I think he made her a promise he could keep.
Torchwood Tex dropped a line to Bungie.net's Comm Chatter about her wedding - it was totally Halo-themed. Halo dress, Halo banners, Halo cake, even his-and-hers bridal cat helmets! (Halo music, too.) This is a serious pair of fans! (Louis Wu 16:44:13 UTC)

We're here all week - try the mead.
gunluva noticed someone playing the Halo theme in Lord of the Rings Online - amazing what you can do! (Louis Wu 14:54:52 UTC)

Betcha can't overheat it
Hawty McBloggy found another pretty amazing Xbox 360 case mod - you'll need quite a lot of space for this puppy (it won't slide into a standard AV rack between your receiver and your TiVo), but MAN it's cool-looking. Go see! (Louis Wu 17:27:26 UTC)

Hawty has hot stuff for you
Hawty McBloggy is giving away a PAX Swag Bag - if you couldn't make it to Seattle at the beginning of the month, here's your chance to get a box containing all the stuff you'd have picked up if you DID (plus a very cool signed Cortana-themed faceplate, to boot). Minimal Halo content - but that faceplate makes up for all of it. (And the bag DOES contain some cool stuff.) Go read, and sign up! (Louis Wu 12:48:24 UTC)

I need a ring.
Britain's Echo has a story about a Halo-themed wedding in Southend-on-Sea, outside of London. Red and blue flags, a map-based cake, and the game's logo embroidered on the bride's dress were some of the touches. Nice! Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 17:32:17 UTC)

Fan Hearts - on sleeves, and cookies, and tables...
Hawty McBloggy looks at some dedicated gamers - folks who take their passion to a level most of us are too lazy to match. Tattoos, cosplay outfits, themed cakes, and on and on - swing by for a great collection of hardcore fan love. Some you've seen before, others maybe not - they're all wonderful.

Forge Art: Movie Screenshots
A couple of weeks ago, we mentioned a page of screenshots collected by maximumfear, all with the theme of 'Films/Movies'. This morning, Hawty McBloggy put up her own collection - some awesome shots! (Louis Wu 13:54:01 UTC)

Too many clean jokes...
I'm rather astounded this didn't show up at Hawty McBloggy's first (Hawty, missing a chance to rub herself all over with the Master Chief?), but hey - the important thing is that you know about it. According to Geeky Gadgets, another of the video game-themed soaps you can buy from Digitalsoaps is a Master Chief model. $7 to clean your privates with a Spartan... it's a bargain!

Monday Morning Fan Masterpieces
Looking for fun Halo-themed creations this morning? Swing by Hawty McBloggy's. She's got word of a Halo 3 Pelican Cake (looks delicious, and that's no lie), and a bunch of Halo/Nintendo mashups from CrazedOne1988 (some of these could be serious fun!). Go by and read for yourself! (Louis Wu 16:30:51 UTC)

Up, up and away, in my beautiful - what?
Hawty McBloggy has posted a holiday-themed Friday Caption Fun - some funny entries for last week's pic, plus a fun new picture just ripe for abuse. Go play! (Louis Wu 14:03:02 UTC)

I need a weapon.
Hawty McBloggy has details of a Halo love so intense that the quotes inscribed on their wedding bands were pulled from the game. That's cool - and a little scary, all at the same time. (While you're there, you can also check out a Wiimote that's been painted with a Halo theme...) (Louis Wu 13:11:10 UTC)

Halo 3: ODST/Halo: Reach - a summary of the day
As almost everyone reading this by now already knows, Bungie had two rather hefty reveals at the Microsoft Press Briefing today - the first was a gameplay demonstration of Halo 3: ODST (followed by a boatload of information released on Bungie.net), the second was a heretofore-unknown game, Halo: Reach (this weekend's title leak doesn't really count). Things worth knowing about Halo 3: ODST:
- Release date is September 22
- lots of versions of the new trailer can be found at Bungie.net
- Lots of new screenshots can be found at Bungie.net (poring over them will reveal all sorts of tidbits about the game - our forum is having fun)
- a handful of QuickTime VR 3D vids (and a hint of more to come) are available at Bungie.net
- Lots of new info about the game (including a new mode, Firefight, an invite to the Halo: Reach Beta for purchasers, an unlockable for pre-orderers, and more) can be picked over
(There's a new forum on Bungie.net devoted to the game, too.) If you missed the Joe Staten-supplied gameplay during the briefing itself, you can watch it at IGN (thanks, BlueNinja). And oh, yeah, there's a new Dashboard theme on Xbox LIVE. Moving along to Halo: Reach:
- You can watch the trailer on Bungie.net (or download it in a lot of flavors)
- It'll be out in 2010
- It's Bungie-driven
- It's got Elites
- I'm SURE there are more tidbits to be gleaned - dive into our forums and see what people have come up with!
News might be light tomorrow - I'm traveling out to E3, and am NOT equipped to report from the show floor - but anything more we discover will be posted in due time. Go enjoy what's out already! (Louis Wu 23:00:03 UTC)

The Life of a Noob
Hawty McBloggy stumbed across 'The Life of a Noob', a song by JT Machinima's skullkruncher13 and patfan8326 which will stick in your head... against your will. (Think of it as the Gilligan's Island theme of Halo.) Watch it... and laugh. (Louis Wu 13:16:25 UTC)

Halo 3 Forge Art: Video Game Edition
Hawty McBloggy collected a couple of dozen screenshots with an interesting theme - they're all related to OTHER video games. Some are just simple outlines, others are... much, much more. They all show a love for the genre. Swing by and check 'em out™! (See that? I'm adding to my empire.) (Louis Wu 13:10:45 UTC)

School Orchestra Plays Halo
Hawty McBloggy pointed out a series of themes from Halo 3, performed by the WACO (Wayland/Crawfordsville/Olds, Iowa) Junior/Senior High Orchestra... and wonders how many more kids would have played instruments if video game themes had been common in past years. (Louis Wu 20:13:41 UTC)

Halo on the Cheap
Arithmomaniac has maintained a Halo theme in the last couple of Purim costumes he's worn - he posted pics of his Arbiter and ODST.

Community Videos for your viewing pleasure
If you're looking for videos to watch, you should swing by the Bungie Blog - they've got a few.
- Crash and Burn is a Major League Driving Race Map, and they've made a movie showing gamplay (if you visit the YouTube page, you can find a download link for the map itself).
- Cyberline Films has released My Halo Life, Episode 4, another batch of community-submitted clips.
- The latest Rube Goldberg creation is Simpsons-themed, with pictures, words, and music from the series, along with lots of flying vehicles.
Thanks, urk! (Louis Wu 07:50:09 UTC)

More Mythic than you can shake a golf club at
In honor of the release of the Mythic Map Pack today on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, Bungie has posted a roundup of cool tidbits you might or might not know about. Download links for the game, for the trailer, for the theme, the new project page on B.net plus a community spotlight of fan-created content, a reminder that Bungie Pro is free for three months for Mythic players, a summary of recent news, a recap of the 'Game with Flame' community event, and a reminder about yesterday's Podcast release (bandwidth is TOTALLY not a problem any more). Wonga! (Louis Wu 19:34:33 UTC)

But wait, there's more!
The Mythic Map Pack will be available for purchase in just two short days - so Bungie's giving you an early taste with a funny-as-all-get-out trailer (I think Shishka might have a future in Infomercials) and a downloadable premium theme for your 360 (250 points, but hey, it's pretty!). Go download the vid, and check out the theme, now! (Louis Wu 17:18:38 UTC)

Alrighty, then
Over at Bungie.net, Sk1ll4xEd points out a clip from 1995's 'Ace Ventura 2' which might trigger some familiarity in Halo fans. (Before you start feverishly typing that this sounds NOTHING like the Halo theme... take a deep breath, realize that for most people a Gregorian chant is a Gregorian chant, and smile along with the rest of us.)

Hawty's Goodies
Hawty McBloggy has a couple of goodies for you today - she's put together a set of eight Halo-themed 360 mods (some are great, some are awful, some are just plain funny), and she's uncovered a true Halo transformer on eBay - it's a Warthog that transforms to a Spartan (well... sort of a Spartan). Check it out! (Louis Wu 14:50:05 UTC)
