Dust and Echoes – Eurogamer Special
From Tom:
So last week we had the time of our lives! Not only did we get to enjoy the Eurogamer Expo (which included copious amounts of Halo 4) but we also got to attend a Microsoft event the night before (which included even more copious amounts of Halo 4!)
Massive thanks to Microsoft, Xbox, 343 and the lovely Acey Bongos for the invite. Now we get to share it all with you guys!
In this podcast, we go through everything we got to play with over the three days, and we finally get to talk about the new map and vehicle, RAGNAROK and the MANTIS!

Murder Miners Remakes
A few weeks ago, we mentioned Murder Miners – a low-res indie game that draws lots of inspiration from Halo. Over at NeoGAF, Awesome Barlow pointed out this thread on the Murder Miners forum – it contains all the user-created maps that remake classics from other games (mostly Halo, but CS is represented too). Amazing!(Louis Wu 15:45:20 UTC)

On Monday, A Halo Fan…natic posted a great parody of Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ – and the thread turned into poetry gold. (That might be a slight exaggeration.)

It’s Like We All Get a Golden Ticket
This week’s Halo Bulletin was delivered to us in golden fashion not only by the ever-svelte bs angel, but by the Halonian High-Queen herself, Bonnie “You’re in Good Hands” Ross. The wise mother-spark lent her own words to assist the fans in gaining a more intimate grasp of the herculean task that 343 Industries undertook over the past few years to bring us the upcoming joy that will be Halo 4. It’s a fabulous peer inside the studio’s efforts, and a perfect match to bs angel’s delivery of new screenshots and information from both the new Flood Mode as well as the new map, Abandon. A few remaining sprinkles on the update cupcake will certainly hold you entertained until next week’s edition… or at least until Friday, when Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn debuts. At any rate, go read! Update, Thurs 9am ET: The local version is now online. Apologies for the delay!(GrimBrother One 05:32:56 UTC)

Wow. NOKYARD stopped by NeoGAF to point out a speedrun on Crow’s Nest by HISTORY100, a new Japanese speedrunner. This video contains all sorts of new techniques that cut almost a minute off the existing Solo Legendary record. Riding the Drones… that’s a first, for me. Go watch!
