The Halo Bulletin: 5.21.14
It’s 2:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on Friday, May 16. After about an hour of sleep, my alarm goes off, but for the first time in weeks, and possibly months, I don’t hit the snooze button. Instead, I jump out of bed, throw a hoodie on, gr…

Halo 4 Co-op Campaign Antics
MixMaker117, Dijabouti, HaloFanForLife, and SEspider got together to play some Halo 4 campaign on Legendary and ended up capturing some pretty funny moments. I’m pretty sure this video could use some Benny Hill music. Thanks, SEspider – go watch! (mas…

I’m a $10 typo
I nearly forgot to point out the latest Community Member Spotlight over at Halo Waypoint – which would be a shame, because it’s shining on our boy wonder mastrbiggy. He’s so dreamy I can almost forgive all the mean things he says about me. (Almost.) Go…

Halo 3 AI Battle – Sword Elites vs Brute Chieftains
Gamecheat’s back with another AI battle – this time, it’s Halo 3 Sword Elites versus Brute Chieftans. I found it fascinating. I’m not sure how to discuss the parts I liked the best without actually giving away the overall winner, but I can tell you tha…

Red vs Blue – the Catch-up Edition
Another thing we’ve totally missed these past couple of weeks is the continuation of Red vs Blue Season 12. This series has evolved quite a bit; storytelling, music, and the combination of machinima and CGI are all quite sophisticated at this point. Ca…

Quirel noticed that the cover for Escalation #9 has been posted over at Comic Book Resources – looks like SOMEONE might be back in action! (The episode isn’t due to hit shelves until August, so you’ve got a little time to anticipate…)(Louis Wu 16:32:…

Maybe Waypoint should switch to Saturdays
Not sure how I managed to miss it this week, since I was back in internet land by Wednesday… but somehow, the Weekly Halo Bulletin came and went without an acknowledgement. If you haven’t read it yet, you should go take a look. There’s information on…
