    mothergoat hasn’t been around a lot – but he stopped by yesterday to announce his latest iPhone/iPod/iPad game called Sticky Bees (also in HD). You might think this has nothing to do with Halo… but you’d be wrong. Go grab a copy, and play! (Louis Wu 17:05:30 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 a laid-back Halo 3 montage from Mudraxx, edited by Magix, entitled “Small Bump.” The gameplay is mainly social, and it features some ridiculous Multikills involving 360 snipes along with a sweet Killionaire finish. The simple editing complements the relaxed soundtrack well, mainly relying on simple angles and the basic fast forward effect to sync things while keeping the gameplay intact. Enjoy!

    From Slightly Live:

    Slightly Live (Dani) joins Postmortem (Isaac) and DangerousDave (Dave?) to talk about the Terminals from Halo Anniversary. Recorded back-to-back with the previous podcast, the recording pre-dates the publication of the latest Halo novel, Primordium. Don’t listen to the very end. There’s nothing at all after the music ends. Just stop your music player at that point. Please….

    Thanks to Hypertrooper, who brought the word to HaloGAF of the finnish magazine Pelaaja reporting that news on Halo 4 would be revealed at the Xbox Spring Showcase on February 29. While it’s certainly still just a rumor, it’s a tantalizing one to think that new goodies might be so close at hand!(GrimBrother One 15:01:58 UTC)

    DayandKnightly has put the first official piece of content up on his new fiction-deciphering website, Reactive Bias. This new addition is Part I of his look at the novel Halo: Contact Harvest, and it’s a fantastic look at some things you might not have caught the first time around. Whether you are new to the Halo fiction or not, it’s a great refresher on some of the excellent details of the universe. Check it out! (GrimBrother One 14:30:52 UTC)

    Every once in a while, someone creates a minigame in Forge that shows just how flexible the engine can be, when confronted with enough creativity. pete_the_duck stopped in yesterday to announce Minesweeper… which, amazingly, works the same in Halo: Reach as it does on your PC. My jaw is officially dropped. (Louis Wu 13:53:46 UTC)

  • Halo Data to migrate from B.net before April

    If you swing by Bungie.net, you’ll see a new article – it puts a final date on the live Halo data they’ll be able to manage. That date is March 31 – after that point, all stats (and any other online features related to Halo games) will be found only on Halo Waypoint. Here’s hoping that Waypoint stats can be fleshed out a bit more, and features like film clips and screenshots can be migrated by then! (Historical data isn’t going anywhere; Bungie will continue to maintain what they already have online. They simply will not be adding NEW data after that date.)(Louis Wu 19:45:14 UTC)
