FLAME ON
Have you ever felt jealous of Bungie employees for being able to wear Flaming Helmets in Halo 3 Matchmaking? (You shouldn't, really, because it makes it very hard to hide when you're using Invis...) For today only, Bungie's making that option available to EVERYONE in Matchmaking. Get on, go play, and light that head on fire! (Thanks, Time_Glitch, for noticing so quickly.)

Bungie Dayathon 2010: Going on now!
Just a reminder: FyreWulff's Bungie Dayathon 2010 is under way; he's about to start playing Oni, and a large block of Halo is following that directly. Go watch, go contribute - all money goes to the Brian Morden Foundation! (Louis Wu 17:34:28 UTC) (permalink)
How Do We Love Halo?
Hawty McBloggy posted her Bungie Day Community Project - it's many, many poems and images from fans showing their love for Bungie and Halo in a myriad of ways. Go explore! Without fans like Hawty (who give other fans a place to express their love for the game, and the game's creators), Bungie wouldn't be the company it is today! (Louis Wu 17:26:28 UTC) (permalink)
Gamestop Pre-order Reach Exclusive
Looks like Gamestop is offering an exclusive bonus to folks who pre-order Reach at one of their stores (or online): UA Multi-Threat Mjolnir Mark V(B) Armor. Sigh... (Thanks to eLcHuPaNiBrE 93 for finding this.) (Louis Wu 17:19:33 UTC) (permalink)
Audio Play Celebrates Bungie Day
Dream053 had created a 13-minute audio play in honor of Bungie Day '08 - we didn't mention it then, and he's reposted it, so we're mentioning it now! Go listen to John, Steve, and Joe's EXCELLENT Recon Road Trip.

McFarlane's Bungie Day Offering at G4
G4TV has a preview of some of the new Reach toys coming from McFGarlane - an orange Spartan, and Emile. Very cool! (If you just want the gallery, it's here.) Thanks, InnerRayg.

Visual Guide to the First Person Shooter
GrimBrother One noticed a Guide to First Person Shooters at Kotaku - lots of history, and Halo shines!

Customs Clan Bungie Day Video
Okay, as much as I want to make sure everyone sees that truly awesome Bungie Day video from Bungie and RvB, we DO have a bunch of Halo news in the queue, and a lot of it is fan-created celebratory material, so let's get to it! First up: hyokin whipped up the Customs Clan Bungie Day Video, which actually made me chuckle. Go watch!

Deja View
So Bungie made it clear that there wouldn't be any new maps coming, or Xbox LIVE Dashboard Themes, or gamerpics, or any of that stuff. Sketch even made it clear that they needed to outsource the actual product, because the studio didn't have the time to give it the love it deserved. Are your expectations low enough? Go download 'Deja View'... you won't be disappointed. Congrats to EVERYONE involved; there is so much goodness embedded in 5 minutes that you may have trouble picking up all the clever tidbits by yourself. What do YOU see?
