Getting ready for Halo Fest.

If you never got around to watching The Mona Lisa, the 11-part motion comic created from a Halo: Evolutions story, Waypoint has gathered all the parts together in on easy-to-navigate page. Check it out!(Louis Wu 17:22:17 UTC)

goCHIEFgo pointed out a pair of Gamescom interviews – both Gamespot and Germany’s GamingClerks talked to Dan Ayoub about Halo: Anniversary, and you can see what he had to say to both. (Not surprisingly, much of the info is the same in both interviews.)…

Fails of the Weak 48 was released yesterday – as always, some fun failures, and some great commentary from Jack and Geoff. Go watch!(Louis Wu 15:45:57 UTC)

It’s definitely NSFW, but Euee’s Cee-Lo Green parody is pretty funny. (Looks like there’s at least ONE more person that should be happy that the upcoming TU allows DMR bloom to be turned off!) Thanks, CyReN. (Louis Wu 15:45:21 UTC)

gamereactor spoke to 343 Producer Dennis Ries at Gamescom last week – go listen for tidbits about Halo: Anniversary, and hints of what might be coming at Halo Fest next week! Thanks, Hypertrooper. (Louis Wu 15:44:50 UTC)

Mike Sellers made a Halo Reach Launch Day montage (some time ago, obviously) – but just recently uploaded it to the internet. Should give you a little taste of the excitement felt last September!(Louis Wu 15:39:59 UTC)

CruelLEGACEY sent word that the third part of his Playtime Season 2 Development Blog is up. More than you ever wanted to know about the making of Playtime! (Louis Wu 15:39:40 UTC)

LazerBlader sent word that he’s part of a gaming club at the University of Minnesota campus called Teh Pwn Gaming, and they’re hosting an event called slumberLAN next week. It’s a large overnight LAN party with corporate sponsors (MLG, NOS, Microsoft)…

IGN has released an official trailer for Halo Fest (and their coverage of it), taking place next week at PAX. Watch it and get pumped up! Thanks, DEEP NNN. (Louis Wu 13:13:44 UTC)

NsU Soldier pointed out the newest Halo Teach, a series of videos where Master Chief, in a blazer and bow-tie, summarizes famous battles in history. This new episode describes The Great Emu War, an engagement fought by an Australian major against… a…

MSNBC’s In-Game has an interesting article from a British psychologist who explains why we have so much fun playing Halo games. (You probably know this already – but it’s a nice summary, and contains some great quotes.) Thanks, William Spurgeon.(Louis…

Halo Waypoint has Episode 9 of the MLG Reach Top Ten series – and some of these plays are jaw-dropping. (The number 1 spot, for example, makes me wonder if I ever want to even ENTER the MLG playlist.) Go watch.(Louis Wu 17:01:13 UTC)

RedSpades sent word that Uni-BB.org will be hosting a Friday Night Custom Games LIVE (to be simultaneously broadcast on Twitch.tv) – you can read more about it on their site. They’ll be playing Reach this week. Swing by and join in! (Louis Wu 15:54:41…

ElzarTheBam found a monster (21 minute) Halo PC montage on YouTube, released today. I had so much fun with this game, back in the day… but watching this vid doesn’t make me want to step away from Reach. See if you disagree!(Louis Wu 15:54:17 UTC)

Are you going to PAX next week? At least 34 HBO denizens will be there, as well. Would you be interested in meeting up with some of them? I’ve been asked a few times to figure out a way to connect everyone – but life’s been insane. Avateur asked again…

Leviathan doesn’t think he’s going to be able to finish A Fistful of Arrows before he leaves for PAX next week – so he’s releasing four more pages today, to soften the blow of the cliffhanger he’s leaving us with. (Read his post for full details.) Tha…

NeoGAF’s wwm0nkey found a ‘Director’s Cut’ of the Halo 4 Announce trailer – it’s very similar to what was released, except for two things: the music, and the last couple of seconds. Interesting! (He’s also uploaded it to YouTube if you don’t want to w…

IGN’s posted a full flythrough of Battle Canyon, the re-imagining of Battle Creek/Beaver Creek that’s included with Halo: Anniversary. 343’s David Ellis takes you through the map, showing off the new bits (and explaining what does, and doesn’t change)…
