Too many planes in too few hours
I'm back - thanks to Ding for minding the store while I was gone. I did a pretty silly thing (though not one i regret for a second) - I went on a spur-of-the-moment trip across the US to attend the moving-in party Bungie was holding at their new digs in Kirkland, WA. (We've mentioned the move a couple of times - you can check our news for more info.) As I mentioned in a forum post last night, I was pretty darned impressed with the new space; it's gorgeous, well-thought-out, spacious, and productivity-enhancing. And such. Anyway, I'm home, and though I'm taking the evening off to attend a function with my wife, I WILL be doing my best to catch up on all news since Friday - probably tomorrow. For those who missed it, there was a Weekly Update posted at B.net last night, as usual - as of 3 pm yesterday afternoon, there were over 8500 Hurricane Katrina shirts sold, for a Red Cross donation total of over $120,000. WOW. (I got a look at some of the auction items that will be made available soon - man, I hope these go for what they're worth, because that will be a LOT of money.) There's also info on the Halo movie, music, stuff they won't talk about, and Matchmaking playlists. And of course, a Mister Chief piece - in fact, one you'll be able to bid on soon. Go read!

PMS at EW
The all-girl gaming clan PMS is given 3 pages in the latest Entertainment Weekly magazine (Sept. 16 issue, on sale the 9th) No online edition as far as I can tell. Since they're heavily into Halo, there's much talk about the game, and their participation in the CPL 2005 Summer Championships. Interesting to see how Halo is again used as an example of a game that draws you in, no matter what your background. (Ding 20:03:05 UTC) (permalink)
Phoenix hinted
With the Wu gone this weekend, updates are a little sporadic, but we'll do the best we can. First up, thanks to a heads up from Anton P. Nym, The Escapist's latest issue has an article written by John Tynes, a tabletop game aficianado that had some adventures in computer game development, it's an interesting read, esp. when you get to the part where he mentions his role in Bungie's aborted Phoenix project. Oh, what a tease! (Ding 19:52:55 UTC) (permalink)
