Steven Carson noticed a familiar-looking face in a collection of Iranian video games… check out Kheibar Battle! (Louis Wu 16:20:36 UTC)

Leviathan has posted a new Adjunct piece for A Fistful of Arrows – it’s a bio of the Insurrectionist Eliza Ingrid, and it provides quite a bit of backstory for this enigmatic character. Beautiful! Go check it out.(Louis Wu 15:59:37 UTC)

One thing that’s really cool about live performances from favorite artists is that fans sometimes jump right on the new content. Daemon Productions (the folks behind the recent Legends: Cielo Negro machinima series) grabbed the Pete Stacker/Tim Dadabo …

Dani posted a new article at Forward Unto Dawn – Reclamation: Dawn looks at the concept art from Halo 4 (most of it from the trailer shown at Halo Fest, but at least one other bit found on the show floor), and speculates about what it all might mean. …

Halo Base’s Oliver Stopienski was at Halo Fest last week, and he spent quite a bit of time collecting photos, short video interviews, and impressions. If you don’t read German, the impressions might be a stretch – but a picture is worth a thousand word…

According to Punch Jump, preorders for Halo Anniversary are climbing – this week, it’s #7 in the best-selling preorders list at Gamestop. (How appropriate!) Gamestop preorders get Master Chief Avatar armor for your XBL avatar, as well as the Grunt Fun…

There’s a new Arby ‘n’ the Chief: Hypermail episode – Silly Billies has Chief trying hard not to make mom jokes, while the Arbiter dances. Thanks, robofin117.(Louis Wu 21:12:24 UTC)

Chris101b spent most of Halo Fest with a camera (well, his phone) welded to his hand. Go see the 26-minute boiliing-down of Day 1.(Louis Wu 20:32:16 UTC)

DaFrontlineTrooper (a prolific propmaker) put up a film showing off all of his Halo weapons (along with Mass Effect props and Star Wars props). Amazing! Thanks, robofin117.(Louis Wu 20:31:17 UTC)

Jesse Snyder, the Campaign Lead Designer for Halo 4, put up a blog post about how difficulty the secrecy surrounding the game has been. Pretty funny read! Thanks, Dani.(Louis Wu 20:30:45 UTC)

You’ll definitely want to head over to Halo Waypoint today and check out the new Halo Fest ViDoc, recapping a glorious weekend of Halo-celebration. The HBO contingent in particular can be found all throughout the video, which makes it even cooler. Whet…

HBO Lover & Fighter Hedgemony let us know about something very cool. While not directly Halo-related, it is very much HBO Family-related, and well worth highlighting. Our very own Beckx recently had his first published piece of scifi literature publish…

You should definitely check out Episode 13 of Stewie2552’s Halo Reach Fails & Laughs series. I laughed out loud more than once, which Mrs. One was not particularly happy about at 2am. However, you should watch it anyway! Thanks for letting us know, Ste…

Hezekiah brought to our forum’s attention the existence of Episode 50 of Achievement Hunter’s awesome Fails of the Weak series. You can find it both on the AH website or on YouTube. When I thought about it, it also brings up the existence of Fails of…

Rizla found a pretty cool Elite-focused montage that’s a really fun watch. It’s a decent time sink for a gameplay montage, clocking in at over 6 minutes, but moves along rather well thanks to a combination of stellar multikills and funny moments. Go an…

Do you like the UNSC Hornet? Do you like having your paper stay the heck where you want it? Then you should definitely check out what Mid7night is proposing. Details are in his post, but needless to say, you could find yourself the owner of the coole…

SIX min WHISTLE was the first I saw (which doesn’t necessarily mean anything) on our forum to notice the new Halo Fest t-shirt for your Xbox Avatar available on the Marketplace. I might just have to grab one so that my virtual Grim matches what I’m wea…
