Naveeda pointed out a blog post over at 2old2play – Caesar has rendered a pretty cool version of the Halo CE pistol – check it out!(Louis Wu 20:57:35 UTC)

FyreWulff pointed out that the November Matchmaking Update is live now – if you check his post, you’ll get a nice color-coded view of existing playlists, showing what (if any) DLC is needed to play.(Louis Wu 20:33:36 UTC)

HBO is still working on a web interface for Sadie’s Story, but if you can’t wait, there are other options out there – some have been online for quite some time already. StUnNeR H2K posted the entire series of 30 audio logs, in 5 videos, as a playlist back on September 30. More recently, Dust Storm put up each transcript as its own file (though also in a full playlist, for ease of playing). (If all you need is the audio, remember that we pointed out HaLo2FrEeEk’s collection of mp3s last week.) Transaction Complete!(Louis Wu 20:10:56 UTC)

Back in June of last year, the Sunrise-run Bungie Store closed its doors… and Bungie fans lost a primary source of cool schwag. Bungie told us all to be patient, though – it was coming back! Well… it took a little while (almost 17 months), but they were true to their word – the Bungie Store is back. It’s using an Amazon backend, and currently selling just a limited selection of goodies… but this should build, over time. Go see what they’ve got!(Louis Wu 19:53:15 UTC)

Remember that really cool animatronic Elite head we mentioned a few weeks ago? Kre8-fx has put together the rest of the outfit – and made a movie of the process. I’m not sure ‘holy crap’ does an adequate job of expressing my amazement with this thing. Nevertheless… holy crap! Go watch. (They’re not done yet, either.) Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 19:43:20 UTC)

A pair of new movies up on Bungie’s Comm Chatter:

• Stewie2552 has an eighth episode of Funny Halo 3 Fails and Laughs for your consideration – plenty of wtf moments.
• Darkspire Films is back with Episode 2 of their Candy Coated Wonder Road – this one’s entitled “Rudy’s Amazing Space Adventure”. Cody and Rudy go to the moon, thanks to a FUNSA rocket, but have some trouble. Go follow along!

Go watch! While you’re over there, check out info about the ForgeHub Hub of the Dead Contest winners (we mentioned it last month), and see how you can win MLG Anaheim passes from 360sync.com. Whee!(Louis Wu 18:39:07 UTC)
