The Beauty of Reach
I sort of expected Hedgemony’s weeklong tribute to Halo to wrap up yesterday – but who am I to argue if someone wants to give me MORE cool stuff? Amazing collection of Reach shots, this.(Louis Wu 15:56:10 UTC)

Headhunters 3
The third and final part of Headhunters is up at Halo: Waypoint – some fantastic graphics work! If you haven’t watched any of these – this is a great one to jump in with. It does a fantastic job of bringing Jon Goff’s already great story to life. Thanks, bryan newman. (Louis Wu 15:29:36 UTC)

Marty Feels Left Out
Marty O’Donnell wants to know if you’d be interested in bidding for “old original handwritten (by me) Halo music” as part of the offerings from Bungie for the Child’s Play auctions? (By HIM, not by me.) Seems like a no-brainer – but hey, he asked! (Louis Wu 15:26:40 UTC)

IGN’S Top 100 Modern Games
IGN posted their Top 100 Modern Games – and Reach made #14 on the list. (There is only one game per franchise is on the list, for anyone annoyed that, say, Halo 3 isn’t there.) Thanks, Avateur. (Louis Wu 15:25:38 UTC)

Been a while since we’ve seen one of these on eBay – but if you’ve always wanted to get your hands on a 6-foot Master Chief statue, there’s one for sale now (admittedly overpriced). Thanks, Joshua Allen. (Louis Wu 15:23:39 UTC)

Planned Acts of Kindness
As the milestone anniversary of Halo approaches, the wheels of charity keep turning. On July 2, TrueAchievements.com will host “The Ultrafun: Halo Forever! (For a day),” a 24-hour “Halo” marathon to raise money for Child’s Play. Here’s how it works: Two teams of four will romp through “Halo 3,” “ODST” and “Reach” on Legendary. As more people donate money, the teams will back out into the lobby and turn on progressively harder skulls (excluding Iron, which, honestly, I don’t blame them). If the team passes $50,000, they’ll keep playing for 30 hours straight. The event will be streamed live on the group’s USTREAM channel. Visit the team’s site for more information on how you can help out. Be sure to stay nourished, guys!(Hitmonchan 18:41:34 UTC)
