Firefight Friday: Blitzkrieg
FyreWulff is back with another dose of Firefight Friday - this one is called 'Blitzkrieg', and can be played on either Heroic or Normal difficulty, on Last Exit. NO SNIPERS! (In honor of yesterday's faux ViDoc, it's chess-themed.) (Louis Wu 15:50:10 UTC)

Halo Buffy Theme
AssaultGodzilla posted another of his older Halo music videos - this one is set to the Buffy theme; he put it together for Halloween 2008. Seems a bit more disjointed than some of his newer work... (Louis Wu 12:21:34 UTC)

I looked for sexual innuendo... Hawty?
Chris Sauer noticed a Halo-themed tattoo on College Humor - I'm thinking that girl might have some trouble explaining that to her grandkids in a few decades.

Top Ten Halo 3 Screenshots: Faces
The Top Ten Halo 3 Screenshots theme this week is "Faces' - if you hated Oonsk, don't visit, because these will get stuck in your head. Shots like 'The Inner Child', though, are simply amazing.

Halo Theme Song
odious T (gotta love that gamertag) sent word of a video he'd found on YouTube - it's a fan playing the Halo theme. Starts slow... but MAN is it great. Take the 3 minutes and check it out; you won't be disappointed. It's incredible what 40 fingers can do! (Louis Wu 15:46:21 UTC)

Do I get another Christmas break, too?
It's mid-February, but that doesn't mean that a Halo-themed Christmas Tree isn't welcome - this one even has Flame Grenades hung on it! Thanks, Hawty. (Louis Wu 14:38:56 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy's Valentines Day Offerings
For those who feel less than loved this Valentines Day, Hawty McBloggy's got your back; she's posted a collection of ten 'UnValentines', with Halo-themed rejection messages. Funny, useful, a little sad... yep! But wait... what if everything's going great, but you want to send your love some Halo-themed gooey-ness? Don't worry, she's got that covered, too. Along with 'not so nice eValentines', and 'dirty eValentines', and 'sweet eValentines'. Go check out the entire collection at one easy url: Hawty McBloggy's Gamer eValentines.

Top Ten Halo 3 Screenshots: Partners for Life
Not surprisingly, the Top Ten Halo 3 Screenshots collection this week is love-themed... go check out 'Partners for Life'. Mostly safe for work (seeing as how they're all wearing armor).

Blood on the VISR
Pete Cooper was watching Band of Brothers, and decided to write an ODST-themed version of 'Blood on the Risers' - his poem is called 'Blood on the VISR'. (If you don't know the song itself, it's a parody of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, and a good version of it - with lyrics - can be found here.) Gory be! (Louis Wu 15:26:33 UTC)

Emo Tears and Unstoppable Death Dealers
The Bungie Weekly Update was posted earlier this evening - it contains info to drool about (if you knew what urk was actually looking at, that is), some good news about Elites, some really cool news about shield effects, an update on the 1 vs 100 Halo event (looks like it's going to be February 9 (Tuesday), not February 12, as originally posted), more fun icon submissions, and other goodies. Go read it! It is, of course, available in our Weekly Update Archive, should you choose to read it there. Update: the original date of February 12 for the Frank and Marty show is actually correct. The official announcement says that the show on the 9th is "followed immediately" by the Halo-themed show - but by "immediately", they mean "3 days later". Thanks, Voc and Cocop.

Halcylon's Halo Poster Pack
mendicantbias noticed that Halcylon is offering wallpaper based on his really cool Halo-themed posters. Lots of resolutions, and links back to the original posters if you'd rather have one at a time! (The individual posters are also included in the Poster Pack download.) (Louis Wu 16:54:51 UTC)

Calling All Halo Fans
Morpheus pointed out a new section on Xbox LIVE Marketplace - it's in the 'Spotlight' section, and it's entitled 'Calling All Halo Fans'. It contains links to all the downloadable Halo content on LIVE (map packs, games on demand, and avatars/themes), another link to Waypoint, and links to all the Insider videos done about Halo topics. Nice to have everything in one place! (Louis Wu 19:43:39 UTC)

HBO News Widget: Reach Edition
terminator182 is back with a new edition of his HBO News Widget - that little plugin that shows you HBO news stories from the OSX Dashboard. This one is Reach-themed, and much prettier than the old one. Take a look! (Louis Wu 19:50:02 UTC)

Some of those were... odd.
Apparently, last year's Halo-themed wedding made a list of '15 Insane Weddings' at WeddingABC.net - but don't worry, they're doing great! Their one-year anniversary is right around the corner. Thanks, urk.

ODST-Themed Christmas Tree

Wallpaper and Plushies - what more do you need?
Hawty McBloggy's place is worth visiting this morning - she's got some really nice stuff for you. For folks with an iPhone/iPod Touch, you can snag some very cool Halo Wallpaper, courtesy of Firestream... and for folks jonesing for Halo plushies (okay, okay, that's me, I admit it), a fan has whipped up a really adorable Elite plushie, complete with (soft) energy sword! Go see.

Can Jackal teeth handle sugar?
Hawty McBloggy ran across a fantastic-looking Jackal mask that was in the works for this year's Halloween festivities. (No word on whether it actually got finished in time - this was a work-in-progress pic from early September.) The creator, DeviantART's randomflyingpigeons, is no stranger to Halo-themed Halloween costumes - she went as a Grunt in 2005, and then again in 2008 (and MAN did she get better over those three years!). She does commissions - you might want to start thinking about next year! (Louis Wu 14:50:51 UTC)

Starlight Runner surfaces again
rhubarb noticed a mention in the latest Game Informer of Starlight Runner Entertainment, a company we mentioned in passing back in March. A visit to their website turns up a press kit (thanks, General Vagueness) that contains this intriguing paragraph:
In 2008, Starlight Runner was commissioned by Microsoft to prepare the company's multibillion dollar Halo videogame franchise for a global transmedia relaunch. In addition to expanding the breadth of the property by conceiving a series of allnew storylines, themes and characterizations designed to make the property accessible to a mass audience across multiple media platforms and formats, the Starlight Runner team is also contributing strategies for an integrated rollout for all Halo entertainment content over the next five years.
There's also a link to an interview at All Things Fangirl, with some more discussion of what it is that they actually do (or did, for this franchise). Hmm... (Louis Wu 14:40:17 UTC)

Halo, for clarinet and bassoon
rolandk73 stopped in with word of an arrangement of the Halo theme, for clarinet and bassoon, created by a friend of his. You can download the 5 pages off of TwitPic, or you can grab local copies from us: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5. If you play this... record it and send it in! Update: Chryton points out that this is for Bb Clarinet and Bass Clarinet, not clarinet and bassoon. (Louis Wu 18:37:40 UTC)
