Bungie.net Insanity - a Road Map
So Grim pointed out the beginning of the B.net festivities... but they're coming so fast and furious that without a roadmap, you might get lost.
- He's already linked to the Rooster-Teeth-created trailer explaining how anyone with a Bungie.net profile can unlock blue flames for their in-game armor - but if you didn't watch it, you should.
- You've been able to unlock those flames for almost a week, if you have an iOS device... but now you can do it right from the Bungie.net front page.
- The Bungie Store has been restocked in honor of the celebration - there are limited-run (VERY limited-run) prints of some really cool artwork and shirts, but the big draw will be the Bag O' Swag. The first batch of 500 is already sold out - but there may be more coming. The contents will vary from bag to bag (and you won't know what's in ANY of them unless you or a friend buys one). They run $30... but what's inside might be worth much, much more. Keep an eye on the page to make sure you don't miss another chance!
- The Bungie vs the World Steaktacular has been written up - swing by to see how you can get a chance to have Bungie mail you steak. Real steak.
- Some super-cool auctions are running on eBay right now - all proceeds will go to Child's Play, and you'll end up with some amazing concept art, framed and placarded. So far there are 12 items up - some have bids, some don't, all end in a week. Check out the artwork - Master Chief Helmet, Covenant Bus, Jackals, Covenant Shadow, Space Elevator, Pillar of Autumn, Quarantine Zone, In Amber Clad, Pillar of Autumn, and an original Penny Arcade "Jim Bean" comic strip. Also, check out the holdable goodies: an original Weta UNSC Battle Rifle and some Weta Upper-Body armor (I can't find a link for this yet). Amazing collection of stuff!
- Check out this link for the Bungie Foundation to learn more about the iPads for Kids program.
Burn Bright, Burn Blue
Announcements like these are almost bittersweet, but with the emphasis certainly more on the "sweet". If you are a Bungie fan (otherwise, why are you here again?), you might want to check out Bungie.net for the next few days, as the Bungie Day celebrations are beginning to kick off in earnest. Make sure you check in often, as it's only going to get better. (GrimBrother One 18:12:24 UTC) (permalink)
Community machinima spotlight
CruelLEGACEY has posted a Community Spotlight of Funny Halo 3 Productions (now known as Dark River Eclipse) on his site - you can see some sample video along with a description of the group and how they've grown. The Annhiliation Circuit video shows off some pretty chaotic gametypes! (Louis Wu 16:16:31 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: Reach Challenge Initiative
HaLo2FrEeEk has set up the Halo: Reach Challenge Initiative - it's designed to let anyone (with a Twitter account) offer suggestions about the daily and weekly challenges. Go explore! (Louis Wu 13:11:29 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Combat
FyreWulff speculated about a gametype he'd be able to build with Bungie's scripting tools... looks like it might be fun! (Louis Wu 13:04:05 UTC) (permalink)
He needs a weapon.
Hedgemony took an artistic look back at Halo 3's Master Chief - he can make even SMGs look powerful! (Louis Wu 13:02:32 UTC) (permalink)
Achievement PIG #29
hezekiah noticed that the latest Achievement HORSE -er, PIG - went live last night (links in the forum post); Jack and Geoff whipped through a 3-letter contest in record time. Hard to tell a lot about the maps this time... (Louis Wu 12:58:49 UTC) (permalink)
