Tag and Release: Grifball
Did you enjoy playing Grifball this weekend, during its Double XP moment in the sun? Do you like looking at pictures from similar games? If so, jump over to Bungie.net - today's Tag and Release feature is all about Grifball. Bam! (Louis Wu 18:23:13 UTC) (permalink)
Dancing and bagging
A couple of movies for you, thanks to urk and Bungie's Comm Chatter: Master Chief was caught dancing on film at a Saints game, and Funny Halo 3 Production released their 7th collection of dumb stuff. Go watch!

HALOween: Run for your Life
kilaMOMjaro sent word that it's time for the 2nd annual HALOween Zombies Charity Tournament (proceeds to benefit Be the Match Foundation, a registry for bone marrow donors with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) - swing by the PraetoriaGuard site for details. (If you're registered on their site, you can check out the tournament forum. The games played are Zombies and Halloween (aka Michael Myers). Prizes include signed ODST and REACH posters from Bungie and copies of Left4Dead2 from Valve... and candy. Lots of candy. What are you waiting for? (Louis Wu 17:23:47 UTC) (permalink)
If the barrier can be passed... they're out.
Hold X to Trick have gotten themselves out of Kikowani Station - all I can say is 'wow'. Check out the video. Thanks, Ducain. (Louis Wu 15:39:21 UTC) (permalink)

Monday Comic Roundup
Slim pickin's on the comic front this morning - one more episode of the Least I Could Do ODST line (here's hoping Halo never goes there), and yesterday's Grin + Bear It, teaching you how to teabag. (Really?) There's always Wednesday! I'm missing Reclaimer... (Louis Wu 13:57:21 UTC) (permalink)
More about the man, less about the special effects
The Independent has an article describing the planning stages of the Halo 3: Believe ad campaign - the goals its creators set for themselves, the route they planned to take to success. For those of us outside the advertising world, it's an interesting look through the window. (Louis Wu 11:00:46 UTC) (permalink)
More Gaming Lessons - Raise your Game
Bluestrike2 pointed out three new articles at Gaming Lessons; one is readable by the general public ("Good Riddance, Guardian" contains thoughts on Guardian's removal from MLG play), and two require a Player's Club membership ($20/month). you can read the first couple of paragraphs of "Chronicles of a Coach" (a new series by the coach of Str8 Rippin) and "Sitting down with Lunchbox" (an interview with the Instinct pro) to see if it's worth the cash for you.

Halo CE: Yoyorast Island v2 Released
TheGhost dropped us a line about Yoyorast Island V2 - a remake of a very popular Halo CE map. There's a release trailer for the map on YouTube, and download links and links to more info are available in the Modacity newspost. Check it out! (Louis Wu 10:46:30 UTC) (permalink)
More Forza 3 ODST Goodness
M0dus posted a few shots of a really slick Forza 3 car with ODST markings - thanks to EazyB for copying them to the NeoGAF Halo thread, where I noticed them. (Louis Wu 10:38:22 UTC) (permalink)
New SMG for Operation Chastity
Pete Cooper stopped in with some pictures of a new prop built for his Operation Chastity project; this is an M7/caseless SMG. Fantastic work! (Louis Wu 10:26:17 UTC) (permalink)
Insider Moves - off the web
Yesterday, we mentioned a new 'Insider Moves' feature on Xbox LIVE Marketplace; the folks from OXM provided a few tips for completing the Déjà Vu and Classic Vidmaster Achievements. We held off on providing download links for this because we were conserving bandwidth for the ODST Cutscene Library - but it seems we can handle that reasonably well. Therefore, if you'd like to see this edition of Insider Moves, but don't have the time to log on to XBL, you can grab HD versions from us in either WMP9 or QuickTime formats (about 138 mb each).
