Dang. All this water's gone to my brain. Burnie posted last night that Red vs Blue Ep 64 would be up for sponsors about 12 hours ago (and for everyone else tomorrow night) - but I spaced. So if you're a sponsor, go grab a copy. Because Andy is simply the best machinima character ever. And because Tucker is a hero. Sort of. And because Sarge does the Burt Ward thing.

GDCTV - Bungie on Networking
Very cool. Gamasutra is bringing you a streaming version of Chris Butcher and Bart House's talk about networking that they gave at the 2005 Game Developer's Conference. It's technical - well, obviously, you wouldn't give a non-technical talk at the GDC - but it's pretty fascinating stuff for folks who want to see some of the issues and decisions Bungie was dealing with when developing Halo 2. This time around, Google News Alerts beat Roger WIlco by about 5 minutes. (RW's forum post, however, is a much better place for comments.) For what it's worth - several other really interesting talks (non-Halo-related) are also available for viewing from that Gamasutra link. (Louis Wu 14:25:01 UTC) (permalink)
BSiK's montage
Z writes to point out BSiK's montage over at Halo2Forum.com. 70 mb. Snipey Snipey Sticky Sticky. (Halo and Halo 2 footage, combined.) Go watch. (Louis Wu 14:08:28 UTC) (permalink)
A rare blend of pluses
Tempus Fugit points out a really positive review for Stubbs the Zombie over at 1Up.com - they felt that the 'first non-Halo game using the Halo engine' did a great job of living up to the strengths of its predecessor. (Louis Wu 14:04:25 UTC) (permalink)
Poppin' Fresh
Well, the last 12+ hours have NOT been spent on Halo-related stuff; if you're really interested, there's a short journal entry over at RvB. That doesn't stop the news from rolling in, though. Frankie was first - no, wait, he WASN'T - in telling us about this week's Weekly Update... lots of Bungie minutiae, plus a few things that might be of interest to folks who just wanna know how this affects THEM. Things like... oh, well, the Leaderboards on Bungie.net are going away. (Yay!) Things like... a clarification of who's NOT responsible for the holdup on the Halo 2 Soundtrack, volume 2. You know. Stuff like that. Go read. More news tomorrow. (Louis Wu 05:20:25 UTC) (permalink)
