Get your hands on some Halo stuff
DocOctavius is selling off some his Halo schwag - he wanted HBO readers to know about a relatively rare Joyride action figure (you've got a day and a half). Other stuff coming... so keep an eye on his account! (Louis Wu 20:51:52 UTC) (permalink)
Does Coors need a new spokesman?
What does Master Chief need after shooting one too many ugly bugs? A little frosty brew, of course. (Louis Wu 20:49:44 UTC) (permalink)
Hey Chief, let's do it again
bs angel noticed a blog called 'Master Chief Off Duty' - it's a lot like Halo Action Figure Theater, except without the plotlines. Master Chief cleans up his house, takes a break by the pool, has a picnic with a friend, gambles a bit. Pictures are great! Looking forward to future updates. (Louis Wu 20:05:56 UTC) (permalink)
Details on Halo Marketplace changes
TCKaos pointed out that in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace Spotlight, there's a video called 'Add-ons, Avatar Gear, Arcade' that details some of the new goodies coming on July 22. The Legendary Map Pack drops in price to 160 MS Points (that's just over a buck!), while the Mythic Map Pack is reduced to 400 Points. (For comparison, those prices are currently 600 and 800 Points, respectively.) The new avatar goodies are also revealed (screenshot here) - note the 'Helmet not available until game releases' warning at the bottom. (Louis Wu 19:03:01 UTC) (permalink)

PBS Broadcast of Video Games Live
We've mentioned the PBS broadcast on PBS a few times - PBS posted a new page with a press release, a teaser vid, and a short description. I can't find it in my local listings yet... but it's coming soon! (Louis Wu 14:59:54 UTC) (permalink)
Build your own Oonsk
Wow... Belakor built a cardboard Oonsk, and then created a papercraft template for the little guy, so you can make your own. I know some folks who might be unhappy about that... (Louis Wu 14:44:52 UTC) (permalink)
Finished!
onebitrocket pointed out a new tweet from Marty O'Donnell (5:17 am his time!) which says 'Finished!' Does Marty mean his work on Reach? His work on an Official Reach Soundtrack? That bagel he started at 5 am? Here's hoping we find out at some point.

Man, those boxes are HUGE
Bungie's Derek Carroll posted a pair of pics of Bungie employees standing next to the Reach Legendary packaging, to give you a sense of scale. And a laugh. (Thanks, Hydranockz.)

Spike Grenade for sale
We showed off a cool spike grenade from smick6 last year - Hawty McBloggy noticed yesterday that one of them just went up for sale on eBay. You've got a day and a half left to make your decision; starting bid is $150, and MAN it's pretty.
