    These days it seems like everyone at Bungie is giving interviews. Of course that’s not really the case; Bungie is just much larger than it was back in the days when you could attend a MacWorld show and meet practically the whole company. One thing that hasn’t changed too much is the man behind it…

    Luke Smith has posted up the last Bungie Weekly Update before the game goes into everyone’s (or mostly everyone’s) hands: a How-To article on Bungie.net’s new features. Still nothing about fileshare RSS feeds, but it does look like there will be a high degree of integration between your fileshare and the Bungie.net forums.

    Microsoft has put up an interactive Halo 3 manual – it requires Silverlight (yeah, they’re really pushing that technology, aren’t they?), but it’s worth installing… this is a nice piece of work. (It’s not the WHOLE Halo 3 manual – but it’s a nice subset.) spec_ops_grunt was first with this, though he was far from…

    In the past couple days, Microsoft has put up two new Halo-related items on the web powered by its Flash-like Silverlight technology; first, the Halo-themed Tafiti search engine (which I’ve had a little trouble loading) and now an Interactive Halo 3 Manual… which I’m having a bit more luck with. Maybe you will, too.

    Wow. Jack Thompson is back in court – this time, he’s trying to have Halo 3 declared a ‘public nuisance’ so as to block its release in Florida. Yeah, good luck with that, Jack. Thanks to Ben Ritter for today’s dose of surrealism.(Louis Wu 00:36:30 UTC)
