The Halo Bulletin: 8/17/11
This week's Halo Bulletin has been posted on Halo Waypoint - and it's chock-full of stuff you might like. Screenshots of Beaver Creek and Damnation, hot off the H:A presses, along with a new video showing gameplay on Damnation. (A full game, this time.) And other cool stuff. (There's confirmation that the lower walkway on Damnation stays true to the original in Classic variants of the map, for all those worried that 343 was going to do something horrible like making it a solid bridge.) Go read! As always, it's available in our Halo Bulletin Archive, if you'd rather read it there. (Louis Wu 23:08:01 UTC) (permalink)
Closing time
Today's the last day to submit your HBO video introductions! If you've been waiting to do one, or if you've been polishing yours to a pristine sheen, you have until 11:59 p.m. PST to email it to me. If you'd like a few technical guidelines, check out this post. I'd like to say thanks to everyone who has participated in this contest. Not only is the Halo community one of camaraderie and compassion, it's one of creativity. (Hitmonchan 17:15:39 UTC) (permalink)
Amazing what might be in your closet...
Josh Rivera is moving, and found a box that he THOUGHT was full of computer parts... but that turned out to be full of Halo 1 and Halo 2 action figures. Still in their original packaging. It's a heck of a haul - and he's selling the entire group as a lot. You've got just a couple of days to bid - so get busy! (I'm sort of surprised - the Buy It Now price is roughly what these cost to buy when they were in stores. Which they're not, any longer.) (Louis Wu 14:46:23 UTC) (permalink)
G4 Gettin' in on the Gamescom Buzz
G4TV has a small piece about the Halo Anniversary release - there's an interview with Frankie (though it looks like it was recorded back in June, at E3), and you might or might not learn something you didn't know. Check it out! Thanks, nillapuddin.

Drunken Halo Ep 25
Justin Bryce let us know that The Drunken Halo Podcast has released its 25th episode. No Travis this time around, but they've got Tim Robertson, of MyMac.com, talking about his first Halo expieriences, why Bungie is different, and finding the best ladies underwear. Hrm. Go listen.

Halo once again in the news... badly
Here we go again... WSBTV out of Atlanta has a story about a 15-year-old who killed his great-grandmother (with a sword, no less) because he was told to stop playing Halo. I'm sort of glad that Jack Thompson has been disbarred... or this would be EVERYWHERE. (Please understand - I'm not for a minute minimizing the tragedy of a 77-year-old woman killed by her great-grandson. I'm saddened that it's being tied to video game use (rather than, say... the child's mental instability.)) Thanks to NeoGAF's Devolution for the heads-up.
