Yahoo's Best Social Games
Yahoo says Halo 3 is one of the games you should be looking at for holiday parties. Right up there with Smarty Pants and Super Mario Galaxy. Thanks, TylerDurden76. (Louis Wu 17:48:34 UTC) (permalink)
Over a third of a million.
Maximum Fear let us know that the Campaign Contest kicked off by Community Projects (we mentioned it on the 17th) is now over - the winner is Ezandora, who submitted a run of the Covenant which scored an insane 347,620 points. Read about it on Bungie.net. (Louis Wu 15:44:50 UTC) (permalink)
I didn't know they could fly
Another Halo Comic Strip looks at a problem many of us have right now... excuse me, I need to go make some soup. (Louis Wu 13:49:45 UTC) (permalink)
Inside Halo, and More
We're a bit late this time around... but Sodagod reminded us that his Inside Halo news program is still going strong on Machinima.com - Episode 2 was released a couple of weeks ago. Watching it gives you a whirlwind overview of the Halo community over the past month or so (with lots of humor) - and it brings to light one of the biggest headaches facing Halo machinimators today: the weapon-lowering trick for Halo 3 does NOT work over Xbox Live. The Bungie guys are on break this week - but I plan to see if I can get an explanation for why this was set up as a local-only function sometime soon... because it makes people like Sodagod crazy, and you wouldn't like him when he's crazy. While you're there, you should also check out his Inside Halo Overviews - I haven't found any convenient way to link to each of them on Machinima.com, but there's a great playlist on YouTube that links to most of them so far. There's one on Equipment, several on vehicles (the new Covenant Vehicle overview isn't there yet, but you can watch it on machinima.com), and one on skulls. Good stuff!

V8 Parody
Aglor pointed out a small vid made by Team Banana Yellow - it's a parody of the old 'I coulda had a V8!' ads. Brought a chuckle... (Louis Wu 13:01:02 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Wars Monthly Update
The most recent Halo Wars update was posted earlier this week on the Halo Wars forum - it contains a shout-out to Joe Staten for his work on Contact Harvest, and a nice tidbit about the addition of voice snippets to the sound mix of the game. I wonder if, down the road, there'll be a databank of those snippets on some Halo Wars fansite... thanks to Simpsons Rule for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 12:59:10 UTC) (permalink)
