Morpheus let us know that it’s been almost a year since the last word of his Communitage, so it’s time for another update. There’s a new teaser online – mellow music, frenetic cuts. Release by… 2017?(Louis Wu 15:51:50 UTC)

Higuy, from the Lumoria Team, sent word that they’ve got new gameplay footage from Episode Two. Looks like fun!(Louis Wu 19:17:31 UTC)

Rockslider has not yet found the end of the Fun Rainbow on Winter Contingency – he managed to get himself a THIRD Falcon after the Evac Zone battle. Amazing.(Louis Wu 19:03:43 UTC)

We missed this a few days ago when it went live – but Dax01 pointed it out on GAF this weekend. Rage Quit took on Halo: Reach on LASO in the most recent episode – Michael definitely keeps this one NSFW with his language, but I was amused. Go watch. (Louis Wu 18:54:21 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, Ken whipped up a fantastic Christmas-themed sketch that I’m still struggling to turn into cornershots. Enjoy. (Louis Wu 18:50:57 UTC)

Slightly Live put together a page for fans – translation can be done with the same key that gets you through the Terminals. <3 to the community!(Louis Wu 18:47:02 UTC)

Once again, we have a new Christmas Comic for you, from Stuntmutt… and a day of rest. See you all on Monday!

I totally missed this when it came in on Thursday – but luckily, there are still 4 days left. invisiblecatfish sent word that he’d found some Halo Mylar prints on eBay – these don’t come up very often! There’s a Halo 2 Chief, one of Eddie Smith’s Halo 2 ‘Scarab Assault’ prints, and a Halo 3 ‘Ark Storm’ (I missed this one when it came out originally). Bids end Wednesday, around 7:30pm PST (see the auction pages for exact timing) – starting bids are $100 (for Scarab Assault) and $125 (for the Chief and Ark Storm, each). (Louis Wu 20:08:23 UTC)

The first piece of the Arby ‘n’ the Chief 2011 Christmas Special is online now – I feel sorry for Arby.(Louis Wu 20:03:12 UTC)

Frankie stopped in to wish HBO a great upcoming week – and to remind us that an excerpt of Greg Bear’s Primordium will be posted at Halo Waypoint on Wednesday. Nice!(Louis Wu 20:01:48 UTC)

This thread makes me happy.(Louis Wu 19:57:44 UTC)

Tepec stopped in with a holiday video from IloveBTB, a French site devoted to BTB fights – it’s the end of a game on Timberland, and the cinematography is fantastic! Check it out.(Louis Wu 19:57:01 UTC)

Humbaba pointed out a photo collection at BBC.com about lenticular cloud formations over West Yorkshire that look… awfully familiar. Puts the reddit sighting a couple of days ago into context!(Louis Wu 19:54:36 UTC)

Two years ago, GrimBrother One wrote up The Ghosts of Christmas Future – and last night, he ran across it and reposted it. Oldie but a goodie!(Louis Wu 19:52:05 UTC)

hezekiah let us know about the release of AchievementHunter’s Fails of the Weak #66 – I thought the rocket through the Banshee was pretty cool. Watch it at AchievementHunter.com or YouTube, your choice.(Louis Wu 19:50:26 UTC)
