GameDaily has posted their ‘Top 25 Evil Masterminds of All Time‘ – I was rather surprised by the Halo-related entry at #15. (The rest of the list isn’t much better, though.) Thanks, NickLee808.(Louis Wu 12:17:45 UTC)

Nine Games They Really Don’t Want This Christmas
Ouch – GameCyte has taken it upon themselves to warn you against buying some mistakes this year… and on their ‘Anti-Game Guilde 2008, you’ll find the Halo Interactive Strategy Game. In fact, their advice goes further:[S]imply avoid buying your kids anything with the word “Halo” on it — if your child likes Halo, chances are he already owns the games, and that’s all he needs/wants. Warn those grandparents!
I’m not sure I’d go that far… but the guide’s pretty interesting, anyway!(Louis Wu 19:19:12 UTC)

Willey2Gr8’s Halo 2/Halo 3 Montage
Z let us know about Willey2Gr8’s Halo 2/Halo 3 Montage by Phurion – it’s a monster, 276 mb and twelve and a half minutes long… but the gameplay is really good, and the editing’s exciting. The fast-cut style wears after a while, but the Killtrocities and Killamanjaros will revive you.) Check it out at Halo3Forum.com!(Louis Wu 18:59:30 UTC)

Sarge Scares Me
Rooster Teeth has posted a new Thanksgiving PSA for your enjoyment… though I must say it’s more disturbing than most of their announcements. In a bunch of ways. Not really NSFW… but definitely disturbing. Looks like elpolloguapo was first with the news. (Louis Wu 17:49:08 UTC)

Buckell Back in the Hospital
Gah – Tobias Buckell is BACK in the hospital, this time with a pulmonary embolism. (This is basically a blood clot in the artery that brings blood to his lungs.) Best wishes to the man – his Halo novel is now out everywhere, but he’s in. Several people sent this in – thanks to Aaron Spuler, and to General Battuta for starting a thread on our forum.

Halo Goodies, from fan for fans
A couple of posts on our forum will point you to eBay auctions – one is small, the other is rather huge. pete_the_duck is selling a Legendary beer stein – the auction ends tomorrow night, so look fast! And kornman00, looking to help raise money for Hollywood Arts, has put up a huge pile of his exclusive Halo schwag – signed books, exclusive action figures, a gorgeous print, and signed soundtracks – you really want to check these out. (Auctions end in 5 days; he told us about this on Wednesday, when they went live, but we’ve been offline with family since then.)(Louis Wu 17:38:29 UTC)
