No Halo Movie Director Chosen Yet
Yesterday, the IMDB entry for the Halo movie was changed - with the inclusion of Uwe Boll as Director. This caused no small amount of uproar on Halo forums around the net - even sites like Joystiq speculated on whether this was true. It's not true. Joseph Staten, Halo 2's writer and the Bungie employee who is currently most involved in the movie negotiations, had this to say:
"Nope. Absolutely not true. Trust me, when we've got something big to announce about the film (such as the director), we won't just be sneaking it onto IMDB."
Hopefully, this will put the rumors to bed... thanks, Joe! (Louis Wu 21:17:12 UTC) (permalink)
Apples
Red vs Blue Episode 61, 'Fair Competition', is up for sponsors right now. (This means it'll be up for the general public sometime tomorrow night.) A new character is now fully part of the cast... and I'm thinking, cross between Scooby Doo and Strongbad. With added odors. Fun stuff! Thanks to Keyes for the heads-up.

Dyslexia has written a review of MLG Seattle - fun writeup of a tourney near the end of a tumultuous season. Give it a read! Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 01:19:29 UTC) (permalink)
Inside The Actor's Studio
Friday's Halo Babies went live sometime recently - SBZ told us about it just a little bit ago. I always wondered about that stuff... (Louis Wu 00:39:16 UTC) (permalink)
Crazy old bats and pimpin' rides
The Bungie Weekly Update has been posted - it's a report from the floor of the Tokyo Game Show, filed by none other than Frankie. It's completely devoid of Bungie-related material - but then, the folks back in Kirkland didn't do much except move in and hold their annual Pentathlon (which will be covered NEXT week), so I suppose it's okay. If you're a gamer, there's some pretty cool stuff in the report - go read! (Louis Wu 00:06:02 UTC) (permalink)
