I want victory to become a habit.
RibsMaster dropped off another 20 dialogue snippets for our Dialogue Databank. That Johnson character... he can be rude. (Louis Wu 19:44:27 UTC) (permalink)
We finally got a piece of the pie...
Looks like Microsoft is moving the Bungie team from their digs in the Redmond Millenium campus into the Kirkland Hardware Store, in Kirkland, WA (a few miles away). Apparently, they're growing out of their existing space, and this is a way to keep them together as a team. (Of course, it separates them from the REST of the MS-based game developers... but hey, nobody liked those guys anyway.) The move should take place later this year, once renovations on the Kirkland property are complete. Thanks, orion 12. (Louis Wu 19:13:57 UTC) (permalink)
The Incredible, Audible Egg
A couple of months ago, in response to some overenthusiastic 'win at all costs' techniques used to pull easter eggs out of Halo 2, Marty O'Donnell posted a note on our forum talking about the mystique behind eggs, and why you shouldn't try to 'brute-force' them. To soften the reprimand, he tossed out a couple of teasers - hints to eggs that hadn't been found. One of those teasers fell to egghunters just a couple of weeks later - but the other one stood until today. (Well... it's possible that it's STILL standing; Phatcorns post isn't fully clear, and even his later explanation shows that the triggers for this bit aren't known yet.) Regardless... it's always cool when an easter egg comes to light. (This post isn't being marked as 'spoiler' material, because in order to be spoiled, you have to actually follow those links. Use your willpower if you don't want that.) (Louis Wu 18:17:46 UTC) (permalink)

Halo Blogging
More blog action around the Haloverse:
- nof is unhappy with matchmaking. (He also had something to say recently about the state of Halo moviemaking.)
- Saint[lpn] rants about the DLC issue, and various forms of government, over at Sanction Three.
- Narcogen puts forward his own thoughts on Halo moviemaking (this one's a monster read, and brings up a number of good points).
I'm loving the whole Halo blog idea; it gives people a chance to speculate on topics that might not be appropriate for forums, or might get lost too quickly in a more fluid environment. Go read - and think! (Louis Wu 15:29:14 UTC) (permalink)
