Commercial of the Decade Followup
Last month, we mentioned AdweekMedia’s ‘Commercial of the Decade’ poll to pick the best commercial of the first 10 years of the 21st century, because Halo’s Believe ad had made the finalists. We thought we’d follow up – it didn’t win. (Still holds a special place in the Halo fan’s heart, though!)(Louis Wu 13:19:09 UTC)

Welcome to Reach
If you watched Spike’s Video Game Awards last night, then you undoubtedly saw the World Premiere of the new Halo Reach Trailer. If you haven’t seen it, head on over to Bungie.net and take a look. It’s also up on Youtube in a couple of places. So it’s time for speculation and we want your questions. After the next episode of Podtacular, we will be putting on a speculation show live sometime late this week or early next week. We will be taking submissions and possibly live questions. There are already discussions going on in the forums, so go indulge yourself.

Mandlbaum in: ‘Core Tempature’ [Part 3]
After a multi-month hiatus, Halo0001 X, of TripleZeroFilms, is back with another episode of Mandlbaum in: “Core Tempature”.Good thing I cleaned out my garage, because I found the next installment in Mandlbaum’s greatest adventure ever! Things are looking bleak for Mandlbaum as his enemies continue to mass their power. Evil plans are coming to fruition and new dark alliances are being made. With the clock counting down until earth’s eminent destruction, Mandlbaum must race to find a way to storm the fortress walls, much less stop Evile Porfesure from blowing up the earth. Can he do it? Watch and find out!
Yes, it’s as bad (so bad it’s good) as it sounds.(Louis Wu 16:12:46 UTC)

Don’t forget – The Package (the full episode this time, not just the second half) is visible at Halo Waypoint, today only; while it MIGHT be available again before February, there are no guarantees. If you’ve got a Gold account, take 15 minutes and go watch!(Louis Wu 16:11:48 UTC)
