Over at IdleDuck.com, pete_the_duck has been documenting the revamping of a cool concept that didn’t work out the first time. Part 1 shows you what the original game looked like, how it worked, and why it wasn’t fun. (This was published Tuesday.) Par…

A pair of tweets (one | two) showed up this morning that should make Bungie fans (among other people) pretty happy. I’m flabbergasted, myself. Thanks, Der Flatulator. Edit: Oh gawd.(Louis Wu 16:21:17 UTC)

It’s July 7, which means it’s Bungie Day – swing by their website for some new goodies: avatars, shirts in the Bungie Store, wallpaper. And if you were one of the lucky 7 recipients of the Golden Tickets last year… today’s the day to find out what it…

CruelLEGACEY let us know about a couple of new goodies you might want to check out – Episode 20 of the Waypoint Community Modcast has CL and DayandKnightly discussing Halo 4 and other interesting things… and CruelLEGACEY’s Community Spotlight has re…

The latest Mail Sack from Bungie hit the intertubez today, just a few hours before the onset of Bungie Day – way more Halo content than usual, and some seriously fun stuff to boot! (Shout-out to Spawn031 – I saw my basement in your video.) Go read!(Lo…

The weekly Waypoint Halo Bulletin is up – a couple of days later than usual, but absolutely worth the wait. Tons of info about Infinity Slayer, a brand-new impressions video from the Waypoint crew, and a discounted link to the latest Edge magazine, iPa…

Jonathan Bach did some concept art work for The Commissioning, the Halo 4 live action trailer that kicked off the E3 presentation – take a look! Thanks, Grizzlei. (Louis Wu 15:23:11 UTC)

The second part of Gravemind’s Building the Ultimate Halo Game rewrite is up at Community Customs – take a look! Thanks, nomis78. (Louis Wu 15:22:08 UTC)

A number of sites (the Examiner, for example) are reporting that the newest OXM has a tidbit about 343 starting development of Halo 2 Anniversary – it’s in their ‘Rumor and Speculation’, section, though, so who knows. (Over at NeoGAF, TheOddOne pointe…

The Achievement Hunter crew actually posted the next match of their office HORSE contest (AH.com | YouTube) on July 4 – what a hard-working team! It’s the first round of the quarter-finals, so it’s a whole new set of maps – some look EVIL. Can Gus put…

Running parallel to RTX this weekend is SideQuest; it’s a bunch of events that will help conventiongoers meet up with other fans in relaxed non-convention environments. And one of the events that’s part of SideQuest is a charity auction to benefit Chi…

It’s been about a year since we’d heard from him, but Lance Rutledge sent us a bunch of new sculpt pics recently – there’s a Halo 3-era Master Chief, and an ‘ancient Arbiter’ (he looks pretty aged!). Both are about 10 inches tall – very nice work! (If …

Apparently, there was a Q&A with 343 over on ExpertZone (again, a site not accessible to the general public); CyReN was kind enough to transcribe it on NeoGAF. Definitely worth a read!(Louis Wu 19:11:03 UTC)

If you’re going to San Diego Comic-Con next week, you’re among the exclusive few who had access to this gorgeous piece of artwork from 343’s Robogabo. I’m jealous! Thanks, Hypertrooper.(Louis Wu 17:43:03 UTC)

TheOddOne noticed an article at Gameranx that summarized a bunch of Halo 4 info – they picked it up from the latest video from MLGBravo. The video summarizes a bunch of the tidbits and notes that Bravo had been wanting to get out there that he just ha…

wwm0nkey pointed out where Microsoft is hosting the music file that goes with the Expertzone quiz found recently; if you have trouble reading .ogg files, I’ve converted it to .mp3 for your convenience. It’s a great piece, but it’s not pure music; ther…

Demoncarnotaur was watching a video preview for a new statue from Sideshow Collectibles… and he noticed some interesting sketches showing up in the intro. Check his post on NeoGAF for screenshots, if you don’t want to watch yourself! (Louis Wu 13:33…
