Quadrofailia
If you looked at the Prize List this time around for our Guilt O' Lantern contest, you'd have seen that the First Place winner will receive (among other things) a "Halloween-themed Mister Chief painting or drawing". A Waypoint Tweet today pointed to what that might look like... (thanks, bs angel) (Louis Wu 21:55:49 UTC) (permalink)
Halo 3 Double EXP Weekend: Fiesta FFA
Is it Thursday again? Hey - if you're not playing Reach (or Black Ops), maybe you wanna jump into a Halo 3 Double EXP Weekend playlist? This week, it's Fiesta FFA (unranked, unfortunately). Get your random on! Thanks, FyreWulff. (Louis Wu 21:09:10 UTC) (permalink)

Things You Wouldn't Expect, unless you're Louis Wu
Chris101b is back with his latest installment of Things You Wouldn't Expect. It's Episode 11 of his smirk-inducing series, and you should definitely go and give it a look! Chris also noticed that things seem to be affected by the Doppler effect in Reach. Go and see what he means! (GrimBrother One 20:30:10 UTC) (permalink)
Map Spotlight, Week 4: Terra Firma
It's Thursday, so it's time for Bungie (well, A rascal cat) to highlight another fan-built map - this one is called 'Terra Firma', and was created by El Roboto. Go read why you should try it out. (Louis Wu 20:09:11 UTC) (permalink)
Thursday CC Vids
Two new vids for you in Bungie's Comm Chatter today - SingleHaloClips released their Halo: Reach Community Montage for October, and Halo Reach Fails Episode 4 dropped, showing off a bunch of funny plays. Go watch! (Louis Wu 20:06:40 UTC) (permalink)
Nightfall - Ninja-fied
A few days ago (Sunday, to be precise), Halo Waypoint added a new 'Different Way to Campaign' feature - "Way of the Ninja". It described an interesting way to run Nightfall - be stealthy, like a ninja. No bullets, no grenades. Melee kills ONLY. HaloChallenges took them up on this, and has added it as a new challenge to their roster - there are specific kill limits you need to hit to get HC credit. Check it out... and start stabbing!

Pumpkin Voting - closing soon
Voting for the Guilt O' Lantern contest has slowed down considerably - we're going to give it another day, just in case, and announce winners tomorrow morning. If you haven't had a chance to peruse the fine offerings this year - consider this your warning to get it done!

Hmm... not Benny Hill, exactly...
It's no secret that lots of folks look for shortcuts to make some of the Challenges a bit easier. A couple of days ago, c0ld vengeance outlined a technique for grinding out this week's Weekly Challenge in just a couple of minutes. A day later, Beckx described the game film resulting from using this technique as "a goofy montage of elite stutter-death"... and today, Riceatron brings us a visual demonstration. (Azo 'Galvat rendered it for him, so you can watch it online.) That one's just crying out for the right soundtrack... (Louis Wu 13:22:57 UTC) (permalink)
Reach's Epilogue - Relaxed
BlueNinja felt that Reach's epilogue was delivered too quickly - so he recorded it without music, added pauses, then re-added music. The final product (obviously spoiler-laden) is now available for viewing. The difference (for me, at least) was really subtle; I actually had to play the two versions simultaneously to pin down the changes. If you felt, though, as BlueNinja did, that the lines were rushed... this might make you happier. (Louis Wu 13:21:02 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: Reach - Top Ten Kill (11.10.10)
ChrisTheeCrappy pointed out the latest Halo Reach Top 10 Kills vid from IGN - #2 made my jaw drop. (Louis Wu 13:20:07 UTC) (permalink)

It's not up on Marvel's site yet, but Littlebigman stopped in with what might be the artwork for the cover of Boot Camp #4 (issue 3 should be out in a couple of weeks).
