Halo: Team Noble
Hmm. Shadders noticed another fan-driven movie Kickstarter project… they’re ambitious. VERY ambitious. Halo: Team Noble is looking to raise half a million dollars in the next month – you can watch their video to see why they think they need that much. I guess if you’re gonna go, go big.(Louis Wu 14:13:52 UTC)

I’ve Been Called Something of a Smart Glass too
Though we’ve seen the breadcrumbs already, with bits shown at E3, Microsoft’s Don Mattrick recently confirmed that Halo 4 will “work with Surface” in some undisclosed way. Surface if you are unfamiliar is MS’ new upcoming tablet platform. Will be interesting to see further word on how Halo 4 will come into play!(GrimBrother One 12:59:11 UTC)

Halo 4 – RTX Multiplayer Discussion: Goofy and Bravo
Looks like Bravo’s bored with the standard interview protocol – check out his latest offering. He sits down with pro player Goofy to discuss impressions from RTX… in a bathrobe. Eating room service. (Great interview.) Thanks, Nando13.(Louis Wu 16:27:12 UTC)

How to Sneaky Cap
CyReN pointed out a short clip from Status Quo’s Flamesword that shows a pretty funny flag cap (with commentary) – the gameplay at the start of the match is amazing, but the cap itself is worth watching. (He’s right – this will almost never work… but man, when it does…) (Louis Wu 16:02:44 UTC)

Bow chicka wow wow
If you were at RTX this weekend, or watched the live stream on the internet, you might have already seen this… but the 6th episode of Red vs Blue Season 10 was released to the public last night.

Take a Walk – A Halo: Reach/3 Montage
From FBWalshyFTW:This is a laid-back Halo: Reach/3 montage from Intactility, edited by himself, entitled, “Take a Walk.” The gameplay mainly consists of his leftovers, but they’re quite good nonetheless, showcasing a lot of sweet Multikills across the two games with a splash of funny, less common clips like a purple box splatter on Snowbound (there’s also a nice but almost painful to watch 2-for-1 Overkill Extermination choke at the end). The editing is simple, but it gets the job done, sporting a well-done intro and enough basic syncing to establish a solid flow. Enjoy!

Telikos Protocol Needs You
This is completely non-Halo-related, but it’s a new Kickstarter project from a Halo fan with some deep roots in our community, and it looks pretty amazing to boot, so we’re tossing in some love. Pete Cooper stopped in to let us know that he and artist Adam Burn are working on a graphic novel they call Telikos Protocol. If you visit the Kickstarter page, you can see a bunch of the artwork (astounding) and a video explaining how they hope the project will work. They’re looking to raise $9500, and one day in, they’re more than a quarter of the way there. (That should tell you something about the enthusiasm of the project’s fans!) Pete’s good people, and this project looks spectacular; if you’ve got a few bucks, toss ’em into the pot! If they don’t reach their goal, you’re not out a penny. And if they do, you have the satisfaction of knowing you helped launch something beautiful.(Louis Wu 15:50:14 UTC)
