Wow. Pretty amazing. 10 years ago MS acquired Bungie and the Bungie fan community was in an uproar. Bungie is over! They’re sellouts! MS doesn’t care about Bungie or its fans. Bungie can’t hope to win against the monolithic entity known as MS! Fast forward several years later, mega-franchise Halo under their belts, maneuvering out…

Geocities.com is closing today. Gone. Zilch. Zip. Nada. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/10/geocities-closing.html If you do a google search like this or this or this or this, You’ll find dozens of sites that cropped up starting way back in the 90’s born out of love for Bungie’s games. I hope, though I doubt, that the owners of these sites…

As reported in Variety and Deadline Hollywood Daily, Larry Shapiro has left his position at CAA. What’s the big deal? Remember when Bungie would mention how they were meeting with CAA and shopping the Halo script around to movie production houses? Larry apparently was a big part of making those kind of meetings happen….

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…

Excited much? If any faithful readers will happen to be in the Vancouver area Friday, May 4, get yerself over to this conference and let us know what The Man has to say!…

If you check out the latest Bungie Weekly Update (I link to the b.org copy as it loads so clean and fast) you’ll find an interesting tidbit that may spell doom to future ‘prizes’ in the next Bungie game. Noguchi has been "making a pony." Since he always speaks in metaphor I was annoyed, until…

Believe it or not, Mr. Seropian is actually working on a new reality TV show for FOX broadcasting! I’m very very interested to see how this gets pulled off….

Caught this on Slashdot. Apparently there’s a ‘grassroots’ Zombie Lurch that has been occurring annually for the last few years, in different cities. Madison, WI (A lovely city by the way, I attended a LAN there a few years back) is this year’s ‘victim’ of the zombie horde. You can check out a bunch of…

1UP, the site that was hosting Alex’s ‘blog’ about Stubbs development, has officially reviewed the game. It’s basically a rave review for a fresh ‘strategy/action’ hybrid game that will debut for us mere mortals in just a few days. The highlights they note are really all that we’ve come to expect from Bungie/Wideload… an attention…

Read about Matt Soell and his current faves in music, books, tv, and games over at Gamasutra. It’s an interesting read if you think a game is influenced by what the authors are currently into. Matt has always given his group an extra dose of irony and a twist of counter-culture (he’s not the only…
