Leviathan doesn’t use his talented pencil for just art, he can also write up a good thought-provoking bit of prose, as he’s done here. He muses that Reach might be far more appreciated as the years pass by, not just in spite of its quirks, but potentia…

In other news, it’s Phoenix_9286’s birthday. Go make him feel more awkward about it. Buon compleanno, you firey-feathered thing, you!(GrimBrother One 05:13:00 UTC)

This “Grim Can’t Sleep” segment of the news continues with another ridiculously awesome custom figure from Kaidon. This time he brings us a beautiful and visceral custom Elite General, with shots taken from his newer, nicer camera to boot! Definitely g…

Thanks to VAVA Mk2 for letting us know about a fun little reference to our favorite flavor of super soldier on a CNN piece (of all things) that serves as a geeky field guide for Dragoncon goers. Pretty neat!(GrimBrother One 05:06:01 UTC)

It’s not Halo-related (except in that the developer was also behind the Halo 2 ARG I Love Bees), but it sure is Bungie-related… Crimson was released (FOR FREE) for the iPad yesterday, and it’s currently the #1 App on the iPad App Store (as well as b…

Urban Reflex noticed a gap in our Halo coverage – we didn’t have a copy of the Conversations From the Universe booklet that came with the Halo 2 Limited Edition online anywhere. So… he scanned it for us. We double-checked with both Bungie and 343, an…

Lots of cool vids are available over at Halo Waypoint. First up – Assault on Squad 45, Part 3 went up a few days ago. This amazing stop-motion Mega Bloks-based series has been fun from the start, and this episode is the best yet. I want more toys! (Th…

padraig08 pointed out a remix of Under Cover of Night, released for the Out With a Whimper project – nice!(Louis Wu 14:06:39 UTC)

Sl’askia did a bad thing with an Elite. (Well… TO an Elite. She… oh, never mind – just go look.)(Louis Wu 14:02:43 UTC)

Giant Bomb has an interview with David Ellis from Halo Fest last week – not a huge amount of new content, but it does a good job of presenting most of the salient points concisely, and the Ruby costumes that serve as a backdrop for the interview are p…

RVideo sent word of a new Reach montage from VYE, a european MLG team – huge numbers of well-choreographed sniper shots, punctuated by some pretty fun effects. Production values are quite high. Editing provided by whaTime. Check it out!(Louis Wu 14:00…

Darkphibre was at PAX, and took a LOT of photos. Check out his post for links to some REALLY cool Photosynths of the City Diorama and the Weta Warthog (this is amazing). Love ’em!(Louis Wu 22:00:21 UTC)

Dust Storm gathered a nice collection of community leaders at Halo Fest (one jerk told him he was too busy to attend, but everyone ELSE was cool) – you can hear the results over at Podtacular. HBO is ably represented by the GrimBrothers (and Laird)!(L…
