Flying Purple Death
It's Monday, so Bungie.net has another Tag and Release feature - this time, the search term was 'Banshee'. As always... great pics. (Louis Wu 22:45:43 UTC) (permalink)
Mooooovies
Couple of new vids for you today, courtesy of the Bungie Blog - another Rube Goldberg contraption on Sandtrap, and a slo-mo montage. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 22:43:21 UTC) (permalink)
PTG Podcast: Episode 1
Kevin Larrabee let us know that Part Time Gamers is back with Episode 1 (the last time we mentioned them, it was Episode 0, the Beta Test). This episode again has Kevin and Bungie's Seth Gibson discussing everything from GTA: The Lost and Damned (and some of its similarities to Halo 3: ODST) to discounted copies of Hellgate: London - and everything in between. It's almost 2 hours long, and weighs in at 46 mb. Check it out! (Louis Wu 16:01:23 UTC) (permalink)
Bigger Guns Nearby
We found out that Greg Bear had signed on to write 3 Halo novels a couple of weeks ago - but yesterday the Seattle Post-Intelligencer put up some of the backstory about how that happened. Fun read!

Halo Wars Vulture - in LEGO
T07WRX5 really liked the Vulture from Halo Wars (you can see some design shots at the Halo Wars website) - so he built one out of LEGOs. Looks like a lot of detail!

Elite GotY Bundle finally official
It's been rumored for some time, but it looks like it's finally been announced - Microsoft is offering a 'Game of the Year' edition of its Xbox 360 Elite console. You get the console, plus Halo 3 and Fable II, all for $399. Not a bad deal! (Louis Wu 13:28:25 UTC) (permalink)
The Story
Dusty Boy T (the subject of the last Aesthetic Artist Interview we posted) stopped in with word of a screenshot montage made up of his screens, and edited by RogueDarkJedi - and it tells a story. Check it out.

Monday Comic Update
Not many comics up at this point today...
- The Catfish posted 2501 Episode 42 over the weekend (thanks, urk)
- Bloogyo started the week with Rat's Nest Episode 10 (2 is up today, 1 was posted yesterday)
- TTL Demag0gue announced the posting of Reclaimer 179 - Ripple in the Stream - and it looks like Ferial is playing a different game than everyone else.
A little something while you sip your coffee... (Louis Wu 13:19:46 UTC) (permalink)
Morse code? Folks can still read that?
The first easter egg on the Mythic Maps has been discovered - and it's a pretty cool one. Swing by Hawty McBloggy's for the low-down! Looks like a fun little message was encoded (via morse code) into the blinking lights in the distance on Assembly... and Bungie.net forumgoer Sundmann decided to see if they spelled anything. They do, of course. Thanks for playing! Update: oops, forgot about the Bungie Carnage sign on Sandbox - thanks, nash--housewares. So while this isn't the first egg found on the mythic maps... it's STILL awfully cool. (Louis Wu 12:29:38 UTC) (permalink)
