Bad Cyborg is now local
August 4th, 2020
For years (well, decades - we started reporting on his megabattle obsession in early 2004), rockslider has been exploring the depths of the original Halo physics, and reporting his results. There are literally hundreds of videos in his collection, and the level of his commitment has been breathtaking. Recently, however, he announced that he was moving on from Halo, and that he was going to let the badcyborg.net domain expire. We offered a local archive, and he took us up on the offer - so this amazing collection of videos, started before Halo 3: ODST launched, continues to be available to you. Go explore!

Grim gets canonized in MCC Reach, and so does AFoA
March 31st, 2020
Heh, this is a nifty easter egg. In Halo: Reach, many developers got their names assigned to troopers who would follow you around in the levels. The MCC release added a few names, our hometown boy Grimbrother One among them. But CIA391 points out, by extension that makes this little bit from Levi's A Fistful of Arrows possibly legitimate. Head-canon confirmed!
(fuchsdh 23:37:08 +0000)@GrimBrotherOne now. THIS WAS SNEAKY. You snuck in a A Fistful of Arrows ref in your own easter egg in MCC Reach. xD Like it can't of been a mere coincidence that the GRIM in MCC Reach has the same rank as the AFOR GRIM xD Finder @LairdSVF pic.twitter.com/7hhpmCO62t
