Halo-themed Custom Guitar
Hawty McBloggy pointed out an amazing guitar she found at the Halo Museum (a site, by the way, that I'd never heard of, but that has some pretty fun stuff in it) - go check out the story of this custom-painted, Halo-themed, flame-bodied, Steve-Vai-signed guitar!

7 Billion by 7/7
We've gotten a number of emails about a challenge put forth by Sir Killalot33 over on the Bungie.net forums - in light of the fact that a few days ago, the number of Campaign kills surpassed the population of this planet, and the fact that Bungie Day is just 13 days from now... can we, the Halo community, pass the 7 billion kills mark before 7/7? This has been front-paged at Bungie.net, and there's a sizeable thread going right now on our own forum - if you want to help, jump in and start playing! (ACEfanatic02 has some nice suggestions in terms of efficiency.)

TTL AtLANtica Recap
At the end of May, a whole lot of TTL Gunslingers got together in Florida and partied for a weekend. They had fun, they raised money for charity, they played a lot of Halo. They filmed the whole shebang. Swing by Tied the Leader for a writeup, and a link to the video, either streaming or in quarter-of-a-gig HD goodness. Good game, guys... good game. (Thanks, XerxdeeJ.)

Maxim says we have a hero.
xupaosso found a slideshow on Maxim (pages aren't SFW) showing off their choices for The Greatest Video Game Heroes of All Time. Master Chief is on the list. Update: oops... this is OLD. (I thought it was old when I saw it - but I didn't find the original, so I assumed it was faulty memory. Silly me.) Thanks, J23. (Louis Wu 09:53:36 UTC) (permalink)
A Halo Fan's Recommended Reading Primer
Yesterday, SinisterSamurai asked about recommended reading - it started off as a 'what are some books recommended by the Bungie dudes who worked on Halo?', but has since branched off a bit - the thread is FULL of recommendations of all sorts of good Sci-Fi (and other stuff). Dave Candland tossed in a list he compiled during an internal email exchange at Bungie, and mnemesis cleaned it up a bit (and combined it with an older list Bungie actually published). If you're looking for summer reading - check out this thread. (Louis Wu 09:52:38 UTC) (permalink)
I miss the shoulder missiles.
Over at Bungie.net, you can see a screenshot that recreates the very first Halo screenshot ever released - in a slightly updated engine. Go look! (Louis Wu 09:52:17 UTC) (permalink)
