IGN has released an official trailer for Halo Fest (and their coverage of it), taking place next week at PAX. Watch it and get pumped up! Thanks, DEEP NNN. (Louis Wu 13:13:44 UTC)

NsU Soldier pointed out the newest Halo Teach, a series of videos where Master Chief, in a blazer and bow-tie, summarizes famous battles in history. This new episode describes The Great Emu War, an engagement fought by an Australian major against… a…

MSNBC’s In-Game has an interesting article from a British psychologist who explains why we have so much fun playing Halo games. (You probably know this already – but it’s a nice summary, and contains some great quotes.) Thanks, William Spurgeon.(Louis…

Halo Waypoint has Episode 9 of the MLG Reach Top Ten series – and some of these plays are jaw-dropping. (The number 1 spot, for example, makes me wonder if I ever want to even ENTER the MLG playlist.) Go watch.(Louis Wu 17:01:13 UTC)

RedSpades sent word that Uni-BB.org will be hosting a Friday Night Custom Games LIVE (to be simultaneously broadcast on Twitch.tv) – you can read more about it on their site. They’ll be playing Reach this week. Swing by and join in! (Louis Wu 15:54:41…

ElzarTheBam found a monster (21 minute) Halo PC montage on YouTube, released today. I had so much fun with this game, back in the day… but watching this vid doesn’t make me want to step away from Reach. See if you disagree!(Louis Wu 15:54:17 UTC)

Are you going to PAX next week? At least 34 HBO denizens will be there, as well. Would you be interested in meeting up with some of them? I’ve been asked a few times to figure out a way to connect everyone – but life’s been insane. Avateur asked again…

Leviathan doesn’t think he’s going to be able to finish A Fistful of Arrows before he leaves for PAX next week – so he’s releasing four more pages today, to soften the blow of the cliffhanger he’s leaving us with. (Read his post for full details.) Tha…

NeoGAF’s wwm0nkey found a ‘Director’s Cut’ of the Halo 4 Announce trailer – it’s very similar to what was released, except for two things: the music, and the last couple of seconds. Interesting! (He’s also uploaded it to YouTube if you don’t want to w…

IGN’s posted a full flythrough of Battle Canyon, the re-imagining of Battle Creek/Beaver Creek that’s included with Halo: Anniversary. 343’s David Ellis takes you through the map, showing off the new bits (and explaining what does, and doesn’t change)…

Leviathan found a couple of cool DeviantART bits you might want to check out – Soupy Assassin created a pretty interesting custom wallpaper, and RoxyRoo put up some concept art for Dawn Under Heaven, an upcoming live action fan film. Go see! (Louis Wu…

DWT Productions hit their 5 year anniversary a couple of days ago – and to celebrate, they’ve put together a new YouTube channel, released a full game run of Halo 2 SLASO (segmented) by Mr Monopoli, and compiled a 3 minute montage of some of their fav…

Another new Halo: Reach multuplayer map was unvield this week at GamesCon and this one has been redone a few times. You might remember it as battle creek or one of the maps Podtacular played Bungie in long ago in that … Continue reading →

Stewie2552 put together a comparison of the Warthog and a modern-day Humvee. Pretty cool work!(Louis Wu 19:04:55 UTC)

The latest Achievement HORSE is actually another PIG – and it has Rooster Teeth’s Michael playing against a Make-a-Wish visitor to the office. Great match! Thanks, mattroe. (Louis Wu 19:02:57 UTC)

TAK whipped up a music video set to Breaking Benjamin’s Lights Out – some pretty interesting clip choices!(Louis Wu 19:00:55 UTC)

During Gamescom yesterday, 343 Industries gave a presentation which showed off 343 Guilty Spark, the campaign level from Halo Anniversary. They also showed off the first Terminal from the game. You can download a high-quality 720p version of the prese…

Better late than never… only works for podcasts. Continue reading →

Looks like the guys over at 343 industries are getting a little sneaky on us. Instead of confirming what they will be adding and subtracting in the upcoming Title Update to Halo: Reach they’ve been using a playable version of it … Continue reading →
