Sl’askia pointed out that Achievement HORSE #23 is now live. I think both Jack and Geoff are getting a bit tired of these… I’m not sure how long the series will continue. Some of these maps, however, look pretty cool!(Louis Wu 15:16:58 UTC)

Last month, I mentioned that Jason Evans had completed some Master Chief sculpts in cold-cast bronze, and sometime earlier, I mentioned that he was interested in selling them to help him pay for the mold. They really seemed pretty cool to me – so I bou…

Arithmomaniac continues to make our forum more useful – his latest script for your viewing pleasure adds a local timezone to forum posts. No more need to do the math yourself! (He’s also upgraded the more general HBO Forum Enhancer script – it now spo…

There’s a new Top 10 Halo Reach Kills vid over at IGN – fun tosee that sometimes the weekly Blame Stosh comes from Top 10 vids, and other times clips for the Top 10 vids come from Blame Stosh. Totally loved the Pro-Pipe bomb carrier kill, and the unlu…

Bart Wagner pointed out that the Halo: Faith Facebook page is giving away 200 tickets to the theatrical premiere of the movie (“Locations to be determined”) – if you want in on this, swing by and check out the post!(Louis Wu 16:32:14 UTC)

SEspider found some nice Halo artwork from DeviantART’s Spank-Me-Elmo – an additional look through her gallery shows off an Arbiter pic, a Spec-Ops Elite, and an Avatar-inspired aviation concept she calls the ‘HawkMoth’. Go look!(Louis Wu 14:01:26 UTC)

Norm Scott from 1UP wanted to share the latest addition to his growing series of “point & click” conversions of popular games. If it’s on this site, you can probably guess what game he’s given the treatment to this time. Very funny, go and check it out…

Machinima has a pair of Forge-highlight videos today: Episode two of “Halo: Reach Top Ten Maps of the Week” spotlights an impressive airplane forge, an air hockey rink and a bridge that reminds me of the Assault on the Control Room. …

Sweet mother of pearl: M2KLink posted a YouTube video showcasing a “Twilight Princess” map and mod for Halo: CE. The Banshee is a little out of place, but other than that, this is incredible. Zelda customs, anyone?(Hitmonchan 19:30:22 UTC)

Episode 21 of Anoj’s “Halo Reach: Top 10” series has some ridiculous armor ability moments. Go watch!(Hitmonchan 19:22:19 UTC)
