We’re humbled.
Occasionally, we get thank-you notes from fans – and we always appreciate them. Sometimes, though, the sentiments expressed and the timing of the arrival combine to make things special – and that happened today. A fan, choosing to be known as Jon, let us know why he was happy we were around. There are times, when life gets crazy, that it’s easy to forget what kept us doing this for so long… and a note like this goes a long way to helping us remember. Check it out. (For what it’s worth, Stuntmutt’s still around, even if it’s only once in a while.)(Louis Wu 22:31:16 UTC)

You can walk all over it.
PyroSporker16 pointed out a pretty rare piece of Halo memorabilia being sold right now on eBay – it’s Combat Evolved welcome mat, never used. I vaguely remember seeing one of these before – but it’s definitely not a common item. Currently at just over $100, but there are still 4 days left on the auction. Check it out!(Louis Wu 22:27:32 UTC)

Ifafudafi, from CMT, let us know that their new Custom Edition map, The Silent Cartographer: Evolved – Cartographer Encounter, is coming along swimmingly. You can see lots of pictures and stuff at HaloMods, or watch a recent encounter playthrough on YouTube. This is a reworked Silent Cartographer… and it’s really pretty. Check it out!(Louis Wu 22:21:21 UTC)

Wednesday’s Bulletin… on Saturday.
We’re way late this week – apologies – but the Halo Bulletin went up as usual on Wednesday, and it covered a bunch of subjects. There’s a San Diego Comic-Con wrapup, info about the Champions Bundle, a cool gallery from SDCC, an update on the Halo 4 Global Championship, details on the newest Matchmaking Playlist Update, and some pretty funny screenshots. Go read! (As is usually the case, you can read a lighter version in our Halo Bulletin Archive.)(Louis Wu 08:09:07 UTC)

Fails of the WeakHorse… or something
Nikko B201 pointed out this week’s AchievementHunter content – there’s Fails of the Weak 149 (the final fail is quite cool), both on AH.com and YouTube… and there’s another round of Halo HORSE, this time between Miles and Michael. Who will fill that third slot in the office quarterfinals? Watch to find out (on AH.com or YouTube). (Louis Wu 08:08:49 UTC)

Spartan Assault Review from Destructoid
Destructoid has a review of Spartan Assault up for your viewing pleasure. Short version – they thought it was fun, but it didn’t offer a whole lot. (Then again, it doesn’t cost too much.) Give it a read! (Louis Wu 08:07:54 UTC)

Podtacular 384: Cryptum Discussion
Download
We take a step into the Halo Universe outside the boundaries of the game and explore the first book in the Forerunner trilogy: Cryptum. Authored by Greg Bear, Cryptum dives into the history of the Forerunners, one specifically named Bornstellar. We follow his journey starting from Erde-Tyrene meeting Chakras and Riser, to meeting the Didact, a legendary warrior. Bornstellar’s journey with Chakras, Riser and Didact reveal many mysteries behind the Human/Forerunner war including the disturbing revelations of the Precursors and the Halo rings. This podcast is full of spoilers so if you have not read the book, we urge you to not listen to the podcast after the Halo Bulletin update. For this episode, we are joined by Eric Neustadter (e), Operations Manager for Xbox Live and co-host of Major Nelson Radio, Nevin Douglas (CruelLEGACEY), creator and producer of Playtime Show and co-host of the Waypoint Community Modcast, and Bryan Newman, Owner of B2 Films and HBO community member. Enjoy
