Halo Bulletin: February 2, 2012
This week's Halo Bulletin is up - a touch later than usual, but none the worse for wear. February Matchmaking updates make up the bulk of the Bulletin, but food for the hungry, a new Custom Challenge, YouTube news, and what's next for Waypoint all get some love. (Some heartening (and not-so-heartening) news in that last one.) You can read it at Halo Waypoint, or in our Halo Bulletin Archive. Definitely read it, though. (Louis Wu 22:15:29 UTC)

Halo Reach Tricks: Hiding Spots
CMNeir is back with another Trick video - this one points out hiding places in Halo: Reach multiplayer maps. Some are clever, but some are simply obnoxious - use these at your own peril. Remember - in custom games, where everyone is choosing to be there, this sort of thing is far less annoying than it is in Matchmaking.

Hedge's Pics Always Get My Pulse Racing
Today's HBO update comes to you live from the media center at Daytona International Speedway, where your race-weathered Grim has ducked into to keep race fans informed of of various speedy-goings on, and Halo fans informed of our favorite franchise. We're now into the 19th hour into the Rolex 24 Hours, and normally, it's hard for me to feel like much compares to the raw and elegant beauty of a proper race car at speed. However, our beloved Hedgemony certainly makes a strong push for top spot on the podium with his latest round of gorgeous screenshots and panos from the most recent Community Customs night. They have awakened my tired and sleepy eyes, and I think they'll do the same for you... check it out! (GrimBrother One 16:07:03 UTC)

Custom Challenge Heads-Up
This week's Halo Bulletin had word of a Custom Challenge available on Halo Waypoint that could get you 10x the normal credits - I ran into a little bit of trouble this afternoon, and wanted to pass along something I learned. Skulls are important - if your activated skulls don't EXACTLY match the skulls listed in the challenge, you will NOT get the credits. (Since the available skulls for challenges are Gold-only, this means that you cannot have any silver skulls activated while doing a Custom Campaign Challenge.) I play with the Grunt Birthday Party and IWHBYD skulls activated at almost all times - I hardly even thing about them any more. If you do this too, remember to turn them off before doing Custom Challenges. (Louis Wu 04:18:39 UTC)

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)

Community Customs Montage: 1.13.12
MixMaker117 put together another montage based on customs madness; this one collects footage (and in-game silliness) from last Friday night. Four minutes of fun. Thanks, SEspider. (Louis Wu 13:31:47 UTC)

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)

Shotguns & Shenanigans
Do you love Panoz? I mean, panos? Then make sure you check out the deadly delights our man Hedgemony dropped off on our forum today.

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)

Reach Customz: Episode 11 - Coned!
Timgie released another Reach Customz video - Episode 11 focuses on Coned! This is a Headhunter gametype with a moving capture point. It moves because it's focused on a cone - which means you can move it yourself. Pretty clever! (Louis Wu 15:34:01 UTC)

Aftermath (and Flushing Toilet)
Timgie stopped in to let people know about Aftermath, a new Halo 3 machinima he's put together. Poignant. (He's also got a new episode of Reach Customz up, focusing on a pretty fun-looking gametype - but this one was only announced at Halo Waypoint.) (Louis Wu 18:44:35 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)
