Hammers and Sickles - er, Swords
It's Thursday, so a new Double XP Playlist is live for the weekend - it's the only one for a while that doesn't require the purchase of Halo 3: ODST, so go enjoy some Grifball! (Louis Wu 22:54:36 UTC) (permalink)
Thidio Thursday
Three new vids for you, courtesy of Bungie's Comm Chatter:
- Killomainiac whipped up "Big Bang Theory", with pictures and video set to BNL's song.
- americanista123 put together "Mythic Photographers ODST Pictage", a screenshot montage featuring ODST goodness.
- Twixtor edited a dualtage called 'Anthropy', featuring gameplay by himself and Miizmo (really heavy on the effects).
Go watch! (Louis Wu 18:34:09 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Legends DVD Release Date
Looks like Halo Legends (the full DVD) has a release date - February 9, 2010. You'll be able to watch each episode on Halo Waypoint (on LIVE) for a 24-hour period each... but if you want repeat viewings, or if you miss one (or more), they'll be available in February. (That press release suggests that the first episode will be visible on Waypoint on Saturday.) (Louis Wu 14:48:43 UTC) (permalink)
Waypoint Now Open to the Public
Vincent noticed that Waypoint is now available to the general public on Xbox LIVE - for a limited time, it's available to ALL users (Gold and Silver), though eventually it'll be Gold-only. Go check it out! (Louis Wu 13:09:23 UTC) (permalink)
Never Too Old Too Shame
We missed this on Friday - I'm not sure how - and then again on Wednesday (when we posted its successor). We're not missing it again. Elnea posted Halo Action Figure Theater 187, showing the beautiful (though not quite tearful) reunion of Lois and Steve in more detail - check it out!

Customized ODSTs on eBay
Leviathan seems to be taking over the 'find cool customized stuff on eBay' job from Hawty McBloggy; he's pointed out a pair of auctions you might be interested in. The first is a custom-painted Romeo figure, and the second one is the whole dang squad. Check 'em!

Real-life Mongoose for sale in Seattle
Lt Col Hurd won an ATV customized to look like a Mongoose at the Halo 3 Launch Event in New York City two years ago; he's never used it offroad and it's still in mint condition. He needs to sell it - if you're in the Seattle area, it's up on Craigslist right now. He's asking $9000 or best offer - check out the pics! Update: oops, Lt Col Hurd just found this - it's not his. My mistake! (Louis Wu 13:04:31 UTC) (permalink)
Child's Play auctions - big bucks from Halo enthusiasts
Laird let us know that the Halo Child's Play auctions he hosted this past week brought in $2,373.06 in cash for the charity! Not too shabby - go, Halo fans! (Louis Wu 13:03:46 UTC) (permalink)
HaloContest's October Montage
Morpheus stopped in to announced HaloContest's October montage - contains top clips and screens from October. Winner gets a 1600 point card - but the more views they get, the more they can afford to spend on future prizes! (Louis Wu 13:03:00 UTC) (permalink)
HBO Regular wins Mountain Dew ODST Xbox
During the run-up to Halo 3: ODST's launch, Mountain Dew held a sweepstakes in which they gave away one ODST-themed Xbox a day for a month. dCon V won one of these babies - and took some cool pics. Now THAT'S a nice Xbox! (Louis Wu 13:01:05 UTC) (permalink)
