I pulled a gun at the world today.

Longest interview ever.

We missed yesterday’s posts at Bungie’s Comm Chatter – urk’s back in town and updating again! Here’s what you’ll find if you mosey on over: A Minecraft user (and his friends) built a huge recreation of a UNSC Frigate – then made an exhaustive video s…

INSANEdrive noticed a little retrospective on Bungie’s early days over at Kotaku – if you weren’t around in the early 90s, you might have missed this stuff! Go see where they came from.(Louis Wu 15:06:33 UTC)

AlphaGamma stopped by to let us know that Frostbite Chapter 5 is now live. (The last one we mentioned was Chapter 3, back on April 2 – you can find a link for Chapter 4 in his post, as well.) Nice work!(Louis Wu 15:03:45 UTC)

NeoGAF’s Booshka pointed out a montage from Ninja, a current player on Final Boss – the man is frighteningly accurate with a sniper rifle. (That’s not to say he’s a slouch with ANY other weapon.) Gameplay, in general, is over the top. (That’s a good th…

Over at GAF, Zeouterlimits pointed out an article at Destructoid about the E3 MS Press Conference tickets… and what they might reveal. Interesting speculation! Update: Frankie stopped in to crush a few dreams – turns out, the agency who created the t…

Haven’t been keeping up on news-scraping from NeoGAF – time to fix that. Willeth wrote up a little tidbit about Bungie’s upcoming project, now known as ‘Destiny’ – his source is unnamed, and uncorroborated, but the information fits the data we have, s…

Looking for Reach on the cheap? Wal-Mart now has it for 25 Bucks (USD) Thanks to Schedonnardus for noticing! Update: KP pointed out that the price is lower on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, as well – it’s $40 there, rather than $25, but there’s no driving invo…

Do you love the Halo Franchise? If you do, you should visit The Age of Gratitude, a project designed to bring the memories and thoughts of both Halo fans and developers together to celebrate the things we love and remember from the past decade. Once yo…
