Oh noes
They seem like mayflies, gone all too soon. Captain Spark of dialog collecting fame is back in retirement, and now... it's too horrible.

Re: Oh noes
And another one falls. I never found the time to really look around, now I never can.
High Impact Halo is no more
In sad news, it looks like High Impact Halo has closed its doors - visiting the site shows a domain parking page, so I guess Ducain let the domain expire. I knew he was starting to get tired... but I hadn't realized he was ready to hang it up. We'll miss you, man. (Louis Wu 14:27:25 UTC) (permalink)

Re: Oh noes
W00ts! 
Claude got me with one 4/1 tricksy. Good to know, tho.
C'mon, folks. Think a little.
Apparently, there are still people confused about which of our newsposts on Tuesday were real, and which were April Fools jokes. The Bungie Online Map, HIH closing its doors, Legendary Armor getting a C&D notice, the Halo MMO, and the Halo Wars interview were all fake. Everything else was (as far as I know) real. If the news date says "April 1" and the actual news is hard to believe... look twice. Really. (Louis Wu 11:06:57 UTC) (permalink)

Most were obvious, but the recent attrition took its toll. That one seemed all too likely.
Whew. And, I mean, even this new one's real:
What the...
Hawty McBloggy found a My Little Master Chief Pony on eBay. It's as bizarre as it sounds. (Louis Wu 11:11:32 UTC) (permalink)
When "My Little Master Chief Pony on eBay" is a real news item, ya gotta wonder. It ain't always obvious.

Re: Oh noes
A couple of good things this time.
I switch to your side - you let me go! Deal?
Captain Spark was playing Campaign, and started hearing a bunch of new Grunt dialogue. He's not coming out of retirement - but he sent along nearly 50 new snippets for our Halo 3 Dialogue Databank. Some of them are simply priceless. Go listen! (Louis Wu 14:37:08 UTC) (permalink)
I've heard most of these many times. Since I never have time to record them, it's good they're finally in the Bank. Includes a few I haven't heard, like
He's in our little crushy hands!
Great Dogs of Dungness!
...and some faves like
Why are you hiding - you know I'm gonna find you! Superior intellect.
That ever happen? You're lookin' for somethin', and then you think okay, there's no way, that's not - oh, that's you! Haha - I didn't even think - yeah. Oh, that's right - I have to kill ya.

Plus news of the next novel, The Cole Protocol. Looks promising.
Halo: The Cole Protocol will be the sixth novel set in the Halo Universe. Tobias S. Buckell, author of Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin will pen the novel, which reveals the location of the Spartan Gray Team and "takes readers into an unexplored conflict of the Human-Covenant War where unlikely alliances are formed and shattered..."
