This week, we’re following up with the recent behind the scenes look at Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn. Some Halo community leaders had the chance to go out to Vancouver on the set of FUD. GrimBrother One from HBO, CruelLEGACEY from CruelLEGACEY Productions, and Greenskull from Ready Up Live join the podcast today to talk about their experience on the set and their experiences with the people behind the production. Enjoy

Thanks to @DemonKingOda over on Twitter for linking us over to a crazy feat by breakfast-enthusiast and artist Danny Palmer. Yes, that IS a Master Chief portrait made out of Reese’s Puffs. Yes, that IS awesome. (GrimBrother One 21:00:56 UTC)

Making a game we want to play…

343 Industries has some sweet new looks at the iconic Warthog as it runs through its paces in the upcoming Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn series. Some awesome video and BTS footage of what it takes to get everyone’s favorite mythological creature into the action. Go and watch it!(GrimBrother One 18:49:56 UTC)

Epic film star and American Idol Albuquerque semi-finalist petetheduck dropped a post bomb on our forum that’s all sorts of ducked-up. Everything from new ideas to utilize player-trait zones to some really slick IdleDuck merch. Go and check out all the goodies pete has for you! (GrimBrother One 14:58:13 UTC)

HaloGAF ran across a New Zealand game seller with the first pictures of the insides of the Halo 4 Limited Edition. (My guess is they went live a bit earlier than they were supposed to…) The goodies aren’t described, specifically, but you can refer back to the May 16 Halo Bulletin for details. Go drool!(Louis Wu 11:47:05 UTC)

Yesterday, the Rooster Teeth crew released a new PSA – it’ll help you understand the Higgs Boson! Special bonus – Griff gets blown up. A lot. Thanks, robofin117.(Louis Wu 11:45:45 UTC)

Dust Storm pointed out a pair of auctions being conducted right now by Podtacular – signed Red vs Blue posters, with some cool bonuses from last year’s Halo Fest, with all proceeds going to Child’s Play! Go look, and bid! (Louis Wu 11:44:28 UTC)

Over at the 405th, nosaint posted pics of his Halo 4 MC Helmet… amazing. Thanks to Hypertrooper for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 11:43:40 UTC)

Edge let us know about the latest Halotracker Top 5 – July’s episode focuses on Betrayals. Oh, the humanity… (Louis Wu 11:42:21 UTC)

Over at Bungie.net, there’s a new Breaking In article – Chris Chambers is a Bungie specialist in filling bars. Go see what that means (and how he got where he is today)!(Louis Wu 23:54:59 UTC)

The Doctor will see you now…

We get news in a bunch of ways – we find it on outside sites, folks post it in our forum, folks mail it to bungie.org email addresses. It’s really important, though, that for the first two weeks of August, that you do not send email to the lwu address. It will not be read with any consistency (maybe not at all) between August 1 and August 15. Someone reported that they weren’t able to mail to the halo@bungie.org address – if this happens again, you should post news in our forum. Please keep this in mind – we’d hate for your cool Halo story to sit unattended for weeks! (Louis Wu 21:38:06 UTC)

Heh – freakinrad (the folks behind Halo vs Predator) have released The Spartan Shuffle… showing you how the Spartan dances. Thanks, MASSAIKUR.(Louis Wu 16:53:25 UTC)

If you’re going to be in Tokyo or Osaka at the end of August, you’ve got a shot at playing some Halo 4 – it’ll be present at the Xbox 360 Summer Festival on August 24-25 (in Tokyo) and September 1 (in Osaka). Nice! Thanks, Beckx.(Louis Wu 15:33:06 UTC)

To follow up their RTX wrap up, Halo Waypoint has posted a wrapup from San Diego Comic-Con (you can watch it on their website, or on YouTube) – awesome summary of the multi-day event! (Thanks to Laird for the HBO shout-out!)(Louis Wu 23:11:47 UTC)

davidfuchs pointed out that Forward Unto Dawn (the site, not the movie) has finally created an archive for all of their articles – swing by and check it out, it’s likely you’ll find something cool you haven’t read yet!(Louis Wu 23:06:54 UTC)
