A Different Corner.
Hurrah! Chalk up another corner shot. Mind, I had some help with this one. I'm sure you can guess from whom...
Move Over Cortana.

UCMC.
While I'm on an Unreal kick, did anyone see the image that was floating around on the net purporting to be a new Halo 2 screenshot? Turns out it was tickled up from another game...

Vengeance Is... His.
When he eventually bleedin' woke up, c0ld 'slugabed' Vengeance joined me for a little UC Capture The Flag. Tell you what - he's a bit handy with that Lightning Gun.
Unreal Special Offers.
To 'limber up' for Halo 2 on Xbox Live, I tried playing a little Unreal Championship this morning. It was all very jolly, and I even managed to be on the winning side a couple of times. Not sure about this communicator business though. Wearing the headset makes me feel like I'm in telesales...

Some Of It May Have Been Swedish...
I'm trying to get onto Xbox Live. I spent an hour or so this afternoon talking through the various things I need to do with c0ld and BOLL. "Words, words, routers, words, USB, words, R745, words, words, words." Something like that anyway. I've ended up ordering a new modem. I'm still not sure it's gonna work. But it's better than some of the suggestions. At one point, BOLL was seriously trying to get me to drill holes in my ceiling...

Fuite (French For Leak).
Gah. We've spent months, years even, seeking out scraps of new info about Halo 2. Then, just a few weeks from launch, a copy gets leaked. All of a sudden, the whole dynamic changes. Far from seeking new material, everyone's in fear of it. People are leaving forums rather than stumble across a spoiler in a post title. Not great.

Captain Keyes? More Like Major Misunderstanding.
Here's a couple of examples of times I've got things badly muddled. The 'Fingerbowl' strip is the one I mentioned in the 'Shellboy' post. I made it when I thought the creature was some kind of crustacean. Of course, it turns out it's a... heh, no spoilers or Ross Mills will be writing more outraged emails to Louis Wu.
This second strip I made after I misread an HBO forum post. Someone called the new Brute weapon a 'slugthrower'. I didn't realise that was just a name the poster had made up. If you don't take that tale into account, the strip becomes very surreal indeed...

Told You I'd Do Better Out Of The Deal...

Dre'al Thing
The incredibly talented Tina Leyk suggested we did an art swap - I send her a strip, she sends me a sketch. Boy, do I come out on top in that deal. Anyway, I sent Tina a hand drawn cartoon featuring one of her own creations, Dre'al (this is him, taken from Tina's art page on HBO)-
Tina's work is a mix of sci-fi and fantasy art, with a particular leaning towards Halo and the Alien films. So here's a colour version of the strip I made. I know Tina's very busy, but if she gets a chance to send me anything, I'll post it here. Can't wait!

Pause. Big PAUSE. Geddit?
Received an email from Josh this morning. He's making a new cartoon. Josh asked if I'd add a drawing of One One Se7en to his picture of Jim Jam the Grunt to help him promote his cartoon. Dunno what he's going to do with it - but in the meantime, I couldn't resist adding a couple of speech bubbles myself...
