Pumpkin Voting - closing tomorrow night
A quick reminder - you've got another day or two to vote for your favorite pumpkins in this year's Guilt O' Lantern contest. Vote turnout is way, way down from the last couple of years - I'm not sure if that's because we haven't done a very good job of promoting this, or if folks are just tired of Halo-carved pumpkins... but please, if you haven't voted yet, swing by and do so. Won't take you more than a couple of minutes! (Louis Wu 18:03:18 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Vidcast #5
The MLG Vidcast #5 is available on the front page of MLGPro.com - most of it is concerned with the MLG Pro Circuit show on USA (you DID watch that this morning, didn't you?), but there are a couple of minutes of play-by-play focus on the Ogres that haven't been seen online before. Thanks, 3Suns. (Louis Wu 16:04:05 UTC) (permalink)
LE Series 2 Figures up for Preorder
Sane Intolerant linked to Toywiz.com, and a page that lets you preorder the Halo 2 Limited Edition Series 2 action figures - Prophet of Regret, Jackal Sniper, Teal Elite. (I dunno - might be fun to buy a bunch of Jackal Snipers and strap explosives to 'em...) (Louis Wu 15:58:20 UTC) (permalink)
The Halo-only version of the 1Up Show
EGM's Mark MacDonald pointed out that the Halo-specific portion of the 1Up show can be watched via streaming flash (or downloaded, in hi-res form) from GameVideos.com. And I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that I'm a little silly sometimes; I described the Halo content in the first news post of the day - but I was describing the content of Episode 53, not 54. This new one contains video footage of the EGM team in Kirkland (though no onscreen action), as well as interviews with Lars Bakken, Tyson Green, and Marty O'Donnell. Check it out!

Lady Spartans
The Bungie Weekly Update is live at bungie.net - and though there's no Mister Chief this week (how I miss the little guy!), there's a mini-interview with Eric Nylund about Ghosts of Onyx, some info about upcoming changes to the XBL playlists, and some teasers about Halo 3's water. Go read! (You can, of course, read it in our Weekly Update Archive, as well.) (Louis Wu 01:54:11 UTC) (permalink)
1Up has Halo 3 multiplayer impressions
Over at 1Up.com, their Friday Halo 3 content has been posted - the 1Up Show, Season 4, Episode 5 contains footage from the EGM visit to Bungie (among other things). The movie's huge - 344 - 977 mb, depending on format and resolution; I can't tell you anything about it yet, because it's going to be at least an hour before I see it. However... my guess is, it's worth the download. Thanks to many people in this thread started by Esteban Lagarde - especially Bad Pogo, who found a direct link to the show. Update: Okay, I've seen it now; the Halo 3 content is actually chat between three of the EGM staffers who were at Bungie, discussing what they saw, how they reacted, what they thought, etc - no footage, no screens, but some pretty interesting content nonetheless.
