Bungie.net - Opening the Content Floodgates
There's a MONSTER FLOOD of content at Bungie.net - let's see if I can delineate it all before the HBO day ends:
- Black Water Ops released a 40-second machinima short showing Spartan cruelty to... pets
- Halo 3 Mythbusters is giving away 1600 points to the person who can get the highest Campaign score on Floodgate (read the full post for details)
- Bungie has posted another podcast - an hour of riffin' and joshin' and discussin' ODST, you should listen
- Ascendant Justice has pulled together an obscene amount of information on ODST, and reviewed it in the context of the new info released yesterday - those guys aren't human.
- Meet the Squad is a Bungie.net article detailing the Rookie and his squadmates - know who you're playing with before you drop!
- Brian Jarrard talked on camera to Gametrailers about Halo 3: ODST - tasty!
If you missed any of this over the course of the day (sorry, I was walking the floor of E3, and the number of unlocked wireless networks available inside South Hall is... less than one) - go check it out now! (Louis Wu 23:33:21 UTC) (permalink)

Monetizing the Rookie
Exanubisleader pointed out a couple of articles at Kotaku. The first covers new avatars that will be available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace in the future - one of them is a Halo 3: ODST character. The second shows off the first look at the Xbox 360 controller that will be bundled with Halo 3: ODST in its Limited Edition packaging this fall. Willy pointed out yet another article, also at Kotaku, which explains the $59.99 pricetag of ODST - and the $99.99 pricetag of the LE.

Great work from the time of Halo 3's release
Gonna get some news on the page for Tuesday, because I'll be travelling for most of Tuesday morning, and taking in the E3 sights during the afternoon. First up: nearly buried in the wild discussing this afternoon, Mrguy pointed out a pretty slick digital image created by Mike Thompson. Old... but gaw-juss!
