Helljumpers Pumpkin... and shoes.
Hawty McBloggy has a very cool ODST-themed pumpkin on her front page today - go check it out! (I haven't looked yet to see if it's been submitted to our Guilt O' Lantern contest... but it would be a real shame if it's not!) While you're over there, check out the pretty slick-looking Nike Dunk Highs that someone customized with a Master Chief... they're expensive, but man, they look good! (Louis Wu 13:43:19 UTC)

An ODST Review, from an old friend
Ciarán Walsh has been a Halo fan for quite some time - and he's a pretty smart guy. (He did a bunch of work under the hood to make our forum more useful, for example, and he runs a Halo news aggregator site.) Recently, he finished up ODST, and wrote up his impressions - in addition to feelings about the gameplay, he's also got speculation about some of the mysteries left in the game. It's an interesting read - go swing by and check it out! (Louis Wu 14:45:03 UTC)

Down the Rabbit Hole
Omega posted a very interesting list last night - it contains all the license plate numbers he could find in Mombasa Streets (28 of them)... and what he thinks they might be referencing. If he's right, Bungie went pretty all-out on this easter egg. If he's wrong... he's discovered the biggest coincidence I've seen in a video game. Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:41:39 UTC)

Get the most out of Bungie.net's ODST Features
We neglected to mention an article posted yesterday afternoon on Bungie.net: 'Link Up with the B.net' seemed, at first glance, to be aimed at newcomers who wanted to tie their in-game experience in to Bungie.net's amazing stat tracking system. It didn't really seem like 'news' for the average HBO reader. A closer read, however, shows that this does include information that's of wider interest.
- There's a collection of tips for completing the various Vidmaster Achievements (as of yesterday, just over 4,000 people had completed them and collected their Recon armor)
- There's a mini-primer on Bungie Pro, and the mention of a new, not-quite-implemented feature coming soon: you'll be able to render a segment of a Firefight video simply by indicating the timestamps of your start and stop spots. This is amazingly cool, given that without it, you'd need an AWFUL lot of render points to grab Firefight footage (since Firefight has no 'clip' capabilities).
- The stats integration is, indeed, covered in the article - check it out for basic details and links to more in-depth explanations.
Definitely worth a read! (Louis Wu 13:31:03 UTC)

The Whiney Wheel Gets the Code
Looks like running a website has its perks - we made noise, so Bungie made noise, and Amazon decided to Do the Right Thing. Check it out. (We've heard reports of other vendors having other issues - not being able to get enough codes for the preorders they placed, for example - hopefully, those will sort themselves out, as well.)

Schedonnardus went to a launch event at his local Gamestop in Texas, Bliany went to the Bungie Launch Event in Seattle. Both took pics and wrote up tehir experience. (They were very different.) Bryan Simon went to HIS local Gamestop in Maryland, and didn't just take pictures, he recorded video. He also rewrote his "Thank You Bungie" song with an ODST slant. Check it out.
