Halo Waypoint plays Santa
In the 'heartwarming ending to sad stories' category, Kotaku has an article about gaming companies (including the Halo Waypoint team) providing replacement goodies for a medical center in North Carolina, where a not-very-nice person recently stole a bunch of consoles meant for kids recovering from cancer. Congrats, EA and Waypoint! And boo to the jerk who thought that child cancer patients were a decent source of free consoles. Thanks, Rolandk73. (Louis Wu 20:10:19 UTC) (permalink)
Fails of the Weak Volume 12
Fails of the Weak Volume 12 is now online at Achievementhunter.com - the only thing worse than having your clip highlighted on this series is getting ridiculed by Jack and Geoff while you fail. Good stuff. Thanks, Mid7night. (Louis Wu 19:37:27 UTC) (permalink)
I'm an Armor-Locking Fool - Winner
Congrats to Twen7yOz Slayer - his entry in our recent "I'm an Armor-Locking Fool" contest was chosen by Hypertrooper as the winner! (There were actually several top contenders, so Hypertrooper picked one of THOSE at random.) A Reach shirt and cap will be on its way from Germany shortly! (Louis Wu 17:19:36 UTC) (permalink)
Fire Team Zulu (Digest Edition)
FyreWulff reminded us that even though there haven't been updates on HBO (or B.net), there HAVE been new challenges posted at Fire Team Zulu - both Reach and Halo 3 challenges, culled from community suggestions. Good stuff! Read the summary in his forum post, or all the details in the FTZ newspost. Challenge yourself! (Louis Wu 17:04:32 UTC) (permalink)
Assault on Squad 45
MegaBLOKS has put together a stop-motion movie using their Halo figures, and some fun special effects. Really nice work! Assault on Squad 45 Part 1 is on YouTube right now; a teaser for Part 2 (to be released next Saturday) is available on their website, if you're willing to sign up for the Mega BLOKS Brigade. Take a look! (Louis Wu 15:56:17 UTC) (permalink)
Don't bore Emile. He doesn't like it.
Wow... I knew Emile could be crass, but... Thanks to T07WRX5 for the find. (Louis Wu 15:43:58 UTC) (permalink)
Mythic Difficulty Guide: Long Night of Solace
Long Night of Solace may be the most diverse level in Halo's campaign - it's got outdoor combat, space combat, indoor combat... it's a veritable cornucopia of Covenant carnage. And now you've got a guide that can help you through it at its roughest! Tyrant has released the LNoS chapter of his Mythic Difficulty Guide - it's heavily loaded with video (21 clips this time around!), plus text descriptions of the preferred plans of attack. Go study it - then make your own Mythic run! (And as always, if Mythic is out of your league, or if you just need some practice before attempting it, he's one week ahead on his Legendary Guide at YouTube; the walkthrough for Exodus - in three parts - went up last night.)

Xbox Elite Stencil
Orange Chikin stenciled an Elite on his Xbox - a fine way to show his Halo love! (Louis Wu 13:56:50 UTC) (permalink)

Funny Halo Reach Fails and Laughs 6
lostguru pointed out that the sixth episode of Funny Halo Reach Fails and Laughs went live a couple of days ago - some interesting clips, but maybe not enough to flesh out a 9 minute video. Go see for yourself! (Louis Wu 13:53:56 UTC) (permalink)
