After recieving a number of excellent questions for addition to the FAQ, I've given that slowly growing page an update, adding around half a dozen new questions and revising the answers to some others. Additionally, the Story section is now the Story and World section, to accomodate information regarding Halo's environment as more of it becomes available.
Though there's no new goodies on their site, Bungie is back online and accepting visitors again. Apparently, the problem had something to do with their ISP... seems nobody is safe from their evil ways.
StrobeShock, webmaster at Halo: The Darkside, sends word of a new addition to that rapidly growing site:
I'll have to admit it, to my surprise (and liking) all my hard work has paid off... this site is growing past my expectations. Due to popular request, Halo:the darkside now has a forum.Check it out @ http://www.casualforums.com/circuit/Darkside_Terminal/
Odds are 90% of you don't care about this, so feel free to skip right on by. After some excellent advice from Evan Vetere, I've monkeyed with the site's CSS fonts, and they should be end-user resizable now. If you've been having problems reading it, this should allow you to make it larger within your browser.
And if something completely bizarre has happened, you should probably let me know.
Marathon's Story has a few interesting items on the sword Cortana and the previously unexplained Blam32 message on a recent MWNY Demo movie version. Interesting stuff, though (alas!) nothing earth shattering... we should start a betting pool as to when Bungie will throw the next large stone into our little pond. ;)
StrobeShock sends word of an addition to Halo: The Darkside... a funnies section. Humorous pictures and comics are welcomed, so get your stuff in there.
No longer resting on their laurels (and they have a lot of them), Bungie has revamped its Halo Press page, picking out some glowing quotes from the many articles on Halo thus far.
In terms of content, there's nothing we haven't seen already, but it's cool to see what people have been saying all in one place. Great way to introduce a friend to Halo...
A few days ago, Eduo passed along some interesting MWNY Demo observations, and after a obtaining his permission, I've posted them as a new article in the Database for all to see. Some good stuff in there, worth taking a look at before you watch that Demo for the thousandth time...
