Gametrailers Game of the Year Awards continue - Halo takes Best First Person Shooter from a field that included Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, Metroid Prime 3, and The Orange Box. Thanks, Mattus. (Louis Wu 21:51:12 UTC) (permalink)
A true Couch Potato
Some people might look at a recently-posted video from FooFoo and wonder why... others will see the value in sofa launching without any prompting. Which group are you in? (Louis Wu 21:49:03 UTC) (permalink)
Believe - up for Flash Site of the Year
A representative from AKQA, the agency behind the IRIS ARG and the Halo 3 Believe ads, stopped by our forum to point out that the Believe website is up for Flash Website of the Year from the Favorite Website Awards. Go help 'em win! (He also wanted to thank the community for its involvement in the games - so pat yourselves on the back!) (Louis Wu 21:46:44 UTC) (permalink)
The Riot 80
Sigafoos sent word of The Riot 80, an hour-long discussion of their Community Aawards nominations. There's still a little community news, but the focus is on the awards. Go listen!

Gamespot disses Halo 3
Avi Levin let us know that Gamespot has posted their Editor's Choices for their Game of the Year Awards, and Halo didn't win anything it was nominated for. (That includes Multiplayer, Shooter, 360 Game, and GotY, as well as the Bungie Microsoft split for Biggest News.) Ouch! (Louis Wu 21:40:05 UTC) (permalink)
Luck is Taken Halo 3 Montage
Z let us know about a Halo 3 gameplay montage from Luck is Taken - it's about seven and a half minutes long, and weighs in at 171 mb. Plenty of sticks and snipes - but lots of other weapons too. Take a look. (Louis Wu 21:30:55 UTC) (permalink)
Recon Armor - worth stealing accounts for
A pro gamer who was awarded Recon armor by Bungie for a pretty cool suicide he filmed has had his account stolen by a jerk who wanted the armor. The story on Joystiq suggests his account was 'hacked', but if you read the thread on Team vBi's forum, it becomes clear that the account was stolen by someone who called up Xbox Customer Support and somehow convinced the person on the other end of the phone that the account belonged to him, and that certain info needed changing. Having had my own personal run-ins with tech support over there, I find this totally believable - and I'm curious to see how this turns out. Hopefully, the upshot will be better phone security for Xbox Live accounts down the road. (Louis Wu 21:24:37 UTC) (permalink)
Epic Machinima Trailer
AnTi PRO, from Arm The Flag, let us knwo about a trailer for their upcoming movie, 'Epic Machinima'. I'ts a spoof of every overdone idea in machinima, all in one place. You can find download links (and comment on the project) in this HaloGrid thread. (Louis Wu 21:14:55 UTC) (permalink)
Trolling the web, so you don't have to
Hawty McBloggy has a whole bunch of goodies to show you; starting off, there's a Master Chief helmet created in Forge. (I thought I'd seen this before - but I can't find it in our news.) Then, she mentions an auction for an item she does NOT want you bidding on - because she wants it. Finally, she points out an auction for a custom Halo 3 Guitar Hero III for the 360. Nice!
