Guess what? It's your favorite day of the week! The day you get to cross your eyes, get a headache, and hopefully—if your mind is capable of working magic—see a super awesome Halo picture that wondrously enhances the illusion of depth perception. This week Mace Windex brings you a three-dimensional representation of a Monitor. To view this 3D image properly, you will need to cross your eyes until a third image appears between the two images that are present on the screen. The easiest way to do this is to view the image full size. The middle image that appears after you cross your eyes will be blurry at first but stick with it. After you get the hang of it, it will be crystal clear and the details will be sharp, vivid, and stereographic-ly gorgeous!

Someone once made the analogy to me that life, as one gets older, feels like you're watching a picket fence from a car passing by. Initially, the car is going incredibly slow and you're able to count each picket, analyze each detail at an absurdly high level. As you get older, however, the car accelerates. Now the pickets are a single and constant blur that is impossible to calculate or quantify in any real way. It's the last day in Februrary folks! The year 2011 is two months done!

While I'm not certain how valid this analogy will prove in the end, I can say for a fact that Reach's Weekly Challenges have made the time fly, with their ever-approaching deadlines always on the rise. This week is yet another beast which will require your complete attention and an unmitigated dedication of time:

ALL IN A WEEK'S WORK - 17500 cR
Kill 1500 enemies in multiplayer Matchmaking this week.

I don't care what side of Reach you were brought up on, 17,500 credits is some serious cheese. While solo play in FFA gametypes might yield more kills, working together as a team can work even better, with overall success rate of folks working together for a common goal.

Weekends and webcomics go hand in hand, and there's no better day to celebrate that relaxing ritual than on Sunday. Today's Halo-themed Weekend Webcomic—which is simply one part of an impressively gorgeous and incredible fan-made series—is brought to you by the talented artist known as Leviathan. Enjoy his Reach-inspired piece, and if you have a comic you'd like to submit for possible future inclusion, send it to bsangel[at]halowaypoint.com!

You're a busy person, and we have a thing for releasing as much Halo-related content our multi-fingered appendages can handle. That means—assuming you aren't a speed reading super-soldier—you probably missed a few stories along the way. Not only do we forgive you, but we'll also happily provide a convenient weekly wrap-up of absolutely everything we covered during the last seven days. Don't worry about saying thank you. We'd rather you spend that time soaking in the goodness that is this entertaining collection of articles. Off you go!
