It’s autumnal ‘round these parts and Seattle autumn is pretty awesome when there’s not a slow drizzle of chill-inducing rain coming from the big man in the sky’s bladder. The upside, and there always is one my dear angst-filled reader, is that it’s sweater weather. Japan and its humidity were borderline insufferable, my kind – the battle-hardened Lithuanians tempered by the frozen tundra of Northern Michigan - don’t fare well in the heat, and in kind, I didn’t fare well in the land of the Rising Sun. Around here, Boy Wonder looks like he walked straight out of the winter spread from J.Crew. I’ve never seen a sweater with so many buttons. Seriously, sweaters and buttons – it’s the chocolate and peanut butter of fashion.
Weather report aside, here’s the Doppler readout on Halo 3: Recon since we last spoke.
- Dorje showed us all how cool a 3D Cube could be.
- In lieu of the lightmapper, Milton and Ken are brokering a better way to shingle a building.
- Dan Miller is out back taking a break from the most expensive game of hacky sack in the world to think about pimping his ride.
- Vic has a thing for Zebras.
- CJ Cowan just made a Brute Chieftain introduce the business end of his Hammer to some dudes.
- Mat is doing “almost nothing except for making the cache system build a faster environment and adding per-bsp scenario resources to make it easier for multiple artist to paint in the fun.” Yep, almost nothing.
- A whole bunch of men are building bridges to nowhere.
- Scott Shepherd is making a better face; not a butter face.
- Marty is taking a break from making Halo 3: Recon music to score his daughter’s wedding.
- Steve Scott is venting his frustrations over Milton’s future Ford Taurus by photoshopping Bungie staff into the cast of The Watchmen.
