Halo 3 proves content is (almost) king
An article written by a Silicon Valley insider uses Halo 3 as evidence that content drives sales more than technology does… I think there are lots of examples of that these days, but Halo 3 definitely fits the mold.(Louis Wu 19:22:40 UTC)

Love is a many-splendored thing.
Dan Rhine and his fiancee were married on October 6. They had a pretty cake. Why do you care? Because they’re both avid Halo players, and Halo was there. He and his friends spent the morning trying to collect the IWHBYD skull. “Rock Anthem to Save the World” was played during the reception. And the groom’s cake had a Halo cake topper. Fate had them meet as foes on Xbox Live, but these rings have made them brothers. (Well… spouses, anyway.)(Louis Wu 14:09:45 UTC)

Life-sized Rocket Launcher on eBay
RVideo noticed that one of the original Nightmare Armor Rocket Launchers (they made three, back in the day) is available right now on eBay (take THAT, Hawty McBloggy!). Current bid is $155, reserve is not met yet. There are still 5 and a half days left on the auction. This puppy is 4 feet long, and weighs 24 lbs; it’s a monster!(Louis Wu 13:54:26 UTC)

She Screams in Pink
Elnea posted Halo Action Theater #98 – if you don’t normally read her RvB Journal, you might wonder what that giant cat is doing in frame 3. If you aren’t wondering that… well, I guess the surreality of the strip has become commonplace for you.(Louis Wu 13:50:21 UTC)

Sandtrap is not a natural formation.
Wow… Hawty McBloggy speculated about how interesting it might have been to have had Cortana as the final unlockable in Halo 3. Personally, I’m guessing I’d go crazy after a day or so… but it’s an intriguing idea. Go let her know what you think!(Louis Wu 09:54:04 UTC)

Legendary Helmet Mod Tutorial
Jay sent us a link to a thread he started at the High Impact Halo forums – it gives step-by-step instructions for making your Legendary helmet wearable… with lots and lots of pics. He even added lights! (Remember: if you do this, you’ve done it; you can’t put it back the way it was.)(Louis Wu 09:50:10 UTC)

Lego Madness
Wow – we’ve mentioned Saber-Scorpion before – he’s been building Halo-styled Lego creations for years. A few days ago, though, he posted a couple of pages full of Spartan armor permutations and weapons… and man, they’re amazing. Go look (page one | page two). Thanks to HHRB for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 09:43:38 UTC)

Gears of War PC gone gold! Release date is November 6.

Gears of War PC has officially gone gold and will be released November 6.
Thankfully, this probably won’t end up being one of the most disappointing, lametastic ports ever (Halo 2 Vista, ugh).
If only I had the PC power to run it!

This file name won’t help you.
trigger119 let us know that CROSSFIRE has released a teaser for an upcoming Halo 3 machinima project; there’s very little in it to tell you what’s coming, but based on past work, I’d say it’s one worth waiting for! Swing by Gaming TV to download it.(Louis Wu 21:06:02 UTC)

Spartan Armor – outfit the whole squad
Hawty “eBaying better than you since 1995” McBloggy has written up a guide that lists all the Spartan armor currently available on eBay, just in time for Halloween. (I was interested to see pictures of Chris Bryan’s armor and a couple of Nightmare Armor suits, all with identical text from the same seller – a little strange…) If you’ve left your Halloween planning until now… go look!(Louis Wu 20:53:11 UTC)
