(You WILL lose the Challenges box in the top right if you install the Stylish script – just a warning.)

Hexlord posted four amazing photos (1 | 2 | 3 | 4) of a cosplayer in his custom-made Mark VI armor and weapons on deviantART. Did I use the correct armor this time, Grim? :^) Great stuff, Hexlord!(Hitmonchan107 06:37:56 UTC)

As mentioned on the latest Running Riot Podcast, David Ellis, Alison Stroll and Jessica Shea (bsangel) will be showing off some motion comic stuff at RvB CanWest 2011 this weekend in Vancouver, BC. If you’re going, be sure to take plenty of pictures for me!(Hitmonchan107 06:21:40 UTC)

If you missed David Ellis (and, to a lesser degree, me) on The Running Riot Podcast, here’s the archived episode. I have nothing but great things to say about him. And remember, Ellis: Sword plus Sniper Rifle equals an unbeatable combination. (Hitmonchan107 04:33:31 UTC)

SFX-360 put out a pretty neat article that poses the question: What If Microsoft Never Had Halo? It raises some interesting points to think about in the grand scheme of things.

Crikey, it’s another explosion of Portal 2 videos from the community today, as well as a little game called Minecraft.

BioHRay and Nand team up in the name of science to give us “Portal Conservation Society” and “Party of Three” guides in Portal 2.
Proving to be more likeable than a Turret, BioHRay also joins companion FlapNasty3 to show us their guide for the “Smash TV” achievement in Portal 2.
ShoveImage makes us feel a little neglected with the “Empty Gesture” achievement in Portal 2.
Our last Portal 2 community guide for today comes from Ollie123456, who brings us the “Ship Overboard” achievement guide.
Finally, L0rdVex shows us the new achievements “Getting Wood” and “Benchmaker” in Minecraft.

Last week, I held a contest on my Twitter account (shameless plug) for a Mark V Spartan helmet (It’s actually a Mark VI, but who’s counting? 😉 -Grim), and Hyokin was the lucky winner. Instead of keeping it for himself, he decided to be charitable and hold a contest for it. All you need to do is draw, take a screenshot or Photoshop a picture of a purple Spartan rocking the EVA helmet. Also, I completely misinformed him about the helmet. It’s for both male and female avatars. For some reason I thought he was talking about the Spartan armor. Sorry about that, mate! (Hitmonchan107 20:04:32 UTC)
