J'Acuse!
ZZoMBiE13 took umbrage at Nolan Bushnell's comments about Halo 3 being "Doom 1 in different clothing" - go see his take in the latest Another Halo Comic Strip. (Louis Wu 13:54:58 UTC) (permalink)
We're not very good at this promotion thing.
We totally spaced on letting you know about this ahead of time... but Mig and I were on Spike TV's Game Head last night. It SHOULD be on GameTrailers later today, and you can watch it again on Spike TV next Friday night (well, Saturday morning) at 1 am if you'd like. (It's the Simpsons Game episode.) It was a cool little (about a minute long) snippet plugging HBO and the Halo community - go find it! Update: available on GameTrailers here. (Louis Wu 13:49:23 UTC) (permalink)
New RvB on XBLM
Red vs Blue: Recovery One Part One (in HD) is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace, for 80 points. Burnie has said that it will be available for at least sponsors on their website at some point - but it's not there yet. Thanks, darthbob. (Louis Wu 13:41:00 UTC) (permalink)
More on no-weapons glitches - and credit
Trindacut let us know that the Missile Pod glitch that lets you go weaponless was discovered (and documented) by Unreal Studioz about three weeks ago. and Bryan Burns suggests that there's a way to go weaponless without Forge; it involves dropping a flag and deploying equipment, but I couldn't make it work. In general: we're happy to give credit where credit is due, but I'm sure there are LOTS of people who've discovered specific glitches that haven't come to our attention; (after this) we're not going to keep rehashing old ones as people say "well, I found that the day Halo was released!" or "I found that on the copy I bought from eBay a week before release!" or whatever. Enjoy the information, enjoy the credit if you manage to get it to us before anyone else does... but please, do this for the Halo community, rather than for a credit mention. Thanks!

Chocolate frosting + pound cake = win.
I spent yesterday evening at the birthday party of Miguel "Ding" Chavez's oldest - and yes, it was a Halo party. We discovered that old and wily often beats young and fast... remember that. (Louis Wu 13:35:40 UTC) (permalink)

Covenant Elite Costume on eBay
Hawty "if it's on eBay, I'll tell you about it" McBloggy found a Covenant Elite costume for sale on eBay - it's made of hard plastics and latex, and fits folks between about 5'11" and 6'2", and can be shipped by Halloween. Starting bid is $900, and you've got a day and a half to get your bid in. I don't think I've seen one of these for sale before!
