Carnage A51 built a new Rube Goldberg machine in Halo Reach – it pays tribute to 343 Industries for the continuation of the Halo franchise. The mine-triggered golf ball (and the ending) seemed really nicely timed. Take a look!(Louis Wu 20:35:41 UTC)

Revenant1988 noticed a new line of Funko figures coming soon – he provided links to a Japanese site, but you can see both figures – a Grunt and the Master Chief – on this page, as well. Definitely… odd. (Remember, Funko is the company responsible fo…

It couldn’t possibly be any more fitting that I am sitting in a racetrack media room while posting pete_the_duck’s latest edition of his absolutely excellent Forge reality show, Last Forger Standing. Don’t miss Episode 3, which gives the remaining forg…

This week’s Halo Bulletin had word of a Custom Challenge available on Halo Waypoint that could get you 10x the normal credits – I ran into a little bit of trouble this afternoon, and wanted to pass along something I learned. Skulls are important – if …

NeoGAF’s senador pointed out a fan-made sci-fi short called Archetype – it has some serious Halo vibes. Really cool stuff – check it out! (Louis Wu 04:08:13 UTC)

It’s time for another Fails of the Weak – Episode 71 has a bunch of clips of people… well, failing. You can see it at both AchievementHunter.com and YouTube (thanks, hezekiah).(Louis Wu 04:06:22 UTC)

Tom Pritchard is selling a used but good condition copy of The Art of Halo 3 (UK only) on eBay – one of the more reasonable prices I’ve seen. If you’re in the UK, and you want this book… go bid!(Louis Wu 03:58:12 UTC)

The Woaf sent word that he and his buddy Tom have put together a new podcast, called Dust and Echoes – it’s the first Halo-centric podcast from a Britsh perspective. Go listen to the first episode! (He wanted to warn folks that the language is definit…

As DeeJ pointed out a little while ago… the Bungie Pentathlon is live. Swing by and read about all the ways you can follow along!(Louis Wu 19:28:16 UTC)

According to today’s Idle Duck comic, it’s actually the last daily comic he’s going to be doing. (There will be plenty of other stuff, apparently.) So go enjoy the last three – today’s, yesterday’s (are you having trouble keeping track of what you pl…

Grumpy sent word that there’s a new collection of Halo 2 launches out there from DrBizz – you can follow the whole Jumprs.org thread, or if you’re in a hurry, the YouTube video just gets you to the action.(Louis Wu 12:54:48 UTC)

If the post at ToyNews last month didn’t give you confidence about the release of die-cast Halo vehicles by Jada Toys, there is now an official press release on Halo Waypoint. No new info – but ‘Autumn 2012’ has changed to ‘August 2012’, which is alwa…

Four new pieces are available this week in the Fan Fiction section – go read!(Louis Wu 12:33:56 UTC)

Halo: Helljumper Episode 1 was released yesterday – and it’s a pretty impressive piece of work! 13 minutes long, the live action short follows an ODST through training and into the field – and into battle with the Covenant. It uses Tobias Buckell’s sho…

Jordan Bell pointed out the latest Top 10 from Anoj – it’s all about stickydooms.There’s blue carnage everywhere! Worth the watch.(Louis Wu 22:20:59 UTC)

Swing by Halo Waypoint for a first glimpse of Series 2 of their Halo: Anniversary figures, coming in March. Master Chief, Mickey (from ODST), Keyes, Guilty Spark, a Mark VI Spartan, the UNSC logo, and Halo Wars’ Red Team… classy! Thanks, ElzarTheBam…
