Backstory... revealed obliquely?
Interesting find by Anton P. Nym: If you visit the Library, one of Bungie.net's new forums, the splash bar at the top has a pretty interesting secondary definition for the word itself:
2. A collection of cloned DNA sequences whose location and identity can be established by mapping the genome of a particular organism.
So is THAT what level 7 is all about? Hmm... (Louis Wu 20:18:10 UTC) (permalink)
Site troubles
Apologies - once again, we're having trouble with one of our mirror sites; everything it handled has been redirected at this point, EXCEPT the Fan Fiction section (because of its dynamic nature, it CAN'T be mirrored properly). That section is offline until we can fix the problem. Sorry. Update: Fixed, more easily than expected. All sections (including Fanfic) are back online. Thanks, 3! (Louis Wu 14:41:09 UTC) (permalink)
I didn't know they could talk...
Rockslider points out the next episode in Frontline with Suzie - this week's episode is called 'the heavy brigade', and talks to a Hunter. (Louis Wu 14:28:32 UTC) (permalink)
Advanced Demand
Dr. Nick points out that even though the actual movies are being hosted elsewhere, the Advanced Essentials movie brought enough traffic to the [-GTC-] website that it's offline again. I wasn't smart enough to record all the mirrors, but I can at least point out the b.org ones: we're hosting both the DivX version and the QuickTime version. Read the original news post for more info on the vid itself. (Louis Wu 02:55:35 UTC) (permalink)
New Mombasa gets a shot
Out of time and out of options, it seems, Frankie has posted this week's Bungie Weekly Update over at Bungie.net, on the new 'New Mombasa' forum. It's not particularly meaty this week - but Frankie has lots of excuses for that. There IS some discussion of new maps, a new (previously unmentioned) weapon, and some fun stuff about dialog. Go read! (Louis Wu 02:49:52 UTC) (permalink)
Bacon-Flavored Marshmallows
Red vs Blue has Episode 34 - 'aftermath, before biology' - up for sponsors. (The general public will have to wait a couple of days.) It's 4:27 of RvB goodness, with a great combination of humor and plot advancement. And the - oh, go watch it. (Louis Wu 00:11:19 UTC) (permalink)
Frankie Meets The Matrix
So Bungie's got a new toy - they can make 3D screenshots! And the first one is a pretty slick piece of work. It's called "Army of One", and it's available in both high (8.4 mb) and low (1.3 mb) res versions. Grab it (make sure you have QuickTime installed), and go to town rotating around the sword-wielding elite, checking out ALL the action! Farsight was the first to stumble on the story, before it made it onto b.net's front page. (Louis Wu 00:01:35 UTC) (permalink)
