Monks and some other stuff.

I love our community. Check out this contest from Myyke – he’s looking for cool screenshots of ODSTs (either in-game or manipulated, just like Bungie’s All-Stars rules). He’ll pick his favorite 7 entries, and award each one a valid serial number from a stack of Italian Halo PC copies he’s got. What does this get you? It gets you a Halo nameplate on Bungie.net. He’ll be running this contest for 3 weeks, total; you’ll have to come back next week to see what the criteria for the next 7 winners are. Myyke – you rock.(Louis Wu 16:09:59 UTC)

Couple of panos that do a nice job of characterizing Brutes… thanks, Hedge! (Louis Wu 14:31:10 UTC)

Hope Unto Dawn wants to play Reach with you – check this post from xExOp90x for details.(Louis Wu 14:30:40 UTC)

I meant to put this up Monday: Four members of The Yorker put together their list of the top 10 gaming Easter eggs. Our favorite food nipple Grunt from Halo: CE made the cut, along with an infamous glitch from Pokemon Red/Blue and Google Earth.(Hitmonchan107 04:52:57 UTC)

For the measly sum of $1,350, you can own the Mark V Spartan armor used in “Halo: Faith.” And there’s free shipping! (Hitmonchan107 04:49:13 UTC)

Thanks to all of your hard work, GrifballHub’s missing bombs have been recovered. For their dedication and perseverance, six soldiers have been given Grifball armor and accessories (presumably of the avatar variety). Congrats to the winners! I might take note of this for future contests…(Hitmonchan107 04:29:03 UTC)

In Episode 20, Anoj put together the top 10 greatest moments from September until now. No. 2 on the list is still one of my favorite Reach clips yet. Just a reminder: Anoj is accepting submissions for the next three episodes, “Unusual Kills (Episode 21),” “Exterminations (22)” and “Epic Fails (23).” (Hitmonchan107 04:19:21 UTC)

What’s up folks. You asked for more -alities, so I provide you with them! Below are all of the Babalities in Mortal Kombat, split up across three videos. Enjoy!

Pretty fun visualization of The Meta, from Luke McKay today! (I’m not sure those rings would feel really great under a helmet, though…)(Louis Wu 20:18:23 UTC)

Carver noticed that io9’s got a piece on their choices for the 10 Greatest Handguns in All of Science Fiction and Fantasy. I’m sort of surprised by the Halo product that made it in… but I can’t say it doesn’t fit.(Louis Wu 18:55:03 UTC)

Yes, finally it has happened. Book 4 of Rooster Teeth comics is now on ibooks! It’s sleek and a great digital adaptation of the real book. It’s also served up with author and/or cast commentaries for every comic! We were able to custom make the sample this time so you really get a feel of the book before you download it. Just search “Rooster Teeth” on iBooks and it will pop up!

There has been a lot of requests for android support. The initial tests have been… not great. The way we design the ebook provides for the best user experience but that method is not exactly typical for ebook readers. We have had good luck with iBooks with how it interprets our ebooks. We will continue to work on the issue. If you would like to be a beta-tester, please message me. Thanks!

Good morning folks. We’ve got a ton of Portal 2 videos for you today.

First up is “Ship Overboard” which links Half-Life 2: Episode 2 to Portal 2. We need more 2s in that previous sentence.

Up next get to watch Geoff fling himself around a test chamber trying to grab the “Overclocker” achievement.

And last up is the “Preservation of Mass” achievement. You have to be sneaky for this one.

Happy Tuesday everyone ! Why don’t you stop what your doing right now, and join Fragger and myself on AHTV. We will be streaming from now till at least midnight. So join in on the shenanigans !

Click here to join !

(While you’re at it, you should also join the official AHTV group found Here)

Forge Spotlight Episode 5 is highlighted on Bungie.net’s Comm Chatter today – 4 cool community-created maps you might want to play with your buds. In a similar vein, you can also watch Greenskull’s Forgefest 3 – fewer maps, but longer tests (with more players). Folks who’d rather watch 5 minutes of someone ELSE playing a map before they download it will like the second one, folks who just want recommendations of stuff to grab will like the first. Check ’em!(Louis Wu 17:21:11 UTC)
