FyreWulff is going to try and hit 7,777 games played on Xbox LIVE on Bungie Day, July 7 – he’s starting tomorrow morning. (As of right now, he’s got 7,343 games played – I don’t think he could have asked for a better (more Bungie-ish) starting place.) He’s got 12 days to play 434 games… that’s a non-trivial task, given that he’s planning on playing every single one of those as legit games. (If you figure 10 minutes a game, average, you’re looking at 72 hours of playing time, spread over 12 days – that’s 6 hours per day, every day.) If you play with him during this time (and aren’t disqualified by a few simple rules), you’re in the running for some cool prizes. Check out his post for all the details!(Louis Wu 21:26:57 UTC)

Bungie.net has put up an article showing off a very cool large-scale Sandbox map created by GhaleonEB – go check out screenshots and an interview, with lots of good info from Ghaleon himself.(Louis Wu 21:12:15 UTC)

Buttskunk noticed a feature at Pwn or Die – Master Chief gets some High School Senior pictures taken! Bizarro.(Louis Wu 14:54:26 UTC)

CaLL Me ZeNy, who, apparently, is angling for the HBO foreign correspondent position, let us know about an interpretation of the ODST mechanic in Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. The guy’s still gotta work on that landing (I’d hate to be in the pod when it hits), but the drop is pretty cool!(Louis Wu 13:43:19 UTC)
