Inside the Bungie Offices
Mat Noguchi gave a studio tour to Scobelizer, of Channel 9 - it's pretty heavy on the geek side of Mat's job (and Halo development in general), but for those who like that stuff, it's pretty interesting. Vid is tiny, but quite watchable. Thanks to Mat, who was FIRST!!, and to Odyon, who noticed it on Scobelizer's blog. Format is streaming WMP9 (ugh). (Louis Wu 19:25:03 UTC) (permalink)
Blow Me Away - Live!
It's been in the planning stages for a long time - but it's finally here! "Blow Me Away", the charity auction to benefit hurricane victims, supplied by Bungie (and a couple of generous fans) and administered by us, is finally on! The first item is already available at eBay. Subsequent items will be added every few minutes (this will give people time to move from one to the next at the OTHER end, as auctions are closing), so be sure to keep checking back on our auction page. There's some truly droolworthy stuff in there for hardcore Bungie fans... dig deep! (Louis Wu 16:46:30 UTC) (permalink)
Marine
Theo Prins has sent along another piece of art. He calls it 'Marine'. He says it's not DIRECTLY from Halo... I'm loving the light, though. (Louis Wu 15:40:45 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Midweek News
3Suns points out a new batch of Video on Demand footage available at MLGPro.com - 1v1 footage from MLG LA. There's also a note explaining that Tekken 5 tournaments will be discontinued... and that the money remaining in the Tekken 5 pool (nearly $20,000) will be redistributed to Halo and Super Smash Brothers tourneys. Nice! (If you haven't been by in a while, give the MLG Atlanta (Halo 50k4) info page a read... it's coming at the end of November. (Louis Wu 14:53:44 UTC) (permalink)
Games, Movies, and the Links
5 months ago, the Halo movie was confirmed to be a reality, and since then, there's been a little information, a lot of speculation, and even some silliness - but one thing that we really know nothing about yet is who will be acting. Halo stands in a unique position with respect to a crossover between game acting and movie acting... how will it be remembered? I've posted some thoughts on our forum... give 'em a read, and chime in with your own! (Louis Wu 03:34:34 UTC) (permalink)
Spartan 458 - Officially
Tempus Fugit pointed out an article at TeamXbox - Tecmo and Bungie formally announced the inclusion of Spartan 458 in Dead or Alive 4. (Yeah, we've all seen screenshots... but, well... Frankie put it best in this post.) (Louis Wu 02:36:05 UTC) (permalink)
PraetoriaGuard, Episode 4 - Redux
A couple of weeks ago, PraetoriaGuard posted their fourth comedy montage - this morning, it was submitted to the Movie Peer Review Rating System. They don't need hosting... but all that's available on their site is a high-res WMP9 that weighs in at 121 mb, and a lower-res version that weighs in at 36 mb (but is SERIOUSLY over-compressed, with an odd aspect ratio). We're offering you a hi-res QuickTime, as well (640x480, 122 mb), and both a medium-res WMP9 (480x360, 52.9 mb) and a medium-res QuickTime (480x360, 55.4 mb). If you haven't seen this yet, grab a copy now; it's chock-full of funny skits, nicely filmed. (Louis Wu 02:18:14 UTC) (permalink)
