The Headshot Heard 'Round the World
You'd think with all these giveaways and contests, it would be December, or something... nope, still October. We've got a new one for you - KontrolFreek wants to see your most impressive headshot clip. In return, they're giving away a whole bunch of FPS Freek Legendarys (they're controller enhancers - they'll make you play better), and some bigger prizes as well. Check out the full details on the contest page. And start domin'! (Louis Wu 19:48:54 UTC) (permalink)
Tuesday Video Pair
Couple of fun vids for you today, courtesy of Bungie's Comm Chatter: The WorkPLace has 'Fustom Friday', with plenty of hilarious hijinx... and Just Mad and Cray have a dualtage called 'Coexistence' - nice gameplay, not overly edited. Go watch! (Louis Wu 18:45:05 UTC) (permalink)
The First Mythic Conquerer
We got word from Tyrant that the first Mythic Conquerer has emerged - Legendary Smile has become the first person to finish every Reach Campaign level at Mythic Difficulty (Solo, Legendary, All Skulls On, no saves). Amazing! (Keep an eye out - Tyrant's Reach Mythic Guide will begin soon.) (Louis Wu 16:56:07 UTC) (permalink)
Domino's Grab Bag Giveaways, Round 12
Domino Theory has expanded the scope of his giveaways - you now get to pick what you'll receive, if you win! It's an embarrassment of riches. (Nothing's stopping you from entering both Domino's giveaway and Devin's giveaway... HBO is just your one-stop-shop for free stuff these days!) (Louis Wu 14:59:31 UTC) (permalink)
On Design-Centric Game Criticism
There's a discussion about game criticism at PopMatter's Moving Pixels, talking about how game design commentary can be useful even to those who haven't played the game if done right. Halo is used as an example. Great read! (Louis Wu 14:58:17 UTC) (permalink)
Social Infection Forge Contest
Hey You is running a Forge competition for Infection maps - you can read all the details in this group post on Bungie.net. Deadline is Halloween, and prizes include Live subscriptions, avatar codes, and more. Check it out! (Louis Wu 14:57:33 UTC) (permalink)
Tag and Release: Falcon
Geez. Almost missed yesterday's Tag and Release feature on Bungie.net - which would have been a shame, since there are some epic Falcon pics. Go look! (Louis Wu 14:57:07 UTC) (permalink)
Always a Bridesmaid
Elnea reminded us that she'd updated Halo Action Figure theater this weekend - it's a little... disturbing. Spartan Bride magazine, though, is amazing. (Louis Wu 14:55:37 UTC) (permalink)
Game For A Cure
spankysully stopped in to announce a Halo Reach tournament being run to raise money for cancer research. $20 per team to enter, tourney happens at the end of November. Go sign up! (Louis Wu 14:54:35 UTC) (permalink)
Fails of the Weak, Volume 3
ZZoMBiE13 sent word that Achievement Hunter's Fails of the Weak Volume 3 is now online - Jack and Geoff look at clips of bad luck (and bad playing). The Elite Slayer fail on Cage made me laugh out loud. (Louis Wu 14:54:09 UTC) (permalink)
Sneaky...
Ever wonder how Bungie put a Skirmisher on the roof of the first building in Winter Contingency... but never let you see it? (It shows up on your motion sensor, and you can HEAR it... but you can't see it.) Heh... they cheated. Thanks, Cuban Legend. (Louis Wu 14:53:25 UTC) (permalink)
