Did you get that?
Sep7imus sent word of an article on Adweek, focusing on the Microsoft ad campaign that's using a Halo Spartan to sell Windows 7 PCs. (We've already mentioned a pair of ads in this series - here and here - but the Adweek piece has a third one that's pretty funny.) Nice to see Halo getting kudos outside the gaming world!

I'm gonna hug 'em and squeeze 'em and...
Aww... they're so CUTE! (Louis Wu 18:41:12 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Endurance - it's back!
GodlyPerfection stopped in with word of an upcoming charity event wherein folks will play Halo for at least 60 hours straight to raise money for Child's Play. Full details and links in his post! (Louis Wu 18:28:18 UTC) (permalink)
HALOween, Spartan Style
Sam Bishop pointed us to a blog post from THORSSOLI, a guy who makes Halo armor in his spare time. This particular post does an amazing job of documenting the collection of armor he made for last year's Halloween festivities - really interesting read! (If you explore his blog, you'll find lots of Halo content.) Good stuff! (Louis Wu 15:01:53 UTC) (permalink)
HaloRTS
Elzarthebam noticed a new Halo RTS mod for the C&C3: Tiberium Wars engine - here's hoping it turns out better than Halogen! (Louis Wu 14:57:28 UTC) (permalink)
Riding Lupe
Last night, a quartet of HBO regulars tackled the Exodus LASO challenge together - and the writeup by bluerunner is worth a read! I laughed. I cried. Well, I laughed, anyway. (Louis Wu 14:55:09 UTC) (permalink)
Misdirection, Part 1
Avcracy stopped by last night to announce the first part of Misdirection, a two-part machinima using ODST but set in an alternate universe. Great start! (Louis Wu 14:36:54 UTC) (permalink)
The Halo Bulletin: 7/13/11
DOH! I totally forgot to point out the Halo Bulletin that Waypoint put up last night (and that was added to our Halo Bulletin Archive, even). Discussion about what's going to be showing at San Diego Comic-Con next weekend, what you can expect at Halo Fest next month at PAX, and more. Go read it! (Louis Wu 14:35:12 UTC) (permalink)
A healthy obsession
Hitmonchan needs to take a break from newsposting for a bit - but he couldn't resist sending along a huge batch of farewell links. Check out these videos!
- Straight Outta Bloodgulch is a music parody from JT Machinima - language is not safe for work, but this is pretty funny!
- IGN's Top Ten Reach Kills for July 13 has some silly stuff - but a few are great. (I liked the fusion-barrel-wipes-out-AL clip... and the #1 clip ROCKS.)
- The Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption mod Sci-Fi at War has added some new Halo units - take a look!
- Schwang and Sizzle put together The Dual, a Halo PC dualtage. Fair warning - mute your audio.
- And the best of the bunch (according to both Hitmonchan and me) - Mega Bloks has kicked off their Toymation Contest, and the promo video is simply spectacular. Go watch - and then join in the fun!
Yes, it's true. He's addicted to Halo news. (Louis Wu 14:27:17 UTC) (permalink)
A Message from Playtime
CruelLEGACEY wanted us to let you know that Playtime's not over - he's announced a second season. Go watch. (Louis Wu 14:10:54 UTC) (permalink)
Clash and Desire - S1 Trailer
Machinima Revive sent word of a trailer for Clash & Desire, a new machinima series about young love. With armor. (Louis Wu 14:04:42 UTC) (permalink)
Queso Man says Cheese
Queso Man's been making montages for a long time - but recently, his YouTube account got deleted, so now he's got to start over. He's released his most recent three montages on the new channel, Queso Man Presents. If you missed 'em the first time around (the original newsposts were here | here| here), go watch 'em now!

Achievement HORSE #32
ZZoMBiE13 let us know that Achievement HORSE PIG 32 is online (seems like the shortened version is becoming more common than the full version) - Jack and Geoff torture themselves (and each other) with community-built suicide machines. Go watch! (Louis Wu 13:56:56 UTC) (permalink)
