    The October 2006 Playlist Update has been released this morning and there’ve been quite a few changes. Chief among them is the swapping of the Community Carnage Playlist. Out with HBO and in with Real Custom Games. Team Swat has now become ranked and the usual tweaks have been applied to several playlists.

    Silly me… I didn’t bother to check online when I read that Team SWAT had gone ranked; I’d have found that there were other changes, as well. As KP explains on Bungie.net, Team Carnage has changed, as well – this time, the list comes from the fine crew at Real Custom Games, a 7th Column…

    Interesting – in what seems to be a stealth playlist update, Team SWAT is now ranked. When an explanation shows up from Bungie, we’ll point to it. Thanks to Paul, on our forum, for the first local heads-up.(Louis Wu 19:22:19 UTC)

    Pixellated pointed out that Pixelated Pupils (a webcomic, no relation) was celebrating its 100th episode – and nicely linked all the Halo-related episodes. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 17:54:25 UTC)

    Paul Maestri points out that Halo Heads 16 is now live; a look at modders, and the reactions they engender. I’d forgotten how much I hate Monopoly!(Louis Wu 17:44:11 UTC)

    KP dropped by our forum this morning to show off a new toy he’d picked up. Yes, you probably want one, too. No, he won’t send you this one. Yes, he’s a poopyhead.(Louis Wu 15:34:55 UTC)

    Interesting. The Escapist has an article up now which tries to find an entertainment medium which can be compared evenly to videogames… and ends up correlating the Master Chief to Virgil’s Aeneas. Nicely done! Thanks, Hanchen Lu.(Louis Wu 15:25:12 UTC)

    Over at MLG Pro, Foulacy has taken a close look at some of the reasons why Carbon might have won in Orlando… and how they can make it happen again in the playoffs. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 23:10:30 UTC)

    Z sent word of Chris the Hippie’s Volume 4, a montage that’s more AudioSlave and Foo Fighters than Halo 2. Really heavy on the effects, with (apparently) a mystery hidden within. 150 mb, WMP9 format, hosted by Halo3Forum.com. (Louis Wu 21:04:03 UTC)

    Occasionally, Stuntmutt takes a break from corn to do a public service. Usually, though, even when he’s doing a public service, he still keeps the corn in. Witness today’s One One Se7en, which is actually a love note from one fan to another. With a side helping of corn.(Louis Wu 17:53:12 UTC)

    Josh found a Halo reference in an old episode of F@NB0Y$ – there’s no date on it, but I’d guess it was sometime back in May. Gotta love the 360 fangirl…(Louis Wu 17:17:51 UTC)

    What if Halo was an RTS? Or a third-person shooter? Or it had 32 weapons, different vehicles, and you could ride a lizard? Well it used to be all of these things. Check out this look back at early builds of Halo with naaration by some Bungie guys. They go through and name the vehicles…

    Stephen Loftus has updated his Halo Scale Comparison article; the beginning of it hasn’t changed, but if you scroll down near the bottom of the page, you’ll find an entirely new scale navigation system. Starting with the Halo itself, you can drill down through the various constructs in the game and compare them with like-sized…
