Brokeback Time
Yesterday's Top Ten Halo 3 Screenshots collection is called 'Brokeback Time', and there are some AMAZING screenshots in there. I think 'Fractured' and 'Demoralized' are my two favorites - but there's really not a bad shot in the group. Go look. (Louis Wu 21:48:16 UTC) (permalink)

MadAtoms: Video Game Speed Dating
There aren't a lot of comics being updated regularly any more, so fixed-day updates make less sense. GandhiArnold stopped in with a link to MadAtoms, a humor blog. Video Game Speed Dating takes a funny look at various video game characters, and the trials they might have to endure. Master Chief is present. (Louis Wu 21:33:07 UTC) (permalink)
The Port that Wouldn't Die
Man, oh man... you write something down and put it on the internet, SOMEONE's gonna find it. Matt Waggle is a 3D and Concept Artist that's been working in the game industry for about 5 years. For the first half of 2007, he was working as a contractor on Halo 3. If you check his resume, you'll see that he's listed this time as "Halo 3 (X-box 360 and PC)" - which led Game Guru (who found the same info on Matt's LinkedIn profile) to conclude that Halo 3 PC was in development as late as May 2007. What happened to it? Well, there hasn't been any word - but other than this snippet, the only evidence that it existed at all has been a banner that appeared on some Microsoft pages showing a picture of Halo 3 in a 'Games for Windows' context. In fact, in August 2007, CVG concluded that work hadn't started yet, since Frank O'Connor had said that Halo 3 PC wasn't even "a twinkle in [Bungie's] eye" during an interview at that point. Hmm... Update: Frankie is pretty unequivocal about the status of Halo 3 PC:
Halo 3 was not then, and is not currently planned for PC.
In the words of Emily Litella, never mind. (Louis Wu 17:12:46 UTC) (permalink)
In other news, water is wet.
Halo: Reach made Gamespot's "Most Anticipated Games of 2010" - whoa, what a surprise. Thanks, thatSeniorGuy. (Louis Wu 17:10:34 UTC) (permalink)
A followup on the BWU...
What does it mean when you feel the need to update your dev blog with a line like "steve cotton is working on one of the craziest things ever in a halo game." (and absolutely nothing else)? I guess it means Steve's doing something droolworthy! (Louis Wu 17:09:51 UTC) (permalink)
For the record, she LOVES his air viola move.
Bungie's Weekly Update is live - lots of little Reach tidbits (most of which don't actually SAY anything, but all of them will get you titillated), details about the Emblem contest, podcast woes, and voicework of the stars. And a sad farewell to BeserkerBarage. Go read! (It is, as always, also available in our Weekly Update Archive.) (Louis Wu 01:11:59 UTC) (permalink)
