Limited Edition Controllers – For Cheap
Darknesshasfallen noticed that Target has put the Limited Edition Halo controllers on clearance – you might want to check a local store to see if this is true for you, as well. (He found them for under $10 there.)(Louis Wu 12:26:19 UTC)

Floaty Silence 4 – Climax of Boredom
Hellhawk announced Floaty Silence 4 – Climax of Boredom a couple of days ago, I decided to wait until I could watch it to announce it. I’m glad I did; it’s a pretty funny reenactment of the Crow’s Nest opening cutscene. Go watch it!(Louis Wu 12:24:41 UTC)

Panoramadingdong
The panorama craze continues – Crab has sent us another 6, including two from the new Legendary maps and 4 from older multiplayer locations (I LOVE the Avalanche cloud system!), and nomis78 stopped by with a pair from Avalanche and one from Construct. (Crab says he’s done for the time being, but there are still several artists toiling away to bring you new and breathtaking vistas.)(Louis Wu 12:20:46 UTC)

The drunks are using their tax refunds to buy beer and complain about stuff they should have spent their money on instead. The Sims recently sold its 100,000,000th copy. [link] Geoff — By my count, that means they’ve earned $6,723,121,098,192.36…

Legendary Panoramas
RVideo’s already put some time into Legendary panoramas – this post, and this one, both have gorgeous shots from outside Avalanche and Blackout. (The first one also has a bunch of wallpaper options of the first Blackout shot.) The Avalanche piece is simply amazing. And… that’s it for today. Away from the keyboard until tonight!(Louis Wu 12:21:54 UTC)

Raulboy found a song that’s clearly Halo-inspired… but listening to it makes my ears bleed. What a tradeoff!(Louis Wu 12:18:56 UTC)

I need a cigar.
SPARTAN-1138 found a pretty odd film on YouTube – someone performing Sergeant Johnson’s speeches from Halo and Halo 2.(Louis Wu 12:10:25 UTC)

I don’t know if anyone checked out the “Chessmaster Live Hip Hop Weekend” event last week, but I must admit the concept intrigued me (not enough to play Chess mind you). Today’s comic takes a stab at how it likely went down. dggeoff

You Know The Drill.
It’s amazing what’ll bring some people out of retirement. (Don’t get used to it – this won’t be a regular occurance.) Stuntmutt celebrates the release of the Legendary Map Pack with a pair of groanworthy puns – go see!(Louis Wu 20:18:00 UTC)

Superheroes
AytonHunter stopped by to announce that Halopen has released ‘Superheroes’, a 30-minute machinima project. (There’s no way I can watch a 30 minute film on this connection while out of town – so watch it yourself, and add your review to AytonHunter’s thread!)(Louis Wu 20:17:22 UTC)

Outside
RVideo stopped by with ‘Outside’, a pan-cam montage video showing a number of multiplayer maps from far, far outside the field of play. Very cool views!(Louis Wu 20:10:40 UTC)

Preorder Ninja Gaiden II, get Legendary maps free
Darknesshasfallen noticed that Circuit City is offering a free code for the Legendary Map Pack if you place a preorder on Ninja Gaiden II. (Hawty McBlogggy found this at Xbox360Fanboy, as well.) Not a bad deal if you were going to buy Ninja Gaiden anyway and you’re willing to wait a few days for the maps!(Louis Wu 20:01:40 UTC)
