I'm not your bird, baby - I'll only fly one.
This is... one of the most bizarre things I've sen this week - but it's pretty awesome. Nathan Fillion and Clare Grant did a reading from a Halo script (well, SORT of a Halo script) at the Nerdmelt Theater (the basement of Meltdown Comics) in LA a couple of weeks ago. The recording is pretty low-quality, but if you listen carefully, you can hear what's going on. Fillion gets 1 million internets for doing this. (Grant, too.) Thanks to Elnea, who found this for us. Update: kornman00 pointed out a much higher quality vid. Check it! This is gold. (Louis Wu 18:44:22 UTC) (permalink)
Reach Stat Checker
Shadow8P stopped by with a new Windows-based app - it's like a mini-browser that looks only at B.net's stats pages. (If you follow a link that leaves Bungie.net, it opens in your regular browser.) A convenient way to look up an opposing team (of four) in the pre-game lobby - check it out! (Louis Wu 16:00:55 UTC) (permalink)
Sticktoberfest
HC Redemption sent word of Sticktoberfest, a new challenge/contest over at HaloChallenges. You register your gamertag with them, and then you see how many sticks you can get in Matchmaking during the month of October (multiplayer only). Registration is open all month, but you're encouraged to register early, to ensure there aren't any last-minute issues that might keep you from participating. Swing by the Challenge page, and get the full details! (The 'contest' bit is because there MIGHT be prizes offered. You know... if the fun of the challenge (and cool on-site awards) aren't enough incentive for you.) (Louis Wu 14:28:55 UTC) (permalink)
McFarlane Reach Series 5
Wow - if you swing by spawn.com, you can see a TON of new figures that will be coming out with McFarlane's Reach Series 5, due in November. Some of them are pretty amazing! Thanks, Imrane-117, for letting us know. (Louis Wu 14:26:49 UTC) (permalink)
FLAG Firefight Tourney
Tiny stopped by to inform folks about a Solo Firefight Score Attack Beat the Score event to raise money for breast cancer research, being held by the folks who run the FLAG Tournament. They've raised $22,000 so far this year, and are hoping to up that total. Registration opened yesterday, with the actual event taking place in 3 weeks. Check the post for more details, or head over to the FLAG homepage to register! (Louis Wu 14:25:04 UTC) (permalink)

Sidd123456 told us about a teaser trailer for Suicidal Heroes: Episode 3 (Desert Rose). I was pretty impressed! Check it out.

Another Day on the Job
robofin117 pointed out Another Day on the Job - I found it a mix of interesting effects and stilted action. Judge for yourself! (Louis Wu 14:21:11 UTC) (permalink)
