Month: February 2008

DigitalPh33r has released Episode 6 of his ‘Deus Ex Machina’ series – even though Plague’s dead, Brent has plenty of problems still facing him – not least is a mysterious alien capable of taking over unwilling hosts. Eighteen and a half minutes long, some great camera work. Definitely sets up Episode 7 as an exciting…

The Bungie Weekly Update was posted on Bungie.net last night (and added to our Weekly Update Archive) – there’s a ton of info about talks being given by Bungie employees at next week’s Game Developers Conference, along with details about matchmaking, upcoming DLC, and enhancements to the Bungie.net website. Good stuff all around!(Louis Wu 10:25:26…

While Miguel was writing his customary toast to Brian on this, the anniversary of his passing, I was writing up a little description of the auction we ran to benefit the foundation set up in his name. You can read it here.(Louis Wu 02:10:50 UTC)

As per tradition, today (it’s still the 15th in my corner of the world) we remember our good friend Brian Morden, aka *Ar-Isildur. Five years ago the evil that is cancer, specifically Ewing’s Sarcoma won the battle and took this 19 year old young man. But not the war. Never. Sign the guestbook if you…

Wow. If you swing by Hawty McBloggy’s latest post, you can find a link to one of those Ibanez Xiphos Halo 3 guitars (only 20 were made, and a few were given away during promotions leading up to Halo 3’s release) on eBay – you can’t really buy one, so if you want one, here’s…

Captain Spark has decided to get out of the dialogue-collecting business – but his last submission is a doozy – 162 clips from a number of different characters, including singing brutes, marines impersonating Christopher Walken, and haughty AI constructs. Go listen!(Louis Wu 12:53:15 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy has posted her last Rorschach Inkblot Test – this one is on Foundry. Odd patterns…(Louis Wu 12:45:27 UTC)

Bungie played against the crew from McFarlane Toys in this week’s Halo Humpday Challenge. It was sort of a blowout… (Louis Wu 12:42:20 UTC)

tb2571989 pointed out thaqt AxS CALiBER has made another episode of ‘Master Chief: Pwned Life’ – it’s starting to feel less like an homage to DigitalPh33r’s Master Chief Sucks at Halo, and more like a derivative work. You might enjoy it, though. (Louis Wu 12:30:28 UTC)

Tiny Fan Fiction update this week – just two pieces, and one’s not even really Halo-related. (Well, I guess it could be – but there’s nothing actually Halo-universe-specific in it.)(Louis Wu 12:23:53 UTC)

Xavier dropped us a note to let us know what was going on over at the 405th, in the field of Halo armor and sculpture.Favos has built his own Master Chief figure out of Apoxie and polymer clay. He looks great!BishopX and Slavefive have been hard at work on an assault rifle – check out…

Not really Halo-related… but there are bunch of new jobs listed on Bungie’s newly-revamped Jobs page; if you’re interested in getting into this company, now’s a great time to look at your options! Thanks, Psychophan7.(Louis Wu 12:06:19 UTC)

More info from the Ensemble team – the February Halo Wars Monthly Update has been posted. Details on (some of) what will, and won’t, be in the final product are available. Thanks, LoneRanger 2.5.(Louis Wu 22:52:04 UTC)
