I'm Back At It
I'm back, and once again cleaning things up a bit around here. Our big new feature for this site is just about to be handed off to our Test team entirely, so hang in there just a little longer. In the meantime when I have a little free time I'm cleaning out chapters that have never shown any signs of life. If you're responsible for one of these then post something to your news already!

Silent Cartographer on Legendary
Silent Cartographer on Legendary
Fresh off the press-
Our Legendary Walkthrough section now has a new chapter:
The Silent Cartographer. Even if you've beaten this level on Legendary, the screenshots are at least worth a look. My personal favorite-
five Elites vs. one rocket.

Gone For A Bit
I'm going to be out of the office starting tomorrow, through all of next week. Don't worry though, I'm leaving you in the more than capable hands of Matt and Candyman. They'll be watching over news and event submissions, chapter submissions, and all of the other little things. If you need anything please contact one of them.
New Caption This! Screenshots
New Caption This! Screenshots
Everyone enjoyed the Halo
Caption This! screenshot feature so much that we've added eight new strange and ridiculous shots. Go flex your captioning might.

Short sleeve Seventh Column T-shirts, that is. See, we do love you. We now have a shorter version of our Seventh Column shirt available in the
Bungie Store. This might be a good time to try out your
40% off discount!
Bungie Store Stock Updates
Bungie Store Stock Updates
The
Bungie Store has had several notable changes over the past few days. First, the Halo Soundtrack is now in stock! Second, we've restocked the surprisingly popular Fishing Bob cap and the "Don't Make Us Kick Your Ass" Bungie shirts. Third, we now carry XXL size Bungie shirts! Quantities are limited, so get yours now.
Write Your Own Captions
Write Your Own Captions
Damn, that's a lame news story title. I guess I wasted all my creative energy coming up with captions and posting them for the world to see using our brand new
Halo Screenshot Captions feature! That's right, now
you can tell
us what's really going on behind the scenes. You can even rate other submissions. We have our first batch of four new screenshots waiting for subtitles, so get busy!

New Job Openings
New Job Openings
Here at Bungie, we've created 3 new [url=/Inside/Page.aspx?section=Jobs&subsection=Main&page=1]job openings[/url] that may be of interest to all, even if you have no intention of applying. If you think you have the skills, then by all means, don't pass this opportunity up.
New Stuff This Week
New Stuff This Week
At long last – the walkthrough you've been waiting for is now available. Level 3: "
The Truth and Reconciliation." This massive (and I mean massive) walkthrough goes through all the detailed instructions on how to beat this level on legendary. The only thing holding you back now is pure skill.
We've also added a new desktop to our
wallpapers section, the art from the new halo T-shirt. A big thanks to Bungie's own Lorraine McLees and Chris Barrett for the design.
Orders For Myth?
Orders For Myth?
Myth.bungie.org is reporting that Team Marius.net and MythForums have teamed up to support Orders for Myth and Myth II on the Marius.net server. Now wouldn't it be helpful if we had a global account system shared between Bungie and all fan sites? Psyrixx thinks it would be.
New Poll
New Poll
I just posted a new poll on the front Bungie.net page. This one is of special interest to Halo fans, so be sure to vote!
And the security patch said NO!
And the security patch said NO!
Well, we had a little problem today. All of our servers had to be rebooted for a quick little patch this evening. Apparently, though, the web server didn't handle it very well and we got some extended downtime. Everything is now working. We apologize for the downtime.
What in the World?
What in the World?
One of my favorite magazines growing up was National Geographic's World magazine. Every issue had a feature called "What in the World?" on the back. This monthly feature would have several extreme close-ups with answers at the bottom of the page. Paying homage to that feature, may I present
12 new Halo screenshots that will keep you guessing where in the Halo I took these. Answers not included. What would be the fun in that?

New Poll Up, Old Poll Results
New Poll Up, Old Poll Results
I just posted a new poll, this time testing your eyesight. Go vote! In older news, 70% of you said you think the Seventh Column needs more organization in the US. 17% of this group responded that they want more organization on the regional level, 54% on the regional and state levels, and 29% on the regional, state, and city levels. So what does this all mean? Well, nothing really. It's just a poll. It was obviously rigged.
Bungie Store Update
Bungie Store Update
For a while there the Mac Action Sack was the hottest selling item in the
Bungie Store. We actually sold out, but then we dug up an old mine shaft full of sackless CD's. They're now available in the Store for an absurdly low $10 bucks!
I know, I know, this sounds like an ad, and we pride ourselves on being ad free. Considering that all profits from the Store (assuming we have any) go right back into our community development fund, however, it's only appropriate. No whining.
When you're at the Store you may also notice that we're sold out of a ton of stuff and a lot of sizes. Some items moved faster than we anticipated, but verything has been reordered and should be available shortly. Even better, we have some new items on the way, and more are being planned. Hang in there!
A Disturbing New Theme
A Disturbing New Theme
I've created another new theme. This one is a little disturbing, though I like it more. Head to
Chapter Founders to check it out.
Warning: This theme contains spoilers!
New PoA Theme
New PoA Theme
A lot of people have requested a Pillar of Autumn theme, so I thought I'd try my hand at it. There's now a new theme available for chapters called "PoA Light". It's certainly not the best theme on the block, but it's my first, so don't give me too hard a time. Head to
Chapter Founders to see it in action.
Recent Downtime
Recent Downtime
Sorry about the downtime we had this morning. Our primary web server apparently fried its power supply. The server was down for approximately two hours while the power supply was being replaced. Everything is running smoothly again, though.
