Lone Wolf Deployed
Did you love the score in the Halo Reach trailer? Bungie has your back - you can now download it from the Reach Project Page at Bungie.net... w00t! (Thanks, urk. And Marty! Thanks, Marty!) Update: for iTunes users, Sorahn whipped up some quick cover art, so that your Coverflow won't be empty. (urk was unhappy with the centering, so there's a centered variant, as well.)

These lists are driving me mad
Associated Content has a list of 10 Halo 3 Players that Will Always Drive You Mad - after reading it, I'm amused that 'The Blamer' is on there; usually, folks don't recognize faults in themselves so clearly. (Louis Wu 21:30:50 UTC) (permalink)
Star Fell
FireDragon04 sent word that Star Fell (a Halo 3 Machinima/CGI hybrid film, mentioned more than once in our news) is now online. A synopsis:
"After a tragic event with the UNSC Star Fell fifty years ago, two Spartans are sent to a remote planet to find out what really happened there."
This one weighs in at 15 minutes, and tells a story of intrigue, betrayal, and redemption. (I think.) Go watch! (FireDragon04 also announced it on our forum, if you want to discuss it.) (Louis Wu 19:33:51 UTC) (permalink)
Happy Holidays!
Bagel whipped up a montage with a Christmas theme (well, at least Christmas music) - go watch. Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 19:31:29 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Evolutions In-Depth Review
David Fuchs let us know that he wrote an in-depth review of Halo Evolutions - if you're wondering if it would make a great Christmas present for someone (or for yourself), and the nearly universal praise in our forum wasn't enough to sway you, this 3000-word review should help. Check it out! (Louis Wu 17:40:34 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Top 10 Kills of the Week - December 16
IGN has posted their latest Top Kills of the Week feature - as always, clips are entertaining, if not totally unique. (Well, #2 was pretty unique.) Don't forget to send in your clips - they're on vacation next week, so entries submitted between now and January 5 are eligible for the next edition. (Louis Wu 16:43:13 UTC) (permalink)
The Man Behind the Music - Extended Edition
On Monday, we mentioned an interview that Channel9's Tina10 did with Marty O'Donnell in his Ivory Tower (the LIVE version of this interview is 4 minutes long); looks like the full (15 and a half minute) version is now up on Channel 9's website. Thanks to Sunburned Goose for the heads-up! (Louis Wu 16:12:25 UTC) (permalink)
A pretty penny
Hawty McBloggy ran across a guy on DeviantART who works copper - and has created a gorgeous rendering of the Master Chief in the material. Go look! (Louis Wu 13:47:20 UTC) (permalink)
403 - Remastered
Back in July 2008, Halo0001 X (now TripleZeroFilms) released 403 Episode 1 - it was about 16 minutes long and told the story of a bunch of friends playing Big Team Battle in Matchmaking. An opportunity to change the soundtrack to something unique and more suitable presented itself - so he decided to upgrade the entire film. Higher-quality audio and video, all across the board. If you missed it the first time, or if you'd like to see it in higher quality, swing by YouTube - It's in 3 parts because of its length. Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 (Louis Wu 13:45:56 UTC) (permalink)
Phisto's Eleven
CrazedOne1988 let us know about "Phisto's Eleven", a CTF montage involving the usual suspects. Fun footage, entertaining context - you can't go wrong! Go watch. (The newspost mentions the soundtrack was yanked by YouTube - seems to be back now.)

Arm The Flag Radio Show #6
AnTi PRO sent word that Arm The Flag, quiet for quite some time, is back with a new podcast - Episode 6 has some Halo Reach discussion in a roundtable format. Go listen! (Louis Wu 13:44:11 UTC) (permalink)
Ho Ho HoJumper
Bungie's Jason Sussman tweeted a pic of the latest Bungie Christmas card - cool stuff! (I'm not sure Grunts on your lap is a very good idea...) Thanks, Jayshum. (Louis Wu 13:42:56 UTC) (permalink)
Living The MLG Dream
Bryan Simon is back with a new song - he bought a karaoke version of John Fogerty's 'Centerfield', and just had to put Halo lyrics to it. Put him in, Coach - he can be MLG!

VGL teaming up with PBS
VideoGamesLive will be broadcasting a special on PBS next year - it will be recorded on February 5th, 2010 in New Orleans, and will air next summer. (You can buy tickets starting tomorrow.) The full press release is available on the VGL website. Looks to be a fun one! (Louis Wu 13:41:34 UTC) (permalink)
Halopen Pencast 16
Firestorm12 sent word that Halopen Pencast 16 (the last of the year) is up now - they're discussing Halo Reach, their own projects, and whales. And stuff. They have a discussion thread in their forum. (Louis Wu 13:40:33 UTC) (permalink)
So, this is, um...
Bungie's experience at Spike's VGAs last week has been documented, with photos and an iPhone-recorded video montage - go read Sketch's writeup, and check out the cool graphics! Congrats once again to Marty for bringing home Bungie's single award this year (for ODST's music). (Louis Wu 02:59:35 UTC) (permalink)
