...the lazy do news roundups. Here's what didn't quite manage to slip past us in the past few days, hours, or even weeks:
Death by intelligence.

Tough Choices For The Arbiter
After three levels of action on Earth, Halo 2 does two unexpected things: it takes the Master Chief away from humanity's homeworld unexpectedly, and it places the player in the size 14 horseshoes of The Arbiter, the once-disgraced Covenant Elite commander blamed for the destruction of Installation 04 now tasked with impossible missions that his Prophet Hierarch leaders believe-- and perhaps even hope-- will claim his life.
Bungie Drops The Ban Hammer
The big news in this week's What's What Weekly Update by Frankie over at Bungie.net isn't who's playing Halo 2, it's who won't be playing Halo 2 anymore. Frankie says that Bungie has just banned thousands of players for cheating, network exploits, foul language or player abuse.
And on a side note, the latest Halo Babies comic explains why some of those people might have been banned...
Bungie Picks On Old People, Wins
No doubt smarting from serious wounds to their pride from previous Humpday Challenges, Bungie this week decided to knock down some senior citizens trying to cross the street on walkers challenge the Geezer Gamers to some Halo 2.

Marathon Windows Files Available, Too
The Marathon Trilogy Release site at Bungie.org has added .zip files especially for Windows users who want to play Marathon 2 or Marathon Infinity using the Aleph One engine on their PCs. To play Marthon 1 using Aleph One, you need to get the M1A1 scenario conversion by Raul Bonilla.
Wreaking Havok With Physics
Filefront has interviewed Steve Collins, CTO at Havok, the company that makes the Havok physics engine used in many games, including Halo 2. An important note is that their measuring stick for what is "right" is what game designers think feels correct, not necessarily scientific accuracy.
This Week At Bungie.net
Lots of things going on at Bungie.net this week; more themes and avatars for Groups, requests for fan strategy tips from SketchFactor, and Stosh's birthday.

Bungie Frees Marathon Trilogy For Release
New Bungie fans who wanted to experience Bungie's earlier science fiction shooter classic, Marathon, up until now were out of luck. The vast majority of stores simply didn't have it for sale, and only a few copies turned up now and then on Ebay. And although a marvelous new project, Aleph One, would allow the game to run on modern operating systems, you still needed the data files from a retail copy of the game to make them work, and only the files from Marathon 1 were available online, in the form of the M1A1 scenario download.
