Pieces to the Puzzle
TTL Demag0gue pointed out that Reclaimer 95 is online – the pieces are starting to fall into place. Well, for the Reclaimer, anyway, if not for us.(Louis Wu 14:30:15 UTC)

Fight Like a Girl
KP has a way with words – but it’s not always the way you want to go. A nice example is his intro to the Cavegirls’ Fight Like a Girl tournament, coming up in 3 weeks – it will benefit breast and cervical cancer research, and it promises to be a blast, if the last couple of years are any indication. Signups started yesterday – read his post, laugh a little, then swing by and sign up!(Louis Wu 23:38:27 UTC)

That just looks… painful.
Devin Olsen, jealous of the press Hawty McBloggy gets by turning up unique Halo action figures on eBay, has found his own truly bizarre creation – a Custom Halo 3 Hayabusa Spartan… with wrist blades. Yep, you read that right – this guy could take on Wolverine. (Given that his blades are 2-3x as long as Wolverine’s, he might even win.)(Louis Wu 20:00:38 UTC)

Halo Photoshoot (pre-edit)
Adam Grumbo sent us a link to a series of photos taken at a recent shoot at the Austin Airport. All I can say is… dang. Nice work! He hastens to point out that these have not been digitally edited at all.(Louis Wu 19:31:40 UTC)

Hard Justice: Episode 1
DigitalPh33r’s Hard Justice: Episode 1 is now up on YouTube. I’m a little confused – it looks like he just added 4 new minutes to the 4-minute ‘promo’ released a couple of weeks ago. (I guess I always thought a ‘promo’ was suppose to give you a taste of what the full version would be like, not BE the first half of the full version – but I’ve certainly been wrong before.) The series looks to be commentary on an overbearing police state… judgement is reserved until more content is released. Thanks, UnSiLeNtSlAyEr.(Louis Wu 19:04:43 UTC)

EXP is back – and Team Snipers is Up
This morning, Bungie posted a final update in their ongoing saga about the Experience problems folks have been having on LIVE. Looks like everything is finally worked out – but Experience not gained in the last couple of days will NOT be retroactively assigned. On the plus side, the Double XP weekend has just gone live – this weekend, it’s Team Snipers. Go shoot someone!(Louis Wu 18:00:48 UTC)

A Halo CE Roadtrip Redux
Siliconmaster482 has revisited his idea of showcasing the Halo Custom Edition maps created by the community (we mentioned his first attempt about 3 years ago) – he’s created a five-minute, high-quality video that shows off a huge number of maps (though really only the middle two and a half minutes contain actual footage). You’ll find details and links to downloads and streaming versions in his forum post. (Louis Wu 14:25:53 UTC)
