Breaking games out of the ‘act like a man’ box
A thought-provoking article at Ars Technica looks at gender expectations, and discusses ways that games like Halo could help disrupt some of the less healthy ones. Intriguing! Thanks, Arithmomaniac.(Louis Wu 18:09:41 UTC)

Fast-paced precision weapon gameplay
Have you tried Proving Ground yet? It’s the latest Halo 4 Matchmaking Playlist, having kicked off yesterday – BR starts, power weapons, and a motion tracker, but no personal ordnance or armor abilities. Go shoot someone! (Louis Wu 22:47:51 UTC)

Hyena :: Lightning Snipes of Death 5
Morpheus noticed a pretty impressive minitage from Hyena – he says it’s his final montage, and he says it’s not as great as it could have been if he hadn’t lost some clips to a hard drive failure, but geez. It’s pretty insane as it stands. 5 minutes of Halo 3 death. Go watch!(Louis Wu 19:16:33 UTC)

Podtacular 414: Start Kicking Grif
The Halo Community is one of great passion, commitment and generosity, so it’s no surprise that our guests from GrifballHub tonight already have a fully funded Kickstarter for a booth at RTX, all supported by the community. Goosechecka and Kalbelgarion give us the four-one-one on what their plans are for RTX this year where Podtacular will be in attendance. If you’re looking to help out fellow Spartans, than head on over to their Kickstarter and drop a few bucks. You’ll get some pretty cool stuff in return. In other community related news, Edgeworks Entertainment has released their full, uncut version of The Codex. If you’re looking for some good machinima from the days of old, this is a must see. You can also listen to Episode 80 of our podcast for an interview with some of the crew. Halo has also sparked some innovation… over on Project Spark that is where SEspider has been working on re-creating the Silent Cartographer mission from Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s very impressive given the current capabilities of the platform. In Halo Bulletin news this week, we get a closer look at the upcoming playlist Proving Grounds and some info on an Environment Artist position at 343 Industries.

A cool product ceases to be
Oh, bummer. Evike has cancelled their ‘Chrono Blaster CB-88’ – we mentioned it back in December, but Revenant1988, who ordered one, just got a notice that licensing issues will keep them from actually selling them. Awww…(Louis Wu 17:32:39 UTC)

ASE Ep. 92 Marathon Infinity: Lvl 1 Ne Cede Malis
Things are not as they seem! Or as they seemed, it seems. Instead of victorious and triumphant, Durandal is scared out of his considerable wits. Instead of defeated, dead, or both, Tycho is alive. Instead of propping our feet up by the fire and enjoying a hot cocoa, the Security Officer is once again trying to find out where he is and why. Behind it all lurks the chaotic evil of the W’rk… the W’rk… somethingorother.

I think the Kig-Yar are looking into that shield
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, Mid7night.(Louis Wu 05:13:23 UTC)

Halo – taking shape in Project Spark
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)

Podtacular 413: Proving Ground
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 features to be expected. Someone has outdone themselves and put together a seven foot long Spirit of Fire out of Mega Blocks. It is a truly amazing feat taking up a laundry lists of Halo Mega bloks sets to put together. In this week’s Halo Bulletin, we have some coverage for upcoming playlist changes, and upcoming play date and new avatar items.
