That's one for every ten McDonald hamburgers.
The latest Top Story at Bungie.net is a recounting of an impressive feat - the total Campaign Kill Count from Bungie fans has exceeded ten billion. More... it took only 565 days. Read the article for more details. (Louis Wu 20:20:17 UTC) (permalink)
Goodies collected at Bungie.net
Some cool stuff from the Bungie Blog today:
- HaloTracks is hosting an interesting challenge: see what you can build with a limited supply of materials. Go try your hand!
- americanista123 continues his coverage of Bungie Bloopers - he's whipped up a new montage using clips from Bungie employees' fileshares.
- The latest Tag and Release feature focuses on the term 'Scorpion' - and there are some impressive shots! Check 'em out.
Thanks, urk! (Louis Wu 20:13:19 UTC) (permalink)
Monday Comic Update
I'm far from home, so updates are a little harder - Monday's comic update is a bit later than usual.
- Dilly discovered a comic from Patrick Alexander with Halo content. (Beware of the rest of the stuff on that site, if you're at work.)
- anthraxgoon told us about X36 Chapter 2 Issue 10 - PDF download for your convenience.
- The Catfish told the Bungie Blog about 2501 Episode 39 - Intrusion.
- TTL Demag0gue stopped in with word of Reclaimer 176 - Micro Dyson. More is now known about the Cavalcada and their capabilities.
Enjoy! (Louis Wu 19:49:14 UTC) (permalink)
Once Upon A Time...
I enjoyed a pair of picture-filled retellings of epic battles this evening - I appreciated them both, though I must say the Avalanche piece was more satisfying. Hawaiian Pig told the story of a flag battle on Facing Worlds, and reminded us that for every winner, there's a loser. And GhaleonEB created a chronicle of success and failure that has a distinct Watchmen-like feel to the images - the final one is particularly poignant. Go read 'em both.

VGL at E3 - pre-sale tickets up now
Video Games Live will be playing an extra concert in Los Angeles during E3 this year... and special pre-sale tickets are available right now. (Use the word 'HALO' in the 'Promotions and Special Offers' box in order to activate the pre-sale.) Hear lots of great video game music (including a significant Halo segment) at the Greek Theater on June 4! (Louis Wu 06:52:37 UTC) (permalink)
The last thing I see at night...
Doom3killer drew and handpainted a mural of Master Chief on his wall. Way to go! (Louis Wu 06:50:55 UTC) (permalink)
Clearing the Stench of Defeat - erm, Deceit
A couple of days ago, we mentioned the Bungie writeup of a matchup between Bungie and Joystiq - it's only fair to show you the Joystiq writeup of the same event. Condolences go out to Dustin "SuperDunner" Burg, who is apparently still without Recon. (Louis Wu 06:45:28 UTC) (permalink)
Behind the Montage
Z sent us on a nostalgic journey - he pointed out a thread on Halo3Forum.com of videos he's never hosted, and specifically a 'behind the scenes' vid made by OscarMayerNinja and SnapTactics back in 2005, just after the release of 'Ninja Tactics', a Halo 2 montage they'd made. It's a fun film, showing their hijinx at Orlando's City Walk one night, and it might just make you want to go back and play Halo 2 a bit. It's called "OscarMayerNinja's Behind the Montage", and download and streaming links are near the top of the first post. Give it a shot. (Louis Wu 06:41:25 UTC) (permalink)
New Job Listing Intrigues
This news made the rounds of the big gaming sites, but I saw it first at Joystiq. They'd run across a job posting at CareerBuilder.com that looked for people to "blend console, web, and mobile to create an immersive Halo world that follows the dedicated Halo fan wherever they go. We need engineers that can build connected technology while working in a startup environment." Mobile? (Louis Wu 06:39:48 UTC) (permalink)
Devotion
I The Slushy I sent word that he'd created a new screenshot montage - nice effects, great shots. Swing by YouTube to watch it. (You should watch it in HQ - the standard version has different music.) It's sort of a 'love' montage, in honor of Easter. (Louis Wu 06:38:01 UTC) (permalink)
