Overpod!
These came in last week, but life’s been rather insane – apologies to Dust Storm for the oversight! Podtacular 313 contains a nice summary of the information that’s been released since the media embargo lifted last week, while Pod TV has a look at the Covenant Weaponry video released a couple of weeks ago.

The Eighth Plague
Hedgemony continues his series of amazing comic cover concepts based on the new GEN2 MJOLNIR armor from Halo 4. He started out with CIO, and kept the magic rolling with Oceanic. His latest though, completely near and dear to my heart. Check out his artistic depiction of a valiant Spartan IV battling the most grim of conditions in LOCUS. Go. Look.

Wasn’t Left Enough.
This isn’t really Halo content, but if you’ve ever watched MLG Pro Ninja’s Halo stream, you know what he sounds like when he’s playing… and ‘calm’ is NOT a good word to describe him, most of the time. Which makes this ad for Rhinomite, a non-violent superhero game, all the more touching. Great piece! Thanks, PNut.(Louis Wu 16:54:21 UTC)

In this episode, we’re dishing details about weapons, armor abilities, armor mods and vehicles.
