Missing this Sparkast would be a Travissty
I thought this might be worthy enough of its own newspost so I’m, well, making a newspost. Hidden in the lovingly-crafted Halo Bulletin that went live around 7 minutes ago was the announcement that there was also a brand new Halo Sparkast, featuring th…

Hedgemony: 117 Images Over 5 Days (Day Three)
It’s Day Three of Hedgemony’s 117 Images over 5 Days project… and some of my favorite pictures so far are included. “Collapsing Elevator” is spectacular… while “Falling Glass” reminds me of the detail Bungie’s added to these games. The entire batc…

Fire Team Zulu: Light Fuse Run Away
Fire Team Zulu is back – FyreWulff has a challenge for you on New Alexandria; can you make the run with no human guns? (This includes the turret on your Falcon.) Oh, yeah… and you’ve only got 30 minutes. Sounds like fun! Go try.(Louis Wu 15:13:21 UTC)

Forky Showdown

Chicks really dig this stuff too.
Over at NeoGAF, Ramirez pointed out a recent episode of Pawn Stars, a show about a pawn shop (and what comes in) – starting at 3 minutes in to this video, a guy negotiates the sale of his homemade Halo armor. The girlfriend’s input is priceless.(Louis…

Apparently, some DLC coming for Duke Nukem Forever takes shots at other shooters – including Halo. (Sounds like Sandbox is a parody of Blood Gulch, though I can’t find any pictures yet.) Thanks, Elzarthebam.(Louis Wu 14:50:07 UTC)

Familiar Feelings
Red vs Blue Season 9 Episode 6 is now live – Caboose changes his name, Sarge decides he doesn’t like feelings, and Church yells at the appliances. In other words… business as usual. Go watch!(Louis Wu 15:53:11 UTC)

Third Person Mythic – Nightfall (Quad-Mythic)
The Tyrant continues with his newest series, Third Person Mythic; once again, he’s releasing a Nightfall run, but this time, it’s Quad-Mythic. No cutscenes – just four-player Mythic gameplay madness. Lots of tips built into the commentary – go give it…

Over at NeoGAF, Blinding pointed out a short video from SillyGoose – make sure your speakers aren’t set too loud before playing this (it starts with a scream), but the editing is pretty wild. (SEC stands for SingleEditedClip.) (Louis Wu 11:42:42 UTC)

Time out of mind – a little late
robbert014 was sad that a montage he posted (from his buddy Nollemaster, though it contains footage of his own gameplay, among others) back in September 2010 never got any love – we dropped the ball, so we’re picking it up here. It’s actually got some…
