Quack Quack Quack
Three days, three new comics from pete_the_duck. Four, actually. His anti-SOPA entry made me put my thumbs up, I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN gives you his view of Armor Lock, and The oldest question, answered made me laugh out loud. Start your weekend with some Halo-related duck humor! (Louis Wu 21:26:57 UTC)

The Pentathlon Awaits
The Halo content is so slim as to be invisible (it consists of a couple of video screens in a single photo), but the Bungie Pentathlon is an annual event of great importance to Bungie employees (and Bungie fans) - and we're pretty big Bungie fans here, so we're gonna tell you about the latest article on Bungie.net. Deej has written up a nice summary of this year's event (which takes place tomorrow), including a mini-interview with Dave Dunn. For the first time in a really long time, there are no Halo games at all in the lineup. Wonga! We'll still be roothing for the Grizzled Ancients, though, cause old people have to stick together. Go read about it! (Louis Wu 17:46:30 UTC)

kornman00 let us know that OpenSauce v3.0 has now been released - it's a project to extend the HaloCE game engine and tools. The announcement article contains screenshots and a video to show you just what this powerful package can do - and get you started on using it, if you're so inclined. Take a look!

Tyrant's Halo 3 Legendary Walkthrough - Sierra 117
The Tyrant has kicked off his Halo 3 Legendary Guide on YouTube, with a half-hour commentated run through Sierra-117. Skips, tricks, tips for staying alive - this video will help you survive your way through the start of the Halo 3 campaign! The video has a special guest appearance from Steve 'Master Chief' Downes, and apparently, later today there will be a question posted to Tyrant's Twitter feed that will give you a chance to win a free Avatar code.

Community Custom Carnage on Camera
If you've never join in one of the HBO-grown Community Customs events, MixMaster1 stopped by with an awesome reason to start doing so. Check out the awesome highlight video he put together from the last event. Great editing, cool music, and commentary from the players in-game! An excellent watch with some pretty darn hilarious moments. Check it out, and keep an eye on our forums for the next event so you can participate yourself! (GrimBrother One 18:59:31 UTC)

Waypoint can fill your Sunday
If you're feeling like watching some Halo videos or checking out some cool screenshots, but don't know what's new, Waypoint has what you need. Check out the Waypoint Weekly Wrap-up for links to all the new content they've posted this past week (some we've already covered, plenty we haven't). If that's not enough for you, there's also some cool Featured Content that isn't in that list: HaloTracker's January Top 5 covers No-scopes, a replay of a classic Vintage Fisticuffs highlights the original game's Two Betrayals level, and the Stride Championship Series is up to Match 5, with Roy and Lunchbox fighting iGotUrPistola AND Ogre 2. Content out the yin-yang! (Louis Wu 16:28:27 UTC)

Play HCEA, Fly to LA
Wow - I'm not sure I understand how Halo Anniversary plays in all this... but G4TV has an announcement about a sweepstakes being conducted by Xbox LIVE, in relation to the upcoming movie Underworld Awakening. If you download the official Gamer Picture during the prize period (one of which ends tonight, and the next of which starts tomorrow), you will be entered into a sweepstakes whose winner will fly to LA in May for an Attack of the Show episode. Apparently, there's a dusk-till-dawn session of Halo Anniversary being scheduled this weekend as part of this promotion - but I can't find any info about that specifically. Thanks, ElzarTheBam!

Primordium excerpts online
Want to get a head-start on Primordium, the next novel from Greg Bear (due out in January)? Tor.com has the Prologue and Chapter 1 online, and Halo Waypoint has Chapter 2. Nice! (Thanks, Archilen.) Update: Looks like Chapters 3 and 4 are in that Waypoint article, as well. Thanks, Nikko B201. (Louis Wu 18:17:19 UTC)

Rare Mylar Print Auctions
I totally missed this when it came in on Thursday - but luckily, there are still 4 days left. invisiblecatfish sent word that he'd found some Halo Mylar prints on eBay - these don't come up very often! There's a Halo 2 Chief, one of Eddie Smith's Halo 2 'Scarab Assault' prints, and a Halo 3 'Ark Storm' (I missed this one when it came out originally). Bids end Wednesday, around 7:30pm PST (see the auction pages for exact timing) - starting bids are $100 (for Scarab Assault) and $125 (for the Chief and Ark Storm, each). (Louis Wu 20:08:23 UTC)

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)

Huntercaust - is it in you?
By:RC Master is unhappy with the lack of updates in Firefight matchmaking - so he's trying to jumpstart the process. He's created a bunch of new gametypes, and has highlighted one he calls 'Huntercaust' in an attempt to show why he's made the decisions he has. Looks like a lot of fun!

Remembering group carnage
Two recaps of community playtimes recently - Kermit went all out with his look back at the recent Co-op night on ODST's Kikowani Station, and Hyokin shared some screens from last Friday's Customs Night. Go live vicariously! (Louis Wu 19:57:22 UTC)

Fun Movies, Round 3 (Anniversary Edition)
We posted copies of the Halo Anniversary cutscenes a week after the game was released (thanks, Dust Storm!), but thanks to some fancy-schmancy equipment that Cody Miller was able to get his hands on, we're RE-releasing them today - the newest versions are recorded in full surround sound. (The interlacing is gone, as well, for folks looking to grab cleaner screenshots.) And if that weren't enough, we've also posted the Halo Anniversary Terminals - all 11 of them. (These are not in Surround Sound, because they were presented in-game in standard stereo sound. But they're still big and beautiful and fascinating.) Go indulge! (Louis Wu 20:17:39 UTC)

The Halo Waypoint folks let us know that the new December Avatar Collection is out starting today, December 13th. New additions include the previously pre-order-only Master Chief Mk V Avatar armor, a new Guilty Spark T shirt, and a pretty cool Booster Frame Avatar Prop. Neat stuff, go check it out!

A close look at Anniversary's Terminals
Cody Miller stopped in this weekend with word of a new article, written by Rampancy.net's Narcogen, on a site dedicated to pointing out some story issues with Halo Anniversary. Narc's pretty unhappy with the way the new Terminals fit into the game, and while he overstates the problem (the 'added details' he laments on the Anniversary viewscreens were, in fact, in the original game), his arguments about how this new information meshes (or doesn't mesh) with existing information are compelling. Give it a read!

Dead End Thrilltacular
Kotaku recently ran a piece about Duncan Harris' beautiful screenshot website DeadEndThrills. Our own SonofMacPhisto brought this to our attention, as well as letting us know that Mr. Harris also has a few beautiful Halo shots in his collection as well. Gorgeous stuff!

As I always mention, it's available locally as well. <3 Check it out! (GrimBrother One 14:32:23 UTC)

Making of a Halo Figure
Sl'askia pointed out McFarlane's Making of a Halo Figure, a 3-part documentary showing how the company got into making Halo action figures - and how they actually make them. She linked Part 3 of 3 (Plastic Molds to Perfect Replica) - but you could start with Parts 1 of 3 (Intro & 3D Models) and 2 of 3 (3D Models to Plastic Molds). Great behind-the-scenes look!

In comes new artwork
Stephen Loftus sent along another couple of dozen vector drawings from the various Halo games for his Signs of Halo collection - some are in-game signs (including two brand new ones from Breakneck), some are multiplayer logos. The new Civilian ones start here, the new Miscellaneous ones start here, and there's one new UNSC image here. Go explore!

Breaking Quarantine Run
MASSAIKUR put together a video showing you how to slam through the Breaking Quarantine achievement in about 5 minutes (you'll need the Bandanna skull to follow along) - little bit of extra entertainment at the start, too. Check it.

Pillar of Autumn, realized in Minecraft

Buy Armor Piecemeal
McFarlane will sell you new armor for your action figures - but the packs run $30-40 when all is said and done... and you might only want a single pair of shoulder pieces. tadboz bought a couple of packs, and is selling off the bits he can't use - they're starting at about a buck each. Might be a nice way to grab that single chest piece you were eyeing! (Louis Wu 15:32:51 UTC)

Slidin' in to home
Just caught myself up on the last few days of forum posts (I'd done SOME reading on Friday, but mostly I've been offline since Wednesday night), and found a couple of tidbits that didn't make our front page. If you missed 'em too, enjoy 'em now! First up: Xbox.com put up some screenshots of Halo Anniversary with a supercool slider you can wipe back and forth to compare graphics - go play! (Scroll down to 'Original vs Remastered'.) Thanks, nillapuddin. (Louis Wu 13:21:53 UTC)

ETA for MIA is NOW
Halo Waypoint and Rooster Teeth teamed up in another great way today, with the release of Part 1 of its new Waypoint-exclusive miniseries, MIA. If the dialogue starts to sound a bit familiar, this is why. Always awesome, check it out! (GrimBrother One 21:39:24 UTC)
