It's a long way down...
Jammerfer [MunKy] accidentally got himself outside the drop pod you start in on ODST. Pics aren't perfect, because he wasn't on his own Xbox... but they're pretty intriguing! (Louis Wu 22:17:24 UTC) (permalink)
Awwww...
Hawty McBloggy found a truly adorable little grunt, made entirely of wool, and available for sale on Etsy.com - swing by if you'd like to see pictures and get a chance to buy it. (Louis Wu 18:13:50 UTC) (permalink)
Tag and Release: Firefight
Wanna see some really cool battle pics? Search Bungie.net's screenshot collection for 'Firefight'-tagged images. Or just check out the specimens urk found in his latest Tag and Release feature. Hunters look so sad when their armor gets cut off 'em... (Louis Wu 18:04:33 UTC) (permalink)
Monday Movies
A couple of new vids for you to watch, courtesy of urk and Bungie.net: Stewie2552 created 'Halo 3 Wars: Attack of the Cones' (the cones fight back), and Lost Media whipped up 'Ambush', a really nicely filmed short machinima - amazing camera control. Go watch! (Louis Wu 16:50:32 UTC) (permalink)
I think he made her a promise he could keep.
Torchwood Tex dropped a line to Bungie.net's Comm Chatter about her wedding - it was totally Halo-themed. Halo dress, Halo banners, Halo cake, even his-and-hers bridal cat helmets! (Halo music, too.) This is a serious pair of fans! (Louis Wu 16:44:13 UTC) (permalink)
Wanna know more about why you're lagging?
Bungie.net user One One Seven posted a pretty extensive Guide to Networking, Matchmaking, and Host in Halo this morning - it's actually version two of this guide for him. It's full of useful information, and because he gives permission for its hosting on other sites, I've taken the liberty of putting up a local copy, which allows me to make it a bit more navigable. (Bungie.net's forum has a few limitations, in terms of formatting.) Read it here, read it on Bungie.net - but read it. (Thanks to One One Seven for mentioning it (as Photolysis) at NeoGAF.)

Does this say anything about the Jets?
Master Chief showed up at the Saints/Jets game this weekend - and you KNOW what people were making jokes about... thanks, GrimBrother One. (Louis Wu 13:48:33 UTC) (permalink)
Monday Comic Roundup
Just a couple of comics for you today - Hawty McBloggy has the latest episode of Grin + Bear It (I don't agree with the sentiment in this one), and TTL Demag0gue announced the existence of Reclaimer 222 (Weakness) - Bold might have a chink in his armor after all. Go read! (Louis Wu 13:44:58 UTC) (permalink)
Out of Mombasa Streets
Hold X to Trick got out of Mombasa Streets - very cool! (Suggestion: mute the audio.) Thanks, Ducain, for the heads-up! (Louis Wu 12:59:15 UTC) (permalink)
A Night with Bungie
aklay47 and friends were at the ODST Launch Event in Seattle last month - and whipped up a 6 minute video capturing the feel of the evening. Well-done piece! Go watch it.

Dang - even the headgear matches.
Archilen pointed us to a clip from the movie Chicken Run (courtesy of a blog post by JonCJG a week or two ago) - fair warning, if you haven't played through the Halo 3: ODST Campaign yet, this contains story spoilers. If you have, though, it's hilarious. Now I have to play through again, looking for Wallace and Gromit references... (Louis Wu 12:45:51 UTC) (permalink)
Stamping License Plates
If you checked out the thread yesterday about the New Mombasa license plates, Omega and friends have honed the list and the interpretations... and check out this post from Hedgemony, and the followups from DrDoctor and Hedge again for some speculation that might or might not come true in a few weeks.

Road2Recon Ep. 7: Deja Vu
PyroSmile Productions is back with Road2Recon, Part 7 - the Déjà Vu Achievement. Watch the video for hints on earning this last Vidmaster. It also shows how to unlock your Recon armor once you've completed all seven Vidmaster Achievements (this part should be pretty basic, but it seems to give some people trouble).
