    Halo: Reach Playdate - jggh Games



    From petetheduck:

    I have been toying around with the idea of puzzles that can only be solved in Forge mode. This is a simple introduction to that concept; on the rock spire in Forge World sits a single Warthog. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to destroy that Warthog.

    There are no rules; destroy the Warthog by any means necessary. However, that is not to say I am going to make it easy. The Warthog is encased in shield walls. You are also prevented from approaching the Warthog by a teleporter barrier that cannot be deleted, marked by the blue line in the water. I’ve also taken measures to prevent use of the ‘delete all’ ability.

    You can download the map here: Forge Challenge. If you do destroy the Warthog, I’d love to see your film clip! For more details about submitting a clip, visit www.idleduck.com.

    From FBWalshyFTW:

    This is Muggsy’s second Halo: Reach montage, edited by Muggsy himself. The gameplay’s good, showcasing many sweet Overkills. As usual, Muggsy delivers, demonstrating a very proficient mastery of establishing flow with great syncing, theater work, and effect usage. Enjoy!

    Chibi Master Chief Plush



    From Higginstuff:

    This Master Chief plush is the original green, and he is made entirely from super soft minky fabric. He is approximately 10 inches tall, and his arms have joints in them so they can move up and down. I really love how this plush turned out. He is sooo soft!

    Editor’s note: WANT.

  • PGCR 103

    Post Game Carnage Report Episode 103 has been released – lots of Halo discussion. (Check out their Facebook page, too!) (Louis Wu 07:26:37 UTC)

  • New Shotgun and Sniper from Down Under

    DaFrontlineTrooper continues to work on new weapon props – his latest are versions of the Shotgun and Sniper. Thanks, robofin117.(Louis Wu 07:26:20 UTC)

  • Teaser Galaxy Map

    Stephen Loftus posted a sample of his Halo Galaxy map – pretty mindblowing stuff! Take a look.(Louis Wu 07:26:01 UTC)

  • Of Wings and Popcorn

    The latest Halo Bulletin is up – and it takes the recent Super Bowl as a metaphor for Halo’s current place in your life. We’re at halftime, folks. (I’m not sure whether that means that we’re getting ready to gear up again after a quiet time… or if they’re subtly telling us that Halo’s got another 10 years left in it.) There’s some stuff about stats (it’s unclear whether the voices of those who worry about the impending shutdown of Bungie.net’s Halo stats have been heard), some stuff about credits you can earn, some info from Frankie about his activities these past few weeks, and some questions from fans. Go read! (It’s in our Halo Bulletin Archive, too, if you’d rather read it there.)(Louis Wu 02:51:43 UTC)

  • Drunken Halo: Episode 36

  • Design by Numbers: Simultaneous Perception

    Jaime Griesemer posted a fascinating little piece on his blog last week – it involved the animations for Halo 3, and how 33 milliseconds can make the difference between immersion and discomfort. Give it a read! Thanks, The More Deluded.(Louis Wu 20:47:34 UTC)

  • Halo IRL: Maximum Security


    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!

  • Loving Halo from Slovakia

    Peter Trúchly is a Halo fan from Slovakia – he runs a website called Stosedemnásť (Google doesn’t know how to translate that). He has a collection of Halo goodies that would make a STATESIDE fan proud – I can’t even imagine what it takes to get hold of all of that stuff in Slovakia. His pride and joy, though, is a metal case that some local magazines received Halo: Reach in for review – pretty cool! If you know more about this case, contact him via his website, and let him know; he’s curious!(Louis Wu 14:03:56 UTC)
