Dennis Powers let us know that Maniac1000 has put together a tutorial showing how to add motion capture easily to Master Chief. Might make for some interesting machinima! (Louis Wu 18:57:47 UTC)

Nick_GTL, over at NeoGAF, pointed out a dualtage showing off footage by Str8 Sick and Prototype, with editing by whaTime – this was released a couple of weeks ago, but it’s the first I’m seeing it. Editing is heavy, but well-done. Check it out! (Louis…

Longtime HBO readers might remember Z, who used to run Halo3Forum all by himself. He turned over the reins to people he trusted, but has recently decided to come back. If you swing by TheHaloForum.com right now, you can watch an hour and a half of Hal…

Robowski wrote to let us know about something new at Post Game Carnage Report – they’ve turned one of their fan fiction stories into an audiobook. It’s… not as serious as you might expect.(Louis Wu 13:34:49 UTC)

MixMaker117 put together another montage based on customs madness; this one collects footage (and in-game silliness) from last Friday night. Four minutes of fun. Thanks, SEspider.(Louis Wu 13:31:47 UTC)

Yesterday, Jillybean stopped in to our forum with a proposal – she thought it might be fun to recreate the Halo 3 terminals in Halo: Anniversary style. The enthusiasm, and pooling of talent, was amazing to watch. Here’s to the fans who make this happen…

Match 6 of the Stride Championship Series is now up at Halo Waypoint – Clutch and Cloud face off against Flamesword and Enable. This is much more of a cat-and-mouse type game than the last few matches… great watch!(Louis Wu 13:02:24 UTC)

Arby ‘n’ the Chief Season 6 Episode 12 went live yesterday – and it becomes clear what’s REALLY going on. And sets things up for the final episode. Pretty nicely done! Thanks, Ogan Panavo. (Louis Wu 12:58:30 UTC)

There’s a video up on Halo Waypoint right now that I was SURE I’d seen before… but given the footage, I’m thinking it might be new. It’s called ‘The Halo Conflict 1: Strange New World’, and sets the stage for the games in about two and a half minute…

Hedgemony is back to his old tricks – check out his latest collection of pano shots, built from Community Customs action last night. Some really amazing pics in there! Update: And… more. And still more. And… STILL more. And the last batch.(Louis W…

Achievement Hunter’s posted Fails of the Weak volume 69 (AH.com | YouTube) – I found it to be pretty weak, across the board, except for the last fail (which was awesome). And it looks like I broke hezekiah’s spirit, which sort of sucks.(Louis Wu 18:57…

CruelLEGACEY has been posting an article series on Halo Waypoint that is aimed at helping you create machinima. Part 1 went live last week (it covered planning and audio recording), while Part 2 is up now (Storyboards and Animatics). 3 more parts are …

Dust Storm sent word that this week’s Podtacular episode features two MLG icons, AnTiPRO and Cheeky, and the topic of discussion is the future of Halo on the MLG Circuit. Worth listening to, whether you’re a fan of MLG or not! (Louis Wu 18:53:46 UTC)

DeeJ has posted a new mailbag over at Bungie.net – the Halo-specific content is very, very light, but any window into the dark and mysterious castle that is Bungie (at the moment) is welcome! Go read.(Louis Wu 20:10:35 UTC)

Today’s webcomic at idleduck.com hit home for me; do you find YOURself reacting with Halo content to real-world situations?(Louis Wu 19:57:03 UTC)

Nikko B201 stopped in with word of some Halo artwork he’d sketched and scanned – go look!(Louis Wu 19:55:17 UTC)

Quagga sent us a link to his tutorial showing how to get the Bandanna Skull on Halo Anniversary… without grenade jumping (or rocket-jumping). Sneaky! I wish I’d known about this a couple of months ago…(Louis Wu 19:49:47 UTC)

Congratulations to the Rooster Teeth crew – last night, they took home the Best Animated Webseries award for Red vs Blue at the International Academy of Web Television Awards in Las Vegas! Steppin’ up in the world…(Louis Wu 13:51:15 UTC)
