FoxmanFX let us know about the Halo Reach Daily Christmas Contest – you’ve got to play a game of Gruntpocalypse on Glacier without dying, and you have to do it before Sunday’s challenges are posted (which means a bit more than 7 hours from the time of…

Phoenix_9286 had an ODST-themed holiday wish – go read.(Louis Wu 03:40:27 UTC)

Apologies for the lack of news – holiday doings take up a LOT of time, I guess.INSANEdrive let us know about a trailer for Pixel Force’s Halo, a retro 2D makeover for the popular game. (His post also contains links to articles at Kotaku and Joystiq.) L…

JDQuackers pointed out a piece created by Matthew Davis a couple of years ago (it was just highlighted by Kotaku today, but hit the web in 2008) – it uses the Master Chief as a (literal) poster boy for desensitization. Agree or disagree – it’s nicely p…

Rockslider was privy to an interesting briefing by Sergeant Johnson… but I guess he didn’t get the video camera out until just after it ended. Read all about it in his forum post – then go watch the footage.(Louis Wu 17:44:35 UTC)

Interesting pickup by Kotaku – a street artist in San Francisco is making a statement about modern warfare… by using imagery from Halo. Ouch!(Louis Wu 14:42:21 UTC)

Absolutely NSFW, but one of the Backstreet Boys (the dude’s in his 30s now; I wonder if ‘Boys’ still applies?) put on a Halo costume and took a bunch of really random pictures with a naked woman. I… I simply don’t understand how this stuff happens. …

Waypoint has a new ordinance piece up, this one chronicles some of the various iterations of the UNSC Assault Rifle. Nice shots and cool info await your clickage!(GrimBrother One 20:10:33 UTC)

A Gamasutra feature, ‘Five Minutes With…’, takes on the Firefight menu system – they’re not even PLAYING the game, just setting it up. It’s a great read, and if you haven’t gotten lost in these menus yet, this article might help. hnc on our forum wa…

Bungie.net’s got a few new videos for your afternoon-wasting pleasure – a couple were even posted Friday, but we never got to ’em: IGN posted their Top 10 Kills for 12/1 – some are great examples of skill, some are fun, and some are fails. Funny Hal…

GodlyPerfection is back with another Forge lesson – this one is titled ‘Dedication’, and the idea is that continuing to work on a map after it’s fleshed out can lead to a polished product. Give it a read!(Louis Wu 15:08:25 UTC)
