The ‘Cooler Tagline’ contest started by John_117 yesterday has already concluded – looks like we were victorious! That was the fastest Kotobukiya statue we’ve ever won. Now I have to go back through my mail – I seem to recall getting some cool contest ideas not too long ago…(Louis Wu 17:04:44 UTC)

RandomSauce let us know that the sixth installment of Halo 3 Mythbusters is now available at YouTube. Some of these are REALLY cool. A few are just novelties, or demonstrations of oversights in Halo 3 programming… but others have serious potential in competitive gameplay. I’ve got to try out the magnetic equipment trick!(Louis Wu 16:44:10 UTC)

jake108 let us know about Teabag Prevention #27 – tips to keep you from sucking on Foundry. Only read this if you’re on my team, okay?(Louis Wu 16:37:50 UTC)

The fourth episode of DigitalPh33r’s Hard Justice series is now online – it’s hard to be a cop in a town that has different priorities than you do. THanks, AvatarAang.(Louis Wu 16:30:24 UTC)

SonGoharotto has had a hard time finding a group to do the Annual achievement with – but yesterday, he managed it… and took some great pictures. Go enjoy his victory with him!(Louis Wu 16:30:05 UTC)

Last week, Cinema Blend put up an editorial discussing how Halo 3 was killing console multiplayer. There was some discussion on our forum, and a sizeable rebuttal from Narcogen, at Rampancy.net – but I managed to miss a counter-editorial at Cinema Blend itself. (After reading it, I’m not sure that was such a bad thing; the argument boils down to, basically, “multiplayer in most games sucks, and gamers are lazy” – neither of which are really decent arguments.) However, it’s there, and I’m sorry I missed it.(Louis Wu 16:29:32 UTC)

In the weird-but-cool category: John_117 stopped by to point out a thread he’s kicked off on Bungie.net (he’s known as Helveck over there). He wants to know which site, Bungie.net or HBO, has the ‘more comical’ title lines. (You know, those lines that show up in the title bar of your browser; look up to the top of this window to see the currently-loaded HBO one.) If he gets enough votes, he’s going to give away a very generous prize – a signed (by him) Kotobukiya Master Chief statue. (I don’t know if Bungie would even accept something like this – but if he gives it to us, we’d figure out a contest to give it away with.) Go vote!(Louis Wu 21:06:11 UTC)

Only a couple of days remain to vote for your favorite pumpkins in our Guilt O’ Lantern contest… if you haven’t voted yet, take this opportunity to do so! I’m going to close down the voting at Midnight, EST, Sunday night – you’ve got about 37 hours. Make sure your voice is heard!(Louis Wu 15:56:44 UTC)

Hawty McBloggy dug up a custom-painted pink Elite figure on eBay – proceeds go to the American Breast Cancer Foundation. Auction ends in just under a week… go see!(Louis Wu 15:54:49 UTC)

InnerRayg ntoiced that a new licensed product is now on the market – over at Gamernode, there’s word of a Microsoft-approved full-sized Master Chief helmet, selling for $115. No word on who makes these.(Louis Wu 15:49:21 UTC)

The Bungie Weekly Update is now live – and along with a TINY bit of information about Halo 3: Recon, there are also a bunch of user-asked questions, answered. Well, sort of answered. Go read! (As usual, you’re welcome to use our Weekly Update Archive.)(Louis Wu 01:13:57 UTC)

I saw new content on Bungie.net – and thought it might be the weekly update. Nope – just a really convoluted suicide. Go watch!(Louis Wu 00:35:46 UTC)
