Snipers Are Wussies - in Reach
Bryan Simon let us know about Snipers Are Wussies, a Halo Reach Montage. It differs from your average montage in that the music is written (and performed) by the montage maker. (The song has been around for a couple of years, and in fact has already been turned into a montage... but this is the first Reach version, and it's pretty funny. (Louis Wu 18:04:59 UTC) (permalink)

Time to bake that cake
ZZoMBiE13 has come back to close the loop - he's submitted one final episode of Another Halo Comic Strip. It's funny, and it's fantastically drawn, and it's got a sad goodbye attached. You should go look. (Louis Wu 14:45:47 UTC) (permalink)

Spine Chilling.
Today's One One Se7en shows in clear terms why it's a very, very good thing that Stuntmutt wasn't hired to write dialogue for Reach. (Louis Wu 14:41:31 UTC) (permalink)
