Out of the Blue

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.

I remember, some beta around the time of developing the first HALO. I could have sworn it was a HALO PC beta?

Try Mac OSX

I wonder what happened to the hands of the Myth dev team. Maybe their hands were blown to bits by a dwarf satchel charge.

Yeah, that Alien Lego is pretty goddamn sweet.

And you can't really blame Doug for that little lie. Whenever you see one corporation acquire another you always see those sorts of corporate-speak lies.

You're not thinking of Marathon?

No no no.

It was around the same time as HALO, and had the same type of graphics as HALO, too.

*edit*
I think I might be an idiot thinking of TRIBES 2.

Really like to see Craig Kilborn and John Henson back on tv......

Once you go on to the next level, you'll never be able to go back. So make your choice wisely.

True words of wisdom....this gamer is obviously older than their years indicate.
