Mashed Jaffa Cakes
At Bungie.net, you'll find a really short Bungie Weekly Update - Frankie is totally insane, and is lucky not to be dead right now, and he also broke all sorts of speeding limits in the last 24 hours, but we love him anyway. Go read about some general, but heartening, plans for the Halo online community in the coming months. (As always, you can read it in our Weekly Update Archive, as well.)

Know Thy Audience.
There's an interesting interview with Tyson 'Ferrex' Green over at Gamepro.com - read it for some insight into Bungie's multiplayer philosophies. Thanks, Coffin Joe. (Louis Wu 23:30:16 UTC) (permalink)
A Right Guid Willie Waught.
Today's One One Se7en is Stuntmutt's New Year's wish to you... it's sweet, in a groany sort of way. (Louis Wu 23:29:48 UTC) (permalink)
Single Segment Speedrun, Halo CE
Ducain, then NOKYARD, sent word of a new speedrun through Halo - 90 minutes, start to finish, all in one shot. (The actual downloads are broken up by level, but that's just to be reasonable, bandwidth-wise.) Swing by High Speed Halo for all the details. Congrats to slYnki for the impressive achievement!

Who cares about Halo's story?
Computer and Video Games put up an article ripping into Halo's story, and questioning the value of stories in video games in general. The article seems a bit shallow, but everyone's got their own perspective, I guess. (Louis Wu 23:29:04 UTC) (permalink)
Agent 117 - John's Bond
Lt Tuma sent word of a trailer he'd made, and posted on YouTube - audio comes (mostly) from the Casino Royale trailer, video comes from lots and lots and lots of different Halo sources. Really well put together, great choices - go watch it! (Louis Wu 23:28:44 UTC) (permalink)
First Person Perspective Warthog
Yesterday morning, RVideo posted a cool movie showing a first-person view from a Warthog; it's not true first-person, but a modified chasecam perspective that simulates a first-person view. His forum post explains what you're looking at (and the problems involved in collecting the footage). He released this in DivX 6.4 format (link is in the forum post), but if that's a problem for you, I've reencoded QuickTime (53.7 mb) and WMP9 (49.2 mb) versions that we're hosting; grab whichever one works best for you.

Friday's Fanfic
Seven new pieces for you in the Fan Fiction section this week - give 'em a once-over! (Louis Wu 23:27:42 UTC) (permalink)
The end of the Action Figures
A couple of days ago, Dielectric mentioned on our forum that Joyride had sent out a press release stating that the Heretic Grunt action figure had been cancelled... and that the Halo 2 figure collection was now finished. No more! (Louis Wu 23:27:15 UTC) (permalink)
411mania waiting for Halo 3
Friday afternoon posting spree! First up - 411mania.com posts their Top 5 Most Anticipated Games of 2007... Halo 3 comes in at number 4 on two editors' lists, number 2 on two others, and number 3 on a third pair. Not bad! (Louis Wu 23:26:43 UTC) (permalink)
More Brute Doc Stuff
There are a couple of new dissections of the Brute documentary you might find interesting - the Halo 3 Data Archive has one (thanks, Old Mattacus), and so does Rampancy.net (thanks, Narcogen). Get to reading! (Louis Wu 16:39:49 UTC) (permalink)
New Hoodie at the Bungie Store
A quick note about a new hoodie at the Bungie Store - this has been pictured before (in a Bungie Weekly Update), but has not been for sale until recently. Thanks to a few people who noticed - but Jonathan Rivas was first (a couple of days ago... I've been a bit overwhelmed for newsposting). (Louis Wu 16:32:23 UTC) (permalink)
