E3 Fanfest Details
I hate to yank the thunder away from Bungie.net... but it looks like Gamespot already did that, so I figure it's okay to pass on some extra details about the upcoming Fan Fest in LA. First off: it's not attached to E3 - you can go even if you're not eligible to get in to E3. It's taking place on Thursday, May 15, from 7 - 11pm. Registration will open soon - attendance will be limited to the first 200 who sign up. (Please don't sign up unless you can go; you'll only be blocking others from getting in.) Highlights will include Halo PC multiplay, a Halo 2 movie theatre experience, the chance to talk to the Bungie team, and a trivia contest (which will be playable online, as well). Keep your eyes on Bungie.net for full details, including how to sign up. And don't forget - if your movie is good enough, even the airfare and hotel is free! (Louis Wu 20:37:54 UTC) (permalink)
America's Biggest Halo Fan - is it you?
According to Gamespot, Microsoft Game Studios is looking for America's Biggest Halo Fan - the winner to be sent on an all-expenses paid trip to LA for the Bungie Fan Fest to be held during E3. To enter, you need to submit 'an original and creative video that clearly demonstrates why [you] believe yourself to be the biggest fan of the game in America by April 21.' Details will certainly be forthcoming at Bungie.net soon, though they're not up yet. Wow - a chance to go to LA, play PC Halo, get a look at Halo 2... and on and on. You've got less than three weeks - get cracking! (Thanks to PanZer for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 20:18:49 UTC) (permalink)
So what're we gonna get? Huh? Huh?
Interesting speculation from Cybrfrk. Webcam shots show large numbers of people in the Bungie office last night past 8pm (local time). Levi (with some help from Djoey154) notices that someone is filming something in the offices. Matt Soell points out that one of the guys in the pictures is from the Official Xbox Magazine. We know that OXM is planning to have some pretty serious Halo 2 coverage next month. Cybrfrk wonders... does that coverage include some video footage for the cover DVD?

Halo Story News... for real.
Oops... careless. mnemesis updated the Halo Story Page today, with a non-fake look at Halo: The Flood - stop by for some enlightenment. (Spoilers, of course, are rampant throughout.) There's also an intriguing note about a mysterious character... (Louis Wu 19:39:40 UTC) (permalink)
Was it or wasn't it?
April Fool's pranks (those we can talk about) are outlined in this postmortem. Don't read it if you feel knowing for sure would spoil the magic. (Louis Wu 15:55:45 UTC) (permalink)
Yanked.
GURPS Halo material has been removed from Bungie Sightings. Details can be found here. (Louis Wu 15:00:22 UTC) (permalink)
Good night, now it's time to go home...
Okay, okay. It's April 2 (UTC), and the jokes are done. I'm a bit too bushed to write up a full postmortem - tomorrow morning, maybe. Thanks to all who made today as fun as it was... and apologies to anyone who was offended by any of the trickstering. No more till next year - promise! (Louis Wu 02:45:10 UTC) (permalink)
