This made me laugh. Thanks, Narc.(Louis Wu 16:38:44 UTC)

Running a bit late this morning – sorry. Black Six noticed yet another update to Isaac Hannaford’s blog – check out the Sabre concept art! This one started in 2D, but was mocked up in 3D because he wanted to be sure the model held up from all angles.(Louis Wu 16:36:39 UTC)

The Achievement Hunter team has posted Achievement HORSE #25 – it’s just PIG this week, because they’re really really busy right now, but in general they’re happier even when they die. Go watch! Thanks, ZZoMBiE13.(Louis Wu 21:36:05 UTC)

I go and I say I won’t get behind on Bungie Comm Chatter offerings, and then I almost miss today’s. Goodness. Swing by for a Halo 3/Reach community montage from tranQ and Friends – seven minutes of mellow music and quick-cut editing.(Louis Wu 20:52:13 UTC)

FyreWulff sent us a note about a new Fire Team Zulu challenge – we missed it. Take it out on the Covenant! Two Birds, One Stone gives you the opportunity to snag a brand-new achievement on the FTZ site – “Mirror, Mirror” is unlocked when you complete the FTZ challenge on the same day that a matching challenge is up on Bungie.net. LD Winter is live until 3am PST tomorrow morning – so get to work!(Louis Wu 19:57:45 UTC)

DHalo dug up a pretty interesting interview with Mrs Doublefire, over at 2old2play – this was published last September, but it’s the first I’m hearing about it. Mrs Doublefire is a name that might be familiar to some – he was a major player in the Halo PC building community, and later worked for Bungie as an environment artist on Halo 3 and Reach. It’s a fascinating discussion explaining how he got hired (through a contract agency), how Halo 3 would have been different without him, and more. (Did you know that Corvette was the geometry they used to make the ‘Deliver Hope’ trailer? I can see it now, but I certainly didn’t know it before.) Go read!(Louis Wu 18:56:50 UTC)

Cody Miller has decided to put together a list of changes that would need to be made to correct the continuity breaks that Reach introduced into the Halo universe. It’s a pretty small list. Go see if you agree with it! Update: Oops, I read the post carelessly. Cody didn’t write this – he simply brought it to us. The author is William Swartzendruber.(Louis Wu 18:24:45 UTC)

Willy let us know that he’s put up a new 20 Questions interview on CE United – this one is with GodlyPerfection, probably best known for his Forge Lessons. Go give it a read!(Louis Wu 18:20:31 UTC)

This was the only way we knew how to make everything just OK.

I pulled a gun at the world today.

Longest interview ever.

We missed yesterday’s posts at Bungie’s Comm Chatter – urk’s back in town and updating again! Here’s what you’ll find if you mosey on over:

• A Minecraft user (and his friends) built a huge recreation of a UNSC Frigate – then made an exhaustive video showing you the details.
• Gamers Outreach Foundation has teamed up with The Game Fanatics to raise money to buy a portable gaming kiosk that will be donated to the Dallas VAMC. Swing by their site for more details!

We’ll try not to get behind again.(Louis Wu 15:27:28 UTC)

INSANEdrive noticed a little retrospective on Bungie’s early days over at Kotaku – if you weren’t around in the early 90s, you might have missed this stuff! Go see where they came from.(Louis Wu 15:06:33 UTC)

AlphaGamma stopped by to let us know that Frostbite Chapter 5 is now live. (The last one we mentioned was Chapter 3, back on April 2 – you can find a link for Chapter 4 in his post, as well.) Nice work!(Louis Wu 15:03:45 UTC)

NeoGAF’s Booshka pointed out a montage from Ninja, a current player on Final Boss – the man is frighteningly accurate with a sniper rifle. (That’s not to say he’s a slouch with ANY other weapon.) Gameplay, in general, is over the top. (That’s a good thing.) Go watch.(Louis Wu 15:00:21 UTC)

SonGoharotto stepped up the pace a bit on his rewrite of the Halo storyline – Two Betrayals is live a scant three days after The Library. Reactions continue to be positive – go check it out!(Louis Wu 14:51:39 UTC)
