Okay, so you need to remember that the outcome of the fight was decided by fan voting… but the Machinima series ‘Super Power Beat Down’ just released ‘Master Chief vs Captain America’… and the quality is quite impressive. Go watch! Thanks, Mid7nigh…

Wow. This came out a year ago – but I missed it until now (thanks, Elnea). Halo – as anime. Check it out!(Louis Wu 01:10:56 UTC)

Wow. We mentioned SEspider’s remake of Silent Cartographer in the Project Spark Beta a couple of days ago – he stopped back with an update, and there’s a LOT more work done! Those hunters are pretty awesome for a first cut.(Louis Wu 21:03:47 UTC)

This week in Halo news, we get our first glances at the Cortana personal assistant coming to the Windows Phone 8.1 update. The Verge was able to get some time using the new software and pointed out some of it’s … Continue reading →

The first week of competition in the B.org March Madness Tournament is coming to a close – and CHa0s filmed two of her team’s three matches. Plenty of ‘You killed Louis Wu’s in there. Go watch!(Louis Wu 17:12:49 UTC)

Fails of the Weak is up to episode 181 – it’s another mix of Halo 3, Halo 4, and Reach. Some are fun, some are… fails. Watch it on AH.com or YouTube, with thanks to our resident Failman, Nikko B201.(Louis Wu 17:04:17 UTC)

Whoa, blast from the past. Back in 2005, Edgeworks Entertainment released The Codex, a 20-part Halo 2 machinima project that was popular and impressively made. Last week, they released the full-length (unsegmented) version of the film, as seen on their…

From behind closed doors.

SEspider noticed a Machinima Ten FTW vid counting down the Top Ten Blunders in Video Games – things your character does wrong (or sometimes things that just happen in the storyline) that are really, really bad news for the universe in general. And yeah…

Wow. gamecheat13 sent us a link to a video showing off gameplay on Vadum, a map he converted from Halo 3’s campaign’s Shadow of Intent playspace (with some help from Lord Zedd) – this is not playable without a modded Xbox, but it shows the sort of thin…

Kal let us know that GrifballHub’s Kickstarter to bring a booth to RTX has hit its initial goal of $4800 in just 72 hours – now they’re shooting for $8,000 to double the size of the booth. Go help ’em get there! (Louis Wu 22:19:41 UTC)

MixMaker1 put together the four Grunt easter eggs (from Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Reach) into one video – if you’ve missed any of these, it’s a fine way to catch up! Loved this blast from the past… go watch it yourself!(Louis Wu 20:50:59 UTC)

I noticed this at Halo Waypoint: Gugga Leunnam mashed up audio from The Winter Soldier trailer with Halo visuals… really nicely done. Check it out! (Louis Wu 23:28:03 UTC)

A lone gunman in the pursuit of the truth.

The Verge got hold of a couple of screenshots of the upcoming ‘Cortana’ digital assistant for Windows 8 phones – looks like Microsoft is going with an animated circle instead of a female avatar. Thanks to Revenant1988, who found this at Engadget.(Louis…

I… I don’t even know how to describe this. The ‘Doge’ meme which exploded on Tumblr spawned a cryptocurrency last December – Dogecoin is an alternative to Bitcoin, and even though it’s satire, you can buy stuff with it. Halo-related stuff, even. Like…

On Friday, Halo Waypoint highlighted a 7-foot-long model of the Spirit of Fire, created entirely out of Halo Mega Bloks. Very cool! (Compare it to the 7-foot Spirit of Fire we mentioned a month ago… made of LEGOs.)(Louis Wu 17:59:17 UTC)

We got a pretty funny email from Tim ‘343 Guilty Spark’ Dadabo this morning – guess what he found at the market?Here’s hoping he doesn’t destroy them all!(Louis Wu 17:19:11 UTC)
