On Top of SC... in 3D
Bonk has put up a very nice little QuickTime VR movie (200k) of the top of Silent Cartographer... makes me want to build a house up there. (I wonder how much that island land is going for...?) (Louis Wu 18:06:07 UTC) (permalink)

Freewill and Halo - what a pair!
Major updates at Bungie's websites: Truth and Reconciliation's Legendary Walkthrough has gotten a second chapter (with some GORGEOUS screenshots, thanks to Mordia), and the Seventh Column has a monster interview with bungie.org's own Miguel Chavez, Bungie's Number One Fan. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 04:03:15 UTC) (permalink)
Maw 700 Contest 2 - Complete!
It hasn't been without roadblocks, but the Maw 700 has finally come to a successful conclusion. Contest 2, in which participants needed to get from one end of the Maw Run to the other with Maximum Style, closed 27 hours ago - but instead of a few screenshots (and a well-defined goal, as Contest 1 had with its time target), the judges had to get hold of 4 separate 15-megabyte files (a feat in itself), rate them on content and composition, and come to a consensus on the conclusions - something that took a bit longer than we'd anticipated. Then, we had to make sure the files were hosted, so that visitors could download and view them for themselves - major thanks go out to Brian Towne, of mythica.org, and Vector40, of The Repertory, for handling this part. All our ducks are finally lined up now, though, so stop by the Maw 700 Contest 2 page for all the details! (Louis Wu 02:43:08 UTC) (permalink)
