Toys For Tots Halo 3 Tournament
Charity Gamers is hosting a Toys For Tots Tournament on December 20 - registration opens tomorrow. It's a 2v2 Halo3 tourney, with MLG rules. Registration is $20, and the first place team wins $100 - but mostly, you're competing to bring gifts to poor children. Check out the info page for an overview, and register on the Registration page!

Letting the Halo 3 Art Speak for Itself
There's a fascinating look at the construction of the Halo 3 Art book that goes on sale tomorrow - it's not finished (the last part will be posted tomorrow), but what's there is a great start. Check it out! (Louis Wu 21:44:59 UTC) (permalink)
Tyrant Talks Toughness
Gamers in Action sat down with Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris to talk about beating Halo 3 Solo, Legendary, All Skulls On - and what drives him to make that information available to the world. Fun read! Check it out. (Louis Wu 19:00:44 UTC) (permalink)
Ensemble on how to build an RTS on a console
Gamasutra sat down with Graeme Devine and Bill Jackson, of Ensemble Studios, to talk about the control scheme of Halo Wars - how it developed, why it's better than the way other games do it. It's a pretty interesting discussion! Go give it a read. (Louis Wu 18:10:47 UTC) (permalink)
If I Worked At Bungie (For A Day)
Last night Bryan Simon let us know that he's whipped up a new song - this one's not really focused on Halo 3 (though it's mentioned a couple of times), it's more about Bungie. It's called 'If I Worked At Bungie (For A Day)', and in it he muses about the fun he'd have. Watch it on YouTube, or download the MP3 from us.

Yellow MC Helmet on eBay
For less than half the starting bid of that 8" or so action figure, you can bid on a high-quality Master Chief helmet, being sold by Briar's Armor. You've got almost a week to decide - starting bid is $149. (Louis Wu 12:48:14 UTC) (permalink)
When Action Figures Get out of Control
Hawty McBloggy found an interesting custom action figure... with a starting price that's more frightening than its visage. (Louis Wu 12:45:18 UTC) (permalink)
Critical Error
TTL Demag0gue let us know that Reclaimer 115 is online - which is more than we can say for the Reclaimer himself! Something's gone wrong... (Louis Wu 12:41:01 UTC) (permalink)
HBOFFPotW - 11/14 and 11/21
kr-1426 let us know that the HBO Fan Fic Pick of the Week is live over at the HBOFF forums - there's even one for the previous week, now. Go see who the regulars think is worth reading! (Louis Wu 12:39:46 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Las Vegas - Congrats to Str8
If you missed the live streams last night, you can read a recap of the MLG Las Vegas event over at the MLGPro.com website. (You can actually watch the action yourself, if you'd rather.) The money on the line was pretty steep - Str8 Rippin went home with $100,000 for winning the tourney, Instinct took $60,000 for second place, Carbon settled for $40,000 for third place, and even Final Boss, who placed only 4th, STILL went home with $28,000. Not bad for a weekend's work! (Louis Wu 12:33:05 UTC) (permalink)
