Victor Chavez is an animator for 343. He just updated his animation reel – and it includes some Halo 4 stuff (death animations, shooting animations). Go take a look! Thanks, Hypertrooper. Update: Looks like Victor no longer works at 343… now he’s at …

I stumbled across a YouTube account called ‘fatfinger’ – has some pretty funny game-related animation. Two of their videos are Halo-specific: Video Game Therapist was released last November, and has Chief and Cortana working out some… issues, while G…

DeathMcGunz sent word of a trailer for a new Halo 3-based machinima series, ‘MLG’ – fine start! Keep your eyes open – ep one is coming in a week. (Louis Wu 18:18:57 UTC)

Kotaku reports how earlier this week, ‘Dual Survival’ on the Discovery Channel, featured an ammunition brand called ‘Halo-Point’ manufactured by Liberty Ammunition. If the obvious play on wording wasn’t enough, the ammunition box even used Halo’s signa…

Jack and Geoff from Achievement Hunter are back with another episode of ‘Fails of the Week’. Who knew ordnance could float? Watch it on YouTube or on AH.com. Thanks, Nikko B201(mastrbiggy 10:33:10 UTC)

Halo Waypoint has a video called ‘Making of the UNSC Raptor: Pt 1’ – it shows off what Galpin Auto Sports did to build the custom Ford F150 Raptor that will go to the winner of the Infinity Challenge. (Well… it talks about what they did. You’ll have …

Nak3d Eli has kicked off a new video series – he calls it ‘Breaking Halo 4’. It’s all about finding glitches in Matchmaking maps… and the first episode looks at an invisible walkway (well, probably more than one) on Adrift. Normally, we’d stay away f…

Skywalker DSP came by with another commentated gameplay vid – this was a four-player custom Regicide game. Fun editing… and entertaining commentary!(Louis Wu 18:51:04 UTC)

Our forum had a Secret Santa exchange (completely organized by JDQuackers, I just watched) – and NartFOpc dropped in last night to share his gift. I love you guys.(Louis Wu 18:49:28 UTC)

kornman00 stopped by yesterday to show off a video containing some fun mods for Halo 4. (You can’t use these unless you’re willing to mod your Xbox 360 – but you can certainly watch videos.) Those monstrous Spartans are awesome! Update: kornman says th…

Kotaku decided to take a shot at shooter montages – and Tashi’s Halo 4 inaugural montage is held up as a ‘sincere’ example. (In the context of this article, that might not be a good thing.) Agree or not, it’s a thought-provoking read. Thanks, Zeouterli…

The Forward Unto Dawn crew has released another podcast – it’s a discussion of the first five episodes of Spartan Ops, with special guest Kete from The Running Riot. Dani’s… salty. Thanks, Fuchsdh. (Louis Wu 18:41:10 UTC)

Tommy92l sent us a link to a video showing some trolling in Halo 4… and some reverse trolling. Always fun when you get surprised! (Louis Wu 18:36:54 UTC)

One new piece is up in the Fan Fiction section today – go read!(Louis Wu 18:33:40 UTC)

After four years adrift in space, Cortana awakens the Master Chief to investigate a disturbance on the Forward Unto Dawn. Continue reading →

The Achievement Hunter guys are back with another episode of Halo HORSE (well, it’s still PIG, and will be until the Fileshare issue is resolved) – Jack and Geoff square off in a battle that’s reminiscent of the early days. Watch it on AH.com or on You…
