Fan Made Halo RTS, IloveBees Interview
By way of Evil Avatar, news of a Command and Conquer Generals mod to be set in the Halo universe. Entitled Halogen, the fan-made RTS appears to have much of the preliminary work completed already. Relatedly, TotalVideoGames is carrying an interview with ILoveBees actress Kristen Rutherford. She discusses her role as the schizoid AI in the Halo-Universe Alternate Reality Game. From the interview: "The characters in l love bees are all characters within the Haloverse. Melissa was the A.I. of the ship Apocalypso in the same way that Cortana was the A.I. for the Pillar of Autumn."
you hear loveline too?
Was wondering what Microsoft thinks of such Halo-ish projects? Do they care? Can they whomp you for it?
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
.. because it would be overloaded and because she's gorgeous and would send many of you into your own personal overload.
She claimed in phone chat at the end of ilovebees that she has Halo 2 and a Live account. If she's smart, though, she'll keep her gamertag a very closely guarded secret or else she'll be inundated with friend requests and probably have to deal with a lot of inappropriate online behavior.
If you're reading this, thanks for the interview, Kristen, and thanks for your role in ILB.
Don't blame me, I voted for Durga.
Here's a pic of Ms. Rutherford braving the slightly chilly temperatures of a photo shoot.

So now will people who've never played games before think that Halo is the first RTS, too?
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur.
Yikes. Nothing like welcoming in the new guy. Why would getting FP on a front page story be "worth" anything more than a silly joke under an insignificant headline? It was a *joke*, you anonymous coward. Lighten up, and lay off the childish, un-called for comments.
Oh yeah, and Kristen Rutherford is hot.
I find it kind of interesting because Halo started life out as a strategy game instead of a FPS. There's a video floating around somewhere (if somebody has a link, please post, I'd like to see it again), of Bungie employees commenting on video of earlier Halo concepts.
"Our opponent is an alien starship packed with atomic bombs. We have a protractor."
Anyway, fuck you. It was a lame FP, even if you call it a joke. Only dumbasses try to call FP on a section specific story and thus, you are a dumbass. By the way, you had sex with Osama bin Laden and your girlfriend's anus can take two baseball bats simultaneously.
Hey, Thanks mentioning my mod I appreciate it. In regards to the website, I'll admit our site isn't the prettiest but I've never had any complaints about readability, I am open to suggestions. A new Flash website is under construction now and is set to debut in mid-Febuary.
Thanks again.

If readability is an issue, Flash is the completely wrong way to address it!
Why are we reporting a mod that isn't even near being out? It's just a mod for goodness sakes. It's not a cure for cancer next week. Couldn't we wait till it had a playable beta version?
No actually flash can make good websites. Check out this one

Someone claiming "first post" on any subject or topic, without adding anything to the value of the discussion, is just a long-running joke within slashdot. Whether it's done on some major front-page story, or on some lame game news, it's insignificant. Why don't you just grow up, and stop shooting your mouth off to people you don't even know. You're just a coward hiding behind anonymity; if you treat people in real life the way you talk to people here, you're going to end up one sad, lonely person.
