Bungie Weekly Update – Short and Sweet
Last night’s Bungie Weekly Update (viewable, as usual, either on Bungie.net or in our Weekly Update Archive) was pretty simple – Luke and Shishka are off in San Diego for MLG’s tourney there – it covered banning fun, some cool user-created content, a hint about late summer, and a warning about Big Team Battle.

Rock Band has received some great DLC recently. You can see all Rock Band DLC printed in order of release here.
First is the Disturbed pack. Perfect Insanity and Indestructible are particularly good:
Indestructible:
Perfect Insanity:
Click “read more” for videos of all my recommended recent DLC.
Inside the Fire:
Also of note is the DLC coming this Tuesday June 17th.
Avenged Sevenfold, who brought us Beast and the Harlot for Guitar Hero II, has two tracks being released:
Afterlife:
Critical Acclaim:
Crooked X, who has the track Nightmare featured in the bonus tour of Rock Band is releasing “Rock and Roll Dream”
A little bit older is Zero by the Smashing Pumpkins. I’m not a huge Pumpkins fan, but this is one of their best IMO.
Finally, the new Motley Crue single “Saints of Los Angeles” is great for any Crue fan

Syndicated Forum Goodness
So a week or so ago, General Vagueness asked whether our forum had an RSS feed, so that he could keep up on the latest posts without having to drop in and load the main page. There wasn’t one… then. Two long-time contributors jumped in to fill the void – BOLL whipped up a php-based feed, and almost immediately afterwards Ciarán sent along modifications to the actual forum script that created a perl-based feed that’s updated as new posts are made. I kept meaning to combine the best parts of these two scripts – we don’t need two – but life’s been busy this week, so I decided to leave it up to the users. Check ’em both out, decide what you like about each, and add your comments to this thread. we’ll put together a final version based on your recommendations. Thanks, of course, to both Ciarán and BOLL – you guys rock.(Louis Wu 18:26:54 UTC)
