Domino's Super Grab Bag Giveaway
Domino Theory has been giving away tons of stuff through our website for over two years now... and his latest is pretty cool.

All the details are on his standard Grab Bag Giveaway page - go look! (Louis Wu 21:02:31 UTC) (permalink)
13 panos - Hunters and more
nomis78 stopped in with a nice baker's dozen panoramas... everything from the small to the super-large is covered here! I love the Highlands shot, and that final one. Update: Eddy 071 added two of his own. (Louis Wu 20:01:31 UTC) (permalink)
Campaign Unfrigginbelievable Guide
So, if you want to earn a medal that's nearly unearnable - the 'Unfrigginbelievable' medal in Campaign - RC Master wants to help. He's put together a tutorial guide that can show you what you need to do to get to a place that ALLOWS that many kills in Campaign. (There are other locations - the start of LNoS, for example - where enemies are unlimited... but not many where ammo will hold out, and none that will bring that many kills to you in so little time.) Amazing! (Louis Wu 19:57:53 UTC) (permalink)

AotCR Bridge Descent Guide
Rockslider, in his typically thorough way, has put together a Bridge Descent Guide for the AotCR first bridge; it incorporates a boatload of information he's compiled over the past year or so, and shows off techniques of a variety of tricksters, going back as far as 9 years. Take a look - it's an impressive piece of work! (Louis Wu 18:52:38 UTC) (permalink)

Fails of Reach 7
CruelLEGACEY returns with Episode 7 of his Fails of Reach Series. Always a good laugh in there, even if most of them tend to bring my matchmaking misery into focus. Go give it a look! (GrimBrother One 15:53:10 UTC) (permalink)
Halo SPD: Flash Part Two: Liar
Hedgemony's back with the second part of his newest Special Projects Division comic - I'm not sure I fully understand what was going on during all pieces, but the artwork is gorgeous, and I'm intrigued for Part Three! Go see. (Louis Wu 13:47:31 UTC) (permalink)
The Voice of Halo
Last night, Devin Olsen stumbled across a home video filmed by a friend of Jeff Steitzer in which he demonstrates some of his Voice of God multiplayer announcements for a house full of amused people. Great to put a face to such a powerful voice! (Louis Wu 13:31:38 UTC) (permalink)
