A small note of sadness
This should really be posted on the bungie.org front page, but nobody ever goes there (mostly because it hasn't been updated in years)... we allowed our 7th birthday to pass unnoticed yesterday, and what might be worse... nobody noticed. (Bungie.org opened its doors on January 6, 1999, and has been serving the Bungie community every day since then. Without you, the fans, we'd be nothing - so thanks.) Eat some cake for us!

Alternate Ending
Jon Luke noticed another Press Start to Play comic with Halo content... heh. (Louis Wu 21:53:05 UTC) (permalink)
More Halo armor for auction
Interesting. X1Zero noticed another Halo costume on eBay - but the opening bid seems awfully high to me, given the quality... (Louis Wu 21:31:00 UTC) (permalink)
Friday Night in San Francisco
Actually, it could be *any* day next week in San Francisco... I'll be in the area attending MacWorld expo. I'm renting a car and crashing at the home of a friend. But I'm also going to have my swanky projector with me, as well as Halo 1 and 2 discs, and my trusty controller and headset. Someone in the Bay Area must be willing to host a quick Halo LAN fest, right? Or if you know of a good gaming cafe, I'm open to that as well. So if you're in the area and want to meet, let me know!

Battle of the Masses - 4v4
Dyslexia has written up Part II of his Battle of the Masses piece on MLG Chicago over at mlgpro.com. This portion focuses on the 4v4 teamplay, instead of the FFA stuff. The writeup (once again) is a great read, and really puts you there - or as close to there as you can get at this point, a few weeks later. Go read! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 13:46:12 UTC) (permalink)
halowiki continues to integrate b.net content
PEZ points out some new features at halowiki.net - the Gamesaver can save stats from given games as wiki pages (useful to save that one-in-a-million game even when Bungie purges it from their servers), and you can now access recent games with a direct link (just add a slash and your gamertag to the end of that link). Nice! (Louis Wu 13:39:01 UTC) (permalink)
Halzred's Montage 5 Trailer
Z sends word of Halzred's 5th Montage Trailer over at halo2forum.com; if you're a fan of heavy editing ('heavy' = 'you can't really tell what's going on, the cuts are so fast and furious, and the effects are so thick'), go grab this one. 40 mb, just under 2 minutes. (Louis Wu 13:29:54 UTC) (permalink)
Porta... something.
Mintz points out that there's quite a bit of new content over at Halo: Portable - new articles, new movies, if you've got a PSP, go download! (Louis Wu 13:12:00 UTC) (permalink)
Pistol Replica Sold on eBay
twooranges found a Fullsize resin cast model of the M6D pistol on eBay last night - it sold via Buy it Now less than an hour after that initial post, but the pictures will be up for another couple of weeks. Gorgeous piece of work! Worth $180? Yep, clearly, to the buyer! (The forum thread here degenerated into a whinge about the Halo 2 pistol's strength, for the most part... but it looks pretty cool to me.) (Louis Wu 12:53:51 UTC) (permalink)
Sunlooking, evolved
Pinkuh posted a note on our forum with an update of a picture she'd started about a month ago. The final work is gorgeous (we've added it to her gallery here) - but there are also a few progress shots, showing how she got from the sketch to the final product. (Those are in the gallery, as well.) Pretty fun - as a non-artist, I find it fascinating to see how people work! (The forum post also contains a snippet of fan fiction that goes along with the work... she doesn't stop!) (Louis Wu 12:22:13 UTC) (permalink)
Handicaps, Music, and the Forbidden!
Frankie's WWU is now up for public consumption. Short and sweet as he says, but it does contain some very nice nuggets of info. The office gets their hands on DOA4, Max talks about the often forgotten handicap setting which helps even players out, and we get a near-final track list of Volume 2 of the Halo Soundtrack! Go Marty, go!
Of course, with the good you get the yucky. In this case, bring along a pail, because the picture of one of our favorite cananimators is likely to churn even the strongest of stomachs. OMG!
Kudos to... ME for noticing it first! (ok, I'm sure someone emailed Wu before I noticed it, but I'm posting it here first!)
Update: Eep - didn't notice Ding got here first. I'll add the local BWU Archive link to his post, and yank my own. Hehe - didn't even OCCUR to me that other staff might actually be working tonight! (Ding 00:18:27 UTC) (permalink)
