Kaidon created a couple of cool action figure accessories for customers… customers that fell through. He’s now selling these items to the general public – if you would like cool ways of displaying your action figures, check these out!(Louis Wu 17:04:26 UTC)

Higuy told us about a new teaser trailer for Lumoria Ep 2 (the campaign mod for Halo CE from the TM Mapping Team). Pretty impressive! (Louis Wu 17:03:35 UTC)

Paula let us know that a stop-motion video made by her friend, for a vocabulary word assignment in school, uses some of her Halo toys – go see! (Louis Wu 17:03:04 UTC)

CruelLEGACEY let’s us know that Episode 1 of Season 2 of his very cool machinima “Playtime” is now available on Halo Waypoint. Very cool! The series’ heroes get some unexpected guests in the opener. Go and check it out! I wonder when the developer commentary edition will come out…(GrimBrother One 14:47:53 UTC)

This is… one of the most bizarre things I’ve sen this week – but it’s pretty awesome. Nathan Fillion and Clare Grant did a reading from a Halo script (well, SORT of a Halo script) at the Nerdmelt Theater (the basement of Meltdown Comics) in LA a couple of weeks ago. The recording is pretty low-quality, but if you listen carefully, you can hear what’s going on. Fillion gets 1 million internets for doing this. (Grant, too.) Thanks to Elnea, who found this for us. Update: kornman00 pointed out a much higher quality vid. Check it! This is gold.(Louis Wu 18:44:22 UTC)

Shadow8P stopped by with a new Windows-based app – it’s like a mini-browser that looks only at B.net’s stats pages. (If you follow a link that leaves Bungie.net, it opens in your regular browser.) A convenient way to look up an opposing team (of four) in the pre-game lobby – check it out!(Louis Wu 16:00:55 UTC)

HC Redemption sent word of Sticktoberfest, a new challenge/contest over at HaloChallenges. You register your gamertag with them, and then you see how many sticks you can get in Matchmaking during the month of October (multiplayer only). Registration is open all month, but you’re encouraged to register early, to ensure there aren’t any last-minute issues that might keep you from participating. Swing by the Challenge page, and get the full details! (The ‘contest’ bit is because there MIGHT be prizes offered. You know… if the fun of the challenge (and cool on-site awards) aren’t enough incentive for you.)(Louis Wu 14:28:55 UTC)

Wow – if you swing by spawn.com, you can see a TON of new figures that will be coming out with McFarlane’s Reach Series 5, due in November. Some of them are pretty amazing! Thanks, Imrane-117, for letting us know.(Louis Wu 14:26:49 UTC)

Tiny stopped by to inform folks about a Solo Firefight Score Attack Beat the Score event to raise money for breast cancer research, being held by the folks who run the FLAG Tournament. They’ve raised $22,000 so far this year, and are hoping to up that total. Registration opened yesterday, with the actual event taking place in 3 weeks. Check the post for more details, or head over to the FLAG homepage to register!(Louis Wu 14:25:04 UTC)

Sidd123456 told us about a teaser trailer for Suicidal Heroes: Episode 3 (Desert Rose). I was pretty impressed! Check it out. (Louis Wu 14:23:24 UTC)

7daywalk was inspired by the Halo 4 reveal to put together this tribute to the game – go check it out! (Louis Wu 14:21:57 UTC)

robofin117 pointed out Another Day on the Job – I found it a mix of interesting effects and stilted action. Judge for yourself!(Louis Wu 14:21:11 UTC)

bryan newman posted a bunch of scanned sketches – take a look!(Louis Wu 18:14:40 UTC)

Some good video content (and more) over at Halo Waypoint today. Puckett’s Picks 4 is another Final Boss/Warriors matchup from MLG Dallas – always amazing to watch gameplay at this level. If MLG CTF action isn’t your bag, maybe you’ll enjoy Grifball Highlight Frenzy 7, the top 10 moments video for September from Grifball Hub. Not interested in videos at all? How about news of the release of Halo HeroClix? 45 figures bring Halo to your tabletop. Go catch up! (Louis Wu 18:10:38 UTC)

Okay, this is some weird stuff. Edge sent word of a video from the HaloSigs and HaloTracker communities – it’s the Top 10 Sigs of September. What makes this fascinating is that all of these were created within Halo Reach’s Forge. You can watch some speed art videos showing stuff like this being created if you have trouble believing what you’re seeing at Halo Reach Sigs – and Edge has put together a playlist of all the Top 10 Sigs eps so far. Wild!(Louis Wu 18:02:44 UTC)

Dust Storm let us know that Podtacular 264 is now live – Goosechecka and Pup from GrifballHub join Rukizzel from the Waypoint forums to discuss communities – go listen! (Louis Wu 17:47:19 UTC)
