Reminder – HBO shirts at PAX
This is just a quick reminder – kanbo sent out emails last week to everyone who bought the first run of the HBO shirt, giving you instructions on what to do if you want to have your shirt hand-delivered to you at PAX. If you bought a shirt early, and you haven’t seen that email… you need to let him know TODAY, because he’s finalizing plans for which shirts he’s bringing with him to the show. Thanks!(Louis Wu 15:40:18 UTC)

No Halo Fest? No Problem!
For those of you who will be attending Halo Fest, you’ll get the chance to see Dust Storm up along with a lot of other community leaders at the Community Panel along with more awesome panels at the event. It is surely something that you will not want to miss. For those who are not able to go, shame on you for calling yourself a Halo Fan… Just kidding. There are going to be plenty of opportunities to get involved with the festivities. As we have mentioned already, 343i has teamed up with IGN to stream the panels from Halo Fest. There is also a new thread on the Waypoint forums where you can post your questions that we will get asked on the panel, so if you have a question that you want me to answer, post away.If simply watching from the sidelines isn’t enough for you, Kete from The Running Riot is hosting Riot Fest. Riot Fest is taking place on Saturday at 9:00PM EDT (6:00PM PDT) and will have people calling into the show for a little interactive confab between viewers and some of the attendees at Halo Fest. It will be a chance to talk about stuff that will undoubtedly be announced/released at Halo Fest with other people watching from home.

Halo Community Panel – get an early start!
bs angel sent word that there’s a thread set up on the Waypoint Community forums where folks who aren’t going to be able to make it to PAX next week can post questions for the Halo Community Panel, to be held Friday at noon. Swing by and drop off those questions you’ve been burning to ask! (Yesterday, I discussed the concept of gaming communities with someone who began the conversation with “When I think of gamers, I think of Matthew Broderick from WarGames playing Asteroids.” If I can have a productive discussion from THIS humble beginning… next week’s panel should be AWESOME.)(Louis Wu 11:20:33 UTC)

goCHIEFgo pointed out a pair of Gamescom interviews – both Gamespot and Germany’s GamingClerks talked to Dan Ayoub about Halo: Anniversary, and you can see what he had to say to both.

Uh – why? Uh, why? Uh, WHY WON’T HE DIE?
It’s definitely NSFW, but Euee’s Cee-Lo Green parody is pretty funny. (Looks like there’s at least ONE more person that should be happy that the upcoming TU allows DMR bloom to be turned off!) Thanks, CyReN. (Louis Wu 15:45:21 UTC)
