Edge let us know that Halotracker is currently running a Reach Campaign Contest – survive as long as possible on Heroic Lone Wolf, with Tough Luck and Catch activated, and you could win a McFarlane Mongoose (with Noble 6). Check the site for full details!(Louis Wu 16:53:48 UTC)

Ed Fries talked to StrategyInformer about how surprising Halo’s success was at the outset, and about some of the unintended consequences of that success. Interesting conversation! Thanks, ElzarTheBam. (Louis Wu 13:11:38 UTC)

Robowski sent word that Post Game Carnage Report 93 is now live – if you’re interested in a podcast full of gaming discussion (including a look at the High Noon map from 343 and some Halo fanfic), go grab a copy!(Louis Wu 13:09:30 UTC)

urk stopped by with a very, very cool present – a link to Bungie’s Facebook page, with a collection of pumpkin templates whipped up by Lorraine McLees. We haven’t announced a Guilt o’ Lantern contest this year – but urk is taunting me for that, so… if you guys wanna play, maybe we can work something out. (Time’s getting tight, though, so…)(Louis Wu 13:08:45 UTC)

A couple of fans dropped off art links in our forum yesterday – great to have people finding cool stuff! CaptainTony pointed out a piece called Sangheili Honor Guardsmen, by DeviantART’s xXHONORguardXx, while SEspider let us know about Aeonsend, who’s posted a couple of Halo pieces. Check ’em out! (Louis Wu 13:07:57 UTC)

Yesterday’s big news out of Bungie was an Android version of their Mobile App – check your friends, their news page, or your Reach stats from whereever you are (as long as you have an Android phone). All this is yours for the low, low price of FREE!(Louis Wu 13:02:51 UTC)

Another quick writeup of the NYCC Halo Anniversary experience can be found at 2D-X.(Louis Wu 15:44:09 UTC)

Dennis Powers let us know that Fearless Chapter Seven has been posted – the Fearless reaches the Artifact and finds a surprise.(Louis Wu 15:42:23 UTC)

jumprs.org member Resix released a new trick-jumping vid yesterday, compiled from community input – Community is 8 minutes of Halo 3 trick jumping, and some of these stunts left me speechless. Amazing. Simply amazing. Thanks, Reidon. (If you don’t want to watch this on YouTube, there’s a 343 mb download link from GameFront in Resix’s post.)(Louis Wu 15:38:49 UTC)

You know how we said on Twitter how we weren’t going to have a show… Well, with all the Halo news that came out this week, we couldn’t leave you all hanging out there without being informed. So if you haven’t heard, Halo CEA has gone gold, the achievements were announced, new things coming to Waypoint, etc. Make sure you join us this week as we recap what’s been going on in the Halo universe. Rukizzel and GrimBrother One return to talk it up. Enjoy

This took FAR too long to put online… but about 3 weeks ago, a handful of hard-working fans packed 450 Grunt Plushies into more than 300 separate bags, in preparation for delivery around the world. We took a few pictures, and thought you might want to see them.(Louis Wu 19:33:19 UTC)
