Ten.
Because yesterday's One One Se7en Advent offering was announced late, there are two today - but I suppose if you add up the humor content, you're still under one. (Louis Wu 19:03:35 UTC)

Nine.
Once again, the One One Se7en Advent offering gets late announcement - my flight out of Chicago was cancelled, so I spent a little time getting back to a hotel I could spend the night in before my nothing in the morning rescheduled flight tomorrow. Such is life. Actually, judging from this thread on our forum, it looks like not announcing this particular strip might have been a good thing. (Louis Wu 02:26:15 UTC)

WTF!?
Haloplayer announced that the first Halo 3 episode of Lost Cause is now up on the Injured Knee Productions website. Watch it before you read the thread; it's... full of surprises. I'll probably have to watch it again. (Louis Wu 05:38:40 UTC)

Six.
I managed to forget a newspost to announce yesterday's (Thursday's) One One Se7en Advent offering - which is a shame, because it was actually pretty cute. Sorry, Stunt! (Louis Wu 04:18:40 UTC)

Wired's Halo 3 Supergeek Contest - Winners Announced
Wow. Somehow we totally missed the fact that Wired Magazine was running a Halo 3 Supergeek contest, looking to give away cool schwag to the biggest Halo 3 geek out there. I found out about it today, when they posted the winners. I'm guessing we've got readers that could have cleaned up... (Louis Wu 20:22:54 UTC)

CPL's Winter Tourney purse loses 90% of its value
Wow. You might remember that a few weeks ago, the Cyberathlete Professional League made huge waves by announcing a Halo 3 tournament in December with a one million dollar purse. They've made a few changes, it appears... the one million dollar tournament is being moved to the CPL Summer Event (next July), and the winter tourney now has a $100,000 purse. The announcement suggests that the changes are due to shenanigans involving other professional gaming leagues... hmm. Anyway, just a heads-up in case you were planning on attending.

DLC, with a Bungie Spin
If you missed the initial announcement of the upcoming Halo Downloadable Content, or the followup screenshots, you should swing by Bungie.net, and read this story. Actually, even if you DIDN'T miss that other stuff, you should read the story. A large chunk of it is a Q&A with Chris Barrett, the creative director of DLC and Steve Cotton, the DLC design lead, and it's a pretty interesting read. It'll give you a pretty good sense of what to expect come December 11 (or next spring, should you choose to wait for these maps to be free). (Louis Wu 23:11:33 UTC)

Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack
Over at Xbox.com, the big announcement alluded to in last Friday's Bungie Weekly Update has gone up - on December 11, 3 new multiplayer maps will be available for download, for 800 Microsoft Points ($10 US). These will all be free by spring 2008, just in time for the NEXT wave of downloadable content. Go read - and get ready! (Thanks, KP) (Louis Wu 17:22:31 UTC)

Seraphim let us know that the Metroid Online Map Team has released a pair of maps (in Release Candidate status), for testing. If you're a Halo Custom Edition player, grab these puppies and give 'em a try! (The release announcement contains screenshots and a movie, so you can see a little of what you're getting.)

The Riot #74
Second Foundation is now providing a live video feed of their recording of the Riot podcast, shown on mogulus.com. (I'm not sure how to find it, and there's no infiormation on the site itself, nor on Mogulus... but I guess this will become clearer over time.) The current episode, #74, filmed/recorded this morning, has news, a clan challenge, and an on-the-fly announcement from Obienator. Go listen! (Louis Wu 20:44:05 UTC)

Key word: Original
Major Nelson has clarified that the Xbox Originals, officially announced yesterday as older Xbox games to be available for download on Xbox Live Marketplace, will NOT contain additional functionality; they will not have Achievements or be used in your Gamer score. And though it wasn't mentioned specifically, I'd GUESS that this means that the downloadable version of Halo will not be 60Hz-compatible for PAL regions, since the original game wasn't. These are not enhanced versions of the games - they're just downloadable versions of them, at a nice price. (This news item was up much earlier this morning, but somehow got mangled and then deleted.) (Louis Wu 16:08:04 UTC)

Bungie audio team giving keynote at GD Expo
Very nice - Jay Weinland and CJ Cowan will be giving the Keynote speech at this year's Game Design Expo in Vancouver, BC (January 2008). They'll be talking about "the tools and processes that helped create the sound and visuals for Halo 3". Thanks, RotaJota. (Louis Wu 16:51:01 UTC)

OMRA
trigger119 stopped by yesterday to announce the OMRA - the Online Machinima Rating Association. They're planning on it mostly being used for videos released through GamingTV, but they're also making the ratings graphics available for download, so that machinima makers who elect NOT to host their vids at GTV can still incorporate the ratings. (Because this means that some movies that use this rating system will be self-rated, you should take the ratings with a grain of salt... but the idea is an intriguing one nonetheless.)

Do Something Amazing - your vote is needed
Right after Halo 3 was released, Planet Halo announced a contest whereby cool film clips could win you cool schwag. The entries have been tabulated, the internal votes are in - and they've got three finalists for you to look at and vote on. The original film clips have been turned into HD movie files (WMP9), so you don't need an Xbox Live account to see 'em. The winner goes home with a new Xbox, but all three of these entries will walk away with SOMETHING. Go help decide what. Thanks, Fluffy. (Louis Wu 14:50:35 UTC)

Terminals and Skulls and Fans, Oh My!
We're still working on our local Terminal Guide, but that doesn't mean the rest of the web is waiting for us. Anthony stopped by yesterday to announce a nicely formatted skull/terminal guide he's put up at The Final Fight (it's in two parts, links are both in his forum post), and altfan113 let us know that Halopedia has transcribed all versions of all terminals in their Terminals section. It's out there! (Louis Wu 14:36:31 UTC)

A Million Bucks for Halo 3
Whoa. The Cyberathlete Professional League is hosting a Halo 3 tournament during the Extreme Winter Championships - with a purse of $1,000,000. First place gets a quarter of that, as an instant cash payout... the rest is split between at least 64 places. More details are at the announcement page on the CPL's website, with registration opening on Monday at Halo3Competition.com. That's some serious cash! (Louis Wu 18:26:13 UTC)

That didn't take long...
So, yesterday, we let you know that High Speed Halo had kicked off a 'Million Point Challenge' - they were looking for campaign runs that added up to at least a million points. One of the first runs mentioned in the thread had over a quarter-million points in it, for The Ark; when it was suggested that a million points might be low, Cody Miller replied that only a few levels had the potential for REALLY high scores. Heh. At 8 am this morning (just over 17 hours from the point at which the challenge was announced), goatrope let us know that the challenge had been met - with only 6 levels. Anyone want to try for 2 million? (Louis Wu 13:41:41 UTC)

The Million Point Challenge
Cody Miller announced a new feature at High Speed Halo - the "Million point challenge". Can you help the crew score a total of a million points on the campaign metagame? His first run is up - 73 thousand points on Halo. Go help! (Louis Wu 19:51:12 UTC)
