Over at NeoGAF, dc89 was the first to point out ‘Till I Get There‘, a montage from SaLaYa. It’s not like other montages you’ve watched; SaLaYa does some amazing trick-jumping within Matchmaking, and makes plays that will simply drop your jaw. RVideo pointed out the Halo3Forum link – if you want to download a 190mb, 480p version of the film, this is where you should go.(Louis Wu 14:41:28 UTC)

ChrisTheeCrappy pointed out a nearly information-free post at IGN – the one bit it DOES have is a comment from Frank that there’s a reason for the changes in Master Chief’s behaviors in the Halo 4 trailer. (I’m not sure what that actually means – but IGN has interpreted it to mean that his personality has changed. Umm…) =(Louis Wu 14:40:50 UTC)

ZZoMBiE13 doesn’t often point out art he finds – but he particularly liked this Forerunner study he ran across on DeviantART. I’ll back him up on that, even though I don’t have his eye; it’s really cool! (Louis Wu 14:29:19 UTC)

PyroSporker16 told us about an updated wallpaper from Sam Spratt – the originals were released last September, but this Tumblr post has a link to a newly-updated version. Check it out – grab yourself the 1080p version! (Louis Wu 14:23:20 UTC)

FyreWulff reminded us that today’s the day for his Bungiedayathon 2011 – and in addition to the original goodies, there’s one new potential prize you can lay your hands on. All donations $25 and up are entered into a drawing for a ZZoMBiE13 commission – you could win a piece of artwork to your own specifications, done by ZZoMBiE13! Nice. (He ran into some trouble with Oni, and the streaming thereof – so the streaming moved forward to 9am CST (20 minutes before the writing of this post) – go watch!) (Louis Wu 14:20:29 UTC)

Wrapping up our E3 coverage, we talk about the remaining press conferences with particular attention to the latest console: the WiiU. We touch a little more on the future of Halo with 343i as well. Enjoy

So Grim pointed out the beginning of the B.net festivities… but they’re coming so fast and furious that without a roadmap, you might get lost.

• He’s already linked to the Rooster-Teeth-created trailer explaining how anyone with a Bungie.net profile can unlock blue flames for their in-game armor – but if you didn’t watch it, you should.
• You’ve been able to unlock those flames for almost a week, if you have an iOS device… but now you can do it right from the Bungie.net front page.
• The Bungie Store has been restocked in honor of the celebration – there are limited-run (VERY limited-run) prints of some really cool artwork and shirts, but the big draw will be the Bag O’ Swag. The first batch of 500 is already sold out – but there may be more coming. The contents will vary from bag to bag (and you won’t know what’s in ANY of them unless you or a friend buys one). They run $30… but what’s inside might be worth much, much more. Keep an eye on the page to make sure you don’t miss another chance!
• The Bungie vs the World Steaktacular has been written up – swing by to see how you can get a chance to have Bungie mail you steak. Real steak.
• Some super-cool auctions are running on eBay right now – all proceeds will go to Child’s Play, and you’ll end up with some amazing concept art, framed and placarded. So far there are 12 items up – some have bids, some don’t, all end in a week. Check out the artwork – Master Chief Helmet, Covenant Bus, Jackals, Covenant Shadow, Space Elevator, Pillar of Autumn, Quarantine Zone, In Amber Clad, Pillar of Autumn, and an original Penny Arcade “Jim Bean” comic strip. Also, check out the holdable goodies: an original Weta UNSC Battle Rifle and some Weta Upper-Body armor (I can’t find a link for this yet). Amazing collection of stuff!
• Check out this link for the Bungie Foundation to learn more about the iPads for Kids program.

Is this enough to start with? If it’s not… you’re greedy.(Louis Wu 20:36:28 UTC)

Announcements like these are almost bittersweet, but with the emphasis certainly more on the “sweet”. If you are a Bungie fan (otherwise, why are you here again?), you might want to check out Bungie.net for the next few days, as the Bungie Day celebrations are beginning to kick off in earnest. Make sure you check in often, as it’s only going to get better.(GrimBrother One 18:12:24 UTC)

The candles burn out for you; I am free.

HaLo2FrEeEk has set up the Halo: Reach Challenge Initiative – it’s designed to let anyone (with a Twitter account) offer suggestions about the daily and weekly challenges. Go explore!(Louis Wu 13:11:29 UTC)

Hedgemony took an artistic look back at Halo 3’s Master Chief – he can make even SMGs look powerful!(Louis Wu 13:02:32 UTC)

hezekiah noticed that the latest Achievement HORSE -er, PIG – went live last night (links in the forum post); Jack and Geoff whipped through a 3-letter contest in record time. Hard to tell a lot about the maps this time…(Louis Wu 12:58:49 UTC)

This week’s Halo Bulletin from bs angel and the fine folks at 343 Industries should be music to the ears of any Halo fan. Go and check it out! (It’s also available in our Halo Bulletin Archive, if you’re having trouble getting the bottom portion of the original to display.)(GrimBrother One 00:07:20 UTC)

TSquared talked to MLG’s Shockwave about the return of the original Str8 Rippin roster – TSquared, Legit, Neighbor and ElamiteWarrior. If they can win a tournament on the MLG Pro Tour, they’ll be the first team to win games in Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo: Reach with the same lineup. Pretty interesting! Thanks to Account Attempt #4 for posting this on GAF.(Louis Wu 22:17:23 UTC)
