Lady Avatar Armor - Going Cheap
If you have a female avatar on Xbox LIVE, and you'd like some armor for her... drop me a line. I've got 4 Emile shirts, 5 sets of red Spartan armor, 4 sets of green or blue Spartan armor, 2 sets of pink Spartan armor, and 20 sets of the RvB Grif Outfit. (Again, all of these are for FEMALE avatars; you will not be able to use them with a male avatar.) These codes are courtesy of 343 Industries, and I'd hate to see them go to waste!

Promo Video: Think Twice
Dart3rocks sent us word about a promo vid for Think Twice, a map we mentioned last week. One thing's for sure - the creators sure are working the marketing angles! (Louis Wu 19:02:34 UTC) (permalink)

Collapse
Moorpheusl9 noticed that Arby 'n' the Chief's Season 5 finale is now up. It's over half an hour long, and wraps up a whole bunch of the dangling threads from the last dozen or so episodes. (No, that wasn't a Greg pun. Mostly.) Go watch. (Louis Wu 18:56:42 UTC) (permalink)

'The Mona Lisa,' Part One
The first part of "The Mona Lisa" is now available on Halo Waypoint. It appears the web version is not working at the moment. Thanks for the heads up, General Vagueness! Update: The web version is now working. Go watch! (Hitmonchan 18:23:30 UTC) (permalink)

Reach FFA Tournament
Over at the Waypoint forums, Spartan117Ghost is hosting a free-for-all tournament next Saturday. The first-place winner will receive 4,000 Microsoft points, second place gets 3,200 points and third place will win 1,600 points. All of this is paid for out of his own pocket, so win, lose or draw, will you please thank him for his generosity? (Hitmonchan 17:49:20 UTC) (permalink)

Is nothing sacred?
Slashprofilms is back with another movie parody. "Dark Knight Parody" has some NSFW language, good laughs and a short running time -- a winning combination in my book. Go watch! (Hitmonchan 17:37:12 UTC) (permalink)

'CEmake' Suggestions
Over at Forward Unto Dawn, Dani offered ten suggestions for a Halo: CE remake. I thought his points about music, kill zones and keeping the plot intact were spot on. It's a great article. Give it a read! (Hitmonchan 17:27:45 UTC) (permalink)

Some things never change.
Firestorm12 let us know about Halopen Films' newest work - a pair of Warthog commercials. (30 second ad | 60 second ad) I'd buy one... props to Reclaimer52, who put them together. (Louis Wu 15:55:51 UTC) (permalink)

Romeo Day is Coming
Hedgemony stopped by with a teaser for his Romeo comic - Monday, May 30 is declared Romeo Day. Not only will he release his comic - he'll release a bunch of tribute art (one piece of which is included in this post). Can't wait! (Louis Wu 15:33:46 UTC) (permalink)

Indestructible
ZZoMBiE13 snagged the Invincible Grunt video we posted yesterday, and put it to music. Works pretty well! (Louis Wu 15:31:45 UTC) (permalink)

FNCC - Won
pete_the_duck announced a winner for his Flaming Ninja Challenge Contest last night - there were a lot of downloads, but only two entries to the actual contest. The winning run is embedded in his post. I gotta tell you, after watching it, I don't feel bad about not submitting - my fourteen hour, 742-death entry wouldn't have stood a chance.

Fails of the Weak, Volume 31
Sl'askia was the first to notice the newest Fails of the Weak, over at Achievement Hunter - some pretty fun clips this week! (Louis Wu 15:24:00 UTC) (permalink)

That smile scares me.
As it does most Fridays, the Bungie Weekly Update went live last night (both on Bungie.net, and in our own Weekly Update Archive) - some meaty stuff in there this time around. May Playlist changes, info about file-tagging changes (and other banhammer-related activities), a story of a 117 million point campaign game (no, that's not a typo), info about the Bungie Beta Tester survey (have you filled it out?), a reminder to buy Japan Quake Relief bracelets, and lots and lots of Warthog shots. And a song, and a vid. It's a veritable cornucopia of content! (Louis Wu 15:06:15 UTC) (permalink)
