Ataraxia
James 'CROSSFIRE' Dubose posted the full version of Ataraxia - you can watch it all the way through on Vimeo, or in two segments on YouTube (Part 1 | Part 2). It's just under 20 minutes long, and REALLY nicely done. Powerful piece. Go watch. (Watch till the end.) (Louis Wu 18:51:13 UTC) (permalink)
Team Slayer: Reflection (Full Match)
Halo Waypoint has put up a full Team Slayer match on Reflection - if you've been interested to see how this gorgeous reimagining looks in more than dribs and drabs, swing by and watch! Thanks, jlm699. (Louis Wu 16:30:25 UTC) (permalink)
The Widow
Pierre Tartaix sent word that TGO GMBH has a new machinima up - The Widow tells the tale of a woman seeking revenge against her husband's killer. No spoken dialogue - just text balloons. (The group is French, and this is an easy way to keep the content international.) Nicely filmed! (Visit their website for more vids.) (Louis Wu 15:21:05 UTC) (permalink)
Avault Reach Giveaway
Mark Turcotte sent word that Avault is giving away 3 bundles of an Xbox 360 Slim AND a copy of Halo: Reach - you can enter if you live in North America. Pretty cool! Halo fans should also check out Episode 98 of their podcast - it's due to air September 9, and will feature Chris Carney as the guest. (We'll certainly remind you ahead of time.) They're considering the idea of community questions for Chris - and if this happens, we'll tell you that, too. For now - go register to win!

It's Friday again! That means it's time for Friday Caption Fun at Hawty McBloggy's. Last week's pic is up, with some funny captions... and a new, dying-to-be-captioned pic of Spartan tenderness is waiting for you. Go play. (Louis Wu 13:52:54 UTC) (permalink)
Ask Bungie at Gamescom
NeoGAF's Hypertrooper pointed out a Tweet from Xbox UK Community Manager Graeme Boyd; apparently, there's going to be a webchat with Bungie folks during Gamescom next week (Brian and Luke will both be there, I think), and you can participate! (Louis Wu 13:52:20 UTC) (permalink)
Top Ten Halo Cutscenes
Maniac spent some time with the cutscenes from the Halo series - and put together a 50-minute video outlining his Top 10 Halo Cutscenes, including rationale. A great nostalgic walk! (Louis Wu 13:51:53 UTC) (permalink)

Friday's Fan Fiction
There were no new stories in the Fan Fiction queue last week - and only one this week. I guess the community is slowing down! (Louis Wu 13:41:00 UTC) (permalink)
The Dew Flood Begins
Lots of people remembered the Mountain Dew/Halo tie-ins with both Halo 2 and Halo 3, and have been wondering when the Reach versions would appear - looks like now. Sai-Kun got a message about Honoring the Code last night (here's a right-side-up version, for easier reading). It's not Game Fuel this time around... but you CAN win stuff.
