Is it me you're looking for?
DrPeggs pointed out a collection of jokes told using Halo action figures - entertaining stuff. Take a look! (Louis Wu 19:41:57 UTC) (permalink)
Why Doesn't This Happen?
One One Se7en asks a question that's puzzled me since I first started playing Halo... (Louis Wu 16:24:31 UTC) (permalink)
Sorry For The Down Time
Man... it's getting worse and worse. Halo: Resolution points out some nasty injuries I seem to have sustained a couple of weeks ago. Sounds painful... (Louis Wu 16:03:50 UTC) (permalink)
RvB in the Toronto Star
Very cool - The Toronto Star has put Red vs Blue on their front page (following the lead of the Wall Street Journal, recently). It's also on their website, right now. It's a pretty nicely written article, even. (Would have been nice if they'd gotten Jason Saldana's last name right, but...) Give it a read! Thanks to Geemaan for the heads-up.

Achronos, too.
broony points out that not only did SketchFactor talk to Xbox.com... Tom Gioconda, aka Achronos, did, too. He discusses the growth of the team, the advantages of the new site over the old, and talks a little about how the site will be used in the future. He can't get into details... but it's clear that Bungie is looking forward to taking advantage to their access to backend data:
For now, let's just say that Bungie.net will be an integral part of the Halo 2 Xbox Live experience and leave at that.
If you're a Bungie fan, and you don't yet have a B.net account... what are you waiting for? Update: Wouldn't you know it? My timing is impeccable. A couple of days ago, Frankie pointed out that Xbox.com would be down for a 24 hour period, beginning at 6 am PST today, to get new features for Xbox Live. That was... 38 minutes before this note was originally posted. (They were a bit late; it went down less than a minute after I posted.) Apologies - you'll have to wait until tomorrow to read this (and the interview with Sketch, as well). Thanks to Ross Mills for reminding me. (Louis Wu 13:28:40 UTC) (permalink)
SketchFactor talks to Xbox.com
Nice find by gd - Xbox.com has interviewed Brian Jarrard (aka SketchFactor) about the new Bungie.net. Brian discusses where he thinks the community is going, and how Bungie can help it get there. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 01:25:35 UTC) (permalink)
