From MythicTyrant:Bad blood brews between the Master Chief and Del Rio, forcing the Chief and Cortana to deal with the Didact alone while Infinity makes a run for it. Fortunately, saving Lasky’s ass decades earlier pays off when he suits him up with a combat-ready Pelican and a blessing of hope.
Editor’s note: Language is mature. Proceed with caution.

Podtacular 349: The Wacky Halo World
Download
At it’s heart, Halo has always been a game about custom settings from day one. Being able to customize your experience was the cornerstone to how we play Halo today in the multiplayer space. Since the advent of Forge in Halo 3, customs have skyrocketed to some of the most fun, competitive, crazy and just plain odd combinations of map variants and game types. On the podcast today is founder Insane54 and staff member Vincent Torre from Halo Customs to talk about their efforts to highlight the creative customs community and talk about the current standing of custom games in Halo 4. With the announcement of the just released web-based file share, they have their work cut out for them. Enjoy

Building A Bulwark Against The Bungie Backlash
Over at Gamasutra, Shay Pierce wrote a piece entitled Game Designers and the Four Tribes of Artists, and then Sara Gross (also at Gamasutra) wrote a piece called Indie Elitism, partially in response. Response to what? Well, apparently Pierce had read some conversations on Twitter in response to Bungie’s Destiny reveal that were a bit less than positive:
A few days ago when Bungie did their first reveal of “Destiny”, my friend and former co-worker Josh (who is working on Destiny) was expressing some frustration on Twitter. Josh is a big fan of indie games, and was frustrated because many of the indie game developers he respects were seemed to be expressing immediate disdain for the game.
Josh in this case is Bungie’s Josh Hamrick, of course. Pierce started in on how the indie game community has a bunch of snobs in it, but Gross apparently thought Pierce took it too far, or perhaps not far enough, or not quite in the right direction, and anyway ended up here:
I see no reason to vehemently snub the things that shaped gaming as we see them today. Why not embrace them – appreciate what they did for us? Some were pioneers once too. Before they made AAA titles, they made games in their parents’ basements, lived on pre-packaged garbage foods, and suffered obscene deadlines to help their creations see the light of day. They started somewhere too. AAA developers aren’t so different from us, indies.
… and linked to this.
