Game over, Clyde. Game over.
gex sent word that Clyde & Roy (the pilot) is online - this is something I've never seen before. Really nice editing! Go watch it on YouTube - here's hoping there'll be more eps in the future!

Wednesday is Movie Day at Bungie.net
Tons of new movies highlighted today on Bungie's Comm Chatter: That's a lotta videos! (Louis Wu 17:51:58 UTC) (permalink) 
Conquering the Control Room Pit
HB sa' lamee, Grunty, surtic, and xlax007 have found a consistent way to get to the bottom of the Halo 2 Control Room pit - this is normally impossible, since there's a death barrier at the top of the hole. They've figured out a rather amazing way of keeping that death barrier from spawning in the first place... you should watch. Thanks to Ducain for pointing this out. And thanks to the HIH crew for continuing to push the limits of what's possible! (Louis Wu 17:14:17 UTC) (permalink) 
Bungie Talks Reach to Waypoint
This went up yesterday, but there were problems with audio synch - looks like this has been fixed. The Halo Waypoint team interviewed Marcus Lehto and Brian Jarrard (in a funkily-lit space) - the discussion is different from many of the other interviews we've seen recently. Looks like cutscenes are going to be scarce (or nonexistent) in Reach! Also, don't start thinking you'll be moving around the universe; Brian confirms that the entire game takes place on Reach itself. (Louis Wu 16:30:16 UTC) (permalink) 
Not as good as it should be
io9 wasn't thrilled with Halo Legends - go read why. Thanks, Toxic Mayhem. (Louis Wu 14:55:58 UTC) (permalink) 
G.A.N.G. Awards Finalists Announced
The Game Audio Network Guild has announced finalists for the 8th Annual G.A.N.G. Awards - winners will be announced at the GDC in San Francisco on March 12. I couldn't find the press release online, so we posted it here - Halo 3: ODST is up for Music of the Year, and Best Interactive Score. Check it out! (Louis Wu 14:41:36 UTC) (permalink) 
All you have to do is shoot it in the air. Heh - I can see the kid in this video becoming a new Halo meme - check out his Halo Assault Rifle! Thanks, Trasher. (Louis Wu 14:41:18 UTC) (permalink) 
ThingFling Halo Gear - Again Back in October, ThingFling offered a package of 10 assorted Halo wallets and belt buckles for $10 plus shipping. The deal's back today - you've got about 16 hours left. Thanks, Zerowind117. (Louis Wu 14:40:49 UTC) (permalink) 
Marcus talks to GT
serpx noticed another Marcus Lehto interview - this one is over at GameTrailers. (Louis Wu 14:40:32 UTC) (permalink) 
I could eat your eyes... Can you mix love and war? Of course. Swing by Hawty McBloggy's for a Master Chief decked out for Valentines Day. A little late, but hey - love is timeless! (Louis Wu 14:39:59 UTC) (permalink) 
Brian and Marcus at 1UP, transcribed
Jussy117, of the H3ITWP forum, transcribed the 1UP Podcast interview with Marcus Lehto and Brian Jarrard. Since you have to be a member of the H3ITWP group to read Jussy's post, squidhands kindly reposted it at NeoGAF, where everyone could read it. Good stuff. (You can listen to it yourself, but it's not very long, and the podcast is nearly 2 hours.) (Louis Wu 14:39:27 UTC) (permalink) 
Do I get another Christmas break, too?
It's mid-February, but that doesn't mean that a Halo-themed Christmas Tree isn't welcome - this one even has Flame Grenades hung on it! Thanks, Hawty. (Louis Wu 14:38:56 UTC) (permalink) 
Win me back, Bungie
A blogger with Destructoid sat down with Marcus Lehto at X10 and asked him to bring him back into the Halo fold. Go see how successful Marcus was! (Louis Wu 14:38:27 UTC) (permalink) 
Love is in the air
I missed this nsfw-ish video highlighted by (who else?) Hawty McBloggy on Monday - but it's pretty funny. Can you get jiggy on Xbox LIVE? This song seems to think so... (Louis Wu 14:38:01 UTC) (permalink) 
Eurogamer Previews Reach
Eurogamer has a preview of Halo: Reach, based on what they saw at X10 - swing by for yet another take on that material. (Louis Wu 14:37:36 UTC) (permalink)
