    After a few glorious weeks of sunshine, it’s a dreary rainy day here in Seattle. And after a few weeks of Multiplayer and Campaign, it’s Firefight time here on your Weekly Challenge. No correlation, of course. But if you find yourself stuck indoors because your local weather system did not get the memo about it nearly being summer, why not grab a few friends and play some Halo! Get comfy on your couch, grab a cool beverage, and settle in for:

    RIDE THE WAVE – 15,000cR
    Complete 200 Waves in Firefight Matchmaking.

    Two hundred waves could take some time! Recruit new friends by visiting the Weekly Challenge Thread.

    This is a short montage I made with Halo 3 gameplay from Vip3 and Synister. I’ve edited for both of these guys in the past, so feel free to go watch those videos as well. I’ve really been in the mood to edit some Halo 3 clips, and I’ve always wanted to edit to this song, so I thought why not take the opportunity… enjoy!”

    RvB CanWest 2012


    From Laird:

    RvB CanWest, which takes place May 18-20, started out as an event centered around Rooster Teeth. Its sole purpose was to bring our local community together with the hopes of having Rooster Teeth’s staff attend our event and interact with their fans north of the border in Vancouver, Canada. At first that is what happened, but soon many attendees came from numerous different online communities and asked if CanWest could incorporate them in the event schedule. Since then, we have had special guests from Bungie Studios, 343 Industries, Xbox, Rooster Teeth Productions, and many more, providing us with some spectacular content. We now embrace any internet community that wishes to be a part of CanWest as either attendees or special guests.

    Our entire event is dedicated to helping raise funds for Child’s Play and the MS of Canada. Hope to see you there!

    Fellow reclaimers from all over, feast your eyes upon a small replica of a UNSC Paris-class heavy frigate! This replica is made out of wooden coffee stirring sticks, hot glue, and paint. It’s about 18-20 centimeters long, and the name of the ship is the UNSC Pure Wooden Defender. Here is a video that shows the full frigate and a montage of the creation.
