Wearable ODST helmets on eBay
Spase is selling a couple of helmets on eBay - the ODST replica is currently at $285 (with just under 2 days to go), and the Recon Helmet (which finishes an hour earlier) is at $200 right now. Check 'em out! (Louis Wu 22:25:02 UTC) (permalink)
Party Poppers FTW
RevDotNed ran across a very cool feature at Digitial Photography School - 21 Great Reader Shots (and how they were taken). #14 is called 'Master Chief's Bad Day', and it's not only a great shot, the story behind it is pretty fun! (Louis Wu 22:24:45 UTC) (permalink)
Minutmen Monday
Azrael stopped in with word of the latest chapter of his Halo fanfic, Minutmen: The Crucible - go check out Chapter 12: An Evening with Rachel Lynch. (Louis Wu 22:24:27 UTC) (permalink)
Dink.
Today's Tag and Release feature at Bungie.net was based on the keyword '-blam!-' (which I think is subbed in for any curse). Resultant images range from sexually implicit to painful. Go see what they found! (Louis Wu 22:17:08 UTC) (permalink)
ODST in Cleveland
geekinabox was at the Cleveland ODST Roadshow stop... and wrote up his experiences for a less-than-obsessed audience. Check it out! Update: Another one - HC Redemption was at the Austin stop last week, and urk pointed out his writeup over at HaloCharts. (Louis Wu 16:12:53 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie to answer ODST Questions on Best Buy forum
Brian Jarrard and Joe Staten will be participating in a live chat on the Best Buy forums tomorrow night, September 15, from 6-8pm central time (7-9 eastern, 4-6 pacific, you do the math if you're outside the US) - if you've got questions, submit 'em! (Louis Wu 14:02:54 UTC) (permalink)
Where's that guy who used to make FedEx commercials?
Can Brian Jarrard justify the purchase of Halo 3: ODST in 30 seconds? You decide. (Louis Wu 13:59:45 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Reach - yep, it's new tech
NeoGAF's Popeck pointed out the GTTV Bonus Round's Pax Panel over at GameTrailers - Brian Jarrard, N'Gai Croal, and Randy Pitchford discussed marketing and development of games. Sketch once again confirmed that Halo Reach's engine is new:
Something like Reach, obviously, we don't want to use a three, four year old engine and technology, so we typically tend to reinvent the wheel and build a new foundation for each big launch, and that's where a lot of our time goes.
The distinctions between development philosophy as presented by Bungie's Jarrard and Gearbox's Pitchford are fascinating. (Louis Wu 13:47:58 UTC) (permalink)
Master Chief Bust coming from One2One
Matt MacNabb let us know that Toy Legion has a look at an upcoming bust of the Master Chief, available this winter from One2One Collectibles. It's the first in a trio of busts (the other two will be a Brute Chieftan and an ODST Marine). Check 'em out; they're pretty limited in their distribution (650 units total), and will set you back about $225.

MC in your ear
Hawty McBloggy wore a cool pair of Master Chief earrings to PAX this year; you can check out a pic on her blog. (She bought 'em from PlasticParadox; they don't seem to sell them any more, but you can still get this pair of Halo 3 Logo earrings, or the HMB design in cuff links or a ring.)

Monday Comic Roundup
A couple of new comics for you today; Hawty McBloggy let us know about the latest Grin + Bear It hosted at her site (sometimes genres don't mix too well), and TTL Demag0gue let us know about Reclaimer 216 (Bold Moves) - things get a bit dicey for our hero. Check 'em out!
