Let’s not go third-gear speed.
At the end of last year, we mentioned that Pete Cooper was selling the Warthog he built – Vincent stopped in yesterday to point out a video that explains where it went, finally. Very cool!(Louis Wu 17:40:52 UTC)

ASE Ep. 114 Marathon Infinity lvl 21 Son of Grendel
It seems we’ve been rescued from the Pfhor by a partially-activated Thoth. All that’s left to do is investigate this underground power source… but let’s go look for ammo, first, shall we?

MS studio closure shouldn’t affect Halo projects
There’ve been rumblings all week about layoffs at Microsoft… and today, Variety has an article explaining that Xbox Entertainment Studios, responsible for (among other stuff) the two live-action Halo projects currently in the works, is going to be closed. However, it sounds like both projects are among those which will see completion – or at least that’s the plan now.Tellem, Jordan Levin and some of the Xbox Entertainment Studios team will remain with the company to see the completion of its original programming already in production, Microsoft said.
That includes “Halo,” the first major project spearheaded by the division, is in advanced negotiations for a pickup at Showtime in a shared window with Xbox. Project is a co-production with Amblin TV.
Others are the “Halo” prequel story “Nightfall,” exec produced by Ridley Scott, and the docu “Signal to Noise,” about the notorious Atari “E.T” game flop in the early 1980s.(Bolding mine, to show that both Halo projects are mentioned specifically.) Thanks to thebruce0 for noticing.(Louis Wu 21:27:08 UTC)

Cloak and Dagger
So every Monday (almost), Rooster Teeth releases a new episode of Red vs Blue Season 12. This past Monday was no exception… but we’re just getting to letting you know about it now. We suck. But they don’t. This episode is… well, you should watch it. Episode 9 was all about setup – Episode 10 is the punchline for all that. And let me tell you… it packs a wallop. Pay close attention to the music, and you might actually figure out what’s going on before it’s revealed. Great stuff. (Louis Wu 20:54:45 UTC)

Blackstar and Narcogen face a profuse proliferation of insidious switches and spooky level design, not to mention a passel of fusion infused BOBs sent by the devilish Durandal. Also there’s a spot of lag.
