Showing Some Love... Again
Back in July 2009, Carnage A51 (then known as OMFGCarnage) released a Halo 3-based Rube Goldberg machine which broke new ground. I liked it then - and I still like it now. He stopped by our forum to announce that he's remastered it (new soundtrack, higher-quality visuals), and re-released it; if you missed it the first time around, give it a look! Update: pete_the_duck recently reuploaded his, as well. It's a veritable Goldberg Cornucopia! (Louis Wu 17:32:41 UTC) (permalink)

a giveaway finally closes
The mastrbiggy and commander giveaway went on quite a bit longer than expected, because more than half of the first round of winners didn't bother to answer the emails telling them they'd won. New winners have finally been picked, though, and prizes are on their way! Just for future reference, though, if you enter one of these giveaways, it probably is worth your time to double-check your junk folder a couple of days after the entry period closes... in any case, congrats to the winners: sirpwn4ge, Mr Daax, Asian Inferno, ForwardUntoDong, Mooster Chief, padraig08, and unhh!

Title Update 1.04.01
If you've jumped on to Halo 4 in the last day or so, you might have noticed a small update pushed to you. This update had one purpose - to improve the death marker.
