Yesterday, DeeJ posted The Bungie Mail Sack 1.0 – he’s not nearly as rude as the Webmaster was, but some of his answers actually have value, so it’s all good. Go read about everything from breaking into the industry to ‘normal days at Bungie’ (heh, as…

I keep thinking Rockslider’s reached the end of the experimentation he can do with Jun’s Falcon on Winter Contingency – but he keeps proving me wrong. Latest shenanigans include dumping your Noble buddies for the rest of the level.(Louis Wu 19:40:31 UTC)

ncsuDuncan has an amazing talent for writing parody songs; he visited our forum with new lyrics for George Michael’s Last Christmas (and wouldn’t it be great if someone actually recorded it?). He’s been doing this for a little while on NeoGAF – some so…

So yesterday, GrimBrother One stopped in with a Kotaku link about Kendall Davis, who was working on Halo 4 until he quit to create a comic game. What started as a story with only passing relevance to HBO became more interesting when Hitmonchan did a li…

The Real Napsta pointed out a ‘Mini-Documentary’ from Ke7cHuM showing off some MLG players talking about playing for money. Interesting watch! (Louis Wu 20:41:12 UTC)
