First Contact site complete
First Contact, a Half Life 2 modification based on the Fall of Reach, has officially launched its main site at www.firstcontactmod.com. They have forums running, and an IRC channel at #Firstcontact at Gamesurge.net. (Cybrfrk 20:47:46 UTC) (permalink)
Outbreak trailer passes MPRRS
This is one of those rare occasions when someone wants the feedback and no hosting. The trailer for the new four part series Outbreak passed with flying colors. A flood infection is spreading fast and the elites have come to earth to stop it. The humans need to learn to trust the elites before the earth becomes entirely infected.(WMV only, though if anyone needs a QT version, we're hosting one. -lwu) (Cybrfrk 20:40:22 UTC) (permalink)
Repetition and Luck
Narcogen has switched gears and returned to writing up his Halo 2 impressions over at Rampancy.net. Today he takes a close look at Gravemind. (KP 16:30:48 UTC) (permalink)
XiT WouNDz vs Str8 Rippin
Z pointed out a new video on Halo2Forum.com - it's a Team Slayer match between XiT WouNDz and Str8 Rippin, on Midship. Amazing to watch pros working together, especially when full voice output is captured. Just under 100 mb, WMP9 format, definitely worth the download. (Louis Wu 03:35:49 UTC) (permalink)
The Mysterious Beastie
rockslider's been busy; if you visit his Bad Cyborg site, you'll find a new Frontline With Suzie (in which she interviews the mysterious beastie you can hear from a particular cave), and a more complete description of the beastie's location. (This guy was first documented by oldmano'theC almost 4 years ago... how time flies!) Captain Spark did a pretty amazing job of capturing the sound with no ambient noise blocking your hearing; you can grab it from his site, or from our Dialogue Databank (actually, the sound is there, but it's not yet registered in the databank).

Droolables at the Bungies Store
Back from dinner, back from a nice moonlit walk on the beach... everyone else wanted to go to bed, so I figured I'd check in. Looks like a few things came in recently that haven't been posted... so I'm posting. You could start by swinging by the Bungie store - there are some new goodies to check out. The Zanzibar retro shirt from last year is back, in long sleeves and a light blue... a Halo-styled Ogio backpack is waiting to be scarfed up... and a bunch of trinkets I don't remember (a couple of pens and a caribiner keychain) have shown up. Thanks to Smith8907 for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 03:14:19 UTC) (permalink)
F-I-R-Z... dangit
The Weekly Update is up, this week Frankie's got a special treat: a video tour of the new Bungie Studios. Naturally, Frankie was first to make note of it. (It's in the BWU Archive, too. But don't tell anyone.) (KP 00:07:44 UTC) (permalink)
