Der Berliner Mauer
Leader of Blind sent us links to a movie he and AxS Kamikaze made for school, about the fall of the Berlin Wall. It’s pretty silly, but has a few fun moments. You can watch it at YouTube, or download it from Mythica.(Louis Wu 17:40:39 UTC)

Wait… she had lunch on High Charity?
Undergroundbob pointed out a rant at Devarr – it’s called ‘Halo 3, Ballad of a Disaster’, and it’s funny (if a bit crude). Give it a read!(Louis Wu 17:40:22 UTC)

As many of you are aware, with our Halo 2 clan activity at an all-time low, we’ve been working on something new for Halo 3 clans. Since the Fall dashboard update did not introduce any clan support as was rumored a while back, we’ve had to get a little inventive to get things rolling again.…

TTL Tues, Ta
XerxdeeJ stopped by with a Tied the Leader Tuesday Update – lessee, we’ve got a rant about ‘fair and balanced’ Xbox Live coverage on the news (with some very good points in it – wouldn’t you just LOVE a mute button for reality?), a real estate ad for a property you really shouldn’t consider buying,…

ODST armor, taking form
SPU7N1K posted the beginnings of some ODST armor about a week ago; I didn’t front-page it, because… well, at the time, it seemed like he’d gotten as far as a tube for his arm. (That’s not fair – it was a LITTLE more advanced than that – but that’s what it seemed like at the…

What will you put on your tombst- erm, tree?
Heh – I’m guessing there’ll be a lot of Christmas trees this year which have a Legendary helmet on top, in place of a star or an angel. We’ve already had word of a pair of them – S Assassin sent us pics of his tree, and Ross Mills found one on Digg. (Louis Wu…

Duct tape – it holds the Covenant together
VelocityTino sent word of this blog entry at ALBOTAS – it details a costume he made which totally ROCKS. It’s an Elite made of duct tape and cardboard, and in it, he stands 8’6″ (that’s almost 2.6 meters to our non-US friends). It even reverses the knees! Check it out. (Louis Wu 12:52:28 UTC)
