Year: 2011

This is… one of the most bizarre things I’ve sen this week – but it’s pretty awesome. Nathan Fillion and Clare Grant did a reading from a Halo script (well, SORT of a Halo script) at the Nerdmelt Theater (the basement of Meltdown Comics) in LA a coup…

Shadow8P stopped by with a new Windows-based app – it’s like a mini-browser that looks only at B.net’s stats pages. (If you follow a link that leaves Bungie.net, it opens in your regular browser.) A convenient way to look up an opposing team (of four)…

HC Redemption sent word of Sticktoberfest, a new challenge/contest over at HaloChallenges. You register your gamertag with them, and then you see how many sticks you can get in Matchmaking during the month of October (multiplayer only). Registration is…

Wow – if you swing by spawn.com, you can see a TON of new figures that will be coming out with McFarlane’s Reach Series 5, due in November. Some of them are pretty amazing! Thanks, Imrane-117, for letting us know.(Louis Wu 14:26:49 UTC)

Tiny stopped by to inform folks about a Solo Firefight Score Attack Beat the Score event to raise money for breast cancer research, being held by the folks who run the FLAG Tournament. They’ve raised $22,000 so far this year, and are hoping to up that …

Sidd123456 told us about a teaser trailer for Suicidal Heroes: Episode 3 (Desert Rose). I was pretty impressed! Check it out. (Louis Wu 14:23:24 UTC)

7daywalk was inspired by the Halo 4 reveal to put together this tribute to the game – go check it out! (Louis Wu 14:21:57 UTC)

robofin117 pointed out Another Day on the Job – I found it a mix of interesting effects and stilted action. Judge for yourself!(Louis Wu 14:21:11 UTC)

Daniel ‘Tyrant’ Morris let us know that he’s opened his own website – links to all of his guides can now be found in one place. Swing by and explore!(Louis Wu 19:06:25 UTC)

There’s a new Arby ‘n’ the Chief short – Jon’s run out of steam. Don’t ever let Chief into your house when you’re unconscious… thanks, robofin117.(Louis Wu 18:21:03 UTC)

bryan newman posted a bunch of scanned sketches – take a look!(Louis Wu 18:14:40 UTC)

Some good video content (and more) over at Halo Waypoint today. Puckett’s Picks 4 is another Final Boss/Warriors matchup from MLG Dallas – always amazing to watch gameplay at this level. If MLG CTF action isn’t your bag, maybe you’ll enjoy Grifball Hig…

Okay, this is some weird stuff. Edge sent word of a video from the HaloSigs and HaloTracker communities – it’s the Top 10 Sigs of September. What makes this fascinating is that all of these were created within Halo Reach’s Forge. You can watch some spe…

Dust Storm let us know that Podtacular 264 is now live – Goosechecka and Pup from GrifballHub join Rukizzel from the Waypoint forums to discuss communities – go listen! (Louis Wu 17:47:19 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, Hypertrooper pointed out a talk at the New York Comic Con in a couple of weeks – bs angel, Dan Ayoub and Kevin Grace will be discussing Halo Anniversary, and Halo in general. Are you gonna be there? (Louis Wu 17:29:41 UTC)

72 Pins is offering some vintage art attached to classic NES cartridges (they still work!) – $20 buys you an 8-bit Master Chief. Pretty cool! Thanks, Beckx. (Louis Wu 17:26:32 UTC)

Dragonclaws continues her feminist analysis of Halo fiction – the latest subject is the I Love Bees project. Go watch! (Louis Wu 17:11:54 UTC)

BBC has an interesting story about what could very well be the precursor of the Superintendent. Fascinating! Thanks to several tipsters – looks like Skywalker DSP was first. (Louis Wu 17:09:26 UTC)

Achievement Hunter’s Fails of the Weak 54 is live – I think the moral is ‘don’t betray’. Fun! Thanks, Sqorck. (Also at AH.com – thanks, hezekiah.)(Louis Wu 17:05:10 UTC)
