Celebration Contingency Has Been Declared
katancik won a package of goodies from Bungie for his very early All-Star win - t-shirts, an action figure, and (best of all) birthday cards... with his own winning design. Awesome! (Louis Wu 23:13:17 UTC) (permalink)
Blockin' out the scenery
Stephen Loftus sent us another 20 signs for his "Signs of Halo" collection - they're spread out amongst almost all groups. This brings the total for the collection to 200 - not too shabby! (Louis Wu 22:42:41 UTC) (permalink)
The Mona Lisa Part 2
The saga continues on Halo Waypoint for The Mona Lisa motion comic. Still building, but getting better and better. Go check it out! Thanks to General Vagueness who also mentioned it on our forums. (GrimBrother One 15:40:31 UTC) (permalink)
Can a chainsaw cut through Spartan armor?
Hitmonchan, just before heading out for a weekend of debauchery and pantsless reveling, stopped into our forum with word of an interesting aside in an interview with Epic's Cliffy B. Apparently, the Master Chief COULD have been in Gears 3, but the idea was nixed by Microsoft because Gears is a bit too... bloody. Go read Cliffy's description of what might have been!

A fan says PLAY!
Bones153 wanted to give folks some serious incentive to complete this week's Weekly Challenge - four copies of the Defiant Map Pack (or the equivalent in MSP, if you have it already) for the 4-player team that could score the highest and have the most fun. Read his (well-documented) post for full rationale, and rules - but be aware that it was supposed to happen last night at 10pm, so you're just reading to see what fan love can lead to. (Sorry I didn't get this posted yesterday!) Update: I'm wrong - you've got a week and a half! (Thanks to munky-058 for pointing out the rules addition I missed.) Get your team together, and win a ton of points! (Louis Wu 13:23:10 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Faith: The Lone Spartan
DeviantART's Mesmeretics released the first official poster for Halo: Faith (the fan movie we've been seeing lots of recently). Suitably grandiose! Thanks again, munky-058. Update: Looks like Grim noticed this yesterday (and I didn't). Oops! (Louis Wu 13:18:50 UTC) (permalink)
Grenade Launcher Clinic
If you're playing Stockpile, and you have an epic encounter, what better outcome could there be than to turn that into a machinima of sorts? Thanks to GAF's Account Attempt #4 for pointing this out. Made me laugh. (Louis Wu 13:13:08 UTC) (permalink)
Halo [R]Evolved - Truth and Reconciliation
SonGoharotto stopped by yesterday with another rewrite of his version of Pillar of Autumn, a rewrite of his version of Halo, and a brand-new release - Truth and Reconciliation. The overhaul of the original Halo script (to bring it more inline with newer canon material) continues! (Louis Wu 13:10:50 UTC) (permalink)
Fails of the Weak Volume 32
Fails of the Weak Volume 32 is now online - this shows that there are still plenty of silly happenings in Halo games, and lots of them result in funny death. Go watch! Thanks, munky-058. (Louis Wu 13:08:09 UTC) (permalink)
