Year: 2012

GrifballHub’s Kal sent word about the Grifball World Cup – their final major event in Halo: Reach. Signups are now open for this six-week event – you’ve got until September 14 (Friday) to get on the list! Go read the details at their site. (Louis Wu 2…

RUL’s Greenskull grabbed Frankie at PAX, and asked a lot of questions. Go hear the answers! (There’s a reason this man does lots of 343 interviews…) (Louis Wu 20:25:57 UTC)

TDSpiral stopped in with some concept art he created for the Venerance project (a Crysis 2 total mod). It shows Côte d’Azur… on fire. It’s amazing! If you sign up for the Venerance forums (free, of course), you can see a couple of other version…

Spec ops Grunt let us know about a Halo 2 recap that… made me laugh. It ain’t Downton Abbey… it’s closer to South Park. But it’s funny. (I’m pretty sure I’ve NEVER heard someone sing a medley of Titanic and The Little Mermaid before…) (Louis Wu 2…

Also from the Podtacular crew, don’t miss Podtac 308, which has the crew discussing non-Halo stuff from the show floor. It’s a cool look at the “rest of the world” from Halo-focused minds. Go listen!(Louis Wu 19:58:54 UTC)

Shuya Takaoka created a very cool Promethean concept on Tumblr – thanks, TheOddOne. (Louis Wu 19:53:19 UTC)

Quirel pointed out an article at Gamasutra – it looks at the concept of regenerating health in videogames, and why it can be a problem. Halo examples play a pretty big role. Really interesting read!(Louis Wu 19:50:57 UTC)

We got some goodies for giveaway at PAX. Unfortunately, I packed them up for shipping before I had a chance to take pictures, or even a solid inventory. (A handle of Captain Morgan’s might or might not have had something to do with the thought process…

Inside Gaming’s Adam Kovic and APL Fisher released a video of E3 gameplay (it had been hiding in their archives, unreleased) – the commentary is new, but the gameplay (and engine build) is from June. Worth a watch! Thanks, CyReN.(Louis Wu 18:55:25 UTC)

DeeJ, the man with a moral core that’s too big for its own good, has posted another Mail Sack on Bungie.net. Philosophy, silly memes, and a new puzzle will all vie for your attention – go read!(Louis Wu 17:55:11 UTC)

Normally, I don’t like posting links to articles with titles like “Top 5 Reasons Why HALO 4 Could Be Awesome Or Could Disappoint” – they’re usually written for pageviews alone, and are a waste of your time and mine. But I sort of enjoyed this one – it…

Nevin ‘CruelLEGACEY’ Douglas sent word of two new videos for your aural and visual enjoyment – GrimBrother One (wearing his Waypoint Community Modcast hat, not his HBO beret) interviewed Kevin Grace about Halo 4’s CTF and Regicide modes… and CruelLE…

pete_the_duck wrote up his thoughts (and included a couple of videos) recapping his experience of a Reach playdate in which they tried to simulate Halo 4’s CTF settings. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 17:52:40 UTC)

Somehow missed this yesterday – but Jordan Bell reminded us that Anoj had released a new Top 10, this time focusing on Epic Fails. Definitely some fun ones! (Louis Wu 17:51:46 UTC)

Mid7night spent some time modeling and planning so that he could have Shapeways create him a Marathon Logo frisbee… with its offcenter hole intact! Check his post for pictures, a video, and a link to buy your own, if you want one! (It ain’t cheap……

Urban Reflex snagged the announcement kudos for the latest episode of Fails of the Weak – you can watch it at AchievementHunter.com or on YouTube. They’re not all fails, but it’s a pretty good collection of clips, no matter what they are!(Louis Wu 17:…
