Grin + Bear It – I am.
Today’s Grin + Bear It, at HMB, moves away from tasteless jokes and into the realm of tasteless disability jokes. At least it’s consistent…(Louis Wu 18:58:53 UTC)

Yesterday’s Top Ten Halo 3 Screenshots collection is called ‘Brokeback Time‘, and there are some AMAZING screenshots in there. I think ‘Fractured’ and ‘Demoralized’ are my two favorites – but there’s really not a bad shot in the group. Go look.(Louis Wu 21:48:16 UTC)

There aren’t a lot of comics being updated regularly any more, so fixed-day updates make less sense. GandhiArnold stopped in with a link to MadAtoms, a humor blog. Video Game Speed Dating takes a funny look at various video game characters, and the trials they might have to endure. Master Chief is present.(Louis Wu 21:33:07 UTC)

We also have a super short video that shows you the correct answers to get the Got to Remember! bronze trophy. This trophy is a little tricky because…well, we talk about it in the video.

The Port that Wouldn’t Die
Man, oh man… you write something down and put it on the internet, SOMEONE’s gonna find it. Matt Waggle is a 3D and Concept Artist that’s been working in the game industry for about 5 years. For the first half of 2007, he was working as a contractor on Halo 3. If you check his resume, you’ll see that he’s listed this time as “Halo 3 (X-box 360 and PC)” – which led Game Guru (who found the same info on Matt’s LinkedIn profile) to conclude that Halo 3 PC was in development as late as May 2007. What happened to it? Well, there hasn’t been any word – but other than this snippet, the only evidence that it existed at all has been a banner that appeared on some Microsoft pages showing a picture of Halo 3 in a ‘Games for Windows’ context. In fact, in August 2007, CVG concluded that work hadn’t started yet, since Frank O’Connor had said that Halo 3 PC wasn’t even “a twinkle in [Bungie’s] eye” during an interview at that point. Hmm… Update: Frankie is pretty unequivocal about the status of Halo 3 PC:Halo 3 was not then, and is not currently planned for PC.
In the words of Emily Litella, never mind.(Louis Wu 17:12:46 UTC)

A followup on the BWU…
What does it mean when you feel the need to update your dev blog with a line like “steve cotton is working on one of the craziest things ever in a halo game.” (and absolutely nothing else)? I guess it means Steve’s doing something droolworthy!(Louis Wu 17:09:51 UTC)

Submit your Stuff
We are still having problems getting live streams to work and play nice, so it may be a little while until we get that working. That doesn’t mean that we’re going to keep on doing shows though. This week we’re doing Customs and Creations and possibly one of the last. The Customs and Creations show gets the least amount of submissions, most likely due the age of the game. We will still have Customs and Creations, but it will probably get merged in with Callins and Tales. But enough of my blabber; get your submissions in now using the Big Green Button.
