One of the features we've been able to add with the last site upgrade is an automated way of adding image galleries, something that we never had the time to do consistently here at Rampancy.

So far we have galleries for Halo, Halo 2, and Myth; there's also a community gallery that currently is home to photos from the Are You Big Enough LANfest held this past July, as well as a hack gallery that contains the latest images BOLL has created with his crazy hexediting skills.

Rampancy Version 3 is now online. There have been a few changes to some parts of the site most users will be familiar with, such as the forum. We'll be presenting some tutorials on how the new site works, as well as on many of the new features, such as the image galleries, e-mail notifications, private messaging, and many others.

In addition, for some users who want them we will be working on creating templates for areas like the forum so that the appearance of the old site will be preserved; when these are ready we'll post about them as well.

Yes, the inevitable has finally happened.

No, not the release of Halo on the Mac and PC, although that will still happen.

Direct from the keynote webcast comes the long awaited announcement, and the beginning of something new (or the continuation of something great).

In a demonstration that (despite the two interruptions, 2 fps, and the fact that I'd managed to see it before) floored me, Bungie's Jason Jones unveiled Halo, their new in development game. Halo, nee Blam.

After a lengthly design phase, the Core is finally online. And there was much rejoicing.

The first of it's kind (I think), the Core is/will be a news and resource site following and reporting on Bungie's new game, Blam. Currently in development, Blam has not yet been officially announced--we're here to cover the development and that eventual announcement, as well as the life of the game following release (and maybe even a sequel! ;).
