Extra Life - Gamers Earn for Charity
Remember Extra Life? It's a 24 hour gaming marathon coming up in October; you can pledge money for each hour a gamer participates, and proceeds go to charity (the Texas Children's Hospital). Once again, Achievement Hunter is participating (thanks to Knuckles Dawson for the heads-up) - you should consider sponsoring them! (Louis Wu 20:00:56 UTC) (permalink)
Calling it marketing is a Reach...
Toxic Mayhem pointed out a small comic (and comment) at Zero Lives, lamenting the lack of marketing (so far) for Reach. Frankie says relax. (Louis Wu 19:56:42 UTC) (permalink)

Montage Mania
Bunch of new vids at Bungie's Comm Chatter (mostly montages):
- I've Got Love is a Halo 3 montage from ixRecoiL - man likes his sniper rifle.
- Gewdfellar released his first Halo 3 montage - he likes HIS sniper rifle, too.
- Chao has his first Halo 3 montage online too. Nice editing.
- Maxdoggy1 whipped up a screenshot montage from Halo Reach screens (mostly officially-released ones).
That should keep you busy for a few minutes... (Louis Wu 17:22:08 UTC) (permalink)

Tell your loved ones you will be in touch.
kaysik noticed a recent blog post by musician John Mayer, discussing how much he misses the original Halo. Not sure I agree with his views on multiplayer, but it's cool to read! (Mayer's always been a fan - we pointed this out in 2004, and again in 2006. Neither video, unfortunately, is still available.) (Louis Wu 15:48:17 UTC) (permalink)
