Myth You can lead a cowboy to dust, but you can't make him bite it. Not unless you have The Wild West plugin for Myth II:Soulblighter that is. Check out the glowing prerelease review posted today by "Inside Mac Games" and see for yourself why Myth gamers have been impatiently sitting on their tippy cheeks in rabid, frothing anticipation of this amazing Myth II PDCTATC (Pretty Damn Close To A Total Conversion). You can visit the home page of the The Wild West at "The Mill". The Wild West Plugin will be released on October 7th so keep yer eyes on the horizon pardner. Marathon The Story page has some great news today conerning the "4" items currently in progress. Special thanks to Miguel. Oni Some pretty big news coming out of Bungie West. Make sure to check out the Oni site this morning. More updates later on. |

Late Updates-7:19p.m. #77777 Who was this visitor today? Perhaps you might still have the page cached? If you were visitor #77777 then make sure to mail us. Halo Some Next Generation screens have been scanned in. Special thanks to Clem Freeman for the scan. We also opened up a mirror today due to the heavy traffic that was experienced after the MacLedge article. Thanks to Iniside Mac Games and MacLedge for the PR. Oni On the Oni site today there is some very good fan art. A Konoko that was created using the very first Konoko image. It's worth a look especially for those out there that has been tracking Konoko from the very beginning. The Oni forums are going strong. More posts now on a daily basis shows that Halo hasn't pushed Oni out of the "spotlight" . Marathon Island four today all over the Marathon Story page. The extents that some are going to are incredible. Now it seems that maybe this term has been taken from the book Gulliver's Travel. Get on over there and check it out. Myth A Myth domain is up for grabs. The free for all last night was "wild" as told to me. I chose not to participate only for the reason of sheer numbers that would be logged on. The Myth site has all the particulars along with some new plugins. Mill Navigation at The Mill couldn't be easier these days. The new interface is now much more compact and the use of cookies makes this site one of the very best around. Halo Some breaking news over at Halo.org. (?) More screens have been sent in. I found these in my drop box on the bungie org hotline server. I need to make sure I credit them to whoever the kind soul was that put them there. They seem to be from The Next Generation Mag. Along with some very good art posted, the Halo site gets a bit of a face lift? Or maybe just some added page art. Marathon We are now proud to announce another Hotline Server that is now online on the tracker Hltracker.com. Marathon is now up and running and serving nothing but Marathon files. Run by our good friend Rugger, (James Pillar), this hotline server is linked to our other bungie.org server via a chat bot. So, if you need Marathon files or any of the other Bungie files, you can visit via the chat bot with everyone that are on both servers. Just another technological marvel in our continuing quest to "hord" everything Bungie! (just kidding!) And I really am just kidding. Need Hotline? Go here. Hotline Bungie org servers are on hl.tracker.com Oni New forums! As we prepare for October, which I truly believe will be a BIG Oni month, our Oni site is beginning to be rebuilt. This time though, it will be a work in progress and there will be no down time. So, as to the forums, if a link color or background color isn't quite right, be mindful that we are still "at work" on the site. Special thanks to the "Bungie Org Engineer" Claude Errera for his help on this. More updates later today as this will prove to be a big day.......hmmmm...good thing the counter isn't noticed by anyone. |

Halo An all call on the Halo forums this morning for all to join up with the Halo team. (SETI). Okay Mad Max, I will spread the word. More Paris info today. Make sure to stop by the forums, this talk about the Halo movie is really starting to heat up. Now, who started this rumour anyway? Halo Movie Speak Your Mind! Myth New editors are out for Myth. Fixed some links on the Myth page and updating is now moving along. The Wild West seems to be attracting some people, the download count yesterday on the movie was staggering. Maybe I can get the creator to give me some more info on all this. |

Bungie Org Moves After six weeks, we now finally have a home. All sites except the Halo and the Mill will be going off line tonight so I can physically move the machines tomorrow to their new home. We should be back tomorrow. The new IP's won't be resolving until probably very late ...but keep trying we will be here. Thank you for staying with us during this time. |

Welcome Back! First of all special thanks to everyone during our down time. Although I will have to admit most of our email has been titled "Where is the Mill?", there has been some that has been directed to bungie org. We are glad everyone enjoys the Mill so much. Matter of fact, it was Randal Shaw that helped us get back up online as soon as we did. Special thanks to Fm once again. A moment of truth here concerning Bungie Org. We would have probably been back up weeks ago if I would have gone ahead and decided to accept sponsors One of the finest qualities about this site is it's freedom of banners, advertisements and sponsor links. I have tried to keep Bungie Org very "clean" in this area and I know this is one of the reasons that we have the "family of sites" here. The individual maintainers really appreciate this and they are here partly because of it. I held fast to my convictions concerning this area and thus, the downtime took longer then expected. Where are we now? Well, obviously not where we really wanted to be. Matter of fact, we are not quite through with our move yet. Some of the servers are on connections that are not "ideal" to bungie org standards and a few of them have yet to be moved. They will be moved soon and hopefully , this time , the move will go as we had originally planned. It should be seamless with just a minor amount of down time if any at all. I will be keeping you advised of when the last part of the move takes place. If you would like more info on all this or, if you would like to help, email me. Now on to the important news. By the way, if all our sites don't work for you yet, just be patient, they should very soon. Marathon All the individual maintainers should be getting back to their sites very soon. The Story page is on holiday these two weeks, but the Scenario News and Recruits has been updated. They were updated right before we went down, so you should find some new news there. Oni Lots of updates here. A whole months worth. Make sure you jump over and catch up. Some new Oni news should be coming soon! Halo A new movie from Mac Observer. New images, new banners and a lot of posts on the Halo forums. Enough said, make sure to check it out. The PC Paradox Vote poll now has Halo in first place. Not too bad. Special thanks to DraftShadow <hammy1@bigplanet.com>, for the update. Myth The Mill..what can I say. Just make sure to take a look.. Some cool new plug ins. Our Myth page should be caught back up very shortly. |

Bungie.org Well, if you are reading this, then you have found us again. After 16 days of being down, we have crawled our way back up on the internet. Let it be known though, that this is not the end of all this. We are still not finished with all the moving, but, for the time being we are up and working. Many thanks to Randal Shaw, Claude Errera, Gary Simmons and Hamish Sinclair. Their patience and help during this time was incredible. Thanks Guys! Myth The Mill should start resolving again very soon. If you can't find it right now, you will be able to shortly. Make sure to catch up on all the great things that has been going on. Marathon The Story page is on vacation. But, the other pages should be accessible soon. They have been updated since this down time. Oni Updates every day. The Quinn series and some great info has been posted. Halo This site stayed up during the whole time. If you have missed the forums or any part of it, make sure to take some time to get caught up. |

Deja Vu Redux Seems like the only updates we make these days are to let you know the site is back up again... hopefully, that sort of update is over and done with. (We're back up again.) Bungie Sells 20% to Take Two! Take-Two Interactive Sofware is buying almost 20% of Bungie! Take-Two gets a chunk of the hottest gaming company around... Bungie gets access to a serious distribution channel. Read about it here... Halo The Halo page has received yet another makeover... seems there's finally too much info for a single news page. Check it out, let us know how you like it! (There's an amazing amount of news for a game that's still quite a ways out... and this is our only site that didn't fall victim to our recent access problems.) Oni Brent Pease participated in an IMG online chat a couple of days ago... you'll find more info about what did (and didn't) get asked on our Oni page. Marathon Wonder of wonders... new fodder for the Archives! Keep sendin' em in! |

It's Alive... The b.org is alive! (Well, duh, you're reading this...) We've found a temporary home in a small lemonade stand outside Steve's house, and although we're not firing on all cylinders, all websites are back up. (If you make new bookmarks, don't try to be tricky and look up the IP addresses, in case the nameservice goes down... cause the numbers are gonna change yet again in a little while.) Pages should be updated soon... In the meantime, enjoy what's here, and let us know if you find any problems! (Individual site maintainers have been locked out just like everyone else... so pages should be updated over the coming days.) |
| August 2 1999 |
Bungie.org back up! Our downed machines (which included halo.bungie.org, archives.bungie.org, our forums, oni.bungie.org, and our hotline server, among other things) have all been up and running since 7:45 am cst... and running like crazy! Another few gigabytes, out into the ether... sorry for the delay. And thanks for coming back! Halo Halo at bungie.org sports a new Theories page, containing readers' ideas about the halo world... take a look, and submit your own! |
