In response to a Bungie.net forum post requesting new visor colors, H1GH OCTANE whipped up a collection of 30 new Halo Reach armory items – some are silly, some are super-cool, some should be available NOW. These are hosted at Google, so bandwidth is u…

ZZomBiE13 let us know that Fails of The Week Volume 8 is now online – lots of examples of people getting stuck in situations they really shouldn’t be in.(Louis Wu 12:02:05 UTC)

Laird reminded us that though we haven’t provided you with an update in a few days, the Good Game Media Fall Charity Auction is still going strong, and that there are a whole bunch of new auctions involving Halo schwag online right now. Here’s the comp…

The Bungie Weekly Update is full of info about the upcoming playlist changes (set to go live on November 30, a bit later than expected for a ‘November” update, but hey, it’s timed to coincide with the Noble Map Pack DLC), as well as some interesting i…

Here’s a new one – Jefftoolbox is offering his artistic services – for your Halo pleasure. He’ll sketch your Reach character (you pick the armor, you pick the pose, you pick the lighting, etc), with colored pencils, on heavy paper… for $30. Check ou…

Our Schwag Angels, Domino Theory and Devin Olsen, have both picked winners for their respective giveaways. Congrats to Moosetastic007, who’s picked up Halo books 1-3 from Domino’s Grab Bag Giveaways! And congrats to Fiznithy, who won Devin-Sent! We’ll…

Wow. ElzarTheBam pointed out an article at Joystiq about a Noble Map Pack pre-order deal from Gamestop that has me reaching for the duct tape… (We all need to keep our brains in our skulls SOMEHOW.)(Louis Wu 19:19:46 UTC)

FyreWulff has another iteration of Fire Team Zulu for you today – one ODST Campaign challenge, and one Halo 3 Campaign challenge. Both are on Heroic difficulty. Go check ’em out – and Rise to the Challenges!(Louis Wu 17:06:32 UTC)

It’s Friday, so it’s time for another installment of Tyrant’s Halo: Reach Mythic Difficulty Guide. This time, he tackles ONI Sword Base. The guide is quite hefty – 2 pages of text, 17 videos, all aimed at getting you successfully through a harrowing l…

This year’s Guilt O’ Lantern competition was the largest one ever – 150 entries. Took a long time to process them all so you could vote on them, and the voting itself took a while. But it slowed down to a trickle yesterday, so we turned off the spigot…

Looks like Stuntmutt pulled today’s One One Se7en from personal experience, again…(Louis Wu 12:48:53 UTC)

Geekscape’s Brian GIlmore sent word of the last Armor Ability still to be covered by the Teabag Prevention Team – Evade. Read up to see when to use it – and when NOT to use it. Roll your way to victory!(Louis Wu 12:48:05 UTC)

Queso Man let us know about Queso Man 8, the “conclusive epilogue to the Queso Man saga”. (The Queso Man vids are full of funny/silly moments in Halo 3 multiplay.) It was released just before Reach came out… but I guess he got distracted after that….

Just a couple of new entries in the Fan Fiction section this week – go read ’em!(Louis Wu 12:42:32 UTC)

Forward Unto Dawn honcho Dani sent word of a new article that focuses on the Veto process of Halo: Reach’s matchmaking. Give it a read, and throw in your own thoughts about how games are picked in Reach!(Louis Wu 12:39:10 UTC)

RollinRollin13 sent word that a new project – The TBCS Project – is in its initial phases; he hopes to build a Bungie Community Snapshot from a huge collection of tiny pictures. If you’d like to contribute, keep an eye on the website; they’re not open…

The Halo Humpday Challenge this week had Bungie facing off against Team Fire Fodder – members of Seattle’s Fire Department. By the numbers, it was a rout – but the writeup makes it clear that it was a pretty fun evening, even for the team with fewer p…

If you looked at the Prize List this time around for our Guilt O’ Lantern contest, you’d have seen that the First Place winner will receive (among other things) a “Halloween-themed Mister Chief painting or drawing”. A Waypoint Tweet today pointed to w…

Is it Thursday again? Hey – if you’re not playing Reach (or Black Ops), maybe you wanna jump into a Halo 3 Double EXP Weekend playlist? This week, it’s Fiesta FFA (unranked, unfortunately). Get your random on! Thanks, FyreWulff.(Louis Wu 21:09:10 UTC)
