A site called Joystiq is reporting a rumor that both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 2 may both be using IBM-made PPC chips. Thanks cooked gamers.

Bungie FanFest Update
SketchFactor has posted an update to the Bungie FanFest info at Bungie.net The Fest will be held at Experience Music Project in Seattle. Admission is free, but you have to bring your invitation and be over 17 or accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Help Building 7th Column Themes
We missed it, but awhile back Bungie.net had an article on the new Theme Builder for the recently-revised 7th Column community site. The theme builder had been absent from the newly-launched site, but now it's back. Now, Rip-Saw has produced a multilayered Photoshop document to help people work on the visual design of their site before using the Theme Builder. Thanks HBO for the news item and hosting Rip-Saw's file.
Confessions Of A Kinda #1 Bungie Fan
xblgames has interviewed Bungie's "sorta" #1 fan, Miguel "Freewill" Chavez, talking about Bungie and the Bungie community's past, present and future. Thanks again HBO.
More Halo 2 Interviews
Two more interviews up: Bungie's Pete Parsons at HomeLAN Fed talks about Halo 2, and AKQA's Rikki Khanna talks about the Halo2.com website. Thanks once more, HBO.
Halo 2 Guide Expands
[image:8488 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]The Halo 2 Illustrated Guide that Rampancy began compiling last week, using images extracted from Halo2.com by akba and dogchow, has now been greatly expanded with the assistance of BOLL who provided even more images.
New sections have been opened:
These sections are still not yet complete, of course, and will continue to expand in the near future. Each section features an illustration and text describing an aspect of Halo 2. Images can be viewed in several sizes, and users can attach comments to any item in the Guide.
Choose Your Weapons: GameSpy Interviews Ferrex
The second of GameSpy's series of interviews for the week before Halo's release is already out; in it, Tyson "Ferrex" Green talks about some of the weapons in Halo 2, about the changes made to some of our old favorites, and the weapons that will soon be our new favorites.
Among the more interesting points: you can now snipe grenades in mid-air to detonate them (if you're a good shot) and weapons specially designed for melee combat do more damage when used in that mode (the plasma sword and the brute shot, for instance).
When One Betrayal Is Just Not Enough
Just in time for Halo 2, part VIII of the Junkyard's series on realism in Halo has been posted. This part covers Two Betrayals.
Thanks Ryan "Mhaddy" Matthews.
John Vs Gordon-- Again
It seems like we've seen something like this before... but GameSpy is running one of their grudge match polls, with Halo 2 head to head against Half-Life 2. Bungie and MS are really pulling out the stops on this one, according to Louis Wu at HBO, so go vote!
Oh, and don't forget to vote in the U.S. presidential election, too, while you're at it.
Paparazzi Set Loose On Halo 2
[image:8472 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]A new set of 12 screenshots have shown up in the Celebrities section of MSN, spotted by M3XGhost39 who alerted Louis Wu at HBO. Some are old, some are new, some aren't supposed to be out yet, apparently, and some might be spoilers if you knew what you were looking at.
About five of the twelve are multiplayer (one, two, three, four, five) it seems the rest are single player (six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve) although in many cases they are cropped so tightly you can't see much of the level they are in.
We've added them to our Halo 2 Gallery.
