Someday-Night Grifball… sort of.
Wow. I missed it, because I was out all afternoon… but Someday-Night Grifball was broadcast this afternoon, and the game was XTR3M3 vs L.I.E. (the winner to play Team HBO in Round 3 of the Sword League Playoffs). Looks like L.I.E. took the match – but I’m having trouble actually seeing it (the JustinTV feed is about 1 frame per sec, and the downloadable version seems to be corrupted, or maybe not fully uploaded yet). Maybe check back later!(Louis Wu 23:31:14 UTC)

Today’s installment of Another Halo Comic Strip might give you nightmares, if you’re old enough. ZZoMBiE13 predicted that someone would ask for a wallpaper version… so he made one.(Louis Wu 15:18:03 UTC)

Bungie posted their Weekly Update last night, as usual – there’s teaser artwork from Bungie artists who will be at the Emerald City Comic-Con today, in Seattle, new Bungie Favorites from a community group (and an interview with their leader), a goodbye to a Bungie employee who’s moved on, and some funny pics of Frankie (with an exhortation to photoshop them for Recon). Go see! (You can, of course, read it in our Weekly Update Archive.)(Louis Wu 13:56:15 UTC)

Story of the Forerunners: The Ascendant Justice Blog
—
by
Through Xbox 360 Fanboy and the Bungie weekly update I recently found the above linked blog, Ascendant Justice. The author has painstakingly and thoughtfully compiled the story of the Forerunners from all the information gleaned from the Halo 3 terminals as well as tidbits from other Halo campaigns and lore. The story is not only a great addition to the Halo universe, but is extremely well-written. The author is careful to not turn speculation into fact and notes every part of the story that remains canonically uncertain. If you are a fan of Halo fiction, you need to read this blog.

So I don’t know if any of you have seen this journal by Burnie, but the subject of the “ground pound” gets brought up at least twice a day in our office now. It’s wearing a bit thin. Hopefully something equally annoying will catch Burnie’s attention…
