TTL AtLANtica Recap
At the end of May, a whole lot of TTL Gunslingers got together in Florida and partied for a weekend. They had fun, they raised money for charity, they played a lot of Halo. They filmed the whole shebang. Swing by Tied the Leader for a writeup, and a link to the video, either streaming or in quarter-of-a-gig HD goodness. Good game, guys… good game. (Thanks, XerxdeeJ.)

A Halo Fan’s Recommended Reading Primer
Yesterday, SinisterSamurai asked about recommended reading – it started off as a ‘what are some books recommended by the Bungie dudes who worked on Halo?’, but has since branched off a bit – the thread is FULL of recommendations of all sorts of good Sci-Fi (and other stuff). Dave Candland tossed in a list he compiled during an internal email exchange at Bungie, and mnemesis cleaned it up a bit (and combined it with an older list Bungie actually published). If you’re looking for summer reading – check out this thread.(Louis Wu 09:52:38 UTC)
