The Bungie crew seems to be settling in comfortably in their new digs, as evidenced by the banter in this thread. Good to see Matt and Marty back at each others’ throats!

PunkRocker points out on our forum that he’s made a new flash movie transitioning between the new and the old marine. Worth a look… I had trouble seeing it with Netscape Communicator for mac… so if you do, too, try IE, or a PC.
