Bungie Fans RULE
Last time Bungie put up a set of 'eyeball benders', it took the community over two months to solve them all. This time, it took 16 hours. Well, that's actually how long it took candyman to CONFIRM the guesses - but the final correct guess came less than 5 hours after Frogblast posted his observation that the puzzle was up. Not too shabby! (Dave C. also points out that the Seventh Column story mentioned earlier now has a couple of cool new photos... and a fun little feature - every single blue dot on the maps of the chapters now LEADS to the chapter it represents!)

The first mirrors for Warthog Revisited
Mirror sites have begun to come in for the Warthog Revisited movie - we've started a mirror list. Hopefully, the bandwidth will continue to hold up once the Oz.net servers drop off that list... but if you haven't seen this, grab it now. it's hilarious. (Louis Wu 19:02:14 UTC) (permalink)
New Badgers for ya
A couple of months ago, Stormsinger posted an interesting piece of concept art for a future Halo mod, if the opportunity to build one ever arises. Yesterday, he sent in a render of two of the final four versions of the vehicle. We've added the image to our Miscellaneous Art section, but there is enough material now to warrant the creation of a 'Halo Extensions' section - it won't be instant, but we'll be putting it together soon. Rules for admission will be included. :) In the meantime, visit our Miscellaneous Art section and check out Stormsinger's latest creation! (And if you missed it in our forum - my bad for forgetting to mention it here - check out Roger Wilco's vehicle suggestions, as well.) (Louis Wu 16:45:55 UTC) (permalink)
Seventh Column Details emerge
Curious about the reach of Bungie's Seventh Column? Take a gander at Matt Soell's State of the Seventh Column address, posted last night. (You'll also get a nice rundown of the E3 Fanfest, a tasty bonus.) (Louis Wu 15:38:12 UTC) (permalink)
Warthog Revisited - available!
Woohoo! The long-awaited 'Warthog Revisited', Randy Glass' followup to his 'Warthog Jump' film (first seen last week, in a slightly less finished form, and the Bungie Fanfest in LA), is now available! You can grab it for a VERY short time at Randy's site - but he's going to pull that down sometime today. Mirrors would be gratefully appreciated! (I've already tossed copies of both the large (320x240, 17.2 mb) and small (240x180, 8.9 mb) versions up at mythica.org - thanks, Brian! - but the more, the merrier!) Read Randy's forum post for more details. (Louis Wu 13:29:34 UTC) (permalink)
Physics is fun
For those who think Halo's tapped out, interest-wise... check this out. Razorback posts a note to our forum, explaining how he set up a situation where the standard auto-aim feature of Halo just stopped working - in his words, "it whould like, thorw away my vision from the hunter." (Razorback is Portuguese - give him a break on the spelling and grammar.) Stormsinger added some details... and Ferrex popped in with the behind-the-scenes explanation... and for Halo-geeks, it's pretty satisfying. (If you read it and say, 'so what?', rejoice in your non-Halo-geekiness.) It's not old yet, folks! (Louis Wu 02:38:25 UTC) (permalink)
What the heck IS that?
Whoa - thanks to Frogblast, who noticed a new set of screenshots over at Bungie's Tru7h and Reconciliation; another set of Eyeball Benders! This one's tougher than the last set... add your guesses to Froggy's thread! (Louis Wu 02:15:32 UTC) (permalink)
Ask Bungie to WHAT?
Halo: Game of the Year Edition box acronym: revealed! Mnemesis, our research droid, has sent in both the acronym... and a pretty decent guess:
ABTFIPAS05
Yes, that's the number '5', not the letter 'S'. Mnemesis' guess? "Ask Bungie To Finally Introduce Pimps At Sea On Sega." (Well, except for the 5...) Have an idea yourself? Post it to our forum! (Thanks to B5RobMan, who did his best to find this acronym - your time was appreciated!) (Louis Wu 02:10:25 UTC) (permalink)
Combat Unevolved...
It had to happen... Scott Porter writes to let us know that work has begun on a Marathon Infinity conversion - Halo: Combat Unevolved. They've JUST started, so there's not much there yet... but if you are interested in getting in on the ground floor of this project, send him mail! (Louis Wu 02:02:08 UTC) (permalink)
