Be undead

The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

HALO Uprising comic hits next week

If you like to support a local comic shop in Huntsville, I recommend Haven Comics on Slaughter Rd just off University. I know the owner and he's reserved a few posters in case some of THX wants them. More pics from the comic after the jump.

HALO3.com/comic: Africa - 100,000 years ago. The Cradle of Life. Leads up to IP address and a countdown.

Whoa cool. We are finally lead to another website via clues on HALO3.com. And the new site (an IP address) looks like it IS owned by Microsoft. Supposedly, Circuit City will reveal the URL in an ad this weekend.

Going to http://halo3.com/comic reveals a Flash version of the comic below. The comic is actually interactive in that you can click on some parts of the last comic screen. When you click on that screen, some of the etchings become more clear - revealing numbers. Putting those numbers together leads you to an IP address with a countdown.

h3-comic-1

h3-comic-2

h3-comic-3

h3-comic-4

With numbers revealed:

h3-comic-4-ip

Click on the last comic for a while and you'll see the new numbers. Note that the Flash comic strip slides left and right. The numbers probably mean this IP address:

http://206.16.223.65/

That IP address leads to a background image and a Flash countdown.

The Flash:

Text from the webpage:

MessagePart1: Iris Initiated - Vio Transmit + 3 588 000       Searching Re-route...... /confirmed/

MessagePart2: System Bypass In Progress. - Realignment Proceeding

Notice that the clock does not have the digits 7, 8, or 9. Each unit on the clock counts down from 6. Odd. Anyone able to do the math to figure out when this timer hits zero?

Anyone able to make anything of the comic?

What does it say about Humans, Forerunners, and even the Arc?

Anyone finding any more clues?
