MS Acquisition FAQ now archived here
Thanks to Eric Jury, who pointed out that the Wayback Machine had an archive of the Acquisition FAQ we mentioned yesterday. I'd checked there... but only on earlier dates (closer to the time of the actual reporting). My mistake. To ensure that it doesn't get lost again (and so that URLs listed can be made to work again), we've archived a copy locally. It's Bungie History, after all. Interestingly enough... the information about Take 2's rights to the Halo engine aren't mentioned. I'm not sure exactly WHERE that information was originally published.

Overdue pics...
A week and a half ago, Warbow posted a few very nice shots of the limited-edition Master Chief action figure given away at the fanfest. For some unknown reason, I neglected to ever mention this to the wider front-page audience. Consider it mentioned. (Louis Wu 15:26:50 UTC) (permalink)
Are You Big Enough?
Blackstar is setting up a lanfest in Andover, MA this summer - on a massive, massive screen. (See this forum post for some details.) Attendance is pretty limited... but you can (at the very least) watch the new promo vid for the event. Just under a minute long, 9.1 mb, QuickTime format. I think I saw footage of me dying in there... The Matrix flavor is great, and the vid's got me pumped up for the day! Update: we seem to be significantly slowing down blackstarproductions.net, so we've tossed a copy of this vid up at Mythica.org. Grab whichever copy works faster for you!

Westlake says no OS9 Halo
Recently, Westlake updated its Project Status page; The OS 9 status for Halo Mac went from 'Undecided' to 'No'. The Mac version of Halo, then, will be OSX only. Thanks to mnemesis for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 12:12:22 UTC) (permalink)
POA Update - Snail mail sux :(
I'd like to apologize for the holdup in announcing the winners in the recently concluded Pillar of Art contest. An unfortunate set of circumstances: real-life work pressures, judge schedules, and most importantly, awaiting a return package from Bungie of some of the pieces we had the extreme pleasure of showing at the recent E3 Bungie Fanfest... these all conspired to postpone the judgement. :(
If you were one of the lucky ones and got your piece on display at the Fanfest, you should feel good about yourself because alot of folks at the 'fest were drooling at the paintings!
Within the next week or so, a truck should pull up at my doorstep with the handful of pieces that were shown in LA and things should be back on track. Although I can't comment on the individual pieces, I will say this: Some of you folks are absolutely outstanding artists. And your love of the game showed through and through. Louis Wu can attest that a few of the entries literally made my jaw drop. :)

Now THIS is a typo no journalist should make. Thanks to HUNTR-KILLR for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 01:55:31 UTC) (permalink)
