The end… of something.
KP announced last night that irc.bungie.org is closing its doors. Those doors opened almost five years ago, over at Homelan… and it’s been a good run. It’s time, though, to move along. For the next few days, the name will redirect to irc.adelais.net, a server run by some friends and members of the Halo community. Repoint your bookmarks… because even the redirect is going soon. Huge thanks go out to KP for his maintenance of this home for HBO-related chat (and, by the time the doors closed, for many, many other Halo sub-communities) – and thanks, too, to all who’ve visited and contributed.(Louis Wu 10:41:20 UTC)

Halo 3 Everything you Know is Wrong
Over at the Bungie Blog, urk highlighted a video which I found to be hilarious and well-made – Pattythedog615 created ‘Halo 3 Everything you Know is Wrong‘, a video that uses Halo 3, Gary’s Mod (a Half-Life 2 mod), and a Weird Al song to show you that nearly anything is possible in Halo machinima. Go watch! (Louis Wu 10:36:31 UTC)

No Double XP this Week
Bungie has a note explaining that due to some rollout issues with the January update (which should be pretty cool!) there won’t be a Double XP playlist this weekend… but there WILL be a new batch of playlists on Tuesday. Seems worth the tradeoff to me!(Louis Wu 23:51:53 UTC)

Podtacular Leadership Conference
Hey there Podtacular! The next conference is happening in a few weeks. I’m putting this up now so that you guys have plenty of time to get submissions in. I know a bunch of the things that we talked about haven’t happened yet, but we’re putting the hammer down this time. So send in your opinions and ideas. I’ll stick them up on the list of things to look at.
Also, we’ve been contemplating whether or not to broadcast the conference on an audio stream. Who here would really tune in to listen to us talk for two hours?

Top 10 Things We Hate About Gaming
Morpheus noticed that GameDaily has a feature called ‘Top 10 Things We Hate About Gaming‘ – Halo makes the list twice. (Well, not really. The first time it makes the list, it’s because a picture of Halo is shown on a point card – it’s the CARD they’re complaining about.)(Louis Wu 17:58:35 UTC)
