Sorry, Cancer
Morpheus noticed a new Adult Swim bump (a short buffer or bumper between a TV show and commercials) that highlights the stats Bungie posted when Halo control was transferred to 343 at the end of March. (It went live last night, and can be seen at BumpWorthy, a site devoted to archiving Adult Swim bumps.) Their conclusion, while a bit depressing, might just be right.

The Video Game Rock Medley
Morpheus noticed a pretty cool video game rock medley - 10 minutes, 34 games, all played by a couple of guys. Halo makes an appearance, relativley early on. Take a look!

Easy Does It 2: The... something
Morpheus is kicking off a new Easy Does It contest - play Halo 3, ODST, and/or Reach on Easy mode, with campaign scoring on, and you're in the running for a bunch of prizes. Read his post for full details. (Tom Van Sinden 14:28:41 UTC)

Anniversary or Reach - for cheap
Need a copy of Halo Anniversary, or Reach? Morpheus pointed out a couple of decently-priced options this week!

Communitage 3 Teaser Video
Morpheus let us know that it's been almost a year since the last word of his Communitage, so it's time for another update. There's a new teaser online - mellow music, frenetic cuts. Release by... 2017? (Louis Wu 15:51:50 UTC)

Complex's 10 Most Delayed Games
Some games take a little longer than expected to reach the market. Complex has put together a list of 10 they consider 'most delayed'. Halo is on it. Thanks, Morpheus.

Major Nelson hosts a Halo LAN
Major Nelson released a new "Major's Minute" on Inside Xbox (also visible on the web here - just click the 'Major's Minute – Halo Anniversary' link) - it's a look at a very cool LAN party he hosted recently. Thanks again, Morpheus.

Winter is coming... to the Tetris wall
Morpheus let us know about a pretty funny video from G4's X-Play - Master Chief has just a few cameo bits, but overall, it's really nicely done. (Makes far more sense if you've seen HBO's Game of Thrones...) (Louis Wu 16:51:02 UTC)

I Need an ID.
Morpheus noticed a couple of days ago that Robot Chicken had a pretty funny Master Chief sketch on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim - you can watch it now on their website. Update: apparently, that link only works if you're inside the US. Try this one if you're not - thanks, The Loot. (Louis Wu 16:23:03 UTC)

Starting Strong
Morpheus noticed a GameInformer article on the Top Ten Launch Games of All Time (how do you measure this?) - Halo made the list. Pretty high up, even!

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)

The Times, They Have A'Changed Him
IGN has a neat little piece that looks at the Visual History of Master Chief and other Spartans. Very cool wall down visual memory lane. Thanks for letting us know, Morpheus! (GrimBrother One 13:48:21 UTC)

It's all about the lists
Among the things we missed in the last week - Morpheus provided a couple of links (here and here) for lists that include Halo. Dorkly.com put together their 10 Most Depressing Endings in Videogame History, and Reach made the top 3. (I'm not sure I'd agree that 'Depressing' is the right word for this...) And G4 decided that Peter Moore's unveiling of Halo 2's release date was among the 5 most shocking E3 moments (of all time). And while we're talking about lists, Sl'askia pointed out a Cracked.com list called 'The 6 Most Ominous Trends in Video Games' which includes the Halo series in #3. Whee!

Crate Googly Moogly
Morpheus wanted to share one of his greater moments in Reach gaming. I laughed. Go check it out! (GrimBrother One 21:12:53 UTC)

Reach-newing Your Gold Account
Morpheus brings word of a potentially pretty sweet deal for users looking to upgrade or renew their XBL Gold account. Apparently upgrading through the dashboard at this time can not only net you 20% off the regular price, but you can nab a free game from a small selection, one of them being Reach. We'll bring you more details if we have them, but either way, keep an eye on this one. (GrimBrother One 07:47:19 UTC)

An Oldie Boll A Goodie
Just in case anyone else had forgotten, or not seen it in the first place... Go launch a Warthog. Seriously, it's still fun after all these years. I'd easily pay 400msp for an XBLA version with Leaderboards and Achievements. Thanks to Morpheus for the nostalgia... (GrimBrother One 06:05:35 UTC)

GI Goodies
Morpheus pointed out a couple of Halo-related bits in Game Informer - an online version of their Top 50 Games of 2010 (Halo items show up in a number of categories), and a pretty nice poster they're selling. Go look! (Louis Wu 14:38:03 UTC)

HRBTM Communitage 3 Trailer
Morpheus stopped in with word of a Halo 3 communitage that's been years in the making - production values on the trailer are quite high, but as he mentions in his forum post, if you're not a screamo fan, you're gonna hate the music. (Louis Wu 19:41:20 UTC)

G4's Reach Coverage
Morpheus brought us a bunch of G4 links that reference Reach in various ways - always nice to have summaries!

Another look at video game movies
Morpheus noticed an IGN article entitled 'How To Make Video Game Movies Not Suck' - Halo is a big part of it. Interesting read! (Louis Wu 17:23:17 UTC)

GI's Top 30
Morpheus pointed out that the latest GameInformer (print) has a list of the Top 30 Characters that Defined the Tip of the 21st Century - and Master Chief is at #4. He also provided a link where you can vote for your OWN Top 30. Go see what they had to say about Spartan 117.

This is the Saddest Day in the World
Morpheus believes that there will never be another Fiesta playlist... ever. (Seems pretty unlikely to me, but maybe he knows something I don't.) Regardless of whether he's right or not, the tribute he made for Fiesta is touching. (The use of Metalocalypse music is interesting...) (Louis Wu 21:01:17 UTC)

He's just had an apostrophe
At an almost-Halo time of the night/early morning, Morpheus had a spark. Or something like that. No matter, the end result is a really cool screenshot contest that could net you 200 render minutes for an awesome "Death from Beyond the Grave" moment. Go and get some more details and give it your best posthumous shot! (GrimBrother One 05:39:37 UTC)

FLAG writeup
Morpheus played in last weekend's FLAG Tournament - and wants to tell you ALL about it. (Lots and lots and lots of pics...) (Louis Wu 10:53:40 UTC)

Reach: a couple of views
We haven't been posting reviews of Halo: Reach, because there are lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of them (Metacritic currently lists 60 critic reviews, and 127 user reviews), but here are a couple of items - one local and one not - that are not quite reviews, but worth checking out. G4's Adam Sessler talks about Reach in the context of the buzz it's created - it's a decent watch. (Minor spoilers, if you watch the screens behind Adam.) Thanks, Morpheus. And Cody Miller writes four thousand words on Reach, and how it feels to him. You can certainly disagree with some of his points, but you can't deny he explains his positions. (Spoilers abound.)
