Cool Sniper Kills
Yet another Top 10 video has come out - this one was made by KillPie, and covers Sniper Kills. I don't think I'd consider them 'Top 10' caliber, unless we were talking about, say, Top 10 of the day or something... but they're fun, and the video's in HD. Thanks, urk.

Thursday Afternoon Comics
A couple of new comics went online today - The Biased, Chapter 1, Page 15 brings together some characters, and Shipwrecked Episode 47 (Protector) shows the Marines getting some unexpected (and underappreciated) help. (Louis Wu 22:13:29 UTC) (permalink)
Real7alk's First Homepage Contest
Seems that the thing to do is have screenshot contests... we mentioned the Happy Halodays contest that Halo Babies is running, and the 'Tis the Season' contest that Mindless Distortion is running... now word comes from urk that Real 7alk is hosting their first Homepage Contest - create a screenshot (or photoshop one, or draw one) promoting Real 7alk, win a shot at an iPod Nano. Nice! Read the contest page for full details. (Louis Wu 18:43:14 UTC) (permalink)
Mario vs Spartan: The Review
Hawty McBloggy found a fan-made sidescroller called Mario vs Spartan: The Game, and her writeup provides you with a taste of what you're in for if you download it. It's PC-only, but these days, that's not too much of a limitation - most Macs run Windows if they need to. (Louis Wu 15:17:18 UTC) (permalink)
The Gamer Girlfriend Plays Halo
Over at 411mania.com, Greg Bruno wrote up a guide to getting your girlfriend to play video games - he's going to work on getting HIS girlfriend to play, and then pass along the tips that worked. First up - Halo (the first one). Go see what Andi thought of the game! (Louis Wu 15:10:21 UTC) (permalink)

Kiwibox.com held a contest with the winner being brought to Manhattan to meet Graeme Devine and play Halo Wars - there's a film showing off some new campaign footage, along with lots of questions and answers. Thanks, 2900d4u.

TBC's Advent Calendar
This is a little late... but hey, it's still December, so... The Blue Skittle is running its annual Community Advent Calendar - and the 2nd was Halo-related. A funny song from mendicantbias00, coupled with some cool art from Halcylon! Go look. (And peek at other days, while you're there - there seems to be a problem with the most recent entries, but everything through Monday is fine.) Thanks, Hawty. (Louis Wu 14:34:43 UTC) (permalink)
Joyride Figure Auction
BattleMaster2552 stopped by to point out an auction he's kicked off (runs for a little less than a week, at this point) - he's selling 15 Joyride action figures, plus some extras, in a single lot. Current bid is $127.50 - the collection loks pretty impressive! (It includes the original light-up Cortana.) Take a look! (Louis Wu 14:29:44 UTC) (permalink)
Game Damage: A new show
J23 noticed a new australian show called Game Damage - it stars Yahtzee (of Zero Punctuation fame) and friends, and covers gaming news in an entertaining fashion. The first episode has some Master Chief skits that make it Halo-related - go check it out! (Louis Wu 14:25:57 UTC) (permalink)
