RT: Today was just another day. That you'll never forget.
As most of you are undoubtedly aware, there was a HUGE iTunes announcement earlier today.

We are really excited about it and are sorry it took so long to form this partnership.
If you are unsure about downloading the album or if you have pre-ordered it from our store and want a sneak preview of what is to come, click here to preview the tracks for free.
The album is also available digitally on Amazon and will be on Zune soonish.

You Made a Map?
It’s time for our first ever Customs and Creations show for Halo: Reach. All those long hours you have put into making a Forge Map and painstakingly tweaking a suitable gametype to go with it can now show off their stuff on the show. If you don’t know how this works, it’s quite simple. Send us a e-mail using the “Big Green Button” and give us a short description of your map and custom settings for gametypes. Also provide links so we can try them out and give them to others. Get your submissions in quick though: we may be recording as early as Friday.

This is the Saddest Day in the World
Morpheus believes that there will never be another Fiesta playlist… ever. (Seems pretty unlikely to me, but maybe he knows something I don’t.) Regardless of whether he’s right or not, the tribute he made for Fiesta is touching. (The use of Metalocalypse music is interesting…)(Louis Wu 21:01:17 UTC)

AH: Monday Mayhem!
So today’s been a bit of an overload on news and announcements. From Fable III’s Understone DLC coming November 23rd for 400 MSP, the mobile hit game Angry Birds coming to XBLA and PSN, and even two new Transformers games coming out in the next couple of years. But this sort of stuff is what AHWU is for, and since it is Monday you’ll be getting your healthy dose within a few hours.
What you can’t be shown on AHWU, is a trailer for completely over the top, first person shooter action from Epic, Bulletstorm‘s latest trailer, “Kill with Skill”!

Cryptum, signed by the author
Jason Davies let us know that The Signed Page (a site devoted to helping fans get books signed by their authors) is selling preorders of Halo Cryptum, signed by Greg Bear (personalized, if you want it). They’re charging cover price on the book – yes, you can buy it for less, but it’s not like they’re making a fortune on this. If you’d rather your copy of Cryptum had a personalized message from Greg Bear… here’s your chance.(Louis Wu 13:07:29 UTC)

The History of Halo
In honor of Halo’s 9th birthday, apparently, IGN released a History of Halo article yesterday (thanks, Tashi0106). Lots of these have been done over the years – but this one’s still worth reading. Lots of little-known tidbits in there. (Some of it might be speculation.) Good read, overall!(Louis Wu 13:01:02 UTC)
