ASE Ep. 84: Kill Your Television M2 lvl 22
UPDATE: Whoops! This was supposed to be for Friday, and I skipped Episode 83 by mistake, which also threw off the “levels remaining” count. So episode 83 will go out on Friday and when both are posted I’ll correct the dates on the episodes so the playlists are in the proper order.
Blake wants us to find more personality cores for Thoth, the S’pht AI, and turn them on. I hope he’s worth it. This level has some particularly interesting underwater (overwater?) architecture.
Seven levels left including this one!

What are U-Boat cleaners doing in Glasgow?
Yesterday’s Halo Bulletin, the final Bulletin of 2013, went live on time – and it’s a fun read. Frankie agreed to an AMA-styled Q&A… and he does mean ANYTHING. There are also some pretty nice Holiday-themed screenshots. Go read it! (You can, as usual, read it in our Halo Bulletin Archive if you choose.)(Louis Wu 19:06:58 UTC)

PGCR 190
Robowski sent word of Post Game Carnage Report 190 – the crew is joined by Eagleman (see Operation Eagleman if you don’t know who he is) for some adventurous tales. They also had the chance to interview the Vigilantes Clan, a group that’s just starting to make machinima. Go listen! (Louis Wu 18:59:31 UTC)

Sugar Assault
I came home to a pretty sweet (geddit?) box yesterday – click on the strip below to see larger pics. These were whipped up by Bellevue’s Cookies in Bloom, and I gotta say… they’re yummy. Two thumbs up to 343!

PBS Halo
CARDO 8 ATL pointed out today’s episode of Sifting Reality, a webcomic with a Christian worldview. Halo makes an appearance (leading to its mention here), but the gist of the comic can be applied to any aggressively competitive endeavor. Update: CARDO 8 ATL clarified that this strip is part of the Pearls Before Swine comic – it really has nothing to do with the site it was linked from, other than that it was of interest to the site’s curator. It was originally published on November 19.(Louis Wu 19:55:19 UTC)

Does Noble Team outshine the Master Chief?
Over at the A.V. Club, there’s a new article looking at the characters in Halo: Reach (both the ones you play with and the one you play AS). It’s an intriguing look at how Reach’s campaign differed from the Halo titles that came before, and the titles that have followed. Sometimes doomed heroes are the right choice!(Louis Wu 19:52:11 UTC)

Halo: Evolutions Original Soundtrack
Bizargh stopped by with information about the soundtracks for a number of motion comics published by Halo Waypoint – his post contains a link to the original material on Soundcloud, plus a few repackagings he’s done himself. Go take a look – these have never been mentioned here before (mostly because I had no clue they’d been released).(Louis Wu 19:29:26 UTC)

Buy a Spartan Sculpt for Christmas
We’ve mentioned Jason Evans a number of times – he does some beautiful Spartan sculpts that you can actually buy from him. He’s back, with the promised buy-for-Christmas sculpt we pointed out in November – if these two shots aren’t enough, there are more on his Facebook page. (You can also use that page to contact him for purchase details.)

Halo in the Smithsonian
Remember Ed Fries’ Atari-fied Halo? (We mentioned it about three and a half years ago. You can still play the Flash version in that link!) Apparently, it’s been immortalized in the Smithsonian American Art Musem – one of two games, in total. Very cool! Thanks, padraig08.(Louis Wu 23:35:02 UTC)
