Festive Cheer from a German Halo Site
This came in a couple of days ago, but I somehow missed it. Halo Base's Legend let us know that they've kicked off an Advent Calendar, documenting the history of Halo: Combat Evolved, with new magazine scans appearing every new day until Christmas. It's all in German, but if you read German, there's a lot of info! They're also sponsoring a few contests, with prizes including action figures and a high-quality photo canvas, with the winning screenshot printed on it. Swing by Halo Base and read all the details!

Buckell Back in the Hospital
Gah - Tobias Buckell is BACK in the hospital, this time with a pulmonary embolism. (This is basically a blood clot in the artery that brings blood to his lungs.) Best wishes to the man - his Halo novel is now out everywhere, but he's in. Several people sent this in - thanks to Aaron Spuler, and to General Battuta for starting a thread on our forum.

Halo 3 Mythic Walkthrough: Halo (and a challenge)
The ninth and final chapter of Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris' Solo Legendary All Skulls On walkthrough of Halo 3 is now online - the level Halo, with its gorgeous architecture and its tribute to the Maw run, can be handled at the highest possible difficulty. Go give it a read/watch! And once you're finished... you might want to swing by Bungie.net, and the Quest for SLASO group Tyrant founded there - he's posted a description of his Monthly Mythic Challenge. Each month, starting on the first, and ending on the 7th, you'll have a chance to use the skills he's taught you to beat Halo 3 on Mythic difficulty - if you're the first to do so for the month, you'll win 4000 MS Points. Full rules (including eligibility and exact timing) are in the newspost - so go read! You've got a week or so to prepare. (Louis Wu 17:19:46 UTC)

Halo Wars Art, Hands-on Pieces Continue
More Halo Wars coverage - The Halo Wars website mentions writeups at Joystiq and Xbox360Achievements.com, in addition to the stuff we mentioned a couple of days ago (post 1 | post 2). Planet Halo points out one at TeamXbox, too. And Wired has put up its own piece. On top of this news, the Halo Wars team has posted new wallpapers on their Screenshots page (they're labeled 'XBOX Live Screenshots') - the theme that these papers come from is available on Marketplace for 250 points. And they've added wallpaper containing the Flame Marine, concept artwork of Jackals, and a new Hunter shot. Pretty stuff! (Thanks in part to 2900d4u for the heads-up.) Update: There's even more - The 1UP FM podcast contains an interview with Ensemble's Graeme Devine and Dave Pottinger this week. Thanks, LoneRanger 2.5. (Louis Wu 13:29:23 UTC)

The Halo Wars news is pouring in fast and furiously.

New Halo Wars Art Assets
A new batch of Halo Wars screenshots and a few cutscene stills were released this morning - we've posted them here, because it's a good bet that the full-sized images (5120x2880 for the screenshots, 1920x1280 for the stills) won't make it to the web on most sites - and almost EVERY other site will slap a watermark on each image. Enjoy the full-sized, watermark-free versions! Update: Kotaku got a LOT more pictures than we had access to (though I put up another 5 shots on our page); Kotaku's are not watermarked, but they're not big, either. However... some of them ARE really cool. (There's an interesting article that goes with them - story material, background on gameplay, more. Worth a read. Thanks, gunluva.) (Louis Wu 17:56:39 UTC)

Halo Memories - Going Strong
The thread we started yesterday, asking people to reminisce about how Halo has affected their lives, is pretty amazing. Lots of stories, lots of love. Bring a pretty big cup of coffee - people have been writing a LOT. I'm seeing names that have been quiet for years, alongside names of relative newcomers, and everything in between. If you have your OWN story, feel free to toss it in the mix! (Louis Wu 14:55:00 UTC)
