When I got home yesterday, a box was waiting for me; in it, I found a gift from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. I don’t know much about it – but it looks a lot like it was made by Westerfield Studios – you can see a couple like it in use in the…

Three weeks ago, DHalo and Ibeechu released a video recap of the Iris ARG, giving you a way to watch what had been learned in the early days of the game. They’ve released a second episode, now – this one goes in-depth into the whole process, covering …

Hawty McBloggy posted a Top 10 Halo Pick-up Lines article, in an attempt to raise the quality bar of lines she has to listen to when she plays Halo 2. Really – don’t try these yourself… but they’re funny to read1(Louis Wu 11:30:43 UTC)

Last week, _Wheels03 started a small contest to come up with a good slogan for a Halo 3 Launch T-Shirt. In the last 24 hours, interest seems to have picked up quite a bit – I’m mentioning this because entries are flooding in. You’ve got until Friday, …

Boxer pointed out a new Adventures in Disaster comic, based on a snippet of text in last Friday’s Bungie Weekly Update. Boom!(Louis Wu 11:04:02 UTC)

The Seattle Times has a profile of Harold Ryan, Bungie’s Studio Manager, up this morning. It’s nice to get a look at the world as Harold sees it; this is a guy who makes decisions every day that affects what you’ll get to play on September 25 (or 26, …
