Termacious Trickocity’s ‘Limitless’ Halo 5 Trick Jumping Montage
Kotaku posted a great trick-jump video today for Halo 5: Guardians. It’s cool to see how Termacious Trickocity use the thrusters to aid in some otherwise impossible moves, and the editing on this one is outstanding (the transition at 1:35 is particularly surprising). Definitely take a few minutes and go see Termacious Trickocity’s video, ‘Limitless’ when you get a chance!(MacGyver10 21:58:56 UTC)

Check out this video of someone using their HoloLens to play some Halo 5 on a projected screen in their living room! (Thanks kidtsunami!)(MacGyver10 15:32:51 UTC)

ASE Ep. 170 Marathon Tempus Irae 35 The End
We place the final manuscript in the final receptacle and wonder aloud: is that all there is? Are we really at The End?
We’re fighting the Pfhor in Italy of the past in third party scenario Tempus Irae!
Tempus Irae can be played, like the other Marathon games, using the open source Aleph One engine which you can get here for Windows, Mac and Linux:
Tempus Irae and other third party scenarios for the Aleph One engine can be downloaded here:
http://source.bungie.org/scenarios.php#more
There’s a ZIP format archive here:
http://nardo.bungie.org/alephone.php
Direct link:
http://nardofiles.bungie.org/Tempus_Irae.zip
We use irons’ Co-Op script, (but not this time) which gives weapons and ammo to both players if either picks any up, and prevents weapon loss on death (so items can’t be destroyed in lava or slime). The script also allows one player to teleport to a destination set by themselves or their partner, in case co-op players run into a problem a solo player would have to restart for.

Tempus Irae has its own spoiler guide:
