Halo Collection for Sale
Ron Dagan let us know that he's auctioning off a collection of Halo memorabilia, including all games in unopened packages, plus a bunch of statues, action figures, books, and ancillary DVDs. There's also a piece of Halo 3 Limited Edition artwork by Isaac Hannaford (only 500 were made). 15% of the final sale price will go towards the Gulf Restoration Network - a great cause at this particular time! Swing by and give it a look; there are 9 and a half days left on the auction. Starting bid is just under $2k. (Louis Wu 19:54:25 UTC) (permalink)

This Spartan Life on Waypoint
If you visit Halo Waypoint on Xbox LIVE today, you can see a new episode of This Spartan Life - this one has Damian Lacedamian making me sound much better than I normally would. Cool community maps, too! Thanks to DEEP NNN for the reminder.

Blame Urk
The Bungie Weekly Update went live last night - later than usual, but SketchFactor did a great job of shifting most of the blame to urk. (Slacker spent the day with his mom. Pfft.) It's an interesting read - status report on Reach, some fun bugs, new artwork and stats screens... Go look! It is, of course, also available in our Weekly Update Archive.
