Reach Project Page Gets Prettier
Bungie's updated the Reach project page, in anticipation of the video to be shown Saturday night on the Spike Video Game Awards.

Major Silva wrote to point out a newspost on Grifball.com - apparently, Winter League signups for Grifball are really low, and they're desperately looking for extra teams.

Prepare to Drop - like Flies
This week's Double EXP Weekend playlist is totally new - 'Prepare to Drop' is an "ODST Inspired" playlist, smgs and magnums for the most part (though the VIP escort games have BRs in 'em). Head over to Bungie.net for full details. Update: ZaneZavin pointed out that this list ran once before - the weekend ODST launched. My bad. (Louis Wu 19:48:16 UTC) (permalink)

Hawty's got your back for the Holidays
A couple of very awesome features at Hawty McBloggy's today - make some time. First up is HMB's Offbeat Gaming Gift Guide - Halo Edition, a collection of goodies for the Halo fan on your list, in many price ranges (cheapest item is $1.50, most expensive is $50). All are pretty unique. Go look! Then, when you're all shopped out, swing by the Halo Periodic Table, a massive undertaking put together by Hawty and Halcylon, mapping every single element on the Periodic Table to a Halo equivalent. It's available in a bunch of different sizes, from super-gigantic (good for poring over the pictures) to small-desktop size. Next week, a key with all the symbols and what they stand for will be posted - for the time being, see how many you can guess!

Last night, urk mentioned a short machinima miniseries (it's three parts, but once you've pulled the credits, the actual content is about 5 minutes total for the three segments) called 'Valor' - created by Kootra Productions, it tells a powerful story from the point of view of an ODST. Go watch - Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3. (Louis Wu 15:48:10 UTC) (permalink)
