These quotes from Webcam TV might help. No one says it better than the hand himself:

NOTE: these are posts from a month ago. Times flies by.

By mid September, everyone is back to work, school, etc. Now my question is what is to happen to the webcam? It would make it very difficult to participate in a webcam game like this. Even more when Halo 3 comes out.

It will probably fade away :(

My hope was to keep it going until September 25, or at least until the beginning of September. Nothing lasts forever, and even fun games must end. :(

But better to leave on a high note than a lame one. Once Halo 3 releases, I'm guessing the boards here will be quiet for awhile. Of course, there will be lots of new goodies on the site to play with too.

I really never expected such a fun reaction from my early shenanigans. I'm glad it has reached the height that it has, but all good things must come to an end.

In the next few weeks it is going to be crazy busy around here, so there may not be as much action on the webcams as the entire team will be preparing for Halo 3 deployment. When I first started playing with the webcams I was waiting for a build from the developers to test out, and so I had some time. That time will be decreasing! EEEK!

The cool part is that we all blow off some steam by playing some Halo 3 and shooting one another.

Since Halo 3 went gold, no one really has a reason to be at Bungie Studios, hence the fact that no one is manning the webcams.

aww. I loved playing those things.

But, i guess since they(Bungie) are now reveling in the glory of finishing Halo 3, no one thinks about teh webcams.
Mods can now lock this, i got my info.

I was actually wondering this myself...I'm sad :(

Frank O'Connor is a 12-year veteran of the videogame magazine industry and has therefore never worked an honest day in his life.

Bungie is a ghost town. In fact I've looked every couple of hours and no lights have been on since Wednesday of last week. I expect it to stay that way until next week sometime.

Sorry guys, things have been kinda crazy around the office and I do not see it letting up till after the Halo 3 launch. At that time we will reevaluate what we are going to do with the web cams.

"Cotton thwaps him with the Gravity Hammer, Frankie flies through the air, blood splattering from his corpse, his head snapping back on the ceiling, leaving a bloody imprint on a light fixture and then his body skitters into a gravity lift and is boosted up into the Yellow room."
i love Bungie.

hello MrHand... :)

Sad but true. I hope the webcam game can last. If not, I'll live because I'll have Halo 3 by my side.
