Saturation City

Halo Goodies Bring in Kudos
Customers Rock!, a website devoted to pointing out customer service and its results, has issued its Top 3 Customer Rock Stars for 2008... and Bungie pulls in the number one spot for their handling of Ragingterror's 'wiped' Xbox. Tell us something we didn't know, Customers Rock! (Just kidding - that's pretty cool.) Thanks to Hawty McBloggy for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 21:44:53 UTC) (permalink)
Free-wheeling at Weta
Schedonnardus let us know about a short clip on the Xbox LIVE Dashboard, viewable by visiting the 'Spotlight' section. For those without access to that particular fount of goodness, we've put up 720p versions for download - both QuickTime (90 mb) and WMP9 (106 mb) formats. It's under 3 minutes, and consists of stock footage interspersed with an interview by an OXM reporter of a Weta employee, discussing how the hog differs from the in-game model... along with some driving practice. Fun!

BamBam.
Bored? Feel like playing with Bungie.net's tagging system to find cool FileShare content? The latest example of urk's tutorial series shows off some pretty sweet hammer pics. (Louis Wu 20:56:15 UTC) (permalink)
Equipment Emporium
Another fun highlight - Rast07's Equipment Emporium, where you can buy anything you need to augment your battle fun, at discounted prices!

Real7alk Podcast #6 Now Online
Bungie's blog pointed out Real7alk's Podcast #6 - a farewell to a site founder, and interview with a montage master, and a discussion with the moderators of halotech.org - 92 mb, 110 minutes. Go listen. (urk warns that you might need a bathroom break. Or something.) (Louis Wu 20:49:20 UTC) (permalink)
I thought he was immune...
Over at HaloGAF, Kibbles pointed out a pretty interesting YouTube vid... I'd love to know how this happened. (Minor spoilers, I suppose, for those who haven't played Halo or Halo 2.) (Louis Wu 20:31:20 UTC) (permalink)
Operation: Master Chief
ManKitten is working on an assault rifle - he's even started up a facebook profile to keep track of progress. Check out his forum post for a link, and a pic of the progress so far. (Louis Wu 16:26:58 UTC) (permalink)
Candlestick
It's Monday - so TTL Demag0gue tells us about Reclaimer 132 - wherein Ferial gets a surprise.

Hawty McBloggy ran across a video which gives you a nice (hmm... maybe the wrong word) snapshot of Halo 3 voice chat on Xbox LIVE - people are pretty random, aren't they? (Louis Wu 13:23:45 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 is top LIVE game of 2008
Yesterday, Major Nelson released a list of the Top 20 LIVE Games of 2008, based on unique users... and Halo 3 came out on top of the pack. Impressive feat, given the competition! Thanks to many - first seems to have been LostSpartan987.

Friday's Fanfic (a little late)
Apologies - the normal Fan Fiction update for Friday never made it out; life here's been a little topsy-turvy. It's up now, though - four new stories for you to read. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 13:22:32 UTC) (permalink)
Friction
deadly alive stopped in with word of 'Friction', a machinima about a soldier who discovers that not all is as he thought. It's pretty long - almost 26 minutes, in two parts - but it's well-done, and has a few twists to keep you interested. Swing by the post for download or streaming links!
