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!…

JNAMSTFY. DMUKYA. ABTFIPASO5. These cryptic identifiers have entertained, enightened, frustrated, and confounded Bungie fans since the early days in Chicago. Found on nearly every game and soundtrack created or licensed by Bungie, a surprising number of these enigmatic acronyms remain unsolved….

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…

I had the pleasure of visiting Wideload recently and was impressed with their progress on the game. It’s coming along really well and the hints of multiple-platform simul-release seems like a sure thing. And if not simul, then near-simul. But the most important bit of info I gleaned from these talented folks is that they’re…

It seems that Bungie is moving out of their Microsoft offices and into a hundred-year-old hardware store in nearby Kirkland. According to the article: “The team is running out of space and is relocating to maintain team camaraderie that they’ve had since moving from Chicago.”…

Once again it’s time to drag our old friend Stubbs the Zombie out from behind the curtain to see how he’s decomposing. Not only have we got a Q&A with Alex Seropian on Wideload’s upcoming game, but three tasty, delicious, new screenshots for you as well. Dig in!…

Longtime Bungie fans will need no introduction or explanation as to the meaning of the letters above, but in case you’ve come in to this warm hovel from out in the cold, dark wasteland of the “other” game communities, I offer the following. (NOTE: UPDATED 04-03-2006) The comments are now locked, because 343 is a…

As mentioned over at sister site HBO, I was one of the fortunate folks that got picked to play Halo 2 MP over in Times Sq today, at the ESPNZone during one of ESPN’s morning shows, Cold Pizza. I heard that over 2000 folks entered the raffle, of which 50 were chosen and a handful…

Joseph Staten mentions in a recent interview over at Gamespy (thanks HBO) the particular challenge he faced when writing lines for distinguished actors who lent their voice talents to the game. He reveals that the alien named “Prophet of Truth”, was an especially interesting character to write lines for, knowing the particular nuances the actor…
