I guess he could be making wind noises...
Okay, so remember when we mentioned that Greg Grunberg was going to be doing voice work for Halo Reach? Looks like it's got at least ONE loud moment... (Thanks to NeoGAF's Ssparks for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 22:59:17 UTC) (permalink)
I think I could win the Meat Shield one.
Cody Ryan Brigan stopped in with some very, very cool pics; he's hosting a Halo 3 tourney in April, and he's going all out on trophies. Go see some of the work in progress! (Louis Wu 20:45:43 UTC) (permalink)
Get Hammered, Yo
It's Thursday, so it's time for another Double XP Weekend - as we mentioned yesterday, this week's list is Grifball. (Louis Wu 20:43:40 UTC) (permalink)
Thursday Movies
New movies available to you, courtesy of Bungie's Comm Chatter:
- Temperature Rising is a Halo 3 montage from Orangeclock. 3 minutes, minimal editing... just kills.
- Premeditated Splatter is a Halo 3 Hogtage from Elite C 56. The name is funny because most of the splatters are NOT intentional.
- Lightsaber Duel is... surprisingly, exactly that. Two Spartans (excuse me, a Sith Lord and a Jedi) duke it out on Guardian with Star Wars Lightsabers. Pretty nicely done!
Make some popcorn. (Louis Wu 20:42:14 UTC) (permalink)

Greg Bear's Forerunner Books - coming later
F1rsTxLas7 contacted Greg Bear on Facebook recently, and learned that the first book of the Forerunner trilogy that Bear is writing probably won't be out before 2011. (As recently as last month, we thought it might be out in July 2010, because that's the date Amazon is stating on its website.) Just a quick sidenote - F1rsTxLas7's post contains a mention by Bear of "the Halo folks in their new digs". This is almost certainly 343 Industries, and NOT Bungie - please don't mistake this as evidence that Bungie has completed its move to downtown Bellevue. (Louis Wu 14:36:15 UTC) (permalink)
Daddy lets us stay up later.
Over at 360Junkies, MDK x2002x posted his thoughts about the future of the Halo franchise - and what it might mean for fans. I think I probably disagree with the notion that you have to decide where your loyalties lie... but it's certainly true that management will be changing hands, and this has the potential to change the flavor of your interactions. Give it a read, see what you think!

Halo Series 7 Figures - Video Reviews
InnerRayg pointed out some video reviews of McFarlane's Series 7 figures - the good news is quality control has improved dramatically over Series 6! Go watch. (Louis Wu 14:25:04 UTC) (permalink)
Our engineers don't follow, they lead.
Dang, we forgot to post the second half of CVG's Halo: Reach interview with Marcus and Brian; swing by their website and give it a read. It's a look forward, more than a look back - and it has some interesting info! (Louis Wu 02:07:10 UTC) (permalink)
Charity Action Figure Sale - Buy Early!
Seraph XXVII stopped in with prices and pics of the action figures he's selling to raise money for Dan and Aimee, and Child's Play. (Details in this post, if you missed them.) He's giving HBOers first crack at these puppies - they'll be on eBay soon! (Louis Wu 01:19:29 UTC) (permalink)
Mythic Photographers - Week Two
Last week's Community Spotlight group, Mythic Photographers, have updated their favorites with a new batch of files - swing by Bungie.net to read about the map Mongoose Station, or go straight to Bungie Favorites to see all the files. (Louis Wu 01:18:11 UTC) (permalink)
Fly Away
New montage from Axilo and Friends - thanks, urk. Looks like someone got a scrubber, and decided to play with it!

Thanks to Bungie's Comm Chatter for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 01:13:36 UTC) (permalink)
