    Those wacky guys at AchievementHunter have put together another ‘Things to Do In’ video – and this one is Halo-related. Gavin introduces Geoff to something he calls ‘Bum Bait’ (YouTube | AH.com)… and you have to watch the video to see what it’s all about. Pretty funny stuff! Thanks, SNIPE 316.(Louis Wu 12:57:36 UTC)

    The Lionheart ran across the personal page of a guy who does 3D art for DICE, by day… and lots and lots of Halo concepts on his own time. Very cool! (Fair warning – there are a couple of nudes in the portfolio, as well.)(Louis Wu 12:50:52 UTC)

    OboeCrazy stopped in to announce a new Kickstarter program; she’d love to make Oboe music in cool places (especially married to videogames, Halo in particular), but needs your help to afford equipment and travel expenses! Go read the page for full details – and remember, like any Kickstarter project, she only gets funded if her pledge level reaches her goal. You can get her there!(Louis Wu 12:48:11 UTC)

    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!

    kornman00 wanted to let us know about the newest issue of Game Developer Magazine, which runs a regular feature called “Postmortem” (not that one), where a developer breaks down their recent release to talk about the nuts and bolts of what went right, and what went wrong. It’s always a great read with excellent insight into the more technical aspects of putting a game together. This month focuses on none other than the recent Halo: Anniversary from 343 Industries & Sabre Interactive. For iOS users, kornman included a handy link to purchase a copy of the digital edition for yourself ($3.99 usd). For those of wu who prefer a less seedy route, RC Master was kind enough to give us a more “standard” link. Definitely go and check it out!(GrimBrother One 05:53:14 UTC)

    The fine forum folk over at NeoGAF have been a buzzing a bit with some neat tidbits from around the web. Here is a selection of their sleuthing…

    • Hitmonchan107 found an interesting article from VG24/7 with a few comments from former Bungie founder Alex Seropian (in the news a fair bit lately, ‘eh?) talking about his high hopes for Halo’s future with 343 Industries.
    • Homeboyd noticed what looks to be a preview for a special OXM UK publication titled “Halo: The Game that Changed the World.”
    • Meanwhile VivaciousJazzy wanted to make everyone aware of… well, of this. Don’t feel awkward, I couldn’t stop watching either.

    Go have a look!(GrimBrother One 05:25:36 UTC)

    From AgentPaperCraft:

    Test Night with Crafty is a weekly event dedicated to the forgers of Waypoint as convenient means of testing content for matchmaking consideration. It is also a great way to get constructive feedback on your map variants and game types. Your content will be observed by a secret member who reviews and suggests maps for matchmaking; this could mean thousands may eventually battle on your creations!

    Last week’s event was amazing. Please join us this week as we test large-scale Invasion and 6 v. 6 Invasion game types.

    From BAKSMAK:

    These clips are all from around the time the MLG playlist came out until about the end of last August. So, about
    nine(-ish) months of clips. When getting these clips, I was by no means a “montager,” but I still am really happy and proud of what I have.

    Something I really tried to focus on in this montage was variety, so you won’t see a ton of Sniper Exterms (although you’ll see some) but instead you will see a balance of sniper clips, DMR clips, and something I really enjoy to watch, two-for-ones. Not only did I try and have some clip variety, I tried to have map variety as well. I didn’t want an all Sanctuary montage like most MLG montages, so you’ll see about as many Countdown and Zealot clips as you do Sanctuary clips.

    I genuinely hope that each and everyone of you enjoys this and as always, feedback is very much appreciated!
