Weekly Update With Love
Bungie's back with the newest Weekly Update. There's a bit of Bungie Day clarification, some nice details on the June matchmaking update, and a Blame Stosh you'll get an absolute kick out of. Why aren't you reading it yet? Do it! (It's in our Weekly Update Archive, too. Shh! Don't tell Grim. -lwu) (GrimBrother One 21:56:33 UTC) (permalink)
Fails of the Weak, Volume 37
GHOSTKILL let us know about Fails of the Weak, Volume 37 - Jack and Geoff laugh at silliness on LIVE. Play good, or they'll show the world that you're not playing good. (Louis Wu 20:11:09 UTC) (permalink)
Number 8 With a Bullet
In 2008, Bungie made the 'Develop 100' - a list, put together by Develop Magazine, of the top 100 most successful game studios in the world (as measured by sales the previous year in the UK). They were #8, presumably based in large part on the sales of Halo 3. By 2010, they'd dropped to #16 - but it looks like they're back up to #8 on the 2011 list (which is now calculated based on Metacritic score, rather than UK sales data). Thanks to GhaleonEB for pointing this out on GAF. (Louis Wu 16:00:17 UTC) (permalink)
'Halo: CE' action figures to debut at E3
NeoGAF's wwm0nkey pointed out a new Play Arts Halo action figure line from Square Enix. The two new figures shown are from "Halo: CE" and will debut at this year's E3. The figures are envisioned by Square Enix, which might account for the discernible changes in the Mark V armor. How intriguing. Update: Frankie stopped by to elaborate on the action figures. According to him, the figures pull in design elements from every variant of the Chief to create unique, Japanese-flavored celebration items for the 10th anniversary. Update 2: The lovely bs angel just informed me that Halo Waypoint has photos and the official press release for the new line. (Hitmonchan 15:15:45 UTC) (permalink)
Roshambo, baybee
pete_the_duck's back with another funky gametype - you can actually play Rock Paper Scissors (Stone Paper Scissors for the Brits among you) in Halo: Reach! The creativity of Halo fans... it amazes me sometimes. (Louis Wu 14:15:36 UTC) (permalink)
Subject: Fire Team Zulu: Buck the Trend
FyreWulff has another entry in the Normalcy Week collection of FTZ Challenges - you're fighting through Kikowani Station, Tilt is on, and you're not allowed to kill Engineers. Thank goodness Normal Difficulty is allowed! Go give it a shot.
