Hallowed Forge
Bungie's looking for cool Halloween-related Forge content to put into this week's update - swing by to see a few examples (and be sure to laugh at Stosh for even THINKING that last one has anything at all to do with Halloween - it's a demon eating a fish, fergoshsakes!).

It's all about the number 1
Over at Bungie.net, a new community spotlight has gone up - this one is focused on Bryan Simon, who recently wrote 10 odes to Halo 3's awesomosity. It's pretty long, but the key point to take home is that Bryan loves his mom. Good on ya, Bryan. (Louis Wu 22:51:21 UTC) (permalink)
I was looking for Lilo...
Back in mid-September, Hawty McBloggy mentioned a Halo-themed cross-stitch pattern she was planning on making. Looks like it's done. I can't say I agree with the sentiment... but hey, everybody has their own way of showing affection. (Louis Wu 19:58:30 UTC) (permalink)
TGR knows what it doesn't want
Last week, we mentioned an article at TheGameReviews.com looking at features they wanted to see in Halo 3: Recon - they're back this week with an article containing five problems H3: R should NOT have. Some make sense - some don't. Go decide which is which. (Louis Wu 19:44:40 UTC) (permalink)
French Panoramas
Johnny Be Good, of Halo.fr, sent along a link to his Flickr-based Panorama collection. Awesome shots! (Louis Wu 19:15:35 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Mythic Walkthrough - Floodgate
Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris' Solo Legendary All Skulls On tutorial continues with Floodgate, probably the easiest level in the game at this difficulty. That said, there are still nuances that will get you killed if you don't pay attention - so watch his vids, and read his text, for the most secure path through! (Louis Wu 15:09:16 UTC) (permalink)
Splazed.
Wow. urk, over at Bungie, found a 'Splasertage' from a guy who's got more than 18,000 spartan laser kills under his belt. According to Halo3.junk.ws, I've only got a few thousand kills more than that... with EVERY weapon, combined. (This one really benefits from the higher-quality YouTube version... and the writeup there says 21,000 kills, not 18,000.) (Louis Wu 15:03:23 UTC) (permalink)
A Drawn-on Life
Heh - Kotaku has a story about Matt 'mothergoat' Cox, who has produced a rather large body of work in the Halo fan community and is now a lead designer at 5TH Cell. Apparently, he went on vacation recently, and while he was gone, his coworkers pranked him by wrapping his entire desk in brown paper (which they then lovingly labeled). Even the Master Chief Legendary helmet on the shelf got wrapped! Fun stuff. Thanks, ArteenEsben. (Louis Wu 15:02:42 UTC) (permalink)
TTL Tuesday
XerxdeeJ stopped by because it's TTL Tuesday - he comes bearing news of a pretty cool little egg in the Halo 3: Recon trailer (maybe), and a great highlight reel put together by TTL Hoovaloov, showing off some of the dumbest (and funnest) stuff that can happen with vehicles in Halo 3. (Mostly. There's an awesome example of spawn FAIL on Foundry tucked in there, too.) (Louis Wu 15:01:22 UTC) (permalink)
It's easier to build a base with existing planets.
Heh - prescient, or just lucky? NiTrOuS 343 ran across an article at Yahoo News that discusses the Epsilon Eridanus system... and how scientists think they've found evidence of a planetary system there. Reach just got more feasible! (Louis Wu 14:59:52 UTC) (permalink)
Pwning Cancer
The Fight Like a Girl tourney that dominated our front page's sidebar for a few weeks went off this weekend without a hitch (that I know of) - they raised almost $4000 for worthy causes, and a lot of people got the chance to play against Bungie employees in 2v2 competitions. One of these was written up by mendicantbias00 in his 'The Thunder And The Surf' blog. Check it out - pretty pictures, fileshare links, final results! Update: JonnyOThan corrects my 'without a hitch' comment... in hilarious fashion.
