Inside Gaming seemed to get some direct feed footage (Part 1 | Part 2) from the after-hours Halo 4 event at SDCC – the gameplay leaves a bit to be desired, but the quality of the video is light-years above all of the off-center, offscreen footage we’ve seen this week. (Actually, watching the second part suggests this is offscreen footage; you can see his hand pointing at one point. Awesome setup, in that case.) Thanks, CyReN.(Louis Wu 16:56:50 UTC)

Heh – nice. CixaleaJwan took the song (and the plot) from the classic ‘The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny’ (if you’ve never seen it, you’ve missed a critical bit of internet geekery), and matched it all to clips from recent seasons of Red vs Blue. It works surprisingly well! Thanks, MissZahrah.(Louis Wu 16:55:32 UTC)

Heh – Nexy got a little drunk, go watch some after-hours shenanigans with Bravo (and bs angel). Thanks CyReN. (Louis Wu 16:54:43 UTC)

The official press release for the Halo 4 Limited Edition Console bundle can be found on Halo Waypoint (among other places). Go read it to prepare. Fake Update: looks like Waypoint might be having some trouble today – here’s the same thing at Major Nelson’s site. Lots more pictures in MN’s Flickr stream. (Louis Wu 16:54:00 UTC)

Nexy put together a quick list of the most important tidbits he heard this week at SDCC – go listen! Thanks, CyReN.(Louis Wu 16:52:01 UTC)

mastrbiggy, Tex, and Domino Theory spent their last day at San Diego Comic-Con taking lots of pictures, and one cool video. You can see everything they posted on our Event Coverage page. The video, showing some new objective-specific assassinations, has been turned into a 1.5mb perspective-corrected GIF by NeoGAF’s Computron – very, very cool. (It’s blurry – but hey, biggy was WAAY off-center when he filmed it in the first place.)

The full (official recording of the) Halo 4 Fiction panel from SDCC has been posted by Halo Waypoint (on YouTube) – go watch the 52-minute discussion! Thanks, Vire.(Louis Wu 22:33:37 UTC)

Frank O’Connor sat down with Gamespot for a pre-panel interview about Halo 4; it showed on their live feed. iPlayGamezTV was the first to put this up in archived form. Good info here! Thanks, CyReN. Update: two key questions were cut from the beginning of this video – sltPoison was kind enough to upload just those questions. For posterity, you know.(Louis Wu 21:58:10 UTC)

The latest Arby ‘n’ the Chief Bytes has Master Chief giving you an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an amazing opportunity. Thanks, Ogan Pavano.(Louis Wu 21:57:43 UTC)

Anthony’s Customs has posted the first 12 minutes of the SDCC Halo Fiction panel (more coming soon, apparently) – go listen! Thanks to both CyReN and Grim.(Louis Wu 18:59:37 UTC)

Tom ‘TSquared’ Taylor sat down with Frank O’Connor last night and asked a lot of questions, while Frank tried his best not to die while answering. (He was playing Halo 4 at the same time.) Great interview! Thanks, Vire.(Louis Wu 18:53:08 UTC)

Our intrepid reporters on the ground were also at the VIP party last night – swing by our Event Coverage page for a bunch of photos (and impressions) from mastrbiggy and Tex. You guys rock!(Louis Wu 14:50:02 UTC)

Edge sent word of a new community montage from Halotracker – footage comes from both Halo 3 and Reach, and is quite watchable. Go see! (Louis Wu 14:48:40 UTC)

CyReN pointed out some videos from a guy named WatermelonWizards – he interviewed Frank at the VIP party last night (it’s really, really, REALLY hard to hear what they’re saying), and he filmed the HBO/GAF vs 343 (with Bravo) Challenge Match that took place at the event. (Fans kicked butt. Bravo only stepped in near the end of the match, when Frank had to do something else… but his pro skillz weren’t enough to turn the tide.) NeoGAF’s voltron64 also filmed the game; hopefully we’ll have his video at some point, too. (Louis Wu 14:46:04 UTC)

Last night, Machinima posted their Comic-Con Day 2 Live Stream – it contains a great interview with folks from the Forward Unto Dawn cast (and crew). It’s an enormous video (nearly 3 hours), so to save you some time, the FUD interview kicks off at 1:27:00, and ends around 1:39:30. Thanks, CyReN.(Louis Wu 14:38:43 UTC)

Nevin ‘CruelLEGACEY’ Douglas has posted an article covering his day in Vancouver in May – full of impressions of the set and what they saw. Great stuff!(Louis Wu 14:17:46 UTC)

Halo After Dawn with Sark and Kovic is a new Machinima Prime series – Episode 1 has FUD director Stewart Hendler breaking down the trailer. Good watch! Thanks, Ogan Panavo.(Louis Wu 14:11:57 UTC)

shiruken sent word of Outpost: Isil Season 2, Episode 5 – Project Juggernaut comes to light! Go watch.(Louis Wu 14:07:15 UTC)
