Fails of the Weak Volume 40
Achievement Hunter's Fails of the Weak Volume 40 (amazingly spelled wrong in the preview picture) - funny gameplay fails, and failed commentary. (That's Nightfall, guys, not Long Night of Solace. Twice.) Thanks, ZZoMBiE13. (Louis Wu 23:26:07 UTC) (permalink)
Final Firefight
Make sure you check out a very cool piece up on Forward Unto Dawn from GhaleonEB looking at his hopes for the upcoming Firefight map included in Halo: CE Anniversary. Some really nice ideas and a great dose of nostaligia. Check it out! Thanks to Hypertrooper for telling us. (GrimBrother One 18:50:27 UTC) (permalink)
BTB All-Stars
katancik stopped in to let us know that the BTB All-Stars playlist is live! If you got in your 5 games of Invasion last week, you're eligible. (I didn't - so I'm not.) Go play - and grab yourself a star! (Louis Wu 18:45:35 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Universe Paneliciousness at Comic Con
Some very cool news from an unexpected source today, as we learn that there will be another Halo Universe Panel at this year's San Diego Comic Con! The odd thing is not that it came from Twitter, or from Frankie, but because it came from Frankie's Twitter. Good Lord, what's next, Tweets from Louis Wu?! [don't hold your breath -lwu] (GrimBrother One 18:25:56 UTC) (permalink)
Teabag Prevention: Boardwalk
The folks over at Teabag Prevention are back, this time with a look at Boardwalk. Always great information, even if you think you know it all already. Go check it out! (GrimBrother One 15:20:39 UTC) (permalink)
Respect Your Roots: Part 2
The lovely Goosechecka sent us word that Chapter 2 of Griffball Hub's Respect Your Roots series is now live. Take a look back at this very cool historical account of their Spring League '08! (GrimBrother One 15:16:30 UTC) (permalink)
New secrets surface in Reach
HaloGAF's A27 Tawpgun pointed out a really fascinating post on Bungie.net - tie-ins between ODST, Reach's datapads, hidden areas in Exodus, and more. Go check it out! (Louis Wu 15:14:02 UTC) (permalink)
Start it today.
munky-058 posted a monster writeup of his visit to the recent All's Well that Ends-OUCH LAN that took place here at HBO HQ in late May. We've seen most of the pics before - but now there's a story behind them. Great read. Check it out. (Louis Wu 14:49:13 UTC) (permalink)
Mike and Marty win ASCAP Award
Hedgemony noticed that Marty O'Donnell and Mike Salvatori took the 'Top Video Game Award' for their work on Halo: Reach during the 26th Annual ASCAP Awards Celebration. Not too shabby! (Louis Wu 14:46:47 UTC) (permalink)
Till I Get There
Over at NeoGAF, dc89 was the first to point out 'Till I Get There', a montage from SaLaYa. It's not like other montages you've watched; SaLaYa does some amazing trick-jumping within Matchmaking, and makes plays that will simply drop your jaw. RVideo pointed out the Halo3Forum link - if you want to download a 190mb, 480p version of the film, this is where you should go. (Louis Wu 14:41:28 UTC) (permalink)
A shift in... something
ChrisTheeCrappy pointed out a nearly information-free post at IGN - the one bit it DOES have is a comment from Frank that there's a reason for the changes in Master Chief's behaviors in the Halo 4 trailer. (I'm not sure what that actually means - but IGN has interpreted it to mean that his personality has changed. Umm...)

Halo Lost Forerunners - Juarez
ZZoMBiE13 doesn't often point out art he finds - but he particularly liked this Forerunner study he ran across on DeviantART. I'll back him up on that, even though I don't have his eye; it's really cool!

What would you do with it?
One of the things you'll be able to purchase during a Bungie auction (profits to Child's Play, as with ALL of these) is the Caboose-made Sgt. Johnson Macaroni Statue. (A picture is here.) I... I don't know what to say. (I guess thanks to Mid7night might be in order.)

An updated Chief
PyroSporker16 told us about an updated wallpaper from Sam Spratt - the originals were released last September, but this Tumblr post has a link to a newly-updated version. Check it out - grab yourself the 1080p version!

Bungiedayathon 2011 - now in progress!
FyreWulff reminded us that today's the day for his Bungiedayathon 2011 - and in addition to the original goodies, there's one new potential prize you can lay your hands on. All donations $25 and up are entered into a drawing for a ZZoMBiE13 commission - you could win a piece of artwork to your own specifications, done by ZZoMBiE13! Nice. (He ran into some trouble with Oni, and the streaming thereof - so the streaming moved forward to 9am CST (20 minutes before the writing of this post) - go watch!)
