Take mastrbiggy's goodies
mastrbiggy came home from San Diego Comic-Con with a bunch of giveaway schwag - and he wants to give it away! Swing by and enter your name into the hat; he'll be picking names at random next week. ONI patches, a FUD poster, and a cool camo bag - how can you go wrong? (Sorry - for shipping reasons, this one's US-only.) Update: Turns out mastrbiggy's leaving sooner than expected - this coming Monday, in fact. So the signup period has been drastically shortened - doors close on Friday (two days from now). If you want in, ADD YOUR NAME NOW! (Louis Wu 21:26:11 UTC) (permalink)
Breaking In (and watching movies)
Ryan Cooper is an engineer who makes sure network code works - go read the latest Breaking In article at Bungie.net to see how he got there, and why he loves his job. (While you're there, check out a little piece about a private movie screening that took place in the Bungie offices recently...) (Louis Wu 20:44:45 UTC) (permalink)
One Actress, Two Parts
Postmortem noticed an interesting thing - Ayelet Zurer, who plays Major Mehaffey in Forward Unto Dawn, seems to have also played a part in the 'Remember Reach' commercials released in the summer of 2010 to promote the upcoming Halo: Reach. (The character in the commercial was never named, but it's really, really unlikely that there's supposed to be a tie-in; after all, the two in-universe events are decades apart. Still, it's a fascinating overlap!) (Louis Wu 19:00:00 UTC) (permalink)

Dynamic Maps, Custom Weapons, More Playlists?
WhatCulture posted an article entitled 'Halo 4: 10 Much Needed Improvements On Reach'. Be aware - it's not a summary of what's actually coming, it's more of a wishlist (and a pretty odd one, at that!). (Louis Wu 18:48:06 UTC) (permalink)

Cox, from Halo Creation, let us know about a Halo 4 Warthog model created by french artist KillManu - nice work! Animation coming... (Louis Wu 18:42:14 UTC) (permalink)
Kill stuff, fall in love
Kotaku posted a video showing off the first real-life meeting of a couple that first met playing Halo 3. Awwww... (Louis Wu 18:40:42 UTC) (permalink)
343/Community H4 Matchup - Game 3
A couple of days ago, we mentioned that Bravo had posted the first two matches of the 343 vs Community Halo 4 matchup that took place at SDCC, and that Voltron64 had posted the third game. Yesterday, Bravo posted game 3 (thanks, Tex) - better commentary than Voltron's version, but it's missing a key chunk (the part when the community team turned the tides and took the lead) because of a camera failure. Now you have both links! (Louis Wu 18:38:45 UTC) (permalink)
