    Nikko B201 let us know yesterday that he’d overhauled his ‘Minecraft Classic Alpha Halo’ area – a Minecraft play area which takes all kinds of inspiration from Halo. His post gives you instructions on how to spawn yourself into the map – but if you’re not a Minecraft player, and just want to see what he’s done, he’s posted a Photobucket gallery, showing off a couple of dozen shots. Take a look! (Louis Wu 22:30:31 UTC)

    MaxRealflugel has reopened The Secrets Within with a new article that speculates about the psychological states of the Master Chief and Cortana in the upcoming Halo 4. I’m not sure I buy some of his assumptions… but it’s an interesting read. (He warns that output will be slower than it was before the recent closure – so savor this.) (Louis Wu 22:18:45 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!

    From FBWalshyFTW:

    This is the fifth installment of tranQ’s Halo community montage series “tranQ & Friends,” featuring gameplay from himself and the rest of the Halo community. As usual, the video showcases a nice mix of clips across several Halos, game types, and maps, and the editing is simple. I thought that the gameplay cut too quickly through the footage at times, but the syncing is great and the flow is still good overall. Enjoy!

    Major Nelson tweeted about a pretty sweet deal on the Games on Demand version of Halo: Reach – it’s under $15, with shipping! (Don’t ask why you need to pay shipping on a downloadable code. The answer will just make your head hurt.) If you follow the ‘5 new’ link on that page, you can save another $0.75 or so, even. Thanks, Beckx.(Louis Wu 15:55:50 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.

    Goose Checka let us know that she’s looking to harvest the contents of your brain for her doctoral dissertation. (You didn’t know she was working on a doctorate? YEAH, SHE’S SMART.) The survey has a bunch of questions about your gaming habits and personality. Yeah, it’ll take you a little while… but don’t worry, she knows you value your time, and she’s got 4 Amazon gift cards ($60 each) to give away to random survey responders! Not too shabby. All you need is to be 18 years old, and to have a Raptr account (if you don’t have one, she even provides you a link to set one up – they’re free). Go help do science!(Louis Wu 18:48:01 UTC)
