Carving Options
Totally missed this note from Black Six a few days ago – but there’s still time! The deadline for our 343 Guilt O’ Lantern contest is fast approaching (Friday night at Midnight, EST) – but you still have time to carve, and Xbox.com released some stencils which might help. (They’re not ALL Halo-related… but some are.)(Louis Wu 23:59:52 UTC)

Fighting in a bowl
Rockslider has returned to the Rockslide Megabattle – he’s got a new technique he calls the ‘Inner Rise Defence’ (and because it’s his, I’ll even use his spelling of ‘defense’). Check it out! (Louis Wu 22:07:45 UTC)

Scarab… SKULL?
Did you ever get a chance to play with the Scarab Gun in Halo 2? Looks like 343 has added a Scarab Skull to H2A… which turns EVERY gun into a Scarab Gun. You can watch what it looks like as Greenskull plays through – thanks, robofin117.(Louis Wu 22:03:11 UTC)

Halo Wars Uncaged
kornman00 grabbed some pretty cool Halo Wars screenshots for someone, but the project never went anywhere. Their loss is your gain – go check these out! (He calls them ‘Halo Wars Uncaged’, because he’s removed a number of limits that blocked this sort of shot before.) Enjoy ’em!(Louis Wu 21:55:39 UTC)

Let’s Play Destiny Co-Op #16: Eye of a Gate Lord
Blackstar and Narcogen are picking up with playing Destiny in co-op mode with the first moon mission: The Dark Beyond. (The Cosmodrome story missions and strike seem largely unchanged from the beta test, at least at their lower difficulty levels).
In this level, we challenge a Gate Lord to steal its eye.

Podtacular 448: Extra Life 2014
This past weekend, we joined thousands of gamers around the world in support of Extra Life, a 24-hour charity event where people play video games to raise donations for their local children’s hospitals. We were blessed to reach our initial goal of $500 and we appreciate everyone who donated to the cause. While the event is over, you can still contribute to our Extra Life team. We had a great schedule of Halo gameplay including a shenanigan-filled Halo 3 campaign with the Podtacular staff. If you’re interested in finding out what happened, you can go here.In Halo news, IGN released the final two videos of The Master Chief Collection running at 1080P, 60FPS. Halo 3 look surprisingly good despite the age of the engine, being able to pick out the subtitles in textures and the smoothness of models. Stonetown, the remake of Zanzibar got the in-depth walk-through treatment this week. Halo Fest is returning for the launch of The Master Chief Collection, but not in the way you may remember it if you were at Pax Prime in 2011. Finally, we got a trailer for Remaking the Legend Halo 2: Anniversary documentary that will be premiering on Friday and available for free on Xbox Video and the Halo Channel November 11th.
