Zero Shot Two Betrayals, Legendary, 17.5 mins
slYnki stopped by a few days ago to announce a zero-shot speedrun through Two Betrayals… on Legendary. Grenades, melees, and splatters only. It’s amazing to watch. (He also linked to a similar Library run. I’m in awe.)(Louis Wu 14:16:13 UTC)

Samurai Fronk – Returning in May, but not here
Hedgemony has decided that the next episode of Samurai Fronk will NOT be posted on HBO – this makes me sad. On the plus side, though, he’s put up some promo pieces that he posted on Twitter last week – I’m really looking forward to this! Should be out in late May. (Louis Wu 14:01:47 UTC)

Halo 4 Preview from the Daily News
The New York Daily News had a piece on Halo 4 – they had a representative at the event in New York City last week, and you can read about both Multiplayer and the campaign demo shown at the event. (The demo showed off 5 or 10 minutes of gameplay from near the start of the game; there are really not many spoilers in there, but if you want to go into Halo 4’s campaign with zero information, you should probably skip this.(Louis Wu 13:57:38 UTC)

Color me Impressed
A fan named Ahst ‘Zar Traotee sent in some pretty neat pieces of fan art you should take a look at. It takes some familiar Halo characters and puts a pretty peculiar spin on them, but a fun one nonetheless. Check out Friendship is Noble, Little Shop of Halo, and Wicked Witch. Fun stuff!(GrimBrother One 13:35:47 UTC)

Worlds Colliding
Leading off today is something is something very cool that Sl’askia found while perusing DeviantArt. It’s a collection of artwork showing some very well-known video-gaming heroes and heroines working together against some pretty big odds.

MLG Reduces Its Reach
Some interesting news for the competitive scene as RC Master brought word to our forum that MLG recently announced that while Halo: Reach will be apart of it’s offerings in the Spring Season, it won’t be apart of the Live events; it will be an online tournament only. It will certainly be interesting to watch as this unfolds to see how not only the community responds, but what might change (if anything) when Halo 4 is released. What do you think?(GrimBrother One 14:54:09 UTC)
