News Roundup For November 8, 2005
On the eve of Halo 2's first anniversary, most of the hype isn't about what Bungie is doing, but what Microsoft is doing to get ready the vehicle for whatever Bungie does next: the Xbox 360. We've got:

Bungie Aren't Being Jerks
Frankie's Weekly What's Update at Bungie.net promises that the lack of information about.. whatever it is they're doing isn't just to spite us all:
We're torn between two goalposts (worst metaphor ever!) which are; waiting til' we're comfortable about talking about it, and being very busy making it. I know that's frustrating, but it's a complicated business and we're not just being jerks.
Ninjas Like Zombies
HBOer N1NJ4 wrote a review of Wideload's Stubbs The Zombie. The mostly-positive review says that Stubbs is as gross as it is engrossing:
No Zombie Is An Island
The Hilton Head IslandPacket has a nice review of Stubbs the Zombie up that has two major negative points: one, it spoils part of the plot of the game in its second paragraph, and two, it suggests that because the game is too short, it's a better rental than a purchase. (This is what happens when you play Halo engine games on "Easy"--Ed.)
Cavegirls Send Bungie Back To Stone Age
Frankie was quick to point out (as usual) that the (disastrous) results of the latest Humpday Challenge are up at Bungie.net.
The Cayote Cavegirls took two games out of three against Bungie, with the second game being a draw due to a power outage. In the words of Frankie:
The Great Pumpkin, Is That You?
Voting has now begun in HBO's Haloween pumpkin-carving contest. Go get started, and be sure to click on the thumbnails and look at all the large images.
Guns, Butter, And Zombies
Joseph Blancato at the WarCry Network has put up a review of Stubbs the Zombie called That's Not Eisenhower-Era Behavior. He found the game quite underappreciated, as well as its main character, Stubbs, whom he likened to a zombified James Dean (hence the title):
Glenda Adams, Part Deux
Randall "Bat" Schwebke has put up the second part of Wideload Games dot Org's interview with Aspyr's Glenda Adams. Aspyr is now working on the Mac and PC versions of the game, which was released last month on the Xbox. Of note: the game is shipping for the Mac on a single DVD, but the PC version is shipping on 3 CDs.
Bungie's WETA Story Becomes A Trilogy
Joe Staten has written the third part of his Great Hollywood Journey article at Bungie.net; this one talks about the superb craftsmanship that he, Don Parsons, and Steve Schreck witnessed at WETA Workshops.
The next installment should include information about possible directors for the film.
Stubbs Is Sickeningly Fun
The Associated Press' roundup of Halloween themed games mentioned Stubbs the Zombie's "rampant, demented humor" (sounds like there's a Bungie fan there--Ed.) but used the other r-word as well.
