More on that London Jetpack Spartan Stunt
Last week, we mentioned a video of a jetpack-wearing Spartan flying around Trafalgar Square in London - VG247.com has posted a video of the setup for this, along with the other Spartans at the event. Fun! Thanks, Laird. (Louis Wu 19:43:59 UTC) (permalink)
Tag and Release: Elite
w00t! Tag and Release is back at Bungie.net - which means two things: cool screenshots are a link away, and (more importantly) the B.net tag search is fixed! Yay! Go look at what 'Elite' brings up. (Louis Wu 18:28:56 UTC) (permalink)
OLR, ANTC (Acronyms FTW)
Over the weekend, JonCJG updated his blog to reflect the latest videos in his One Life Remaining and Arby 'n' the Chief series:
- One Life Remaining S2: Episode 8
- One Life Remaining S2: Episode 9
- Arby 'n' the Chief S04E07: "B&" (1/2)
Katherine is seriously nuts... and The Chief does a bad, bad thing. (Louis Wu 17:13:20 UTC) (permalink)
The Long Haul, Day One: Page 11
Adam Susskind let Bungie know that Episode 11 of his webcomic, the Long Haul, Day One is up to Page 11. Snow is everywhere. (Louis Wu 17:10:44 UTC) (permalink)
Comics never die...
The final Grin + Bear It on Hawty McBloggy's site is up and live, along with a note from luke - because she's moving to Waypoint, her personal site has to be shut down, and GaBI was one of the casualties. Except... not. We've provided a new home for the strip, and luke will pick up here where he left off there. Viva La Pez! (Louis Wu 15:32:04 UTC) (permalink)
Golden Joystick Awards: Shooter Nominees
I'm not sure how much more press to give this - it's just a popularity contest, after all - but The Golden Joystick Awards have just released a video showing off the Shooter nominees. Halo 3: ODST is in the running. The actual awards show happens on October 29, so I'm guessing we're not done hearing about this yet. (If I sound skeptical, it's because voting opened 3 months ago; how long does it take to pick your favorite game?) (Louis Wu 15:28:01 UTC) (permalink)
Grifball Supports Child's Play
GrifballHub.com is auctioning off a couple of cool items, with 100% of the proceeds going to Child's Play. Swing by to read about their inspiration, and about the items for sale (a signed copy of RvB: The Recollection, and a Noble 6 figure signed by 13 Bungie employees). This community rocks!

Last Man Standing
Back in July, we mentioned 'Orbidome', a gameshow set in the Halo gamespace - get questions wrong, you get killed. itsmyyard is back with word that the show is now exclusive to Machinima.com, and rebranded 'Last Man Standing'. First show is on YouTube now. Update: Apologies, Orbidome is a completely DIFFERENT gameshow set in Halo's space - itsmyyard hopes to have that one up on Machinima.com soon too.

A Brief History of Halo
KP was the first to point out a screenshot-based History of Halo at Time Magazine. The piece itself is nothing special - but the fact that it's 15 pictures long in a huge national magazine is pretty impressive!

Cortana Thighs
Hawty McBloggy pointed out a pretty intricate leg tattoo someone got - it's apparently still a work in progress, though it's looking pretty amazing so far!

Game Design as a Teaching Tool
The New York Times has a lengthy article discussing a school in New York that focuses on teaching middle-schoolers with video games. Pretty interesting read! Halo gets quite a number of mentions (though it's not actually used in the classroom, as far as I can tell). Thanks, Free at Last.

Halo Reach Tribute
epicgamer7 created a short film to express his excitement for Reach - nicely done! (Louis Wu 14:56:10 UTC) (permalink)
Waiting for Reach
psh ikari sent a link to a video made in a mall while waiting for the midnight launch of Reach - Spartan armor + boredom leads to some odd filming options...

PlatformNation looks back at Halo
PlatformNation has a two-part look back at the Halo games leading up to Reach - while the series is called 'Games That Nobody Plays Anymore', it's more just about looking back a bit. Part One covers Halo and Halo 2, Part Two covers Halo 3 and ODST. (Louis Wu 14:54:30 UTC) (permalink)
E.O.A. Episode 1
MelkorTheGreat let us know he'd created Halo: Reach Tricks/Glitches - E.O.A. Episode 1 for DWT Productions - there's more coming.

Reach Mythbusters Episode 1
The DefendTheHouse crew has released Reach Mythbusters Episode 1 - and as they did for Halo 3, they present a number of interesting tidbits about the game in 'myth' format, and either confirm or bust these. Great stuff! Thanks, Minime637. (Louis Wu 14:52:55 UTC) (permalink)
Optical Overload and Halo
Free Weights pointed out a couple of recent Halo-themed strips from Optical Overload - pretty funny! If you go back through the strip's several-month history, you'll find a number of Halo-related strips. (The archive listing helpfully tells you what games are involved in each strip.)
