Friday Afternoon Fun
Goodies at the BungLog™ this afternoon... challenges and montages:
- The Forge Cafe, a group on Bungie.net, wants you to build a cool Sandbox Crypt map - prizes will be served.
- HaloTracks wants you to drive their Mongoose course as fast as you can - prizes will be served.
- I like pie 727 put together a community funtage from clips he found in Fileshares.
- Nightninja25 put together a montage of clips showing off some ninja backsmack skillz.
- Team Legend Zero put together a montage showing off some cool flips and tricks - good air.
There's gotta be SOMETHING in there that'll help kill those last few hours of work... (Louis Wu 19:09:19 UTC) (permalink)
Controlling Your Camera
This is probably well-known among the machinima community - but it was news to me, and pretty darned useful info, so I'm front-paging it. Bungie's JonnyOThan stopped in with some helpful tips about camera control in Halo 3's Theater. As more people use BuTube to share their clips, teaching people to make cooler movies becomes more important. Thanks, Jonny! (Louis Wu 15:51:31 UTC) (permalink)

Friday Comic Roundup
Lots of comics today, since we posted early on Wednesday:
- Reclaimer put up Episode 185 (Anesidora) on Wednesday, and Episode 186 (Bodhi) today - Indigenous Adjuvant is doing his best to let that Viper soldier know how badly he screwed up.
- Dennis Powers let us know about Shipwrecked Episode 67 (Meet the Kids) - even when you've got a big gun, don't sit still.
- The Catfish let urk know about 2501 Episode 53 (This Changes Everything).
- Elnea's been busy - Halo Action Figure Theater Episode 175 (Losing Battle) and Episode 176 (Reunion) both went up in the last couple of days - I must say, I'm not happy with where she's going. Not happy at all.
Coffee, stat - and lots of it! (Louis Wu 13:05:03 UTC) (permalink)

Bungie IT: Fueled by Fan Enthusiasm
We missed a new Breaking In article yesterday afternoon - Steve Lopez is in charge of the crew that keeps Bungie's technology humming. He's not DIRECTLY involved in making games... but without him and his crew, there'd be no games, because there'd be nothing to make them on. If you're looking to get in to work for this company... check out what he has to say! (Louis Wu 12:37:29 UTC) (permalink)
