How many achievements have YOU unlocked?
G4TV talked to Jason Pace, of Halo Waypoint, and discovered that only a tiny percentage of Halo fans have unlocked every achievement across Halo 3, Halo Wars, and Halo 3: ODST - "significantly less than 1%". Are you one of the few? Check the G4 article for contact information - and let them know! (Louis Wu 19:52:13 UTC) (permalink)

Star Fell
FireDragon04 wrote to let us know about a machinima/CG hybrid project that's been in the works for quite a while - it won't be released until later this year, but a teaser poster went live today. Looks pretty nice!

Helljumpers Pumpkin... and shoes. Hawty McBloggy has a very cool ODST-themed pumpkin on her front page today - go check it out! (I haven't looked yet to see if it's been submitted to our Guilt O' Lantern contest... but it would be a real shame if it's not!) While you're over there, check out the pretty slick-looking Nike Dunk Highs that someone customized with a Master Chief... they're expensive, but man, they look good!

Where would Halo be if...
The Toronto Globe and Mail have used Halo as a jumping-off spot for a discussion about gaming on the Mac, and where it might be going in the future. The article's title is 'What if Halo had launched on a Mac?' - but really, that's pretty much the extent of the Halo content of the article. (Well, except for the humorous "I'm a Mac" parody done in the Halo engine...) Still, it's an interesting read about the gaming landscape, and what drives companies to develop for specific markets. Thanks, Anton P. Nym. (Louis Wu 13:42:32 UTC) (permalink)
