Bungie Blog Highlights for Tuesday
Stuff you might be interested in, over at the BungLog™:
- Pup and Friends captured some Grifball highlights during a recent Double XP Weekend
- Gamers Outreach is hosting a Summer LAN event in July - details are here, including dates/times/benefit specifics
- jmh9072 likes him some Halo, and some coding - swing by his Average Joe interview for more details
- CMNeir created 'Tweet Your Twitter' - I gotta say, if this ever happens to me in Matchmaking, I'm gonna be guilty of some serious betraying
That should keep you busy for a bit... (Louis Wu 21:20:05 UTC) (permalink)
Forging Gophers - Time's Running Out
DE4TH DEAL3R would like to remind you that you've got just five days left for The Halo Gophers' Forge contest - get your submissions in if you're interested in winning!

Play Badly, Win Stuff
SBG Gaming is hosting a Failtacular Failapalooza Showcase - screenshots and videos showing off spectacular bad judgement can win goodies like Xbox LIVE subscriptions and MS points (and some silly games). You need to be a member of their community - but you can certainly sign up now.

Community Playdate: Red vs Blue
Another Halo-related Community Playdate over on Xbox.com - the crew from Rooster Teeth will be playing Halo Wars with folks who've purchased the latest HW DLC. Details can be found in the Playdate announcement. Thanks, JeSteR 343. (Louis Wu 14:49:39 UTC) (permalink)
Halo is loved - more than once
The BBC Radio 1 Big Games Weekend has picked its top games (we mentioned the vote on Saturday)... Halo 3 made 8th on the list, while Halo: Combat Evolved made 25th (and 39th, oddly), and Halo 2 didn't make the top 50. (Louis Wu 14:48:53 UTC) (permalink)
Play Halo, Win a Chance at MS Points
KP mentioned a new Play & Win Sweepstakes on Xbox.com last week - but I'm pretty sure the page wasn't live until this weekend. It's a promotion of the new Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 movie (can Washington and Travolta outdo Matthau and Shaw?), and if you register before May 31 (and play a multiplayer session of Halo 3 between May 29 and May 31), you're entered to win a boatload of Microsoft points. Swing by for full details!

CE United - still open, awarding prizes
Willy stopped by to announce that a winner has been picked in the one-year-anniversary contest for CE United (mentioned here)... and also that CE United will not be shutting its doors. Nice! (Louis Wu 14:47:56 UTC) (permalink)
Happy Birthday, Rampancy.net!
Narcogen points out that R.net has passed its 10-year anniversary at this point... it seems amazing that Halo's been in our lives for so much time!

Let's-a-Go!
Hawty McBloggy found a Mario Cart/Halo mashup on YouTube (with an accompanying downloadable map on Bungie.net) - I'd have to agree with her general assessment: great job with the combining of games, too long. Give it a look-see, though - it's a lot of fun.
Update: wow... apparently that was just Part 2. Part 1 (another 10 minutes) is here. Thanks, Kibbles. (Louis Wu 14:46:55 UTC) (permalink)
Hard Justice S2: Episode 5
The latest episode of DigitalPh33r's Hard Justice is now live on YouTube - looks like Bernard's in trouble... and Max is still in Canada. Nearly 12 minutes long. Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 14:46:31 UTC) (permalink)
Tag and Release - Fun
Even though yesterday was a holiday, Bungie posted a new Tag and Release feature, showing off screenshots using the tag 'fun'. I'm not sure that term is properly used in all cases - but it can't be denied that the shots are well-composed!
