Foundry Sketchpad
Ooh, cool. Bungie's posted a Foundry Sketchpad - a PDF of the level, with some blocks for scale. You can sketch out your ideas while you're at work/school, so as not to waste your non-Forging time. Heh. Thanks, Avateur. (Louis Wu 22:21:13 UTC) (permalink)
Cha-ching!
Man, that O'Donnell guy sure can talk! If you didn't get enough Marty in the Dolbycast we mentioned earlier, swing by Bungie.net for their newest podcast, in which Marty spends over an hour discussing how Bungie would have collapsed if not for his brilliance. (No, not really. He's a pretty modest guy. His biggest fault is that he's old.) Thanks, Don. (Louis Wu 21:03:05 UTC) (permalink)
The Sonic World of Halo
Dolbycast, a podcast focused on home theater topics, has interviewed Marty O'Donnell - and it's a pretty fascinating talk. Why Bungie does what they do, surround sound and its effect on your enjoyment of entertainment, who makes him coffee... there's lots of good stuff in there. Just under 10 minutes long, it's streamable, or downloadable in MP3 or AAC formats. Digg it if you love it! (If you're reading this later than we've posted it, look for the December 6 episode.)

Vile trespassers!
Captain Spark sent along another few dozen dialogue snippets - this time Brutes and Grunts. Go listen in our Dialogue Databank! (These are also available from his newly-retooled website.) (Louis Wu 15:26:43 UTC) (permalink)
They wanna do donuts.
GameSpy nominated Halo 3 for Game of the Year - and in an effort to learn a bit more about it, interviewed Frank O'Connor about how Bungie thinks the release has been received. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 14:54:19 UTC) (permalink)
Meet the Machine
TTL Demag0gue has posted Wednesday's Reclaimer comic - Chapter Two, Part Nine shows that the Viper team is in real trouble. (Louis Wu 14:44:06 UTC) (permalink)
Halo and Halo 2 - top PC games
Red_Breast was the first to notice that Nielson has released their annual collection of Top 10s for the US; fourth place on the PC Titles list is a tie - between Halo and Halo 2. Red_Breast linked to a PDF for the lists, but you can read them online at PR Newswire. (Video Games are in the last section.) (Louis Wu 14:41:57 UTC) (permalink)
Unleashing your pent-up Forger
The news of the morning has got to be Foundry - it is amazing how many different things people have done with this map, and it's only been out for a day. Yesterday, we mentioned a reconstruction of Midship. Mattus made one too. And Masterchief2829 rebuilt Foundation. profhalo worked on Prisoner. LX925 got OUTSIDE Foundry, and found some interesting scenery. Trunks recreated Mario Kart 64's Block Fort. RVideo pointed out a film of a match of Halo 3 Soccer. The Mean and Lekku both released versions of Wizard/Warlock, within seconds of each other. (The Mean says Lekku's is better.) DHalo put together a racetrack... as did Hawaiian Pig. (Pig's is WAAY more violent. Well, with a name like 'DEATHCross', are you surprised?) And again - this is just one day, and one forum. This is happening all over the internet! Go explore. Update: There's no way we can keep up with ALL the new constructs... but SS_Zag1 created a pretty cool-looking Turf rebuild. Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:34:48 UTC) (permalink)
