If it doesn’t expand the gaming experience, don’t do it
We missed this when it came out earlier this week, but luckily someone on the DBO forum was paying attention… Kotaku talked to Dave Dunn about the idea of a Halo movie, and how Dunn (and Bungie) felt about Neil Blomkamp (or anyone, really) creating one. Pretty interesting thoughts – go give ’em a read!(Louis Wu 15:37:39 UTC)

John-117 Spartan Evolved
TDSpiral whipped up a really nice progression of John 117, otherwise known as Master Chief, as he’s evolved from the early days (Forward Unto Dawn) to the most recent sighting (the next Halo title). Cool! (This was a commission for Jordan Nathaniel Wharton.)(Louis Wu 14:57:06 UTC)

Bringing that Spiker to Life
Revenant1988 got hold of one of Smick6’s Brute Spike Rifle kits (we detailed these a few years ago), and finished it up really nicely. Swing by his forum post for pictures of the work!(Louis Wu 14:48:54 UTC)

Halo 4 WTF Moments: The Dawn Duo
The Tyrant has two new WTF moments for you – ‘Never From Behind‘ has some assassination shenanigans, while ‘Always Watching‘ has some omniscient Elites looking to make life hard for your average Spartan. Go watch! (Louis Wu 14:46:44 UTC)

Star Stuff
RVideo pointed out a Halo 3 montage from YBLOC – it’s heavy on the editing effects, but with the resurgence of Halo 3 (due to the free Games with Gold program for XBL Gold members), it’s well-timed. Take a look!(Louis Wu 14:33:38 UTC)

Podtacular 395: Hindsight Vision
Download | Shownotes
With the recent release of Halo 3 under the Games with Gold program, we decided it would be a good time to recollect some of the memories we had while playing Halo 3 and some of the foundations that were set in the conclusion of the Halo trilogy. There were many things that Halo 3 did right and is touted by many as the pinnacle of Halo multiplayer, but as with every game, nothing is perfect. We did not focus on any one particular area, but it lead to two hours of content for you to consume. We also cover the matchmaking update and other happenings in this week’s Halo Bulletin. To help re-live the good old days, we have some good old (or their rather preferred “distinguished”) Podtacular members join for the episode: TYP0GRAPH1C and Laird. Enjoy

Halo 4 Friday Caption Fun 24
Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring two Spartans and one Sniper Rifle. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!
“Even with me helping, you still can’t hit a single thing?!” –AndrewGOO9
“Sadly, Paul’s ‘in the zone’ mentality meant he greatly lacked situational awareness. This is
a fact that he became well aware of.” –Haven923
“Day 712, and he still hasn’t seen me.” –H1TM4N12
“So this is what the stability mod does!” –BeguiledTurnip
“Hey, if you’re done shooting at that tree, can I take a shot at the Spartan standing two feet to the right? Thanks.” –iTrentz
“Day 723: The squad now excels in their sniper training. Time to show them
how to remove a live sticky grenade from their back.” –Neowankenobi
“Sniper, no sniping! Sniper, no sniping!” –ZnaZanZ
“I dub thee ‘Sir Snipesalot’.” –stckrboy
“It’s time to put the gun down, soldier. You’ve missed all but one shot, and that one was a teammate.” –Kevin J Kearney Jr.
“…and this is why you should bring a knife to a gun fight.” –Mercenary212145
Now that we’ve wrapped up that picture, let’s start a new one. Up for your captioning pleasure this week is an image featuring a flying Spartan. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!

Halo Fan Selling Collection to Raise Family
Gah. Mark Wyatt-Knott sent us a note a few days ago, mentioning a series of Halo-related eBay auctions (in the UK) that were set up to help his family raise money for fertility treatments… a combination of travel and lack of email access has caused this mail to be neglected until today. Today is the day the auctions end. Go look – there’s a wide variety of items, from action figures to t-shirts to books and more. Huge apologies for the short notice – again, these end TODAY.(Louis Wu 13:24:03 UTC)

Podtacular 391 – Among Champions
From Dust Storm:
The Halo 4 Global Championship was the biggest Halo tournament to date featuring some of the worlds best Halo players. In a moment of a crowd-cheering Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Washington during Pax Prime, a victor was crowned the Halo 4 Global Champion. Thousands of participants played for their chance at the $200,000 grand prize, but the one person who showed their skills were the definition of a champions was Aaron “Ace” Elam. As a passionate gamer and a valiant Spartan, Ace takes some time with us this week to recount his Global Championship path to victory and the roads traveled before this climax. Joining us for the show this week is your Halo 4 Global Championship commentary team GH057ayame, Goldenboy and Bravo who you got to watch all weekend as the events of the final unfolded before us. Get an inside look at the production and game play of this truly remarkable event, a look back at competitive Halo and the pathways such a spectacle has taken to get here, and what is next in store for the future of Halo.
