Kudos to Bullseye, who pointed out an interesting (and rather long) discussion that has popped up at Shugashack following the release of the IncitePC movie. Still reading through it, but Bulls remarked mentioned that there are a lot of jaded people here. At least they cited the FAQ... ;)

It's an old question came up on the forum a little while ago... what to call player groups in Halo. While there is no universally accepted term yet, Bungie webmonkey Yeroen had a few thoughts to offer on the debate. An except from his post:

I actually spelled Minnesota right on the first try! Kudos to JoeDaMac for passing along this announcement:

Myself and a friend have started a Minnesota based Gaming Group. Checkout the site if you want more information about it: www.spacestar.net/~joecoo/mmgg

Here's a (better) description of MMGG from bungie.net:

And it's about time! Hot from the email box is word from IncitePC Senior Editor Bryn Williams that the long taboo movie has been posted along with a preview of Halo, which I'm currently reading through. More on that when I finish.

After it was pointed out on the forum that I had been slacking and not changed the poll in a few weeks, I put out a call for poll suggestions and was pleasantly surprised with the results. This week's poll was Noct's suggestion, and it seems rather appropriate in this lull between Halo news: do you think Bungie's quiet PR strategy is a good thing, or should they be telling us more about Halo?

But you knew that already. Some Halo GURPS spectulation at Marathon's Story, including a call for Photoshop image enhancement experts, and word of a new Halo/Oni preview (lacking any new info, alas) at halo.bungie.org.

Geez people, I didn't mean to literally crash the poll script! Apparently that's what happened, though Stomped is stumped to explain exactly how. Check the PR from E3.Stomped.Com:

Many thanks to Halo.Bungie.Org and Corum Jhaelen Irsei for making the community aware of a new poll at Stomped.Com. They're asking which upcoming title interests gamers the most.

Currently Duke Nukem Forever is leading with 30% of the vote, trailed by Halo at 26%. C'mon guys and gals, get out there and show your support... we can't have the Duke Nukem crowd thinking they'll have a better game than we will. We have not yet begun to vote!
