Meant to get to this yesterday – sorry. Halochief89 stopped by with word of a fan fiction comic called ‘DogTag Origins’ – it focuses on a Spartan named Melissa. You can read her data file (and some expanded backstory) on his DeviantART account, or just…

TheSparbiter dropped by to let us know about his latest Halo music video. The video utilizes the song ‘Bartholomew’ by The Silent Comedy and it fits nicely with the visuals. Check it out!(mastrbiggy 21:37:41 UTC)

343 Industries and Dark Horse Comics have just released Issue #5 of Halo: Escalation. Some things are really starting to heat up in the Halo Universe! Some key questions answered, and even more raised. If you are still on the fence, then get down, it’s…

Wow, this is actually pretty cool. Gamecheat set up some AI-on-AI battles to see which was more badass – Covenant Hunters or Forerunner Knight Battlewagons? From 1v1 up to 20v20 (which might be a little out of Halo 4’s processing range, actually), chec…

Gugga Leunnam put together another mashup trailer – this time he took the audio from the Godzilla trailers and edited it to various Halo footage. As always, the end result is pretty superb. Check it out!(mastrbiggy 17:40:20 UTC)

Yesterday, Edge Magazine released a retrospective on Halo – one of a very few titles to ever earn the coveted ’10’ in an Edge review. It’s a look back at what made that first title so special – and how gaming has changed forever in response. As with mo…

In January, Lord Zedd posted a short video purporting to show off a newly-discovered Halo 3 Easter Egg – but refused to explain how to reproduce it. (He preferred that fans find it on their own.) There wasn’t enough in the video he posted for me to be …

SEspider found a pretty fun video called ‘Chalk Warfare 3.0’ – well-done effects, and the Halo Energy Sword plays a pretty important role! Check it out. (Louis Wu 16:57:03 UTC)

Rockslider has revisited his Megabattle setup yet again – this time he’s sticking to plasma weapons. Go see how it turns out! (Louis Wu 20:39:20 UTC)

I enjoyed the fails this week – there were some funny ones I’d never seen before. (The Kat murder clip was pretty amazing – I’m not sure what the programming behind the behavior might have been.) Watch it on AH.com or YouTube, your choice. Thanks, Nikk…

Grizzlei brings us news about another episode of Escalation – Episode 8 isn’t due until July, but you can see the cover (and a summary) on Comic Book Resources now. I’m intrigued! (Louis Wu 21:24:21 UTC)
