IH8BUNGIE
When I first heard about Halo 2 (well over a year ago), they said to expect a late 2003 release. Then they thought it might be out in time for Christmas. Then I believe they said early 2004. Then they told me April. Now it's pushed back all the way to "Late 2004" and with the tease date of September 15th. Since E3 last May, the only thing released that shed any light on Halo 2 was Eric Nylund's book, First Strike, but we really haven't seen a whole lot of new info. I think we should kill ourselves one by one in Bungie's parking lot until they let us watch some new stuff or something.

Marathon Vs Doom Poll At GameSpy
Let's show the gaming world that Marathon fans still know how to smash a poll like in the old days. A GameSpy Title Fight match is on now between two old school 2.5D shooters: Id Software's Doom and Bungie's Marathon. Right now Doom is way ahead, so Bungie needs your help to keep its reputation for being next in line for world domination.
Bungie Humor
The Halo-related comics scene exploded in 2003, and in 2004 is still expanding. And if you count those comics that are related to Bungie or members of the extended Bungie community, it's an even bigger phenomenon.
Here's a list of links we've compiled of Bungie-related comic sites. Several are hosted at HBO; some have their own sites.
In addition to the comics, there are two popular and well-known video series.

Master Chief Portrait By Marathon Artist
[image:3572 left hspace=5 vspace=5 border=0]Back in the day Craig Mullins was responsible for a lot of the absolutely kick-ass art associated with Bungie Software's products, most notably their series of SF 3D shooters (sounding familiar?) for the Mac; yes, Marathon.

Plasma Is A Dish Best Served Cold
Louis Wu at HBO has pointed out a writeup of the Offensive Tetraboxing LANfest he held recently. This one's by CYBRFRK, and it's called Cold plasma still sticks... Friendship, loyalty and gaming - the ideology of bungie.org. The writeup is great, and so are the photos.
