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)

mr.sci-fi has decked his car out in Reach-related decals… the targeting reticle disturbed me a little. (Louis Wu 11:39:31 UTC)

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…

Hedgemony loves Halo. And Hedgemony loves HBO. (And HBO loves Hedgemony! But that’s not really the story here.) As part of his celebration of Halo’s 10th anniversary, he’s decided to create a gorgeous, HBO-exclusive gallery of his signature images – 1…

The next episode in Tyrant’s Halo 3: ODST Legendary Walkthrough is live – he covers Data Hive in his inimitable style. It’s a monster – 40 minutes long. (It would be longer if he were using MY footage, I’ll tell you that.) Go watch! (Louis Wu 16:02:03 …

Eurogamer’s DigitalFoundry has done one of their tech analyses on the Halo Anniversary demo shown at San Diego ComicCon last week. Worth a read! Thanks, Hypertrooper. (Louis Wu 15:59:25 UTC)

kornman00 is unhappy that Halo Wars doesn’t get the credit it deserves – if you swing by HaloMods, you’ll find a post about the first ever Halo Wars mod. The creator is hoping to kick off a modding craze! Go see.(Louis Wu 15:52:53 UTC)

If the original series, plus the making-of video, plus all the ancillary releases haven’t been enough Playtime for you, CruelLEGACEY has your back; he’s releasing the first four episodes again, but this time with commentary. Ep 1 is up now. New episod…

ElzarTheBam pointed out a pretty nice wallpaper he found at DeviantART – someone enhanced a screengrab from the Halo 4 trailer. Take a look! (Louis Wu 15:47:06 UTC)

Avcracy stopped in to let us know that the Dispatch series called ‘Prophecy’ (videos were released from 2006-2009, and are currently available on DispatchFilms’ YouTube channel) is being remade by Firelight Studios and DispatchFilms – the first traile…

Paul Shelley let us know that the Halo Legacy project is off an running – in fact, since we last mentioned it, in early May, two full series have been released. The idea behind this project is to use multiple directors to create “create serious halo s…

Not only did I forget to post a Fan Fiction update on July 15… I forgot again this past Friday. I’m really sorry! (On the bright side, the buildup is only three stories – so you don’t have to feel overwhelmed!) Go read.(Louis Wu 22:02:02 UTC)
