Take Our Stuff - Winners
Took us a while (well, okay, mostly me), but the winners of the Take Our Stuff contest have now been posted. Winners will be contacted privately for mailing addresses, so that they can get their goodies - and in some cases, they'll be required to prove that the content they posted is actually theirs. That part is just administration, though - for now, go browse the collections! (Huge thanks are due Bungie's SketchFactor, who really went out of his way to make this whole thing work.)

MLG's Top Ten
MLGPro.com has posted the 10th MLG/ESPN Top Ten, with some pretty fun clips - thanks, BladedExpert. (The floater on Narrows was freaky.) (Louis Wu 15:21:22 UTC) (permalink)
Project Pangea - Part Two of Five
The Handmade Hero stopped by with a link for his second player portrait showcase - 25 more images that capture the essence of their subjects' Halo 3 personas. Check it out! (Louis Wu 15:17:40 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Art - it's in your local record shop
Ross "I'm going to beat c0ld vengeance at the news game" Mills pointed out a couple of nice Halo art pieces - Kotaku ran a shot of a store display from a record shop near one of the editors - it's a hand-inked piece by a local artist who also did this. Nice work! (Louis Wu 14:01:38 UTC) (permalink)
Game developers need to eat, too
Ross "new Bungie teasers always make me hot" Mills has been scouring the web for Halo news; he found an interesting piece at gamesindustry.biz in which Bungie's Marty O'Donnell discusses the negative effect that the pre-owned games market has on games development. He acknowledges that it's hard to gripe when your game (say, Halo 3) sells millions of copies - but for smaller studios, the loss of revenue to the pre-owned market can mean the difference between success and failure. He hopes that alternative delivery methods can be developed that benefit everyone (well, he's not too worried about the middle man). (Louis Wu 13:57:21 UTC) (permalink)
I think they're looking for Recon
It's Friday, so it's time for fun over at Hawty McBloggy's - this week it's Caption Fun, Round 19. The last one was a month ago - you can see responses from that one, plus a new picture that needs your captioning help. Go play! (Louis Wu 13:15:36 UTC) (permalink)
Inside Halo 22
Inside Halo 22 has been posted - there's a tribute to lost playlists, some mostly interesting top plays, and general oddness. Thanks, Aang Avatar. (Louis Wu 13:11:55 UTC) (permalink)
Hours of analysis of 63 seconds
If you're looking for pixel-by-pixel analysis of the Keep It Clean trailer, the Halo community has you covered. Grunts R Us did a full analysis (though at this particular moment it seems to be offline for maintenance - try a bit later), Xbox 360 Fanboy put together a 2-minute video analysis pointing out some key items (thanks, RVideo), Rampancy.net stepped through the teaser frame by frame, applying Narcogen's usual thoroughness and observational skills to the task, and Ascendant Justice has posted 'Into the Ashen Wake (Part One)' with ITS typical thoroughness and observational skills (thanks, Cocopjojo). And of course, there's plenty of speculation on our forum (and elsewhere). I'm pretty sure if, after reading/watching these, you haven't seen commentary on a feature of the video... it's not there.

Halo 3 Assembly Map Preview, from G4
Joe Paulding let us know about an interview with Brian Jarrard that was produced by G4TV from footage collected at PAX - there's lots of Assembly footage, and discussion about the map and its (lack of a) release date. Go watch!

Friday Comic Madness
anthraxgoon visited yesterday to point out a new webcomic, X36. Still a little rough around the edges, but it shows promise! Nick Ambrose let us know about The Biased, Chapter 1, Page 6 - the reds start getting answers. And it's Friday, so TTL Demag0gue is around to tell us that Reclaimer 92 is online - 'Bloodhound' shows off the Reclaimer's latest effort to learn about his foes. (Louis Wu 11:57:26 UTC) (permalink)
Wish you were here...
7theSuper stopped by again with a fun poem - always nice to see fans building on Bungie's work! (Louis Wu 11:52:58 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fan Fiction
The Fan Fiction writers didn't stop because Bungie was announcing a new teaser - there are six new pieces for your reading pleasure in the Fan Fiction section. And while you're at it, you might want to check out this forum post by Australian Chaos - he mentions a fanfic he's been posting elsewhere. Reading is good for you! Update: apparently, Australian Chaos pulled his story from GRU due to lack of feedback. Guess that's the last time I mention fan fiction not hosted here... (Louis Wu 11:49:43 UTC) (permalink)
