HaloCharts Campaign Challenge
HaloCharts wants you to get better at Campaign play - and they're willing to give you shiny medals on your HaloCharts pages if you do so. Read the Challenge page for full details! Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 22:26:56 UTC) (permalink)
Reality Gaming - or gaming reality?
This could be fun. The Escapist has an article about 'World Cyber Games: Ultimate Gamer', an upcoming reality game in which contestants live together, game together... and compete in real-world analogues for their favorite games (playing a real Fender for Rock Band, a round of paintball for Halo 3, a lap around a stunt course in a sports car for PGR4). Sounds pretty cool! Looks like it starts in March, on the Sci-Fi channel. (Louis Wu 21:21:08 UTC) (permalink)
Under Cover of Night - the Jam Session
retsamolah and some friends jammed last night, and their version of 'Under Cover of Night' is actually pretty cool! Give it a listen. (Louis Wu 20:58:28 UTC) (permalink)
Bawny Montage 2 - You can do whatever you want
Magni Harvald pointed out a user video over at MLGPro.com - it looks like a standard montage at first, but it's worth watching, because it's pretty amazing to see how well The Bawny can play Halo 3 (and do plenty of other things)... with only one arm. If you meet this guy and he tells you he can beat you with one arm tied behind his back... he probably can. (Louis Wu 20:42:27 UTC) (permalink)

Find new desktops - easily
Didja think the Bungie.net tag system only worked for images of particular characters? Think again. urk shows off how you can use it to find cool Wallpapers, if the creator was kind enough to tag them correctly. Check it out! (Louis Wu 19:03:18 UTC) (permalink)

Willy noticed a bunch of cool new LEGO stuff on Saber-Scorpion's page - a CTF tableau, a Halo 3 Warthog, and a Mongoose. Nice!
