Google says we rock.
Heh – over at Google Video, there was an episode of Google Current that aired about a month ago that looked at the subject of ‘net neutrality’ – it talked about how this concept (which is concerned with a possible ‘tiered’ internet, in which higher-paying customers get faster bandwidth) has really only exploded in the last couple of months. During the piece, a recent ‘This Spartan Life’ video blog was discussed (because its focus, too, was net neutrality – we mentioned it here)… the part that amused me was the end of the Google Current clip. “You can watch the whole thing at thisspartanlife.com, and (for now, at least) that video blog loads very quickly.” A throwaway tagline, maybe… but since we’re providing the video hosting for This Spartan Life, it’s still nice to hear. Thanks, Joshua Ary.(Louis Wu 11:19:58 UTC)

Long Form Content
A new Community Spotlight has gone live over at Bungie.net; KP asked a question and a half of Narcogen, and let the guy behind Rampancy.net handle the other 8000 words of the interview. Check it out to see some of the motivation behind one of the longest-running Halo fansites on the web, along with some little-known Bungie history and trivia. As usual when Narc’s writing, a great read.(Louis Wu 00:19:41 UTC)

Get to know Narcogen, maintainer of one of the largest Bungie fan sites, the incredibly hardcore Rampancy.net and one of very few Halo fans in Kazakhstan! Home of Borat! Or not, depending on your point of view.

Gentlemen?
XerxdeeJ stopped by to point out a Reader’s Poll on his Tied the Leader blog; are the weapons glitches that were in the news last week going to remain in your arsenal during custom games (or any non-matchmaking games, really)… or are you going to try and ‘go straight’ across the board? Sound off!(Louis Wu 20:02:59 UTC)

Well, he’s still got his armor… sort of
Testicleez (what sort of name is that, anyway?) posted a series of images showing what happened to his poor Master Chief action figure while he was away from his desk. Let this be a lesson… don’t leave action figures around unattended!(Louis Wu 19:41:47 UTC)

Team SWAT tourney being organized over at Games In Action, a Seventh Column chapter – you need to join the group to sign up, but that’s pretty simple to do if you have a B.net account. There are cash prizes for the top spots. Thanks, marshall (who saw it at Bungie.net).(Louis Wu 19:02:24 UTC)

Halo Trading Cards – on Multiple Fronts
In the past few days, we’ve heard about a couple of different projects involving Halo Trading Cards; oriol003 set up a small tutorial showing how to make your own cards (visit his site for a template), and Dain Ironfoot sent along a link to a pretty in-depth website devoted to a customizable game built in the Halo universe. There are hundreds of cards described in these pages; the one thing they’re missing are graphics of the cards themselves. (Seems like these two groups could get together and make some cool stuff…) Check out both sites – but beware, the second one is really deep, content-wise, and might suck you in.(Louis Wu 16:11:09 UTC)

Resolving Conflicts
Random 15-Year-Old noticed a video on YouTube that purports to be a Halo Intervention – family and friends come together to help a Halo addict remember what’s important in his life. I have a little trouble believing this isn’t a parody… but I guess you never know.(Louis Wu 10:57:08 UTC)

Operation: Clubbed Seal
Slacker Entertainment has released Heroes & Heretics Episode 7, Operation: Clubbed Seal for sponsors (free versions coming in a few days, as usual).

Which you might not see for a little bit; check this page for details on their summer schedule. Commentary vids… can’t wait!(Louis Wu 10:48:28 UTC)
