The World of Halo
Hedgemony rounded up a bunch of Halo mentions on Tumblr - see what others are saying/doing about the game! (Louis Wu 22:15:18 UTC) (permalink)
Guilt O' Lantern Hiccups
Wow, I'm sorry to be writing this so late... but I'm also surprised I have to write it at all. I was sorting through the entries for the Guilt O' Lantern contest, and was THRILLED that there were almost 200 entries. Then I started looking at them - and realized that a huge number don't qualify for Rule #2: they have to be at least 640x480 in size. Maybe it's the advent of cellphone cameras, or maybe it's just that folks don't want to take the time to upload large images - but by the time I'd removed the ineligible entries, we were down to well under 150 entries. If you think you might have uploaded an image that was too small... please, submit it again, in a larger size, in the next 6 hours. Thanks! (Louis Wu 21:40:09 UTC) (permalink)
OLR, AntC Updates
jon cjg has released new vids for both his One Life Remaining and Arby 'n' the Chief series - OLR S2 Episode 12 has nasty goings-on at the University of Esoteria's graduation ceremony, and Arby 'n' the Chief S4 Episode 10 ("Night of the Evading Dead") has our heroes teaming up against a griefer. (Loved the 'Blue Thunder' moment.) Go watch. (Louis Wu 18:00:59 UTC) (permalink)
Reach M6B Pistol for Sale
smick6 has been busy in his workshop - the latest result is a Halo: Reach M6B pistol, which you can buy on eBay right now. Handmade from various materials, including styrene and clay, molded, then cast as a solid urethane plastic final product. Weighs about a pound and a half. Gorgeous! (He also offers a non-painted DIY kit - it's cheaper, but you do your own work.) More photos (LOTS more) can be found in this Photobucket collection, and his build process and info on the construction have been documented on the 405th forums. (Louis Wu 16:53:20 UTC) (permalink)

Stuntmutt has a little Halloween wish for you with today's Holiday-special One One Se7en. (Don't forget - submissions end tonight for the Guilt O' Lantern contest... just 11 more hours to get yours in!) (Louis Wu 16:38:21 UTC) (permalink)
This is Halloween 2.0
AssaultGodzilla has remade his 'This is Halloween' Halo music video (the first version came out last year, but doesn't seem to be available any more). Fantastic timing, great clips. Go watch it - and get in the mood! (Louis Wu 16:36:27 UTC) (permalink)
A Fistful of Arrows - International
Awesome - Leviathan stopped by with links to French and Spanish translations of his 'A Fistful of Arrows' story; if you're a native French or Spanish speaker, and English is hard for you, read these! (To be absolutely clear: Leviathan doesn't work for Bungie, he doesn't work for Microsoft, this story is completely from his own brain. Nobody's "sanctioned" the storyline, this is not canon, it's just a fan's creation. Granted, it's a SPECTACULAR creation, and LOOKS pretty darned official... but it's not.)

Quad Package
Tyrant (who's well on his way to a releasable Mythic Guide for Halo: Reach - stay tuned for details) has a Haloween treat for you - a video of four-player Mythic gameplay on The Package, rendered for your viewing pleasure on Bungie.net. It's nearly 50 minutes long - but MAN, it's fun. (Louis Wu 16:33:09 UTC) (permalink)
The Best Video Games Right Now
Thomas Robinson let us know that Reach made Gizmodo's "The Best Video Games Right Now" list - the environment and graphics are "poetic". Nice! (Louis Wu 16:30:19 UTC) (permalink)

GodlyPerfection stopped in yesterday with three more Forge lessons (and a PDF version for folks who get tired of reading online). Check out his post for summaries and links! (Louis Wu 16:28:43 UTC) (permalink)
