Last week, about 25 Bungie fans and even a few Bungie employees showed up for a LAN at Louis Wu’s house in the remote suburbs of Connecticut. The LAN that followed was of the epic nature associated with HBO LANs. Read on for details and many pictures.

Welcome to the last Bungie Weekly Update of 2006, where we basically wish you all happy holidays and head off into the sunset. Or snowstorm, for those of us unlucky enough to be going anywhere near Colorado. Anyhoo, jump in, jump out and go enjoy the break.

Give the gift of Bungie this Holiday Season. Desperate for a last minute gift? Can’t get hold of a Cabbage Patch Kid or whatever the young people are into these days? Why not give an electronic gift certificate to the Bungie store, and stop worrying about UPS 3 Day shipping, and Target parking lots right…
