  • Achievement HORSE 67

  • PGCR 108

    robowski sent word of Post Game Carnage Report 108 – lots of Halo discussion, including speculation about a 1v1 playlist in Halo 4. NSFW, as usual. Go listen! (Louis Wu 14:20:34 UTC)

  • Repopulate Halo 3 – April 7

    A couple of weeks ago, we got a note from Chris, letting us know about an event being planned by the Halo subcommunity at Reddit. On April 7, there will be a push to repopulate the Halo 3 servers and revisit this classic (and still-online!) title. We held off on posting news about for fear of letting people know in time to forget. However, it’s beginning to catch on in other parts of the Halo community, so maybe now’s a good time. Greenskull has just posted a video exhorting you to participate – go watch! (While you’re watching Greenskull, he also posted a video summarizing the Wraparound info from the Halo Bulletin – you know, in case you don’t actually read.) (Louis Wu 14:12:20 UTC)

  • Coming Soon: Halo Bulletins With Less ‘Coming Soon’!

    As if bs angel doesn’t already enjoy using that phrase enough, last night she caressed our eye holes with a new Halo Bulletin featuring some neat tidbits of information on the Halo 4 multiplayer map Wraparound, a couple community questions answered, and doughnuts. And since I’m feeling particularly affectionate towards Wu today, check it: local yo. Go give it a look!(GrimBrother One 14:05:07 UTC)

  • Halo: As Fragile as Two Bricks Tied Together With Tissue Paper

    General Vagueness showed us a recent article over at the Halo Fanon Wiki titled “Halo: Ruined FOREVER“. It’s not what you think; it’s actually a pretty funny satirical piece that will make a lot of long-time Halo fans (and more specifically, Halo forum-goers) giggle with understanding. The article features a good quote from GV himself, as well as mentioning some other pieces connected to HBO members. Go and check it out!(GrimBrother One 13:49:19 UTC)

  • See Frankie’s Head in Even MORE Detail

    We’ve mentioned the recent “Working at 343 Industries” video before, but GrimBrother IV noticed that it was now in glorious high-definition. It’s still a great watch, and if you hadn’t seen it before, here’s your reminder! (GrimBrother One 13:45:39 UTC)

  • Griftastrophe

    uberfoop shared with us a proud moment in a recent game of Grifball. It looks like he was playing against a team made up entirely of me. Check it – wait, is that a Taco I see in there?(GrimBrother One 13:39:30 UTC)

  • Halo 3D Modeling Project

    We got a note from orecus – he’s part of the Halo: The Fallen fan film project, and he sent us a link to some of his latest work on a Halo ring model. Pretty impressive!(Louis Wu 18:30:09 UTC)

    From Gubreez:

    I made these to add to all the Wheatley and Spark artwork found on deviantART. Wheatley was made out of felt, and Spark was made out of cardboard and foam. Enjoy!

    From SillyGooseGaming:

    Well, I have to say this is one of the most enjoyable montages that I’ve made in awhile. I think because the music is just a little different and the gameplay is beast. I hope you enjoy!

  • Halo IRL: Nightfall Forklift Glitch


    Halo is a fictional universe. However, sometimes we catch sight of things in real life that remind us of our favorite science fiction video game franchise. This particular series, titled Halo in Real Life, showcases those very moments. Enjoy the subtle Halo references sometimes spotted when out and about in the real world, and if you have a picture you’d like to submit for possible future inclusion, send it to bsangel[at]halowaypoint.com!

    It’s like getting stuck between a rock and a hard place. Just without the hard place….


  • Halo Documentary

    Huh. There’s a passionate group of gamers turned filmmakers who want to show you how Halo has changed the world of gaming, and our culture – and they’ve turned to Kickstarter as a way to make it happen. They need $80,000, and they’ve given themselves just over a month to collect it. Swing by the page and read about the project (they’ve also got a Facebook page and a Twitter feed, though it seems to have been suspended) – see if you think they’re worth tossing some cash to! Remember: Kickstarter projects require full funding before any money is collected; if you pledge some money, and they don’t hit their $80,000 goal, you’re not out a penny. Thanks to CYBRFRK for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 16:44:34 UTC)
