Spherical Panorama: Swording Action
HaLo2FrEeEk released another spherical panorama from Reach - this one is Sword Base, again... but this time, it's an action version. Shooting, flying, blowing up. Take a look! (Louis Wu 17:59:22 UTC) (permalink)
If I had a superweapon...
bevbor is building something. Something I haven't ever seen before from a fan. Something really, really cool. Wanna see a human-sized Banshee made of cardboard? Go watch this video. Or swing by the 405th for pics and discussion. (Louis Wu 16:54:23 UTC) (permalink)

Vidimanjaro
urk's back from a long weekend with a whole bunch of new video in today's Comm Chatter:
- Power of the Pummel is a montage of beatdowns (assassinations, lots of sword/hammer action) from Clantacular. They called it 'greatest hits'. Geddit?
- Anoj is back with another 'Bungie Explains' - recapping the Bungie Weekly Update for folks who have trouble with written words.
- 8-bit Halo Episode 7 is live - been a few months since the last one! Some mysteries solved. I'm not sure I like how ODSTs are treated. And I don't think I played enough Nintendo to really appreciate this one...
- Anoj released 'Top 10 Halo Reach Beta New Weapon Kills' (Episode 4) - lots of Pro Pipe/Microwave/Comedy Gun action. (Also some nice handling of the Deemer and the Nerfle.)

RvB Nesting Dolls, Round 2
Back in August, in time for PAX, RvB's MissZahrah painted a set of Russian nesting dolls as characters from the Red vs Blue videos. She presented them to Burnie at the expo (here's a final picture of the full group) - what a fan! Well, last week, she unveiled a new collection - this one is the entire Red Team (including a dead Donut). The original picture is in her RvB image collection, but that's not visible to anyone who doesn't have an account on the site, so I asked if we could host a local copy. She said sure. So cute...

ODST Helmet for Charity
We mentioned Laird's upcoming Child's Play charity auction in passing yesterday; we got mail last night from Sean Bradley, who submitted a tricked-out ODST helmet to the mix. He made a commercial for it, plus he's posted a collection of 'in-progress' shots and finished shots for the helmet itself. Finally, there's a thread detailing all of this at the 405th website. Looks fantastic! When Laird lets us know full details about the auction, we'll post them here! (Louis Wu 15:13:24 UTC) (permalink)
Gumball McJones - Best Spark Name Ever
RvB Revelation Chapter 8: Perusing The Archive went online last night, and things are getting tenser for everyone. Church and Caboose get into secret places, the Red team practices being deceptive, and Washington and the Meta find... something. Suspense ramps up! Go watch.
