My7hos has been putting together a whole bunch of his Halo schwag for auctions – and he’s now decided that all proceeds (past the costs of running the auctions) will be donated to the TTL Foundation. Great cause, great idea! Go see what he’s offering; the auctions aren’t up yet, but he’s fleshed out the…

I think Fairfax’s visit to HBO Headquarters is nearing its end. (It started here, and was followed up here.) He tried to tour the Yale campus (since it’s pretty much right next door)… but it just wouldn’t stop raining! While he waited, he explored a local brew pub… and I gotta say, once he was…

The Bungie Weekly Update is up… but it’s light. If you’re not interested in golf (and Bungie’s playing of it), and if you’ve already listened to the podcast… there’s not a huge amount of material that’s new. There are (vague) details about the release date of the September update, there’s some cackling about new Banhammer…

Wow, no front-page link yet, but a new Bungie Podcast, dated September 4, has been released this evening – It’s available both on iTunes, and in .mp3 format downloadable from the RSS feed.

Bryan Simon is quickly becoming a voice to be heard in the musical Halo community – his newest track is called ‘One Shot on my X’, and you can watch it on YouTube, read Bryan’s thread on Bungie.net, or download the MP3 from us (3.2 mb). I’m a little suspicious, though… I think he wrote…

Harabek found a rather massive Halo 3 machinima entitled ‘Why we kill’ over on YouTube – it’s not his, nor does he know the creators, but he was impressed enough to bring it to our forum’s attention. The message – that losing your humanity can be worse than losing your life – is one not…

The latest article is up at Ascendant Justice – vociferous has continued the ‘Architecture of War’ series, and Part III looks at The Enemy. He makes the argument that the opponents you face are, in many ways, the most critical part of any encounter – more important than The Environment and The Sandbox – and…
