The Gift that Keeps on Giving
Last week, I held a contest on my Twitter account (shameless plug) for a Mark V Spartan helmet (It's actually a Mark VI, but who's counting? ;-) -Grim), and Hyokin was the lucky winner. Instead of keeping it for himself, he decided to be charitable and hold a contest for it. All you need to do is draw, take a screenshot or Photoshop a picture of a purple Spartan rocking the EVA helmet. Also, I completely misinformed him about the helmet. It's for both male and female avatars. For some reason I thought he was talking about the Spartan armor. Sorry about that, mate! (Hitmonchan 20:04:32 UTC) (permalink)

Making Gold from Clay
We heard from Antithesis recently; check out his Halo Sculpture gallery (specifically the third page) for great shots of a new, Reach-style Hunter and a very cool tribute to Waypoint's bs angel. Awesome beans! (Louis Wu 17:21:13 UTC) (permalink)

Myyke's HBO 'All Halos' Competition: Week One
I love our community. Check out this contest from Myyke - he's looking for cool screenshots of ODSTs (either in-game or manipulated, just like Bungie's All-Stars rules). He'll pick his favorite 7 entries, and award each one a valid serial number from a stack of Italian Halo PC copies he's got. What does this get you? It gets you a Halo nameplate on Bungie.net. He'll be running this contest for 3 weeks, total; you'll have to come back next week to see what the criteria for the next 7 winners are. Myyke - you rock. (Louis Wu 16:09:59 UTC) (permalink)

The Yorker's Top 10 Gaming Easter Eggs
I meant to put this up Monday: Four members of The Yorker put together their list of the top 10 gaming Easter eggs. Our favorite food nipple Grunt from Halo: CE made the cut, along with an infamous glitch from Pokemon Red/Blue and Google Earth. (Hitmonchan 04:52:57 UTC) (permalink)

Bombs Disarmed
Thanks to all of your hard work, GrifballHub's missing bombs have been recovered. For their dedication and perseverance, six soldiers have been given Grifball armor and accessories (presumably of the avatar variety). Congrats to the winners! I might take note of this for future contests... (Hitmonchan 04:29:03 UTC) (permalink)

In Episode 20, Anoj put together the top 10 greatest moments from September until now. No. 2 on the list is still one of my favorite Reach clips yet. Just a reminder: Anoj is accepting submissions for the next three episodes, "Unusual Kills (Episode 21)," "Exterminations (22)" and "Epic Fails (23)."

How Far Did the Apple fall From the Tree?
Kotaku just put out a blog post reminiscing about Halo's early days on the Mac platform and thoughts on what might have been. Certainly no footage that hasn't been around for a decade, but still always fun to give it a look again nonetheless. In fun related news, Marty himself wanted to add a few different reminders that Halo was always going to be cross-platform for both Mac and PC from the very beginning. You can learn a lot from your Elders... (GrimBrother One 04:04:01 UTC) (permalink)
