Halo Effect 3
Jimbothy let us know about Halo Effect 3, a Halo/Mass Effect machinima mashup. (Audio is from the Mass Effect 3 trailer, video is from Halo.) Not bad! (Louis Wu 22:04:33 UTC) (permalink)
Gourde Poster Series gets new press
JDQuackers pointed out a piece created by Matthew Davis a couple of years ago (it was just highlighted by Kotaku today, but hit the web in 2008) - it uses the Master Chief as a (literal) poster boy for desensitization. Agree or disagree - it's nicely presented. Update: our forum thread elicited comments from the poster's designer. (Louis Wu 20:33:36 UTC) (permalink)
Achievement Horse #3
Achievement Hunter has released Achievement Horse #3 - another set of fan-made challenges are attacked by Geoff and Jack, with great commentary. What an awesome series! Go watch, and go download the maps so you can try these yourself. Thanks, Overdoziz.

January 4th is coming soon!
GrimBrother IV noticed a Facebook Wall photo from Greg Bear - looks like he's gotten his advance copies of Cryptum. (For folks who don't have a Facebook account, and can't see this - a localized version is here, and the caption reads "Is it even okay to open the box yet?"?) Gotta love those slippers!

Group Hug, Everyone!
They're on vacation, so Bungie.net's front page isn't being updated... but Bungie put out their last podcast of the year yesterday, you can find it on the Podcast page. Marcus, Joe Tung, Lee Wilson, and Chris Carney join urk in the recording booth to discuss Reach, what wasn't, and what was. Great stuff! Go listen. Thanks to geekinabox, who noticed it on the RSS feed. (Louis Wu 14:44:06 UTC) (permalink)
Where is that in the Armory?
NASA recently published photos of various spacesuit variants, some that have been used, and some that never made it into service. There are even some very cool x-ray shots taken of them. What's the Halo connection? Take a look at picture number 5, and you tell me. They even got the color right. Cue new Waypoint Ordnance piece in 3, 2, 1... (GrimBrother One 13:50:46 UTC) (permalink)

CruelLEGACEY sends word that he has a new Reach guide available, and this time it's for the Noble Map Pack Achievements. If you've been having a time with trying to recomplete Reach's Achievement list, definitely go and give this a look! (GrimBrother One 13:46:36 UTC) (permalink)
