Year: 2014

Fails of the Weak is up to episode 181 – it’s another mix of Halo 3, Halo 4, and Reach. Some are fun, some are… fails. Watch it on AH.com or YouTube, with thanks to our resident Failman, Nikko B201.(Louis Wu 17:04:17 UTC)

Whoa, blast from the past. Back in 2005, Edgeworks Entertainment released The Codex, a 20-part Halo 2 machinima project that was popular and impressively made. Last week, they released the full-length (unsegmented) version of the film, as seen on their…

From behind closed doors.

SEspider noticed a Machinima Ten FTW vid counting down the Top Ten Blunders in Video Games – things your character does wrong (or sometimes things that just happen in the storyline) that are really, really bad news for the universe in general. And yeah…

Wow. gamecheat13 sent us a link to a video showing off gameplay on Vadum, a map he converted from Halo 3’s campaign’s Shadow of Intent playspace (with some help from Lord Zedd) – this is not playable without a modded Xbox, but it shows the sort of thin…

Kal let us know that GrifballHub’s Kickstarter to bring a booth to RTX has hit its initial goal of $4800 in just 72 hours – now they’re shooting for $8,000 to double the size of the booth. Go help ’em get there! (Louis Wu 22:19:41 UTC)

MixMaker1 put together the four Grunt easter eggs (from Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Reach) into one video – if you’ve missed any of these, it’s a fine way to catch up! Loved this blast from the past… go watch it yourself!(Louis Wu 20:50:59 UTC)

I noticed this at Halo Waypoint: Gugga Leunnam mashed up audio from The Winter Soldier trailer with Halo visuals… really nicely done. Check it out! (Louis Wu 23:28:03 UTC)

A lone gunman in the pursuit of the truth.

The Verge got hold of a couple of screenshots of the upcoming ‘Cortana’ digital assistant for Windows 8 phones – looks like Microsoft is going with an animated circle instead of a female avatar. Thanks to Revenant1988, who found this at Engadget.(Louis…

I… I don’t even know how to describe this. The ‘Doge’ meme which exploded on Tumblr spawned a cryptocurrency last December – Dogecoin is an alternative to Bitcoin, and even though it’s satire, you can buy stuff with it. Halo-related stuff, even. Like…

On Friday, Halo Waypoint highlighted a 7-foot-long model of the Spirit of Fire, created entirely out of Halo Mega Bloks. Very cool! (Compare it to the 7-foot Spirit of Fire we mentioned a month ago… made of LEGOs.)(Louis Wu 17:59:17 UTC)

We got a pretty funny email from Tim ‘343 Guilty Spark’ Dadabo this morning – guess what he found at the market?Here’s hoping he doesn’t destroy them all!(Louis Wu 17:19:11 UTC)

Jack and Geoff are back for Fails of the Weak 180 (that’s a lot of FotW episodes!) – you can watch it on AH.com or YouTube, as always. My favorite this week – the massive Red Death on Exile. Both Jack and Geoff saw the slaughter coming when 6 Reds got …

The Tyrant pointed us towards the latest Women of Xbox video – Ceulex gets her hands on Halo 4 for the first time, and reviews it. Better late than never, right? Go watch! (Louis Wu 17:12:47 UTC)

We’re currently in a little bit of a low point for news this week and until more rumors surface, if any, we won’t get much until the time E3 rolls around. Not to worry though as we this week’s Halo … Continue reading →

Wondering when you’ll get OFFICIAL word about what’s coming next from 343 studios? Phil Spencer tweeted to a fan that news would be coming to E3: @MarvelousJoJo Halo news will be coming at E3. 343i has a great plan in place, will be cool to share wi…

Flügel Meister sent word that the first of his Halo community interviews is now online – it’s done in the style of an ONI interrogation, and the subject is macca chief, fan and artist. Go check it out! (Louis Wu 22:05:14 UTC)
