One Life Remaining: S2: Episode 3
I could have sworn we just mentioned a recent episode of One Life Remaining Season 2… but there’s a NEW one (Episode 3), posted just a few days ago. (Maybe we’ll catch up soon?) Anthony and Kathryn head out on a date, while Chad talks to a solicitor about an inheritance. Check it out.(Louis Wu 15:02:50 UTC)

New Halo Toys – coming soon
Stephen Loftus noticed some new Halo items coming soon – Toychest News has info about upcoming Halo Reach action figures (they’ll be here in September), and Alter Ego Comics is shwoing off a pre-order for a Cortana vinyl 8-inch statue (you can own this in December). Also coming in September is a radio-controlled Scorpion, to go along with your Warthog, Mongoose, and Hornet). Nice! Update: AvatarofChaosvX passed along a sell sheet for Reach Series 1, found on The Collectorate’s forum (login needed to see original thread).(Louis Wu 14:38:40 UTC)

Massive Halo CE News Roundup
Our Halo CE watcher has sent along a pretty amazing update of what’s going on around the Custom Edition community – explore these links!- Ifafudafi released a video showing off the new particle effects he’s added to the Plasma Pistol (along with tons of interesting commentary)
- ShadowSpartan has been working on a real-time Tag Editor; check out the video to watch the interface in action. No more text editing, saving changes, firing up Halo, looking at the change, quitting, re-editing, etc – now you can see your changes as you play. Pretty cool!
- Siliconmaster’s Precipice is getting awfully pretty!
- CtrlAltDestr0y2 has been playing with the flamethrower effects – nice work! – and has added a feature that not even Halo 3 had: destructible projectiles.
- Project Lumoria continues to evolve – check out the latest pics, they’re gorgeous.
- There’s a cool Firefight-type map that gives you credits for finishing waves, which you can use to purchase weapons – interesting!
- An open letter to the developers of Halo 2 Vista has been written – some thought-provoking views in there.
- And finally, some fans are putting together a virtual convention to celebrate the community – nice!
There’s an awful lot of life in this community; go see what folks are doing!(Louis Wu 14:08:59 UTC)

RT: Drunk Tank #67
Starting with this week’s Drunk Tank, we are now releasing “enhanced” podcasts. You should check it out, it allows us to display images and links for you to click while listening to the podcast so you don’t have to switch windows over to the link dump constantly. If you’re audio program doesn’t support it, we also are still offering an mp3 file and the traditional link dump. You can get the podcast via iTunes, Zune Marketplace, or via direct download (or the mp3 version). You can always check out more info about what we discuss and talk about the podcast with other listeners at our official podcast group. Enjoy!
If you have some time to spare, we are conducting a survey on people who listen to the podcast. It is totally optional and if there are any questions you don’t want to answer, please feel free to leave them blank. There is a short 3-4 minute version and a longer 6-7 minute version.

An Army of Clay
About a year ago, we got our first taste of Antithesis’ mad skillz with clay – and since then, he’s popped up a few times, always when Hawty McBloggy notices new material. His adorable Halo creations deserve more than an occasional mention, though – so we’ve set up a gallery for his Halo work. Swing by to see the full scope of his craft so far – and we’ll keep this updated as he makes new figures!(Louis Wu 20:54:37 UTC)
