Wanna hang your Spartan?
Here's a new one - Jefftoolbox is offering his artistic services - for your Halo pleasure. He'll sketch your Reach character (you pick the armor, you pick the pose, you pick the lighting, etc), with colored pencils, on heavy paper... for $30. Check out the eBay listing to see some representative samples of his work. And sign up for a one-of-a-kind Reach keepsake! (Louis Wu 23:22:14 UTC) (permalink)

The most inconvenient convenience EVAR
Wow. ElzarTheBam pointed out an article at Joystiq about a Noble Map Pack pre-order deal from Gamestop that has me reaching for the duct tape... (We all need to keep our brains in our skulls SOMEHOW.) (Louis Wu 19:19:46 UTC) (permalink)
Fire Team Zulu: Rise and Shuffle
FyreWulff has another iteration of Fire Team Zulu for you today - one ODST Campaign challenge, and one Halo 3 Campaign challenge. Both are on Heroic difficulty. Go check 'em out - and Rise to the Challenges! (Louis Wu 17:06:32 UTC) (permalink)
Mythic Reach: ONI Sword Base
It's Friday, so it's time for another installment of Tyrant's Halo: Reach Mythic Difficulty Guide. This time, he tackles ONI Sword Base. The guide is quite hefty - 2 pages of text, 17 videos, all aimed at getting you successfully through a harrowing level in the most difficult circumstances. Check it out! (And remember, he's keeping up on his YouTube-based Legendary Guide, as well - the next level, Nightfall, is live now.

Guilt O' Lantern Contest: Results
This year's Guilt O' Lantern competition was the largest one ever - 150 entries. Took a long time to process them all so you could vote on them, and the voting itself took a while. But it slowed down to a trickle yesterday, so we turned off the spigot... and today, you'll find that the winners have been announced. My biggest regret is that we have only three prize categories - there were a couple of dozen pumpkins I'd love to reward with goodies! Such is life, though... go see who DID win!

Looks like Stuntmutt pulled today's One One Se7en from personal experience, again... (Louis Wu 12:48:53 UTC) (permalink)
TPP: This is How We Roll
Geekscape's Brian Gilmore sent word of the last Armor Ability still to be covered by the Teabag Prevention Team - Evade. Read up to see when to use it - and when NOT to use it. Roll your way to victory! (Louis Wu 12:48:05 UTC) (permalink)
Queso Man 8
Queso Man let us know about Queso Man 8, the "conclusive epilogue to the Queso Man saga". (The Queso Man vids are full of funny/silly moments in Halo 3 multiplay.) It was released just before Reach came out... but I guess he got distracted after that. Go watch! (Louis Wu 12:43:56 UTC) (permalink)
Friday's Fan Fiction
Just a couple of new entries in the Fan Fiction section this week - go read 'em! (Louis Wu 12:42:32 UTC) (permalink)
None of the Above
Forward Unto Dawn honcho Dani sent word of a new article that focuses on the Veto process of Halo: Reach's matchmaking. Give it a read, and throw in your own thoughts about how games are picked in Reach! (Louis Wu 12:39:10 UTC) (permalink)
The Bungie Community Snapshot Project
RollinRollin13 sent word that a new project - The TBCS Project - is in its initial phases; he hopes to build a Bungie Community Snapshot from a huge collection of tiny pictures. If you'd like to contribute, keep an eye on the website; they're not open for submissions yet, but will be soon. In the meantime, there's information about what he's trying to do, and what your submission will have to look like. Be a part of a true Septagon! (Louis Wu 12:37:04 UTC) (permalink)
Discussing Rocket Strategy in Klowntown
The Halo Humpday Challenge this week had Bungie facing off against Team Fire Fodder - members of Seattle's Fire Department. By the numbers, it was a rout - but the writeup makes it clear that it was a pretty fun evening, even for the team with fewer points. Go read! (Louis Wu 12:25:11 UTC) (permalink)
