While many couples are spending time with one another, we are here to talk about our true love, Halo (since it’s Valentines Day, duh). Yesterday’s bulletin shows us some eValentines cards you can give to that special Player 2 that they are sure to enjoy (if they are a Halo nut). We also get a look behind Spartan Ops Episode 8, Matchmaking updates including the introduction of Team Throwdown, and more info about the Title Update dropping in two weeks. As always, we read our submissions and start a question of the show segment. This week’s question: Would you pay for a second season of Spartan Ops and if so, how much would you pay for it? We also wanted to highlight another podcast and the multiplayer tips they talked about that are really good ones to take with you into matchmaking. You can find the Drunken Halo podcast over at jtpodcasts.com Put your response in the comments or send us a submission. Enjoy

Yet another Harlem Shake video (sorry) – this time from freddiew. You never know what to expect from a freddiew video – I’m still not sure what I just watched, but I did see the Chief in there somewhere. (mastrbiggy 21:36:34 UTC)

343i’s Paul Richards posted some Halo 4 art – there are some really great pieces of art showing off Forerunner artifacts (some of them creepy) and interesting looking structures.

Moonshot Games Cancels Fallen Frontier
Damián Isla, Rob Stokes and Michel Bastien left Bungie back in 2009 to start Moonshot Games, and one of the first projects they put on display was Fallen Frontier. It was intended to be a platformer targeted at XBLA. I liked the look of it, and they put up a trailer.
However, two years ago the publishing deal that backed that game died. While the game was shown at the Penny Arcade Expo that year without a publisher, last month the studio cancelled the game.
Joystiq has now written a follow-up story about the game’s cancellation and the resurrection of Moonshot Games with a mobile focus.
Isla has written a blog post over at Moonshot Games, just to add a bit to the story about Fallen Frontier and talk about the group’s new game, Third Eye Crime.
For various reason, Fallen Frontier had grown larger then our ideal project size — mostly because games in the console download space itself had grown larger and more elaborate. Between then and now, something happened: we became convinced that really great and deep gameplay experiences could be had on the mobile platforms, especially tablet.
So there you have it. Fallen Frontier is no more, but we have something else to look forward to from Moonshot.

Halo IRL: Halsey St.
Halo is a fictional universe. However, sometimes we catch sight of things in real life that remind us of our favorite science fiction video game franchise. This particular series, titled Halo in Real Life, showcases those very moments. Enjoy the subtle Halo references sometimes spotted when out and about in the real world, and if you have a picture you’d like to submit for possible future inclusion, send it to bsangel[at]halowaypoint.com!
