Hump Day is back!
Bungie's Halo Humpday Challenge has been on sabbatical for a while - but it's back, and written up as a new Top Story at Bungie.net. They didn't have any particular foes - they simply went up against random teams in the Team Snipers playlist on XBL's Matchmaking. They walked away with 2 out of three wins... and have already lined up the next targets. As Frankie says, BEST GIF EVAR. (It's not actually IN the story - it's on their front page. Or you could just go there directly.) (Louis Wu 23:02:23 UTC) (permalink)
Tied the Leader Weekly Update
XerxdeeJ stopped by our forum to announce another week's batch of musings over at Tied the Leader. Many of them this week are related to site administration, or to the recent search for a new clan name (they settled on TTL Gunslingers, as a tip-o-the-hat to Stephen King), but there are some other tidbits buried in there, as well. I liked this bit on Whisper Mode... (Louis Wu 20:32:48 UTC) (permalink)
DO we really need punctuation?
Jillybean demonstrates that she's NOT just here for her coffeemaking abilities (which is a damn good thing, because her coffee will put hair on your back) - she's updated the Halo Story page again. Fun speculation about wide swaths of the Halo universe... go read! (Louis Wu 17:19:00 UTC) (permalink)
RoP - Best Female Performance
That Weasel continues to release individual awards for the 2005 Rockets on Prisoner ceremony - today's release is Best Female Performance. Swing by and pick up a copy of the vid - check out the nominees, and see who won! Thanks to both That Weasel and Funkmon for the heads-up. Update: Best Halo 2 Movie (nominees and winner) have now also been released (Thursday, 23:30 UTC). This is the last update this week, and it came as a surprise to me. (It comes with an acceptance speech from the winner.) Thanks, That Weasel. (Louis Wu 17:12:27 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie's Hiring Again
Yesterday, SketchFactor posted a note on Bungie.net, mentioning a few new job openings at Bungie - they're now looking for an AI Engineer, and XBL Programmer, a Graphics Programmer, a Test Engineer, a Mission Designer, a Lead Character Animator, and a Character Rigger. There is also a continuing need for temporary help. If you're qualified, send 'em an application! (Read the page first, of course, to see what they want - never pays to go in unprepared.) Looks like Schedonnardus was the first to notice. (Louis Wu 14:14:21 UTC) (permalink)
Statistics tracker updated to 2.31
Darkphibre dropped by our forum to announce that Halo Statistics v2.31 has been released. The newest version has the ability to delete players, set up batch downloads for multiple players, and set a start date for downloads. If you've got a PC, give it a look! (Louis Wu 14:08:25 UTC) (permalink)
This Spartan Life - Body Count
This Spartan Life was updated yesterday, but we forgot to put up a news post... the newest segment, Episode 2 Module 3, is called 'Body Count', and the topic is gun control. Chest Harlton, the president of the National Plasma Rifle Association, debates a small child about the correlation, or lack thereof, between handgun ownership and household accidents. Go watch!
