Year: 2006

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…

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…

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.)

Even in these times of uncertainty, with our leader off who knows where (even though he hasn’t got the sense to stay off the ‘net), some things stay the same. A pun about puns? Who else to deliver but Stuntmutt and One One Se7en.

Microsoft and Bungie does what they must in order to push their product and continue to develop as they do. This means we (consumers) have little to no control over certain choices. However, you can still speak up about it. Fransico A. informed us of a petition he started based on his reaction to this…

In other dialogue news, Captain Spark lets us know that he’s recorded another 18 snippets, plus a bizarre sound from back in the T & R. Check ’em out! (Side note: Wu, you’re supposed to be on vacation, so vacate!) Update: Yeah, yeah… I AM vacating. Here are CS’s submissions in our Dialogue Databank. I…

Just testing out my net connection from here in paradise – seems okay. Looks like Eisen Feuer posted a new batch of multiplayer dialogue snippets on our forum; I’ve added them to the Dialogue Databank. (I discovered that SOME parts of my net connection aren’t that great; I can’t connect to the HBO servers at…

Episode 11 weighs in at 71 minutes long is now available for listening off of their podcast site. Listen to their discussion on Vista and Halo2 as well as Uwe Boll.

MLG kicks off the 2006 season with a huge, detailed announcement full of tour and event details, rules, and a mess of other stuff. Check it out, and thanks to Derek for the heads-up on the forum.

DJ Voltage Spike of MMORadio.com drops by the forum to announce that Major Nelson will be their live guest tonight on the Gametime Radio Show. The show starts at 6 pm PST, so listen in to hear what the Major has to say about… Xbox Live stuff. They’ll also have a toll-free number and a…

For the last several weeks, the HBO Admin team has been playing online building our skills and having a considerable amount of fun. Last Wednesday, we were challenged by the Gunslingers of Tied the Leader. Xerxdeej did a far better job explaining than we could have; with video to boot. Update: This is a bit…

The World Cyber Games released the list of titles they will use in official events for the upcoming season. Notably absent from the list is Halo 2, which the WCG had featured up until this year. Thanks to 3Suns for the note.

And THAT ends my posting spree. Why the rush? Well, because in less than 4 hours, I get in a car and drive to the airport, and fly to a place that’s far, far away. (Where we’re going… there are no roads. Wait, that’s wrong.) For the next 8 days, you’re in the capable hands…

Fan Fiction update comes early this week (see above for why) – 10 pieces for you tonight. Go read. Next update will be on Friday, the 24th.

I lied. There are some tasty morsels at Rampancy.net – you should read them before I’m through tonight. Uwe Boll (filmmaker extraordinaire, you betcha) has predicted that the Halo movie will be a failure (and you should read this, too, for a laugh)… and Narcogen has taken it upon himself to try and explain why…

Last quickie: Frankie posted a short news item on Bungie.net pointing out a few Halo websites that didn’t get mentioned in yesterday’s Valentine update. (I’m sure he’s getting all sorts of hatemail from sites that didn’t make EITHER list… but hey, sometimes you just gotta roll with it.)
