A monster PoA – new pics
The last time we mentioned Lee Jones’ 100+kg Pillar of Autumn model made of LEGOs was back in November – if you missed it then, or didn’t get enough of it, swing by MOCpages to see it again! Thanks, munky-058.(Louis Wu 22:32:28 UTC)

Hyper-realistic renders
A little catch-up… munky-058 ran across a pretty slick picture of a Pelican – it was created by Reno Levi and Cki Vang. Swing by Facebook for some other very cool Halo 2 Anniversary artwork – love the Scorpion!(Louis Wu 22:28:00 UTC)

In thanks for your continued patience
This should have been posted a couple of days ago – and for the delay, I apologize. Bonnie Ross has written a thank-you to Halo fans over on the Xbox Wire – and if you’ve purchased the Master Chief Collection, it would behoove you to read it. In it, she apologizes for the problems the release has had, she looks forward to what else is being fixed soon, and she offers an olive branch to outraged consumers: a free month of Live, a free avatar, and a free nameplate will be available to anyone who played the MCC between launch and December 19. Oh, and a couple of biggies: The Halo 3: ODST campaign… and the Halo 2 multiplayer map Relic, reimagined for Halo 2: Anniversary. There are more details on the offer on Halo Waypoint. To 343, I say, good on ya!(Louis Wu 20:25:27 UTC)

Looking (way) down the road
Silly me, thinking that coming up for air once meant things would level out a little… While you’re waiting for the return of our regularly scheduled events, check out this article at Bloomberg. Bonnie Ross is the focus of a piece on women in gaming, and while there are a number of interesting parts, what stood out to me was a comment she made about the goals of the studio with respect to the life of the Halo franchise. I posted this on our forum a couple of days ago, and the discussion’s been pretty lively – join in! (Louis Wu 23:33:30 UTC)

Podtacular 455: Gods of the Damned
Halo: Nightfall had some high anticipation going for it when announced that 343 would be working with Ridley Scott to produce the origin story for Agent Locke, who will be a prominent character in the upcoming Halo 5: Guardians. While it was a pretty good production, it didn’t live up to the standards of Forward Unto Dawn, which told the origin story for Thomas Lasky. It received mixed reviews from many of the Halo fans, with the opening episode leaving much to be desired. With all 5 episodes of the series out, we give our opinions and thoughts on Halo: Nightfall.

Drinking Games Ep 5 – Screen Watchers
Once upon a time, we let you know about a group called TeamSexy (most of the posts were in 2003 and 2004, though there’ve been a few references to SexyJosh in the following five years) – they liked Halo, a lot. Recently, they’ve been hosting a series called Drinking Games, and in honor of the release of The Master Chief Collection, they devoted an episode to Halo. I found it pretty entertaining. Check it out! (Louis Wu 22:14:00 UTC)
