Walking Through The Woods At Night
Devin has produced transcripts of the A Walk in the Woods and Under Cover of Night tracks from Halo; each file archive includes a PDF, a MIDI file, a PrintMusic document and a read me. We've added them to our Halo Sheetmusic section.
You've Got Me Spinning
Xbox365 says it thinks it has received a copy of the actual Xbox 360 logo. Kotaku thinks it's got a picture of an Xbox 360 memory card. (I think I feel dizzy. Comments saved for later... --Ed.)
Playing Well With Others
VersionTracker recently noted the release of version 2.2r2b of OpenPlay, a cross platform networking library originally designed for multiplayer games.
Why is that of interest to Bungie fans? Because Bungie was actually the original user and co-developer of OpenPlay with Apple, which at the time was called Uber-- the foundation of the cross-platform networking used in the award-winning Myth RTS games.
Friends Lists Not Being Reset
Both Major Nelson in his blog and Frankie in the HBO forum have confirmed that despite what you may have heard, the reset of game statistics for Halo 2 will not affect your friends list. Many of you may have been receiving-- or even sending-- voice and text messages to your friends with instructions not to delete them, in order to preserve your lists post-reset. It isn't necessary.
More Purported Xbox 360 Images Surface
The web is abuzz with news about more images from ourcolony.net that purport to be of the Xbox 360, as well as some that appear to come from other sources, and still others that were apparently debunked months ago but have come back to haunt us. If you haven't been following the action at ourcolony.net, here are a few links to other gaming sites that have the images:
Stubbs' Zombie Army Wants You... Or At Least Your Brains
[image:8460 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Stubbs The Zombie has a new website up, part of Aspyr Media's campaign to promote Wideload Games title, due out for Mac, PC and Xbox this fall. The site has new videos and screenshots, some of which we've added recently to our very own Stubbs gallery. There's also the promise of new material every two weeks for members of the Zombie Army.
It's All About Story
Ross Mills asks Halo Bible author Eric Trautmann about storytelling in games on Eric's blog:
Q: RPG videogames are well known for their in-depth stories. Without major spoilers, what 5 action games would you describe as having the best, most well-thought out story apart from Halo? (which is cheating, since you did that one's story)
Credit Where Credit Is Due
Most of the reviews and feedback about the 1.1 Update to Halo 2 has been overwhelmingly positive, aside from a few gripes about the Magnum. Joe "Dyslexia" Renaud over at Major League Gaming has done an in-depth analysis of the changes in this update, evaluated from the perspective of pro gamers.
Sketch: We Nerfed The Needler
Brian "SketchFactor" Jarrard talked to 1UP.com about the changes in the 1.1 Halo 2 Update, touching on one particular weapon tweak (or rather the lack thereof) that was close to the hearts of the author:
