Gizmodo put together a photoshop contest asking you for videogame crossovers you’d like to play. Mario-Kart/Halo made #50! Heh. Thanks, Schedonnardus.(Louis Wu 20:12:20 UTC)

I’m not sure why we forgot to post this this morning (or last night) – but There’s a new PSA up at Red vs Blue. Are you a manly man? You might be their demographic!(Louis Wu 19:56:28 UTC)

Tons of fun stuff in Bungie’s Comm Chatter today – let’s do a roundup:

• Arm The Flag has a podcast devoted to Halo 2 wind-down, and the Carnàge Carnivàle Vidoc. Go relive the recent past!
• Fan Tom Houston did an interview with Jeff Steitzer, the ‘Voice of God’ in Halo’s multiplayer – interesting stuff!
• There’s a new ‘Out of Work Spartan’ episode – in Ep5, Z06 learns he’s gonna be a daddy.
• Although there are a lot of people playing Reach right now (1.2 million have sampled its wares), there are still Halo 3 players out there – and B Mc Gann has Top 10 MLG Plays Episode 12.
• Ready Up Live wants to play with you – check the details in the post.
• Anoj is looking for submissions for a Top 10 Halo Reach Plays vid.
• B.net user Aldridge picked out some cool Beta rendered vids – a few have already been highlighted here, but the collection’s good!
• urk has posted some guidelines to submitting good feedback on the Beta. (You do remember that Bungie is looking for feedback, right?) Give it a read!

(You’ll notice I skipped all the “matchmaking is broken” stuff from last night, both at Bungie.net and at nobleactual.com – it’s all fixed now, so no need to dwell.)(Louis Wu 19:22:50 UTC)

Bungie’s JonnyOThan stopped in with a few cool vids – just “wow, that rocked” moments in Reach recently. Looks like others are adding their own films – stop in and play along!(Louis Wu 18:58:59 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy dug up a really cool pic of some Halo-themed wedding toppers that are just too cute. Go see.(Louis Wu 18:26:01 UTC)

Whew – too much to do today. News catchup time… Let’s start with ‘The Silent Cartographer’ featuring John Powell. Phi1LzA was playing the opening of The Silent Cartographer, and happened to be playing John Powell scores in the background. He was astounded by how smoothly everything lined up, so he decided to share. Pretty cool!(Louis Wu 18:23:56 UTC)
