I ran across this video yesterday – it deserves mention just for the surreality. (It doesn’t end as you’d expect. Well, it didn’t end as I expected.)(Louis Wu 11:35:59 UTC)

Every year, we’ve hosted a pumpkin-carving contest, and we’ve given away some really cool stuff. This year, real life has gotten in the way, and we just HAD a contest where we gave away a lot of really cool stuff… so it’s unclear what we’re going to have in the pot for pumpkin-carvers. However, that…

Rockslider has come up with a reliable way of taking down a pair of Sniper Jackals on Tsavo Highway – and discusses using a feature Bungie included to keep the game from getting too frustrating as a way to replay sections of the game. Check out his new work on Bad Cyborg!(Louis Wu 19:37:43 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy found a fun rap called ‘Still a Brigadier’ – if you’re having trouble getting those General stars, you might just relate. (Even if you can’t relate – I’m 15 levels away from even the ‘still’ in this song – it’s pretty funny. Go listen!(Louis Wu 19:30:58 UTC)

xen eldridge sent us a note that Halo3RPG is doing another DXP Weekend – it’s called ‘War’ this week, and it’s two teams of 50, with a score to win of 500.

Today’s iteration of the Bungie Weekly Update is actually quite full of content – there’s a File Share FAQ (one that should have been posted a week ago) – with even more info from Stosh, a cool trick for viewing screenshots (seems to be broken on Macs), more info about Bungie Cards, tips for maximizing…

Last night, Rooster Teeth posted a new PSA in honor of this week’s Columbus Day – unfortunately, it’s Sponsors-only. If you’re a sponsor, though, swing by and watch it; Caboose is a funny guy!
