A Contest Needs a Way to Enter...
DOH! Somehow, I managed to announce the Guilt O' Lantern contest without activating the upload folder - not sure if this affected anyone, since we didn't get any emails saying "the upload doesn't work!", but it's working now. Sorry! (Louis Wu 23:57:18 UTC) (permalink)
Straight up.
Ducain pointed out a thread on the High Impact Halo forum in which ||| Tyrant ||| shows off an amazingly simple technique for climbing vertical walls in Halo 3 - as long as you've got a corner around. Awesome for exploring! Man, that's easier than Jackie Chan's method... (Louis Wu 18:41:45 UTC) (permalink)

What advertising is supposed to do
Anton P. Nym points out an article at Adweek that looks at a bunch of mediocre ad campaigns in September... and then gives props to the Believe campaign. Nice! (Louis Wu 15:39:18 UTC) (permalink)
Legendary discs - available on their own
I'm not sure I understand where these are coming from - but ResilientMonkey pointed out a store on eBay that is selling the bonus discs from Halo 3 Legendary Editions (they currently have five sets for sale). Buy it now price is $14, WELL below the $70 price differential between Legendary and Standard editions. (Of course, you're not getting the helmet or the storyboards, either...) The part I don't get, though, is why folks are selling these; how many people bought the Legendary Edition JUST for the helmet? If you're one of the people that wanted copies of these discs, that mystery doesn't matter much - it should be good enough to know the discs are available. (Louis Wu 14:44:47 UTC) (permalink)
That must have been fun.
Spenser noticed a vid at GameTrailers, showing an in-game, non-orchestrated Killtastrophe. (I found the game link, so if you want to you can download the film clip and get views from other angles.) (Louis Wu 14:33:30 UTC) (permalink)
Blame the Master Chief.
Advertising Age wonders if low ticket sales at the movies recently can be attributed to many moviegoers playing Halo 3 instead... interesting question. (Louis Wu 14:32:57 UTC) (permalink)
