Whoa. Rense de Boer (we’ve mentioned him before) recreated some Halo concept art in CryEngine 3 – amazing. Thanks, Computron.(Louis Wu 12:54:36 UTC)

Anoj is back with another Top 10 video – it’s WTF Moments (and yes, connection issues cause most of the weirdness), some of which are very funny. Thanks, Jordan Bell.(Louis Wu 12:52:41 UTC)

MixMaker1 let us know that he’s mashed up the audio from the new Assassin’s Creed trailer with The Commissioning, the live action Halo 4 short shown at E3 (with a bonus tossed in). Happy 4th of July, a little early!(Louis Wu 12:51:01 UTC)

Red vs Blue’s Season 10 continues – Episode 5, released last night, shows off a character we’ve seen a few times, but never really known. Go watch! (Louis Wu 12:50:06 UTC)

nomis78 stopped by to announce that Shadow of the Void (or Gravemind, as he goes by here at HBO) has rewritten his massive ‘Building the Ultimate Halo Game’ article (last seen about 3 years ago) and is releasing it in segments over at the Community Customs website. The introduction is up now. (Louis Wu 12:49:17 UTC)

From the Community, to the Community…

Rooster Teeth’s Burnie Burns was interviewed by Shira Lazar of What’s Trending – lots of Red vs Blue discussion, lots of Rooster Teeth stuff, and Elijah Wood! Go listen.(Louis Wu 22:11:40 UTC)

Tyrant’s Legendary Walkthrough of Halo Anniversary continues – the latest chapter is 343 Guilty Spark, and it shows (among other things) how to get the ‘Breaking Quarantine’ achievement without skipping any cutscenes! Go watch.(Louis Wu 14:50:38 UTC)

The Official Forward Unto Dawn trailer is available both on YouTube, or on Halo Waypoint (watch on your Xbox for higher resolution) – it’s short, it’s really just a teaser… but it’s got ME fired up! Enfinit started a thread on our forum, if you want to discuss it. (Louis Wu 14:16:03 UTC)

Dragonclaws is back with more feminist analysis – this time, she’s covering Halo: The Fall of Reach, as well as the Covenant color scheme. Go watch, throw in your two cents!(Louis Wu 14:13:56 UTC)

DeathMcGunz sent word of a new machinima he released last week – have you ever wondered how Reach figures out who to credit for simultaneous beatdowns? This video will show you.(Louis Wu 14:11:10 UTC)

Grumpy let us know that a Halo 2 trick long thought to be impossible (due to a death barrier) has been accomplished… the secrets of the Green Door on Sacred Icon are unveiled! Go watch his video to see how it was done. (Louis Wu 14:10:14 UTC)

343’s Chris Haluke (Halo 4 Lead Designer) spoke to GameReactor a few weeks ago at E3 – the interview went online this week. There’s not a lot that hasn’t been talked about by other people in other interviews – but you should listen just for the recap. Thanks, TheOddOne.(Louis Wu 22:20:15 UTC)

Method Studios, the FX house behind the Halo: Reach ‘Deliver Hope’ dazzle, was tapped again for the live-action Halo 4 trailer that showed at E3 this year – and if you swing by their website, you’ll find a fantastic summary of the process of building that trailer. It’s a really interesting read (and even contains a few small clues about Halo 4) – thanks to TheOddOne for finding it! (Louis Wu 14:44:09 UTC)

Halo Waypoint has posted a couple of videos from the after-hours event at E3 this year – these videos have been seen before, but not on Waypoint. Nice to have a permanent home for them!(Louis Wu 14:36:22 UTC)

Chris Bryan was one of the very first people to build fan-made Spartan Armor – we documented his work starting back in 2003. (He was building props even earlier.) Yesterday, we heard from him again – looks like Halo 4 has fired up his creative juices! He sent along this screenshot (larger version here), and tells us that he hopes the final product will be finished before November 6! Go Chris!(Louis Wu 14:25:22 UTC)

padraig08 wants to celebrate his birthday by giving you presents. But not FREE presents – you have to EARN them… with screenshots. Go read his post for details!(Louis Wu 14:18:56 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, JuanGGZ pointed out a Samsung ad that contains some very familiar art assets (but not TOO familiar…) – would you play this game?(Louis Wu 14:17:25 UTC)
