It’s about 15 minutes old and weighs a hefty 1.35 GB, and you can get your copy for free on XBL. The Bioshock television trailer is also available from gametrailers. The SD version is below and the HD version is available for download here. Additionally, Major Nelson interviews Ken Levine of Irrational Games about Bioshock and the demo in his latest podcast. What a pleasant Sunday evening surprise.

Tragic story gets worst.
A few weeks ago I posted a story of a guy who’s gamertag was Coreyfear. His house was burned down and he was left with no clothes or furniture. Well, I am sad to announce that he lost his wife. His wife was shot by her ex-boyfriend in Staten Island. The article is on the Daily News and NY Post.
This is a tragic turn of events for Eugene. I really feel that the Xbox community should do something to help him and his family in some form of way. I would like to collect some money and buy a reef for the funeral. I spoke to him twice since his house burned down and he was so shocked at the amount of love he and his family was getting throughout the community.
Let me know if any of you can help.

Master Chief…..FLAME-ON!
IGN has Halo 3 news. New weapon (sorta) and 4th grenade type.
- The Flamethrower from Halo:CE PC
- The Flame Grenade
The flamethrower is handled like a turret so you will be controlling from 3rd person.
“The flamethrower does things that just weren’t possible in Halo 2. This is, more or less, a living flame. “If you shoot a pillar, the liquid in the flamethrower will adhere to it and burn there,” O’Connor explained. “Likewise with the floor and with bad guys. It will cause continual damage to a vehicle. When the flames start to cool down and evaporate, it stops causing damage. If you’re lucky enough to keep it on a Warthog, then you will in fact take it down with a flamethrower.”
Personally, I think the grenade is pretty rad it will mix things up. The flamethrower kinda meh, but I will have to use it first. I never really liked the movie “Aliens” which I think inspired a lot of flamethrower love.

Dialogue – now characterized
Captain Spark took it upon himself to clean up our Halo 2 Dialogue Databank; he characterized all of the generic dialogue snippets (‘marines’, ‘marines_female’, ‘elites’, ‘grunts’, etc) into their more specific categories, based on Marty’s character breakdown. There are still a few snippets in the general categories, but the vast majority are now where they should be. Whew! Great job, Spark!(Louis Wu 13:03:33 UTC)

Trying and failing to be edgy and mature
The Bungie Weekly Update is online – and man, it’s a tasty one. There are seven panels from the upcoming first Halo: Uprising comic (man, does it look nice), and there are a whole bunch of questions taken off our forum last night, answered to a greater or lesser degree. Some of the things that jumped out at me: music is “99% finished” and in the game, the Arbiter will NOT be invulnerable when he’s playing with you, and Grunts reproduce frantically. Go read more! (If you read it in our Weekly Update Archive, the facing pages are already nicely stitched together for you, so that when you click on the smaller version, you’ll get more than half of the larger version.)(Louis Wu 00:57:43 UTC)
