There's a new Average Joe interview at Bungie.net - Big Black Bear discusses the Halo community and his place in it. And urk's mom. Go read! (Louis Wu 20:05:01 UTC) (permalink)
Limited-Edition ODST 360 for Sale
Both Mountain Dew and Best Buy were giving away a few pretty cool Limited Edition ODST consoles this summer - but if you didn't win one of the 60 or so given away, you're out of luck... unless you feel like swinging by eBay. dCon V DID win one of 'em... but needs to sell it. His loss is your gain! You've got just under a week - go look. (Louis Wu 18:35:19 UTC) (permalink)
Tuesday's Movies
Like we said, Bungie's back in the office - and that means there are a bunch of new videos for you this afternoon:
- Halo 3: ODST Rap tells the whole story of ODST (full of spoilers) in rap format. Well-done, lyrically.
- In the Clutch, Episode 1 (Thanksgiving Special) is a new Top 5 Halo 3 Plays series, showing off clutch plays from Matchmaking. Great team saves!
- Robbie B is on his third Halo 3 montage - this one is edited by TM22. Nice job on both sides (gameplay and editing).
- The October edition of the MLG/ESPN Top Ten is online - and the gameplay is pretty amazing. (I was pretty amused with the number one clip - the guy gets 10 kills in a row (the last five as a Killtacular)... and his team is STILL down 32-27.)
Go watch - just keep an eye out while you're there for urk, that man can be dangerous. (Louis Wu 18:28:41 UTC) (permalink)

mendicantbias00 let us know that Kotaku has info about the Japanese release date of Halo Legends (February 16 - one week after the US release date), and some cover art (this seems to be new). And thanks also to CaptainTony, who pointed out that there is a trailer and a concept art sketchbook up on Halo Waypoint for 'The Package', the next Legends episode to be shown (Part 1 will be up this Saturday for the standard 24 hours).

Wallpaper and Plushies - what more do you need?
Hawty McBloggy's place is worth visiting this morning - she's got some really nice stuff for you. For folks with an iPhone/iPod Touch, you can snag some very cool Halo Wallpaper, courtesy of Firestream... and for folks jonesing for Halo plushies (okay, okay, that's me, I admit it), a fan has whipped up a really adorable Elite plushie, complete with (soft) energy sword! Go see.
