It was on this day in 2000 that Microsoft announced the acquisition of Bungie. I was intrigued by this quote from a Q&A we did at the time with Doug Zartman: "The decision about what platforms Halo and future Bungie games will be developed for remains in the hands of Bungie Studios, in the hands of the teams developing them. In Halo's case the decision has not been made yet."

R.I.P.: Ind. football coach Terry Hoeppner dies.
