Cunbelin let us know that bungie.net has a poll up asking what the best time of day would be for another trade show-connected Fanfest. I wonder if they're considering E3?

Assorted Store problems have been dealt with. Here's the current state of affairs, as swiped from their front page:

Problems with the Bungie Store? Bungie's Yeroen posted an update on the store's status, and addressed a few of the concerns voiced since shorty after the store opened up. Among them:

If you're on a Mac and you don't want to wait for all the Store compatibility bugs to be fixed (apparently these are primarily due to the M$ front-end software, so it's Microsoft's task to fix them--which they're plugging away at), you can now dig up an old copy of Netscape 4.0 and use that to order.

Also, the store should accept Canadian addresses by tomorrow.

Computer Gaming World is celebrating its 20th Anniversary and 200th issue with a look backward into the history of gaming. One article, titled What a Long, Strange Blip It's Been , starts off with an image of Halo superimposed over an old black & white image and goes on to discuss some of the greatest games of all time.

The Bungie Store was a place to purchase all the Bungie loot you could possibly desire, but it was closed shortly after Bungie was acquired by Microsoft. Its demise left many fans with a teary eye. However, it has returned and is accepting Oni orders! Be sure to place your order quickly so you can get the free Konoko door poster!

If you're still not sure what to think about Oni, you can check out three more reviews from HappyPuppy (thanks, Cody Miller), Stomped and Game Over. If you've been reading earlier reviews, though, you won't see much that's new; same praise, same complaints, same mixed-but-positive-overall opinions.

Lophan posted to our community forum that the terribly cool AdCritic site has listed the companies that are expected to be advertisers in SuperBowl XXXV... and Microsoft is currently not one of them. That means no X-Box and no Halo in between the plays. Bummer.
