day, with all sorts of stuff happening on Revision B bungie.net server around and after 10pm BST. Should make for an interesting night (of harrassing Bungie employees and admins ;), so make sure you've got Myth II loaded up and stop by.
