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)

Rockslider returns to Halo’s rockslide megabattle, this time focusing on pistol action (with a liberal sprinkling of grenades). Sometimes it’s amazing to think how much fun can be generated from this one small area of the original game’s campaign!(Loui…

Yesterday’s Halo Bulletin is lighter than usual – mostly playlist updates and info about a new Spartan Assault feature – but there are also some answers to community questions, and some cool Adrift screens. Go read! (As always, there’s a copy in our H…

Robowski shot us a note about Th3 Rogue, who put together a ‘behind the scenes’ vid showing how she created her Cortana costume – fun to watch. It’s not particularly SFW – there’s footage of what got on her body after the suit came off – but it’s prett…

Gugga Leunnam sent word that he’s got another mashup for you – this one capitalizes on the ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ trailer. I was actually surprised by how well some of the bits worked. Really nicely done! There’s even a poster to celebrate.(…

It’s not really Halo news, since it doesn’t change anything related to the game or its music… but it’s pretty big news, at least in my world, and it’s certainly Halo-related: Marty O’Donnell no longer works for Bungie. More details can be found in th…

Dust Storm let us know that the latest episode of Podtacular is full of juicy conversation – Ridley Scott, Microsoft’s new digital assistant, Gamespy, and more are touched on. Go give it a listen! (Louis Wu 19:35:32 UTC)

The staff of Beyond Entertainment has taken this anniversary opportunity (today marks 4 years since the original Xbox LIVE service was discontinued) to look back on Halo 2, and what it meant to them in its heyday. Oh, the feels! Thanks, CyReN.(Louis Wu…

Wow. Last week, slYnki beat the world speed record for Silent Cartographer… and yesterday, it happened again. Vetro shaved a full 5 seconds off the total – amazing! Check it out. Thanks, Reed Tiburon. (Louis Wu 19:26:57 UTC)

Revenant1988 bought some UV LEDs and turned his Halo 3+ Cortana into a Halo Cortana. Pretty slick! (Louis Wu 18:32:02 UTC)

Eep – forgot to mention this on Friday… but for the first time in nearly 6 months, there’s a new Fan Fiction piece loaded! Go give it a read.(Louis Wu 18:28:27 UTC)

Reach’s Emile plays a larger-than-usual role in the latest Fails of the Weak (AH.com | YouTube). That guy should spend less time polishing his knife and more time avoiding out-of-the-park swings. Thanks, Nikko B201.(Louis Wu 20:49:48 UTC)

Awesome – Impact Props released a video of Master Chief – on a motorcycle.d It made me happy. Thanks, thebruce0.(Louis Wu 20:47:55 UTC)

Grey101 might be a newcomer to our forum – but he’s hit the ground running, that’s for sure! A second analysis piece in as many days looks at the Starhammer trilogy, from Christopher Rowley, and focuses on how it has affected the Halo universe. (Spoile…

The Latest Halo Bulletin went live last night – and Bravo’s packed it chock-full of goodies. A new fan-made helmet (killer!), matchmaking updates, info on a new Spartan Assault feature, a shoutout to Beyond Entertainment’s Spring Tournament, and a spot…

If you’re into cloud computing and massive data processing, there’s a pretty in-depth talk from Build 2014 in which the team from 343 discuss how they built the cloud services that power Halo 4. SERIOUSLY technical. Check it out! Thanks, Arithmomaniac….

slYnki has (re)broken the world record speed run for Silent Cartographer – it’s now down to 3:44! Take a look! (Louis Wu 20:20:30 UTC)

Rockslider continues his habit of pushing Halo glitches to their extremes; for his 100th video, he decided to mess with the Spirit dropship, in an attempt to keep it from its normal path. He’s successful – to a point. (The end of the video shows some r…

Grey101 stopped by our forum to announce his analysis of Catherine Halsey – swing by his blog to give it a read! A very interesting piece, it is. (Louis Wu 20:10:16 UTC)

Gugga Leunnam (we’ve mentioned his mashups before) let us know that he’s put out his latest work: Halo/The Amazing Spider-Man 2 FINAL Trailer Mashup. Pretty slick! (He even made some wallpaper for this one!)(Louis Wu 20:07:39 UTC)
