Kudos to Heady for pointing this one out! IMG has posted an interview with Halo Project Leader Jason Jones, and it's not to be missed. Here's an excerpt:

As posted at IMG, Justin Owens has created a small, imitation Halo movie aimed at exposing Halo's new, envelope pushing AI system... by having an alien aircraft attack a cyborg dummy.

At 4 megs, it's small enough to download, which I'm currently doing. Thus, I can't say much more about it... browser beware. ;)

As posted in the forum, mad.max has started a new Halo@Home group within the ever expanding SETI@Home distributed computing project. Like other groups, this is simply a group of users working and contributing under the same name, for the glory of the group as a whole.

Somewhere in the heavens, they are waiting... check out the forum post or the official page for more information on joining.

After a brief outage yesterday, halo.bungie.org is back, sporting a new page layout, as well as amusing picture of Bungie beta testers . They've also posted a report on the changes in the color of the Halo logo... looks like a simple case of more cyan to me.

Apparently the magazine exclusives have expired, because Bungie has posted a clean, non-watermarked copy of their second screenshot at their Screenshots page.

You've likely seen it already, but it's nicer to collect mint edition screenshots...

Crashed has announced his new Halo site, the Praetorian Militia. Choosing to specialize in Halo order/clans instead of news, his site is intended to be a roster of Halo groups and their players. Thinking of starting one up? Stop by and check it out.

Kudos to Crashed, who pointed out that the second half of Mac Game News' Halo preview has been posted. Focussing on weapons, it's a must read, and will provide material for another FAQ update tonight. Be sure to stop by and check it out.

A quick item of interest for users of the Macintosh Voodoo2 and Voodoo3 reference drivers. 3Dfx has updated them both, fixing a few bugs and adding the ability to flash your ROM back to its PC state. Here they are:

• Voodoo3
• Voodoo2

Let's hope this isn't the end of 3Dfx's support for these drivers.

Marathon's Story has pointed out an article at Mac Central regarding the now infamous Gamespot Macworld Expose article. Included in it is a statement from Bungie contradicting one of the centerpiece quotes in the article... worth taking a look at.
