Polish Halo site opens
Holy bratwurst, Batman! Poland joins the ranks of countries that host a Halo fansite... http://www.centrumhalo.prv.pl/. As far as content goes... I have no idea at all what it says, but they did a great job with how it looks! Weapons and Vehicle pages have very nicely cleaned-up thumbnails, for example.) Check 'em out... and even if you don't speak Polish! (Louis Wu 20:04:31 UTC) (permalink)
Vote Hamish for a better Bungie... or something
Ding and Crux wheeled me in here to say... hmmm hang on... oh yeah... vote Hamish... that's it. And you can KEEP your stock options Louis! (Wirehead 16:56:15 UTC) (permalink)
Vote Hamish twice.
I'm with Ding on this one. Hamish gets my vote. (Crux Fidelis 16:41:09 UTC) (permalink)
Vote Hamish
Not all of us at HBO think that votingfor Louis in the bungie.netpoll is a good idea. I mean Louis hasn't paid us any wages yetand we're up to here with his stock options BS. So my vote goes to Hamish. (Ding 16:41:09 UTC) (permalink)
The Bitner Roundup, December 7
The Bitner update, December 7: There's been quite a bit of information flying around about Nathan Bitner, and his new company, Island Four Software. Rather than add these items as we found them (which would turn HBO into I4.org - unnecessary, since it already exists), we've decided to give you a roundup.
- Island4.org has been registered by Nathan... not to be confused with Islandfour.org, the aforementioned fansite, registered to 3of9. (Island4.com is registered to an unrelated company, and island4.net is as yet unregistered.)
- Nathan has been waxing poetic (and not so poetic) on various fora recently... there are lots of interesting tidbits to be found. In this one, he discusses some of the literature that has influenced him... and one of the books (Infinite Jest) has elicited discussion and feedback from the community.
- Nathan has posted his first job opening on I4.org's forum... he's looking for a sparkplug. (Read the post to see what he means.)
Bottom line: the Bungie community (or at least the Halo community) seems excited by this new company... we have high hopes for Nathan's success! (Louis Wu 14:54:44 UTC) (permalink)
The Lion Awakes
Has nobody got faith in your trusty webmaster? Bungie.net is running a new quick poll:
All this talk of rioting in the streets has led us to wonder which of the following fans would win in a fight. Who'd you put your money on?
- Miguel 'Freewill' Chavez
- Tyson 'Ferrex' Green
- Claude 'Louis Wu' Errera
- Hamish 'Godot' Sinclair
Good Lord... even Hamish has more votes than I do! I'm a monster in the cage... they wouldn't stand a chance! Go cast your vote for me, and show that silly Yeroen guy who's boss. (Louis Wu 14:07:56 UTC) (permalink)
