AssaultGodzilla is back with another vid – this one is set to Sum 41’s “Still Waiting”. Still amazes me he can use so many disparate Halo sources and create vids that feel ‘right’. Timing is AMAZING.(Louis Wu 17:19:24 UTC)

A couple of days ago, Halo Waypoint announced a teaser for a new animated series called ‘Apt 117’ (the link we list no longer works – looks like it was taken down). Reception for the trailer on our forum (and elsewhere) was decidedly… chilly. Well, …

Sometimes, you can overwhelm the game engine. Usually, the effects are pretty funny. Thanks, Captain Spark.(Louis Wu 16:25:39 UTC)

GrimBrother One has collected all the radio dialogue audible in Reach’s Multiplayer and Firefight maps (we mentioned them a couple of weeks ago) – it’s not new material, but it’s nicely organized. If you missed these the first time around, check ’em o…

That bombshell from yesterday? About 6 new games and a movie coming from 343 Industries, starting in 2 years? Yeah, that might not be fully accurate. In fact, according to Frankie… it’s hogwash. For those who were worried about the downhill slide of…

A few days ago, we put up an RSS feed for Bungie.net’s Daily Challenges, so that you could get a quick look at what today’s challenges are without loading a web page. Sorahn liked it – but missed the pretty icons Bungie uses to identify classes of cha…

Hmm… during a panel discussion at New York Comic Con last night, Jeff Gomez, President and CEO of Starlight Runner, a PR company, previewed a slide showing some of the upcoming stuff from the Halo franchise – “two new trilogies starting in 2012/2013…

Congratulations to Blissful Rage, who won the latest giveaway from Domino Theory – a soundtrack will be on its way soon! And keep your eyes peeled for more chances.(Louis Wu 20:10:27 UTC)

Thanks a million to the volunteers that offered their time last night to test out the submissions for our Game Forged contest – we’re still waiting on results from a couple of groups, and depending on final tallies, we may need to do ANOTHER round of …

Wired’s Game|Life highlights a new Reach rap from Chicago-based ‘The Energy Commission’ – it’s pretty funny! (Bonus: there’s a referenced video from 2007, made in honor of the Halo Zune, that I’d never seen before.) Go watch!(Louis Wu 15:05:04 UTC)

Yesterday, Halo Waypoint posted a press release about the newest novel in the Halo library – Halo: Cryptum. It’s the first of Greg Bear’s Forerunner trilogy, and the press release displays the cover art, discusses Bear himself, and announces that the …

It’s old, but I just found it this morning – Marty O’Donnell was interviewed by ChicagoNow.com’s game blog GameSmith about a month ago – he talks about Chicago, videogames, and Reach. Give it a read!(Louis Wu 15:03:05 UTC)

shiruken sent word that Treeskunk Productions has some news for you – there’s a Side Note with Paul Shelley that announces a new series they’re putting together in Reach: Crashed. The video describes (in general terms) the idea, and shows a teaser for…

Brian Gilmore and jake108 both made sure we knew about the newest offering from the Teabag Prevention Team – it focuses on the Active Camo Armor Ability, and if you follow its advice, you’ll find yourself getting more kills, and fewer deaths. And how c…

I feel terrible. After forgetting Monday’s One One Se7en and promising to include one on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday… I forgot Friday’s. So here’s Friday’s. After reading it, you may wish I’d left it out… (Louis Wu 15:01:00 UTC)
