A quick viewing of the Bungie-related clip from Inside the Xbox by Film Oasis, as shown on the Discovery Channel and now available for download, reveals a few points about Halo 2, the sequel:
The last couple of rants on community, statistics and player rankings in Narc's Retorts prompted longtime Bungie fan and Rampancy reader Bullseye (author of the compendious tome known as the Myth 3 Buglist) to go look up a History of Bungie he wrote that touches on the idea of what the Bungie community is, and the relationship between a game and its community.
According to SketchFactor, there's another edition of Ask The Cananimators up at Bungie.net; I think this is the third installment. It's about bacon again. And hockey.
Halo: Truth and Reconciliation has two holiday cards from Bungie, one made by Shiek in 2001 (happy holidays, human), and the other by Paul Russel (infected with joy). Both cards are in Bungie's art gallery.

The spotlights section at The Junkyard has two new entries: Barak from HaloPlayers and Dinky from HaloJuggalo. Thanks Mhaddy.
SketchFactor wrote that they expected Bungie.net to be down for upgrades on the 18th; however, Achronos now says this has been delayed a bit.

Marty O'Donnell of Marty's Army fame is having a 2-year anniversary party for Halo. Apparently some Halo 2 info will be on tap. Thanks HBO.
The second batch of Halo figurines, including Green and Red Master Chiefs, an Elite (with Needler and Plasma Rifle) and the Ghost, has now shipped. The collection also includes the Jackal, which we noted on the Bungiecam earlier. Thanks SketchFactor.
The third installment of Lorraine "Mehve" McLees' report from the Anime Reactor convention is up at Bungie.net.
