"Inveniam Viam Aut Facium" _~

if ( !now ){ when(); }

Not to be a big cry baby or anything, but I have no way of viewing the Bungie Publication files.

I only own a Mac, and I do not have Office.

Any suggestions on viewing the files for a Mac?

Can I get the Publication files converted to a PDF file?

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

I laugh.

They make MS Office for Macs, but I'm pretty sure you'd still need some sort of converter since they're in Office 2007 format (*.pptx).

I did a quick Google search for "convert powerpoint pdf" and most of what was listed required you to pay and didn't seem to handle the new Office 2007 formats (*.pptx).

I just found this, it may help. Use at your own risk.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

I tried converting to a PDF when I finally got it open, but acrobat crashed. I'll go back and try to find another export option.

Thats Right I Was Banned For Watching The Webcams Too Much!Combat Arms - X647"He who'd walk a mile just to hold an empty hand, knows what it means to be a wealthy man."
Skin This Place Alive...

I had to convert them into .ppt before I could watch them.
I will upload ad host the files for people to download as .ppt if they cant't watch .pptx (slideshow XML)

Can you open .ppt?

Like RighteousTyrant said, you can convert them at http://www.zamzar.com/ or download them as .ppt (power point presentation) from the link below.


Publications in .ppt format

I couldn't watch them as pptx, but I just changed the extension to ppt and then it worked. No actual conversion seemed necessary.

Here's a pdf of Noguchi's presentation. How does that work for you? Make sure to find the option to view layers, and look at the layer containing his presentation notes. Many of the slides won't make much sense without them.

GT: Greg Is So Hot

This is my first time flipping through the art bits they have published- Christ, Bungie, you've got talent- you have seriously gifted individuals. You look at Epic or Infinity Ward (Not my choice, the community has spoken.
Epic's become pretty damn good at getting visual concepts into their games unmolested by the constant barrage of crazy iterations because the people painting their own crap are slapping their own crap straight into UnrealEd... And as for IW, they just sort of scan in photos and run from there.

Bungie, you gots somethin' cloggin ur graphics pipe. Fix dat -blam!-.
