bs angel knows how to find ’em. She sends along a “softer” version of the Chief. Give it an awkward look.(GrimBrother One 19:50:10 UTC)

RC Master kindly sent along a summary of some of the cool new content at High Speed Halo: There’s a 3:51 Legendary speedrun of Nightfall, by Ignatius – with no shots fired, no enemies killed. Wow. Ensnared Cadaver and BishopOfAngst did a lot of co-…

Zelp pointed out a fun GIF at memebase – it sort of looks like it came from Cartoon Network, but maybe not. Anyway, looks like an entertaining game! Update: AssaultGodzilla identified it as a clip from Comedy Central’s Drawn Together. I knew I’d seen t…

Yahtzee’s posted Zero Punctuation’s Top 5 of 2010 – his top (and bottom) five games of the year. The very bottom spot was taken, fleetingly (as a joke) by Halo: Reach. Ouch! (Luckily, he moved on to the REAL last-place finisher soon after.) Thanks, bl…

Zev made a second Halo Reach montage – man’s good with a Sniper Rifle. (And a DMR. And a Needle Rifle. And a shotgun…) Thanks to Bungie’s Comm Chatter for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 18:56:31 UTC)

In addition to the Community Slayer list that’s up now, there’ve been a number of other playlist changes – swing by Bungie.net for a summary of what you’ll find online. Looking forward to trying some of this stuff!(Louis Wu 21:42:23 UTC)

Do NOT take this as gospel (meaning don’t freak out if there’s a delay) – but it’s quite possible that some of the entries in the Forgetacular competition might be showing up in Matchmaking later today. Good news indeed! Update: it’s live NOW. Thanks, …

It’s Trick Jumping Day at Bungie.net – Comm Chatter’s full of gnarly stunts. New ones include: Invisible is a Halo 3 Dualtage from Alex Bounces and Angels of Chaos that uses a lot of invincibility to get some nice explosive-assisted jumps. Renegade …

Don’t forget, Halo: Cryptum by renowned science fiction author Greg Bear is on store shelves today! Waypoint is helping get ready with a Forerunner Primer featuring the Bestiarum and more. Go and check it out! Thanks to General Vagueness who also not…

BlueNinja used Bungie’s pan-cam (and a bit of ingenuity) to break out of the play area in Exodus, and get some pretty cool pics – go read about it!(Louis Wu 19:37:30 UTC)

Cody Miller dropped by to remind folks that Awesome Games Done Quick is just 3 days away – he’ll be speedrunning Halo on the 6th at 8:10pm Eastern. As an added incentive to donate, folks who drop $5 or more into the pot are entered into a drawing to w…

urk’s back from a well-earned holiday break, and Bungie’s Comm Chatter is full of news. Here’s some stuff that didn’t make it into our feed in the last couple of weeks: a rascal cat put up Week 8 of his Map Spotlight series – this one focuses on Joes…

SPU7N1K ran across a video of some folks in armor screwing around in a parking garage… and surprising some unsuspecting drivers!(Louis Wu 17:33:48 UTC)

Vlad356 (now posting on our forum as Computron) stopped in with a couple of new Forge effects – a Hall of Mirrors, and a Furnace. If you’d rather read about thse elsewhere, he’s posted the same info at Bungie.net and at Forge Hub. Fun! (Louis Wu 17:33…

Goosechecka wrote to let us know that GrifballHub is hosting 4 GRUNTs (Grifball in Reach Neighborhood Tournaments – cute, except missing a ‘U’) starting this upcoming Wednesday, January 5. These will help you prepare for the next Grifball Gaming League…

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…
