Thursday Afternoon at the Movies
Few new vids on Bungie.net's Comm Chatter today:
- Geoff channels Rage Quit's Michael on the latest Achievement HORSE - great maps, funny commentary. Even Gus showed up for #19.
- The Forgehub Testers Guild has been busy - check out their latest vid. Some very cool maps in there!
- no weakness posted another Black and Yellow parody (we highlighted one a few weeks ago). t-bagging, it's an art.

Reach brings home a Pulcinella
Hitmonchan found this a few days ago - but the site was a bit messed up, and it was hard to tell. Looks like Halo: Reach won the Interactive Animation Award at the 2011 Pulcinellas, an award ceremony for "International Television and Cross-Media Animation" in Italy. Congrats, guys!

Tashi's Weekly Montage Series - 04
Tashi continues his Weekly Montage Series - #4 has some fantastic clips. (Again, remember, all gameplay is his, and all gameplay was captured in the last 7 days. Some folks take months to build up enough decent clips for a montage.) I think I liked the clutch flag return on Countdown the best, but I had to wonder... where was the rest of his team?

A Goodbye to a Friend
I've seen Halo screenshots get used for a lot of things... but I don't think I've ever seen one used to create a tribute to a fallen comrade. Thanks, Hedge. That was beautiful. (Louis Wu 11:20:56 UTC) (permalink)

Leading Ladies of Halo, Plus a Fun Tidbit
An unrelated discussion on the Waypoint forums sent me digging for some information. What I found along the way was a very cool writeup from about a year ago on the GoingRampant Blog. The article focused on the role of female characters in the Halo series. It was a pretty cool look at some different aspects of the fiction, and even had a comment from Tobias Buckell that confirmed a very neat connection between Halo 3: ODST and Dirt from Halo: Evolutions. It's split into three parts, which you can find here: one, two, and three. It was certainly the first time I'd seen it. Go check it out! (GrimBrother One 08:17:22 UTC) (permalink)
