Firefight Solo Guide: Lost Platoon
Monochron is back with another Firefight Solo Guide - this one focuses on Lost Platoon. Tips, tricks, and great screenshots - swing by and use this to pile up the points on your own! (Louis Wu 20:16:45 UTC) (permalink)
Wednesday's Comm Chatter
Bungie's community feed offers you the following tidbits today:
- 'Beauty of Halo' is a Scenery Screenshot Montage put together by several community groups - pretty pics.
- 'Whatever' is a tritage (every time I hear 'tage' now, I think of Pure Pwnage's Taji) - Axilo, Magix, and Mick put some of their best clips together to give you a 7 minute montage. (It's totally silent because the audiotrack contained unauthorized music.)
- The Community Spotlight is being shined on Aberrant Designs - go read about who they are, then check out Bungie Favorites for some of their choicest files.
- It's been a long time coming - but you can finally buy extra Bungie Pro Render Minutes. What does this mean? It means you can finally render that 30-minute monster custom game you've been holding on to... Minutes are ten cents apiece - no discount for bulk.
Go watch, go read, go buy! (Louis Wu 20:15:33 UTC) (permalink)
TRR: The Firestream Firefight
The Running Riot is back next week - and this one is special. Kete's calling it "The Firestream Firefight", and it's gonna be Firefight with some community names. Bigwigs like bs angel, Insane54 from Forge Hub, and Jironimo from Ascendant Justice (and some schmuck from HBO, too) will be online playing live. Mark your calendars! (Thanks, urk and Kete.)

Halo 3 Mythic Guide Version 2.0 - Floodgate
Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris continues his Mythic Walkthrough, v2.0 - the latest chapter is the easiest level to play in all of Halo 3: Floodgate. Swing by and see how to beat this level in less than 5 minutes, even on Legendary, with All Skulls On! Only two levels remain - Crow's Nest, and The Ark. (Both are massive, and very difficult.)

Getting Politically Correct with Game Characters
c0ld vengeance pointed out an article over at Destructoid - someone wondered what sort of role sexual orientation should play in games. Interestingly enough, a character with NO visible sexuality (Master Chief) was less 'real' than one with a sexual preference that differed from the writer's (Uncharted 2)! Not sure I understand that... (Louis Wu 15:00:32 UTC) (permalink)
Wednesday Comic Roundup
Reclaimer's back (thanks, TTL Demag0gue) - Episode 224 (Uncloaked Mysteries) was even posted a bit early last night, to make up for the dry spell. The Reclaimer is beginning to see the lay of the land... and over at Hawty McBloggy's, ODS Steve #48 (Plan Alpha) is online - with a plan that I wouldn't be comfortable being part of...

LEGO Frigate
Leviathan noticed a very cool LEGO construction - dark angel built the Aegis Fate (the UNSC frigate hanging over Sand Trap) out of 3500 LEGO blocks... insane! (Louis Wu 14:53:56 UTC) (permalink)
Bungie Store Bulks Up
No Halo goodies - but there ARE some Superintendent ones... swing by the Bungie Store to see the new stuff they've added. (Remember; Bungie no longer owns the rights to Halo, so they can't sell Halo-branded stuff there; don't get on their case TOO much about this. Hey, urk - how about a Superintendent plushie? It would probably look like a giant M&M... but I'd probably love it anyway.) (Louis Wu 14:50:19 UTC) (permalink)
