Spawning Another Weekly Update
Don't forget to check out the Bungie Weekly Update. It's amazing what you can do with spawn-points, isn't it? Don't miss some news about Bungie Pro subscriptions, an awesome Blame Stosh, and some AMAZING backgrounds that will be adorning desktops everywhere like they've been adorning the backgrounds of the Reach menus for months. Go look! (GrimBrother One 22:23:35 UTC) (permalink)
Grifball Highlight Frenzy
Goosechecka wanted to make sure you all knew about Grifball Hub's latest awesome collaboration with Halo Waypoint. Definitely take time to check out The Grifball Highlight Frenzy. Some AWESOME ball-exploding, carrier-killing moments in there. Go watch! (GrimBrother One 19:47:22 UTC) (permalink)
Are you ready for The Ultimate Reach Experience?
The second Halo Waypoint auction to raise money for Play Japan is online now; it's called 'The Ultimate Halo Reach Experience', and I don't think that name is too far off! You get a Limited Edition Reach Xbox 360 Slim, a Legendary statue, signed by Todd McFarlane and Bungie, Astro A40s, a second copy of Reach, a copy of Halo Wars, a copy of Halo 3, Xbox avatars, Reach DLC, and a LIVE membership. You've got 6 days - let's hope you've got a big wallet! (Remember: 100% of the final sales price goes to the American Red Cross, for use in Japanese disaster relief.)

Divinus Ruina
Over at Forward Unto Dawn, Postmortem has written up 'Divinus Ruina', an overview of the San'Shyuum, known better to most Halo players as Prophets. If you haven't kept up on all the ancillary fiction (or even if you have!), this does a nice job of summmarizing the history of the race. Thanks, Dani. (Louis Wu 15:19:07 UTC) (permalink)
The (near) future of war helmets
Richard Trammell sent a link from Techi - it's a look at in-development military vision technologies that, when combined, end up producing a helmet that should look awfully familiar to Halo fans. Eeeeenteresting... (I wonder if they'll have to unlock them via Waypoint? -Grim) (Louis Wu 14:43:34 UTC) (permalink)
Ambush
TTL Demag0gue drew our attention to the latest Reclaimer - Viper's back, and Reclaimer might have some trouble on his hands. (Louis Wu 14:31:49 UTC) (permalink)
Interview with Director of Halo: Faith
The Examiner has an interview with Jared Pelletier, the director of the upcoming fan-created Halo film, Halo: Faith. Give it a read to see where they're going! Thanks, ElzarTheBam.

CrazedOne1988 put together a video showcasing the entire Halo series, in honor of its upcoming 10th anniversary. It worked really well for me - go watch! (Louis Wu 13:43:31 UTC) (permalink)
Special Delivery
Mazz got a great shot of Noble Six from an angle we don't normally see him (or her)... beautiful!

Hedge's Pano Guide
Hedge put together a nice little guide to creating panoramas, assuming you've got Photoshop CS2 or higher (or Elements). Handy!

Memento
RVideo let us know about a brand-new Halo 2 montage from KBlocker - I couldn't get the Halo3Forum to load, but the YouTube link works fine. Ah, memories...
