  • RT: Pot calls the Kettle a Dickhead

    I wish today’s comic was fiction, but it isn’t. Burnie thought it made sense to enable the family timer, as playing video games was getting in the way of our job…playing video games. Luckily for us, the braintrust at RT cracked his devious code. It was…

  • Eight.

    Today’s One One Se7en Advent offering is a Brute joke – I’m sure they would approve of lyrics that including things getting riven. (Louis Wu 21:50:44 UTC)

  • Getting Players Involved

    Halo Wars Heaven has interviewed Ensemble’s Graeme Devine, Halo Wars’ Lead Designer. It’s an interesting piece, though they’re still a ways from finishing – give it a read! Thanks to mrtitan, of Halo Planet, for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 15:05:14 UTC)

  • Halo-mediated interview

    Bizarre – CollegeHumor’s Jeff Rubin interviews MTV’s Human Giant… over a night of classic Halo, freshly downloaded from Marketplace. Surreal. Thanks, Mrguy.(Louis Wu 12:54:03 UTC)

  • Deus Ex Machina Ep 3 – Corrupt

    DigitalPh33r’s machinima project continues to improve – the latest episode is pretty powerful (and a hefty 15 minutes long). I wish it were available in a larger format – but I understand the need to save bandwidth. You can download it in WMP9 format from its Machinima.com home – or you can stream it from…

  • A pain in your…

    Heh – Rubbish Pixels has an article on the biggest annoyances (that’s not the word they use) in the video game universe – 343 Guilty Spark makes the list. I won’t disagree! Thanks, Usul.(Louis Wu 12:09:20 UTC)

  • Game Head – GotY nominees clip

    SpikeTV’s 2007 Video Game Awards are being broadcast tomorrow night – but on GameTrailers, you can watch a clip from Game Head in which a lot of industry professionals discuss Halo 3’s chances for Game of the Year. (There’s also a live performance by Jonathan Coulton – if you haven’t played The Orange Box’s Portal…

  • Nothing Sacred

    Paul Maestri pokes his head up again with a new Halo Heads comic – I must say that while his imagination is clearly vast… the direction his thoughts take him can be a bit disturbing.(Louis Wu 11:51:27 UTC)

  • Eurogamer Live Chat with Bungie – Transcript Up

    The Eurogamer live chat with Frankie and Jonty Barnes went off as expected yesterday; a full transcript is now up on Eurogamer. Lots of good discussion in there, check it out! (I was a little flabbergasted that when a question of whether there would ever be a Marathon game on the 360 came up, nobody…

  • Bungie Weekly Update, Spartan Soccer

    First off, apologies for the sparse updating; I’m out of town, and free time is rarer than I’d expected. Let’s barrel through the biggest new stuff for you. As expected, there was a Bungie Weekly Update last night (available, as always, in our Weekly Update Archive as well) – reminders of things to come, a…

  • RT: Recovery One Part IV

    The fourth and final installment of our Red vs. Blue mini-series “Recovery One” is now available for sponsors in the sponsor forum. It’s also available for download on Xbox Live Marketplace. If you’re on Live, just look under “Game Videos”…

  • Puzzleball 03 – last day!

    Today’s the last day to participate in c0ld vengeance’s Puzzleball 03 contest, and maybe win yourself a copy of Crackdown for your troubles. Because I archived the August through November posts on our forum yesterday, his original forum post is no longer accessible for replies – so use this new one if you want to…

  • Great Balls Of Fyre

    This really doesn’t have anything to do with Bungie or gaming, per se… but former Bungie employee Pete Parsons just received $1 million in financing for his new tech startup, Fyreball, pitched as an “alternative to email” for tracking web messages and discussions. For the full story see the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

  • Misc Art – Another Update

    A little over a week ago, we posted over 50 new images in our Miscellaneous Art section – which cleared the queue through August 1. I promised then that I’d do my best to continue on through the backlog; 10 days is longer than I’d hoped, but the next batch is up. Swing by the…
