Apologies for the downtime – I can’t explain it, since I’m 3000 miles away from the folks responsible for this connection, but I’ll get to the bottom of it as soon as I get back – in the meantime, we have two new mirrors for you on the fanfest videos posted recently:blam.psyjnir.comHaloEmpireEnjoy!

Halo on CNN says jon Keegan and TCB on our forums. What next?

Kudos to Harry of Oni Central who sends word of MacGamer interview with Bungie’s Studio Manager, Alexander Seropian, and Interface Architect, David Candland. Here’s a great piece: Although no time frame was given for the release of the Mac Halo, Bungie assured MacGamer that a simultaneous Mac/PC port is planned. David says, “We’re planning on…

Loud, big, and… big. Really big. We did a LOT of walking today, and really only saw about 30% of the show. We did, however, manage to spend a bit of time in the Bungie area of the Microsoft enclave, and watch some pretty slick Halo gameplay. We noticed some fun driving hijinks in a…

Wow. Sometimes you just wanna see the game. Freewill filmed all the Xbox goodness last night at Bungie Fanfest V – we’ve been rendering the movies all night. There are three of ’em, and two should be up soon on both the Bungie Sightings page and the bungie.org E3 200l coverage page – but the…

Has Louis gone yet?

I’m leavin’, on a jet plane… heh. I’m heading out to the airport in 20 minutes, to fly out to LA in time for tonight’s Bungie Fanfest… today’s news will be rather light, but we should make up for it over the next few days. Keep an eye on Wirehead – he’s been acting funny…

That Gothmog – he keeps on top of the polls, he does. He just pointed out a poll over at the Official Xbox Magazine site: With so many amazing Xbox games already announced, we can’t decide what to put on our first cover. Which of the following would make you buy our premiere issue?One of…

In the rush for E3, little things get forgotten… we’d like to wish Jaime Griesemer a very Happy Birthday today! Pax.

Thanks to Gothmog, who points out a new poll over at msxbox.com – WWhich Xbox game are you looking forward to the most from E3? Currently, Halo holds a nice lead – 37% of 300+ votes – but you never know. Go make your voice heard!

The Halo SETI Marines keep their position in the top 50 Club Teams, due in large part to the addition of several new members – welcome, jcampen, ducky sauce, and signum! DarthFlounder seems to have been unsuccessful at finding all the machines running clients for him, since he passed the mythical 7777 mark this week……

Thanks to Cartack, who noticed a feature in Time Magazine (by way of Xbox Campus) in which Halo gets a brief mention. The feature is called ‘The Battle of Seattle’, and compares the Xbox to the Nintendo GameCube. Halo gets touched upon when they discuss the realistic abilities of the Xbox: Just take a walk…

Friday’s Weekly Halo Update has been moved to the Halo Update Database… word of the week is ‘warthog’. Does it look like Bungie’s been focusing on this bad boy recently?

Halo Developer Diary. Thanks to dcd for pointing us to the 1st installment of a Halo Developer Diary over at PlanetXbox. Jaime Griesemer reflects on “some of the sweeping (and to some of our fans, disturbing) changes that Halo has gone through.”
