I can't see a cannon... but I'd be nervous anyway
We've mentioned lenticular clouds before - but Leviathan found one on reddit this morning that is just a little bit scary. (Louis Wu 19:11:59 UTC) (permalink)
Get ODST for just over $10
Looks like Amazon's having a video game sale today - Buy One, Get One for 40% Off. Halo 3: ODST is on the list, and is currently selling for $18.91, so if you buy any game (on the page) that costs more than that, the ODST price drops to $11.35. Hard to beat! (Louis Wu 18:39:19 UTC) (permalink)
Turkeys in 434
The pre-Christmas Halo Bulletin was posted last night - word of a new Dashboard theme, a tutorial showing you how to benefit from ATLAS, info about custom challenges (including some fun ones from community members), a brand-new Sparkast (w00t!), and info about the January Matchmaking Playlist update are all adorned by tons of fan-created artwork (hint: click on images). As always, you can read this in our Halo Bulletin Archive. (Louis Wu 15:22:57 UTC) (permalink)

Networking: How a Shooter Shoots
mattroe passed along a link to an article on Kotaku AU about Networking - Halo gets a few mentions. Interesting read! Update: RC Master points out that the article was originally posted at immersedcode.org. (Louis Wu 15:06:29 UTC) (permalink)
Last Campaign
ncsuDuncan has an amazing talent for writing parody songs; he visited our forum with new lyrics for George Michael's Last Christmas (and wouldn't it be great if someone actually recorded it?). He's been doing this for a little while on NeoGAF - some songs are funnier if you understand that community, but all are impressive:
- A New Forge World
- A clip from a Roxanne takeoff
- Goodbye EazyB (Elton John)
- Merry GAF-mas to you
- The Twelve Days of Reach-mas
I'm sure I missed some - but these should amuse you. (Louis Wu 14:49:53 UTC) (permalink)
The Last Sleeper - with ties to Halo and Bungie
So yesterday, GrimBrother One stopped in with a Kotaku link about Kendall Davis, who was working on Halo 4 until he quit to create a comic game. What started as a story with only passing relevance to HBO became more interesting when Hitmonchan did a little digging and learned that the game has ties to Bungie's Aerospace. Amazing how small a world it is! (Louis Wu 14:47:31 UTC) (permalink)
Achievement HORSE #54
Achievement HORSE has a special behind-the-scenes vid (also on YouTube) for you this week; it shows off the office staff, doing their best to play with one hand. (Last week you saw how that looked in-game; this week, you can watch them in real life.) Thanks, 7he grunt w/a plasma pistol. (Louis Wu 14:42:53 UTC) (permalink)
