Bungie Weekly Update's up - and it's a good read. Info on what's coming in the Beta (including nice descriptions of gametypes), a fun pic of Joe Staten... and a Stosh-uncovered video that should make you laugh. You can, as usual, read this in our Weekly Update Archive, if you so choose. (All resources are local, there. As usual.) (Louis Wu 23:48:18 UTC) (permalink)

Double XP Weekend: Team Throwback
If you were busy trying to see how long you could play Halo 2 yesterday, you might have missed the fact that Team Throwback was made live as the Double XP Weekend Playlist this week. It is a fantastic playlist - I was truly saddened to see it yanked from the standard rotation. You should play it a lot this weekend, because it's really, really fun.
