Fun in the Swamp
Rockslider stopped in with word of some fun he’s having on 343 Guilty Spark – go see!(Louis Wu 19:44:24 UTC)

Bzzt! Moves
A few days ago, our main forum was invaded by some UNSC characters from our future – and the game was afoot. Yesterday, some of the participants decided it might be more productive if the interaction moved to the args.bungie.org forum – set up for just this sort of activity, a few years ago. The principals were amenable, so as of now, if you’re interested in interacting with ISitInA, Hive, and the others, jump on over and get involved! (Louis Wu 19:43:11 UTC)

Saying goodbye to HIH
Tech Artist and Shad0wflame want to help High Impact Halo go out with a bang; they’re trying to get as many people as possible to log in on the final day of action, so that the ‘users logged in in the past 24 hours’ list is huge for perpetuity. Go read about how you can participate! Thanks, Skulk.(Louis Wu 19:42:43 UTC)

CruelLEGACEY Weekly Wrapup
CruelLEGACEY let us know that he’s got a weekly wrapup on his site, for all the stuff he’s posted this week. Swing by to see if you missed anything. (Looks like he’s not going to release any more Fails of Reach videos until the last one (released about a month ago) gets front-paged on Bungie.net. Hmm…) (Louis Wu 19:42:20 UTC)

March 29 Can’t Come Fast Enough
The Bungie Weekly Update is live – and it’s full of rainbows and unicorns. And charity bracelets, and mappack shilling, and good news about firefightin’. The REALLY awesome news is all about upcoming Matchmaking changes – but don’t skip out on the All-Star Contest entries. Or the very humorous Blame Stosh. As always, you can read it in our Weekly Update Archive – but wherever you read it, make sure you do read it. Good stuff.(Louis Wu 02:58:11 UTC)

Fails of the Weak Volume 26
Achievement Hunter’s Fails of the Weak 26 is now online – I think the Elite’s head through the barrel is my favorite. Lots of Firefight and Campaign fails this week. Thanks, ZZoMBiE13. (Louis Wu 21:15:55 UTC)

Frostbite Chapter 2: The Ruins
AlphaGamma stopped in to announce that Frostbite Chapter 2 has been released. In the cold-and-getting-colder world of Frostbite, the mystery of John Eden’s death grows. Nice cinematography!(Louis Wu 18:08:30 UTC)

Beast-Mode Ep 2: King
John Battle told us about Beast-Mode Episode Two: King. If you didn’t watch the pilot, this will make very little sense. Jude takes on Steve King – and amazingly, qualifies for the tournament.(Louis Wu 17:37:35 UTC)
