Aw... he's kinda cute!
gunluva won one of the 'limited edition, exclusive UNSC Spartan' figures from Mega Blocks Halo Wars Authentic Collector's Series. Pictures of the packaging and the figure are available in his post. (Louis Wu 19:10:10 UTC) (permalink)
Still need 2 For 1...
If you've got a copy of Halo 3: ODST, you can participate in this week's Double EXP Weekend, Mythic Brawl. Go get those last few Halo 3 Achievements! (Or the first few, if ODST is your first excursion into Halo 3 multiplayer...) (Louis Wu 19:06:00 UTC) (permalink)
Firefight Panoramas
Decadence Night took a bunch of Firefight panoramas on Crater - some great action shots in there! (Louis Wu 18:45:25 UTC) (permalink)
Thursday Afternoon Crazy Stuff
Bunch of new vids, courtesy of Bungie's Comm Chatter:
- H3 Wheelmen's YouTube Pitstop is a new home for the videos of the H3WM - and they've whipped up a promo vid for it.
- Funny Halo 3 Productions created their fourth Splattertage - To Hoedown from Rodeo. Lots of people beat up by lots of stuff.
- There's a Community Killionaire Montage from DaDirtyGooser - lots of big medals.
- digihero recreated the song 'Unforgotten' in Mario Paint... a year and a half ago.
- Clantacular is making a comeback with a new season that they're kicking off with a Top 10 vid. (The post contains more info about the group.)
While you're over there, check out the news about Facility B5D's Firefight Fridays (get your fight on), and about Ready Up Live's ODST contest (tell a cool story, win a copy of the game and an exclusive t-shirt). Busy afternoon! (Louis Wu 17:26:17 UTC) (permalink)
Okay, third column, wait...
thebruce0 has summarized the new puzzle tidbits found on the ONI Alpha Site Memorial - if you're good with mysteries, swing by! (Louis Wu 14:35:05 UTC) (permalink)
Mombasa Streets, Unmarked
pete_the_duck spent some time getting a clean mosaic of Mombasa's Streets - if you're building something where you want to show people where something is, this is a great starting point. (There have been other maps posted online - but none of them are this clean - or unmarked.) I wrote this up for posting yesterday - but managed to forget. (Louis Wu 14:17:33 UTC) (permalink)
Mapping New Mombasa
Narcogen has started the process of mapping New Mombasa - using Google Earth. Check out his post on Rampancy.net for details! (Louis Wu 12:43:40 UTC) (permalink)
Insider Moves: Halo 3: ODST survival and combat tips
The latest ODST-related 'Insider Moves' feature on Xbox LIVE's 'Inside Xbox' is called 'Halo 3: ODST survival and combat tips'. It's pretty basic stuff, but if you're on the fence, it's worth watching. You can watch it for free on Xbox LIVE, of course, but for those without LIVE access, or who are far from their 360, we've put up HD versions to download - WMP9 is 136 mb, QuickTime is 101 mb.

I liked the traffic jam one.
Hawty McBloggy has posted a new 'Twitter T&A Thursday' - she wanted folks to finish the sentence "You know you play too much ODST when..." Some of the answers she got were pretty funny. (Louis Wu 12:33:42 UTC) (permalink)
Oni Alpha Site Memorial Pics
doober187 took the time to snap hi-res pictures of the ONI Alpha Site Memorial plaques - all text is fully readable. I'm pretty sure there are eggs buried in there somewhere... (The puzzle crew has already latched on to anomalies in the images.) (Louis Wu 12:32:59 UTC) (permalink)
ODST Panos
Minime637 whipped up a few ODST panoramas - they contain story spoilers, so view at your own risk. (Louis Wu 12:32:41 UTC) (permalink)
October Playlist Info Up
Fyrewulff pointed out that the new playlist info for October is online at Bungie.net - all playlists, required maps, and the month's worth of Double EXP Weekends are online. (A sad fact: if you haven't dished out the cash for ODST, you can no longer play in Double XP playlists. Period.) (Louis Wu 12:32:14 UTC) (permalink)
20 hour Halo 3 LAN in MI
Missed this yesterday, but CyReN announced a 20 hour Halo 3 LAN at Unleashed Gaming on the weekend of October 10-11 - swing by his post for full details.
