7 on the 7th - wait, what's today?
We almost forgot - thanks, urk, for reminding us: the 7 on the 7th playlist is live, and once again it's full of user-created maps. Swing by Bungie.net for a full list - and go play! (Louis Wu 17:34:17 UTC) (permalink)
Vocal Opposition
The LA Times has an interesting article about video game voice actors, and how they're paid. This has been an issue for years, but as games get more and more elaborate, and overall revenues grow, those providing the voices behind the characters we love want their offscreen words to be heard, too. (Halo, of course, gets a mention.)

Halo 3 ODST: Toronto Launch Campaign
If you live in or near Toronto, you got to play an alternate reality game that provided access to the Halo 3: ODST launch party - I'm not sure why this hasn't hit our radar before now, but late last week, ad agency MacLaren McCann released an overview of the campaign, showing how the clues were distributed and how fans played along. Fun! Update March 2010: URL has been updated because MacLarenMRM reuploaded. (Louis Wu 14:40:18 UTC) (permalink)

Geoff Keighley, who will be hosting the Video Game Awards on Spike this weekend, was on Major Nelson's podcast yesterday - he talked about the footage we're going to see. Sounds pretty good! Thanks, The BS Police.

Monday Comic Roundup
It's Monday, so it's time for a look at the comic offerings around the Halo community. We've got Sunday's Grin + Bear It, over at Hawty McBloggy's - it actually took me a second to get this one. (Yes, I'm slow.) And over at Halo Action Figure Theater, things are getting... weird. (Yes, that's hard to say.) (Louis Wu 14:35:43 UTC) (permalink)
FireFRIGHT
I missed this when it came out, but the guys from Apt-T Productions put together an ODST Halloween PSA - oh, the crimes committed for candy!

Hawty McBloggy highlighted a new Top 10 vid - Top 10 Construct Kills has a bunch of good kills, but what this has going for it is a really enthusiastic announcer. He's a lot of fun. Go watch! (Louis Wu 14:34:36 UTC) (permalink)
