Jason Evans has been casting sculpts of Master Chief for a few years now – I bought a couple from his 2011 series. This summer, he posted pics of a Halo 4 version – and he’s back, with a Facebook page that you can use to buy a new version that will be …

Red vs Blue Season 11 has wrapped up – Episode 19 was released last night. Aside from a pretty cool new song, the episode not only closes out the season… but gives you a reason to look forward to Season 12. Go watch! (Discussion on our forum kicked o…

Polygon has a fantastic look back at the birth of Xbox Live – and surprisingly, Halo (which didn’t have a live-enabled title for the first two years of the service) plays a pretty sizable role. Great read! Thanks, cheapLEY (and e!)(Louis Wu 23:45:45 UTC)

This is just a reminder that voting is underway for our Guilt O’ Lantern contest – if you haven’t cast your votes yet, please swing by and do so! (You get 5 of them, so you don’t need to pick your absolute favorite pumpkin.)(Louis Wu 23:00:19 UTC)

343 Artist Sparth has been doing a bunch of ’30 minute sketches’ recently – and his latest one is called ‘Stardrive Maintenant’. Wow… just wow. (Louis Wu 22:58:39 UTC)

IGN talked to Microsoft Game Studios head Phil Spencer about a variety of subjects – and he had some pretty interesting stuff to say about Halo Wars, both the existing product and what might come from it in the future. Go see! Thanks, Revenant1988.(Lou…

The Tyrant sent word of a new Halo 4 WTF Moment – which is actually longer than a moment. It’s a 6-minute video from a run through Reclaimer, and it shows you what can happen when you circumvent the rules. Breaking one thing sometimes breaks a lot more…

Geoff and Gavin look at the latest batch of fails in this week’s Fails of the Weak (viewable either on AchievementHunter.com or YouTube) – and while most clips show semi-familiar stuff (this IS the 164th episode, after all), the last fail is pretty imp…

Weekly Halo Bulletin – Late Somehow, I found the time Wednesday night to localize the newest Halo Bulletin, and to mention this fact on our forum – but I couldn’t find the time to post it here on the front page. DOH! If you missed it, go give it a read…

There’s a pretty funny video up currently at Halo Waypoint – it’s called ‘Halo 4: A Look Back’, and it shows off a few of the… well, less polished bits that might not have made it into the final release of the game. Here’s hoping it shows up on YouTu…

I was looking over the early votes for this year’s Guilt O’ Lantern contest, and I noticed a disturbing trend. There are quite a number of people who are coming in and voting for just a single pumpkin. Now one of the submitters asked if there were any …
