Rampancy

Waaay down in our community forum, Matt responds to our request for more information on the Bungie Webmaster... and we get much more than we originally expected!

...The real irony is that “Nathan” does not actually exist: he’s a fictional character who we have used to further certain other sinister purposes (which I cannot discuss at this time for obvious reasons)...

Well, my heart goes out to the crew of IslandFour.Org. Guess you guys can all just go home now! The rest of the post is quite entertaining as well. Don't miss it! ;^>

Yup... Some of you have probably noticed that RHL isn't up right now. We apologize for interrupting your social lives, but don't be concerned... both of the servers have been relocated to the host's new location. The web server is already back up, as you can see, but RHL may take a bit longer. We will probably see RHL back up by the end of the business day tomorrow.

This isn't your typical serious news post, but methought this bit of commentary from HBO was too funny. =)

Ding and Crux wheeled me in here to say... hmmm hang on... oh yeah... vote Hamish... that's it. And you can KEEP your stock options Louis! (Wirehead 16:56:15 UTC)I'm with Ding on this one. Hamish gets my vote. (Crux Fidelis 16:41:09 UTC) Not all of us at HBO think that voting for Louis in the Bungie.net poll is a good idea. I mean Louis hasn't paid us any wages yet and we're up to here with his stock options BS. So my vote goes to Hamish. (Ding 16:41:09 UTC)

At Bungie.Net, the current results are: Miguel Chavez takes a close third place with 23% to Rex's 24%. Claude/Louis trails at 17% (But dang, it's nice to be a part of this vote in the first place, I'm sure!) and Hamish [unpronouncable] Sinclair, Grand Master of Jjaro-Do, is spanking the other three with a solid 35% of the vote! Stay tuned.

Well curse me for a lazy slob, and then rejoice! On my first reading of the item at GameStar.de, (reported here) it appeared that Halo would be delayed by four months after the X-Box comes out. It will be delayed... for the PC, that is. According to GameStar's information the X-Box version will be shipping with the X-Box. Happy Day! (Possibly in less than a year? Read on...)

Additionally, some squeakings from the rumor mill suggest that the X-Box may be out in Q2 of 2001, and may only cost $150. If there's any truth to these rumors, then it's time to start selling plasma now!
