Halo Bulletin: 25 Jan 2012
The latest Halo Bulletin went live on Waypoint last night (thanks, Grim!) - lots of good stuff, including Seattle reactions to the recent snow, a custom challenge that pays a LOT, info about Halo motion comics coming to the Zune marketplace, tidbits from the Halo 4 team, community questions, and a new fun-themed image. Go read! (It's local, as well, if you'd rather.) (Louis Wu 12:50:50 UTC)

I need a washcloth.
Ross Mills noticed a new set of Halo-themed soaps from Digitalsoaps (we mentioned them back in 2009) - I love the design, but I'm not sure I want to smell like carbonated corn syrup. (The original link was via Sprite Stitch.) (Louis Wu 15:08:44 UTC)

Rust and Echoes
Sqorck stopped by with a link to the Halo theme chanted... in a giant oil chamber. Awesome echoes! Moorpheusl9 followed up with one from a squash court. They both sound great! (Louis Wu 12:09:37 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, Ken whipped up a fantastic Christmas-themed sketch that I'm still struggling to turn into cornershots. Enjoy.

Turkeys in 434
The pre-Christmas Halo Bulletin was posted last night - word of a new Dashboard theme, a tutorial showing you how to benefit from ATLAS, info about custom challenges (including some fun ones from community members), a brand-new Sparkast (w00t!), and info about the January Matchmaking Playlist update are all adorned by tons of fan-created artwork (hint: click on images). As always, you can read this in our Halo Bulletin Archive. (Louis Wu 15:22:57 UTC)

Violin Anthem for Saving the World
Lara is a cosplayer, and a video game music afficionado. She's also really good on violin and piano. Hawaiian Pig pointed out her rendition of the Halo theme on the former. Superb!

Game Paused vs The World
Game Paused, a company that makes videogame-themed shirts (we've worked with them before), is relaunching their website next week, and decided that it might be fun to give away some shirts in celebration of Halo Anniversary. Swing by this page for information on how you and four friends can get in on the action - beat them (they say they're not that great) and you could go home better-dressed! (Louis Wu 18:41:34 UTC)

Get a Fridge, a 360, and HCEA - Free
Wow. So Monster is giving away a bunch of stuff to celebrate the release of Halo Anniversary - the grand prize includes a custom HCEA-themed fridge stocked with Monster, a 360, a few copies of the game, and a few years of LIVE. To enter, you have to Like their Facebook page. (You can't even really see the contest page very well until you do that.) For folks who aren't interested in Liking Monster, full rules (and prizes) are listed on their website. (You can only enter if you're a US citizen. Sorry.) Thanks to Hypertrooper (who seems pretty bitter about the US-only part) for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 19:52:11 UTC)

NHL Halo Sighting
Yazool was at a Tampa Bay Lightning game last night - and was surprised when the organist kicked into the Halo theme during the pregame show. The early part isn't recorded (he didn't have his phone out at the start), but there's a pretty good chunk documented - go listen!

Reach Theme for Cheap
If you wanted a Reach-themed dashboard on your 360, but 240 MS Points ($3) was too steep for you... check again. Right now, it's on sale for half price. Thanks to Morpheus, who found this at TrueAchievements. (Louis Wu 13:27:03 UTC)

Matchmaking Reached Ep 3: The Boy of Destiny
MatthewDratt pointed out a new episode of Darkspire's Matchmaking Reached - what happens when you pour Harry Potter themes into a Halo mold? YOU GET DARK LORD POPS! Wait, that's not right...

Custom Painted Legendary Helmet
If you swing by TheGamersHub, you'll see a video from TotallyLameRobot showing how she painted her Halo 3 Legendary helmet with a custom ODST theme. There are more details in this short video, as well.) Amazing! (Louis Wu 21:57:57 UTC)

Quick Roundup of New Content
There was an amazing amount of new content (and analysis of new content) released yesterday, with respect to the newly-announced Halo: CE Anniversary Edition (coming November 15) and Halo 4 (coming winter 2012) - we hit the highlights yesterday, but here are some of the extra tidbits I found buried in our forum. There's plenty more - if you need every bit you can get, keep a window open there!
- Geoff Keighley interviewed Frankie about the Halo 4 teaser and Halo: Anniversary (thanks, INSANEdrive)
- IGN posted a Rewind Theater episode to analyze the Halo 4 trailer - nice recap (thanks, Chris101b)
- The latest 343 Sparkast is up from 343i (not yet on the rss feed, though) - thanks, Joshua Allen (who also uploaded the Halo: Anniversary main theme).
- If you want to grab logos or a high-res version of the Halo: Anniversary trailer, swing by the Xbox.com Press page - thanks, Asian Inferno. (The Halo 4 trailer is NOT there, unfortunately. You CAN view it on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and Gamersyde has a 720p version - thanks, AladelAngel.)
- DHalo pointed out a high-res version of the Halo 4 splash, suitable for backgrounding.
More as it comes up! (Louis Wu 15:32:47 UTC)

Featured Presentation
Are you bored? Does the outside world seem foreign and inhospitable? I answered yes to both, so here's what I found to pass the time:
- Want to watch 116 players duke it out in a Halo-themed paintball contest? Payback350z has you covered. The player running around with the Energy Sword was awesome, and so was the first-person shooting.
- Here's a fan-made Halo movie trailer from 5233484. According to the description, he or she has never played the games before. Judging from the username, he/she is actually a robot, and this is a warning to humanity that our dependency on technology will bring about our untimely demise.
- Continuing the trend, tu1785566 made a Halo funtage with clips from Halo 3 and Reach. A rather unfortunate song choice, but the clips were good fun.
- Freelancer824 sliced together Halo cutscenes to the song "For the New Lunar Republic," which is apparently a bada** fan-made song for My Little Pony.
- The new "Pregame Lobby," titled "Things Change," is online. There's some NSFW language for you work types.
- Part five of Machinima Respawn's "Adventures in Halo: Reach Campaign Matchmaking" is up. In case you missed them, here are the first four parts: (1 | 2 | 3 | 4).
- DetoX edited a Halo 3 montage featuring RPG Hero. The video has NSFW lyrics.
- Finally, episode eight of "Anguish" came out today. Catch up with the episodes here: (1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7).
And if you're really bored, go watch Halo Legends. I'm about to watch it for the first time. I just got Netflix. Cut me some slack. (Hitmonchan 18:24:14 UTC)

Halo Theme A Cappella Cover
Now this is how you start an a cappella concert! The Vanderbilt Melodores began its spring concert with the classic Halo theme song (complete with chanting, drums and guitar riffs!) before transitioning into "Animal" by Neon Trees. Truly amazing. (Hitmonchan 16:10:03 UTC)
