I’m not sure how many of you listened to both Bungie podcasts released yesterday… but there’s quite a bit of interesting information buried deep within the joking and PG-13 language. If you haven’t had a chance to hear them, swing by the Weekly Update (links are here) and spend some time with ’em!(Louis Wu 11:43:00…

The Bungie Weekly Update has some cool Halloween pics, a little tiny bit of info about Halo 3: Recon, and podcasts. Two of ’em. A new one, and the Lost Podcast from PAX. Nobody can complain about the lack of info in the Weekly Update until they’ve listened to the podcasts. Period. You can, as…

Wonga. Darkspire Films is back – with two new products (and the promise of another pair). Aynder Seal is six and a half minutes long, weighs in at 180 mb, and is confusing as hell. Luna Habladora is six minutes long, 250 mb, and a lot less serious. It involves, as the title might suggest……
