Summer Mythic Recon Challenge – Your Last Shot
For nine weeks, Tyrant ran the Summer Mythic Recon Challenge; you were exhorted to complete each level of Halo 3 on Mythic difficulty (solo,legendary, all skulls on). Each week, one contestant won Recon armor to wear with pride in multiplayer. This week, each contestant who completed all nine levels is eligible for one more shot at Recon – instructions on how to enter (if you’re eligible) are in the Bungie.net newspost. Swing by and read it – and then get your list together!(Louis Wu 20:32:52 UTC)

BRs up, pinkies out!
HC Redemption wrote up a new review of the HaloScreenshots.com service – swing by HaloCharts to read it. It does a great job of pointing out the reasons you might want to avail yourself of this service – and then gives you a pretty straightforward set of instructions for doing just that. Thanks to urk for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 20:25:49 UTC)

Love the Marathon art.
Kotaku took a cool pic of Paul Bertone’s desk – if you want to play Halo 3: ODST’s campaign with ZERO spoilers, don’t look at this, but if you’re curious about the mapping of encounters, check out the layout behind his desk! Thanks, Eddy 071.(Louis Wu 19:53:11 UTC)

I need a ring.
Britain’s Echo has a story about a Halo-themed wedding in Southend-on-Sea, outside of London. Red and blue flags, a map-based cake, and the game’s logo embroidered on the bride’s dress were some of the touches. Nice! Thanks, urk.(Louis Wu 17:32:17 UTC)

Monday Movie Madness
New movies, from the BungLog™:- The Lucky Twenty Episode 1 is a montage of clips put together by FortNight Productions – highs and lows of lucky plays from Matchmaking, all narrated. There’ll be a new one every two weeks.
- Funny Halo 3 Productions put together a splatter montage, set to the 1812 Overture.
- Whifffproductions are back with more from Lyle – this time, Lyle answers his fanmail. I think Strongbad still holds the fanmail title… but this was fun.
Go watch!(Louis Wu 17:31:16 UTC)

RT: RT Member Photo Contest: Win it now!
—
by
After so many weeks of producing content for you guys, we’re switching things up. Hoping to see as many of you as possible participate in a photo pose contest to win this:
We’re looking for members to post a photo of themselves doing their best Grifball pose with whatever ball in whatever location they want. Be in a barn, dumpster, holding a water balloon or a human embryo. Whatever you want. The winner gets a yet to be released Grifball action figure and t-shirt. Have fun, be creative. Photos will be judged by no discernible criteria what so ever. The first one to have one of us say, “holy shit, that’s awesome” wins. Go to the official group and embed your photo on the contest’s news post. The winner will be announced next sunday. To start us off, I went to Caleb (at grifball.com) the head of the Official Grifball league, to give everyone a guide on what to do. As a heads up, the official grifball league registration starts September 9th.

Halo 3: ODST content from IGN, AusGamers
A bunch of new ODST stuff since the last update… IGN has released three videos you might want to watch. The Aussie Sneak Peek Event is a few minutes long, and includes footage recorded at the Sydney press event held a week or so ago. There’s a 5-minute interview with Curtis Creamer, recorded at the same event. And there’s a video preview of the ‘Adversarial Maps’ – the non-Firefight/non-Campaign maps we’ll be seeing on September 22 (Heretic, Citadel, and Longshore). Rather than just plain gameplay, this vid attempts to point out the key points of the new maps. Finally, AusGamers has an 8-minute video with Curtis Creamer (available as a transcript, if you’d rather process it as text), and there’s an in-depth preview of the release itself. Swing by both sites, and check out all the new goodies!(Louis Wu 19:25:47 UTC)

ODST O(D)ST from ODST
Marty O’Donnell has a Twitter account. Amazing, huh? Reading it can teach you cool stuff… like the fact that the Halo 3: ODST Official Sountrack, coming from O’Donnell and Salvatori, will be available for purchase the same day as the game itself (September 22). Thanks, LoneRanger 2.5 (and SoundEffect and ElusiveEagle519 for the headline expansion).(Louis Wu 19:23:42 UTC)
