    One One Se7en does it again. A groan-inducing nightmare of a comic strip whose only saving grace is that it is mercifully short. Cruel? Read the pun and decide for yourself. Special Ed Ition

    Wow, very cool. Microsoft has announced a Disc Replacement Program – if you have a damaged Xbox 360 disc that they publish, and you own a 360, they’ll send you a new one, at a reduced rate. Halo 2 falls into this category – so if you’ve got a 360, and a non-functional Halo 2…

    Today’s One One Se7en was submitted last week – but it’s funnier than a similar joke posted yesterday at TeamXbox.(Louis Wu 18:01:51 UTC)

    New game form harmonix, that lets you not only pretend to play guitar, but also includes drums, bass, and vocals. This sounds like an interesting and possibly fun game. Gamespot coverage http://www.gamespot.com/news/6168388.html?tag=latestnews;title;0 Nobody has rocked the game industry quite like Harmonix Music Systems. The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based game company is focused squarely on music and rhythm…

    It seems that every year, people have trouble figuring out which April Fools stories are true, and which are not. (We don’t help very much; we intersperse regular Halo news bits with April Fools stories as they come in, and rarely draw attention to the fact that they may or may not be real.) For…

    Bungie Sightings

    The evening of March 31, 2007, Louis Wu and I (and my son, Rafi) met at Yale’s Woosley Hall in New Haven, CT for the phenomenon that is Video Games Live. The premise is video game music played by a symphony/choir. We had a great time! It definitely ran the gamut of games – starting…

    Surprise, surprise– the new Halo 2 maps by Certain Affinity apparently won’t be only for the Xbox 360, but will also run on the original console. Hang ’em High and Derelict are coming to the new engine as Tombstone and Desolation. Apparently this means that Xbox Marketplace can’t be used, since it doesn’t support original…

    Last night, I was lucky enough to find myself at the Video Games Live concert that was performed at Yale University’s Woolsey Hall. Great music, for a couple of hours… and then the piece de resistance – the standard Halo theme, followed immediately by the Halo 3 ‘Finish The Fight’ piece. Miguel Chavez was able…

    Bungie.net has posted an apology for an industry leak of the upcoming Pimps at Sea movie – apparently, a distributor leaked a poster that was NOT supposed to be public. I guess this has the potential of hurting the upcoming ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ finale… it’s not Halo-related, but it IS Bungie-related, and if anybody…

    Team Xbox has a story about the ‘Power In My Platform’ edition of Halo 3, estimated retail price of $999.99 – instead of just a helmet, you get the whole Spartan. Comes with pretty special content – read the story. Thanks, Spec_Ops_Assault (and Wayward Spleen™).(Louis Wu 14:12:06 UTC)
