  • urk in high heels? Hrm…

    The Bungie Weekly Update is live, seeing as it’s Friday night (well, Saturday morning in HBO-time, but Bungie’s 7 hours behind) – this one’s a fun read.

    It’s been a while since we’ve heard from PraetoriaGuard… but they were a pretty loud community voice, back in the day.

    IGN put together a documentary on Moto-Neural Demyelination. Never heard of it? There’s a reason for that. Go watch, and learn. Yes, it’s Halo-related. (For what it’s worth – I think they could have picked a better name for the disease – it cuts awfully close to REAL motor neuron disorders. I don’t think they…
