    Sep7imus noticed that there’s a bunch of Halo stuff with clearance prices over at Hot Topic – including the Mister Chief t-shirt, which went on sale for the very first time less than 4 months ago. That’s like straight-to-video DVDs… poor Frankie.(Louis Wu 12:55:06 UTC)

    Last summer, Bungie’s Damián Isla gave a talk at the Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Entertainment Conference entitled “Dude, where’s my Warthog? – From Pathfinding to General Spatial Competence’. We don’t have audio of the talk – but the slides were pretty fascinating in their own right. If you’re interested in the techniques Bungie uses to…

    Over at Halo3Forum.com, there’s a thread started by someone working at a military base in Kuwait – he’s looking for donations of used controllers and copies of Halo 2 (the conditions there are such that controllers don’t last long).
