eBay Mania
Jade8704 wrote to us to point out that the large Master Chief statue selling on eBay we mentioned a few days ago has sold, for $710. The smaller one has about half an hour to go on its auction - it's currently sitting at $257.49. And the resin model is at $305, with almost 4 days left. (You can see the last two at this link.)

Rumble Pit Stats Reset - Oops...
Looks like the Rumble Pit reset a couple of days ago was a mistake... Bungie's looking into possible solutions. (There'll be more info tomorrow, it seems.) Check Frankie's note at Bungie.net for details. UPDATE: Frankie posted an update explaining that rank resets were caused by a glitch in the system, and that ranks will be "rolled back" to their December 31 levels- erasing any stats gathered since then. (Before you send angry emails to Frankie (or us), please remember that rank is not your personal worth, it's just a number on a web page for a video game.) (Louis Wu 20:57:36 UTC) (permalink)
Cutscene Library Additions
Okay, first off, a removal - I've replaced three of the four downloadable versions of the 'Ladies Like...' cutscene with a single 'delta' vid that contains just the changed content (similar to what was done for the Helljumpers scene). I've also added two new scenes - the final one from Regret, and the opening scene from Sacred Icon. Grab 'em while they're fresh! (Louis Wu 18:59:47 UTC) (permalink)
Holo Laugh.
Stuntmutt submitted a New Year's Strip recently - but someone fell down on the job and forgot to post it. We'll pretend this never happened, and you can read it as today's One One Se7en. Poor MC... (Louis Wu 16:11:39 UTC) (permalink)
What the Chuck
That Weasel writes to say that Episode 17 of 'Grunts are People Too!!' has been posted. I don't get it. :( (You can download it in QT6, WMP9, or DivX formats, though.) (Louis Wu 16:09:10 UTC) (permalink)
Skyscraper Bomb Planting
3Suns writes to point out that TalkXbox has posted Week 8 of their Halo 2 Strategy series - this one focuses on Ivory Tower Assault. (Louis Wu 15:43:57 UTC) (permalink)
