I think she wants a sammich.
NSFW, but pretty funny - what would XBL be like if the female population was as obnoxious as the male population? Thanks, MoltenSlowa. (Louis Wu 20:27:15 UTC) (permalink)
Top 10 Halo Cutscenes, Supplemental
Eep - too much going on, losing track of news. Maniac (who posted a huge 'Top 10 Halo Cutscenes' video a few days ago) got a bunch of feedback that not enough love was given to Halo 3: ODST or Halo Wars. So he's back with a supplement - 5 more scenes. Go watch. (Louis Wu 19:56:18 UTC) (permalink)
HaloDesktops - Halo Wallpaper Central
Looking for cool Halo artwork to adorn your computer screen? Firestream has kicked off HaloDesktops - a collection of some of the best. Check it out - vote for your faves, add your own, make this an amazing crowdsourced site! (Louis Wu 19:46:47 UTC) (permalink)
Well, THAT was unexpected.
Zee-V70 combined a bit from the recent "A Spartan Will Rise" video with a slightly older bit from a famous source of Halo mirth, and the product made me laugh. Go watch. (Louis Wu 19:05:07 UTC) (permalink)
Corvette, larger
Because you shouldn't have to settle for 720x405-sized shots of Corvette, we're hosting 1080p versions (one | two | three | four | five). Enjoy.

Multilevel Carnage
Awesome - 1UP's GameVideos has off-screen footage of Firefight gameplay on Corvette - it's a little blue, but you can get a good sense of the layout and flow. Thanks to butsomuch, over at NeoGAF, for the heads-up. Update: Part 2 is here (thanks, TravisSch).

Corvette Revealed
Over on Xbox UK's Facebook page, there are a few public shots (no Facebook login needed) of a new Firefight map just announced at Gamescom - 'Corvette' looks like a gorgeous Covenant space. Thanks, onebitrocket. (Louis Wu 11:38:31 UTC) (permalink)
Oh, look - a helmet with an observation tower
Mmm... yum. Halo: Reach cupcakes! Thanks, Hawty.

I like giraffes.
Red vs Blue Revelation Chapter 16: Standardized Testing went live last night. Tex relives a bad patch in her past, while Grif steps up his game. Go see! (Louis Wu 11:36:52 UTC) (permalink)
Joyride Figs for Sale
Jayshum stopped in with word of a bunch of auctions being run by a friend of his - lots of Joyride Halo 2 figures. Go see! (Louis Wu 11:36:18 UTC) (permalink)
Jonah the Headhunter
TDSpiral (one of the winners in the Halo Evolutions Art Contest) decided to follow up his Headhunters pic with another depiction of Jonah, a Spartan III from the story. Gorgeous! (Louis Wu 11:34:42 UTC) (permalink)
TTL - rounding up the troops
XerxdeeJ stopped in with word of a gathering of Halo faithful, preparing for the onslaught of Reach multiplay. Go visit Tied the Leader and see what the heads of the various factions of the Good Game Network are most looking forward to! Great read.

Waypoint - on Windows Phone 7
Whoa, funky. Looks like Halo Waypoint is one of the launch titles for the upcoming Windows Phone 7! You'll be able to get your Halo goodness on your Windows-enabled smartphone... very nice! Thanks, Nick. (Louis Wu 11:32:41 UTC) (permalink)
Remember Reach
Looks like the Reach marketing campaign is about to swing into full action - before the Bungie ViDoc went live, our forum was pretty active exploring a new website, Remember Reach. A bunch of things were discovered over the course of last night - many of which have been closed down (it seems the folks building the site aren't quite ready to go fully live yet). You can read through the forum thread for details, or check out Dani's nice summary of what's been found so far, over at NeoGAF.

Play'd talks to Sketch
NeoGAF's Hypertrooper pointed out a German interview with Brian Jarrard, focusing on Halo Reach; the opening of the show is in German, but never fear, the interview itself (and it's a hefty one) is in English. Lots of info that hardcore fans already have... but there are definitely a few new tidbits buried in there. Go watch!

A Spartan Will Rise
Swing by Bungie.net for the newest treat from our Reach overlords - 'A Spartan Will Rise' is a three-minute thrill-ride into Halo: Reach's campaign. (Will it spoil the game for you? Highly unlikely, since Bungie wants nothing more than for you to be bowled over on September 14. That said - if you're staying Campaign-dark, stay away. Will it whet your appetite for more? Well, if you're anything like me... yeah. Yeah, x1000.) Think you know Noble Team? Speculators... start your engines! (It's up on YouTube, too, if you have an aversion to downloads.)
