Grab your ankles…
Wow. Team Carbon didn’t feel like they had enough of a challenge in standard matchmaking… so when this game started up, they continually committed suicide until they were down 57 kills (17 to -40; the other team got credit for a bunch of their deaths, by getting a shot or two in before they died). At that point, they started playing for real… and pulled out the win, 50-49. You can watch the entire game from Snipedown’s point of view. Thanks, CyReN. (Louis Wu 18:27:06 UTC)

Halo 4 Play Event Impressions
Took a little longer than I’d expected, but I’ve summarized what i can remember from the NYC Halo 4 event I was lucky enough to have been invited to last week. You can find it in our Miscellaneous section. Not sure how much new content is in there… but at the very least, it’s a central location for what I’ve said so far.(Louis Wu 14:43:39 UTC)

Goodies from Bungie
So being gone last week meant that Bungie’s website didn’t get the love it normally does from me – and there’s been quite a bit of new content recently.- The Bungie Forum Tryhards had a ridealong last Thursday – DeeJ got a chance to play some Reach matchmaking with folks who consider it their calling to help others get better at the game.
- A new Mail Sack went live on Friday – there are weird questions and even weirder answers. Those people are ODD.
- The latest Breaking In went live last night – Darren Bacon is a Senior Concept Artist who likes cars and t-shirts. I mean, really – what else is there?
- Over on YouTube, Bungie posted Behind the Scenes: Making of Halo 2, the documentary that could previously be found bundled with the Limited Edition version of Halo 2. If you haven’t seen this, it’s absolutely worth the hour or so. (And hey – I’m in it!)
For a totally dark studio… they’re pretty full of stuff. CONTENT! FULL OF CONTENT!(Louis Wu 14:26:07 UTC)
