Let them eat cake.

Once again, we’re late posting news of the Halo Bulletin – which is sad, because it’s a great read this week. Word of the Bravo-Cam, descriptions of Matchmaking updates, the skinny on a new Mega Bloks release (and giveaway!), news about Spartan Assault…

Quagga released Travelogue – a snapshot, as he says, of his time in Halo 3 and Reach. It’s not a montage, in the normal sense of the word; it’s not a collection of incredible shots and plays… it’s a collection of moments, some good, some bad, some bo…

Kyle ‘Kehlek’ Johnson sent us a link to his Halo/Noah mashup – pretty nice work! If you like what you see, he’s got a whole collection of mashups on his channel – explore!(Louis Wu 17:21:28 UTC)

Morpheus pointed out a nice bundle at Amazon – it includes the original soundtrack from Halo 4 (on CD and vinyl), the bonus remix CD, the Making of Halo 4 Music DVD (and book), an art print, and a signed Master Chief poster. And a t-shirt. Package pric…

FyreWulff pointed out that Gamespy is shutting down its game hosting service before June of this year – this means that online players of Halo PC (and Halo CE) will no longer have a centralized place to find games to jump into. Bummer!(Louis Wu 16:29:1…

A couple of nights ago, Rooster Teeth posted a teaser trailer for Red vs Blue Season 12 – go check it out! Looks like CGI will play a big role this time around – and almost everybody’s gotten a promotion! (“Captain Caboose”? That doesn’t sound right……

Yeah, so remember how we mentioned yesterday that Cortana, the new digital assistant for Windows Phone 8, had been officially announced? So then this happened. I’m shaking my head… thanks, rhubarb. (To be fair, it’s part of this campaign – check out …

Beyond Entertainment is hosting a Halo 4 Spring Showdown – it’s a free-to-enter 1v1 tournament taking place at the end of this month – and the prizes are pretty nice! Go read about it. Thanks, CyReN (I miss you too). (Louis Wu 18:52:00 UTC)

Interesting thread on our forum last night – thanks to Grizzlei for kicking it off. Looks like a new live-action series is ramping up – it will be produced by Ridley Scott (among others), and directed by Sergio Mimica-Gezzan (best known for his work on…

Revenant1988 shared an article from Engadget confirming Cortana for Windows Phone, Microsoft’s answer to Siri. Arithmomaniac chimed in and pointed out that The Verge posted an in-depth article about Cortana. The most relevant information is that 343i a…

Dust Storm sent word that Podtacular 416 is live – the crew talk about releasing Halo: Spartan Assault on Steam, Phil Spencer’s comments on Halo 2 Anniversary, and talk about the rotational playlists mentioned in the Halo Bulletin. (mastrbiggy 20:31:2…

spartansniper619 stopped in with word of a new short film – it’s called ‘Poursuit’, and though spartansniper619 is French, the movie deals in the language of lead, which is universal. (There are no spoken lines.) Go watch White Guy take on Grey Guys! N…

Whoa – scoop from Podtacular! Looks like the next Halo title will actually be developed for the original Xbox! For all those clamoring for that older experience… this one’s for you! (Louis Wu 21:28:34 UTC)

Kal, from GrifballHub, sent word that the Hub is moving in a new direction – in his own words:Instead of focusing on the brutal sport where people are bludgeoned to death by giant hammers, we’re now all about the world’s cutest animal: The red panda!Ch…

SEspider noticed that an episode of American Dad contains some Halo inspiration – fun! (Rockslider has helped out a bit with links, and timestamps to the relevant portions, so if you’re in a hurry, read his post before you watch.) (Louis Wu 18:34:31 UTC)
