Chubby Flag Girl
Usually, meme-based photoshops are good for a smile, at best… but I saw one on GAF this morning that made me burst out laughing. That Chubby Bubbles Girl has never been funnier!(Louis Wu 16:29:42 UTC)

The Fallen Needs Your Help – This Week!
Whoa. I’ve been keeping an eye on the Kickstarter page for The Fallen, the Halo fan film project we most recently mentioned last week (and which we added a sidebar link to as well) – there’s just one week left in their fundraising cycle, and as of yesterday, it wasn’t looking great. However, overnight they’ve received a $5,000 pledge, putting them less than $2,000 from their goal – it’s in reach! And you can help! Swing by, pledge a few bucks. 100 fans pledging $20 each would do the trick – and if the project is funded, that $20 would net you an 11×17 poster to boot. The trailers they’ve released so far (they’re linked from their Kickstarter page) show real promise – see if you can help make this project a reality! Update: YOU DID IT! As of the time of this update (4:30pm, they’ve passed the $10,000 mark! You guys rock.(Louis Wu 13:12:54 UTC)

How about a ‘Team Ordinance Drop’?
RC Master decided to take a look at ordnance drops, and see if he could come up with a way that would make them seem fairer to him than what we’ve seen so far in Halo 4. Interesting read!(Louis Wu 13:09:14 UTC)

Halo 4 Music, Collected
YouTube user Tridyrium has collected all the Halo 4 music heard so far into a single playlist – while you’ve probably listened to the older stuff by now, the newest finds (recorded off Halo Waypoint’s Xbox 360 portal) are quite possibly new for you. Requiem, in specific, is spectacular. Go explore!(Louis Wu 19:39:58 UTC)

Riches available on Halo 4 subsite
We’ve mentioned the Xbox LIVE Marketplace Halo 4 portal before, but it’s worth mentioning again – there’s an awful lot going on there. The background audio tells some really interesting stories (kelticking provides a direct link if you want to grab a local copy)… and if you’re patient, you might even see some ARG activity (General Vagueness filmed a little). Remember – the ARG itself is being discussed on args.bungie.org – go play along!(Louis Wu 19:35:31 UTC)

Still Waiting, Take 2
AssaultGodzilla told us that he’s remade an older Sum 41-tracked Halo Music Video that got lost when his old account was suspended. It’s been two years, so I don’t remember the details of the older version… but the new version is really well-timed (is this a surprise for an AssaultGozilla film, really?). Go watch!(Louis Wu 17:00:56 UTC)

MLG Anaheim 2012
CyReN pointed HaloGAF towards a fan-made event montage looking back on MLG Anaheim. It’s really nicely done, and notable for its LACK of Halo content. (Just a couple of seconds, total – Street Fighter gets as much airtime as Halo does. This makes me sad.) Worth watching, though. (Louis Wu 16:58:12 UTC)

Mail Sack 21 – Hiding in my Brain
On Friday, I read the latest Bungie Mail Sack, which was full of fun tidbits and the occasional Halo-related morsel. (Did you know that DeeJ hates Spartan Lasers? I did.) Maybe half a dozen times since, I’ve made a mental note to write up a small newspost about said Sack, to help spread the word of it. Each time, I’ve gotten distracted (SQUIRREL), and now it’s Sunday, and I STILL haven’t posted anything. So I’m posting. Go to Bungie.net, read the latest Mail Sack, and smile.(Louis Wu 16:47:03 UTC)
