CruelLEGACEY let us know that the end-of-the-year wrapup Waypoint Community Modcast Episode 8 is now online – 2 hours of Skyrim discussion, with a hint of Halo.(Louis Wu 16:52:12 UTC)

At PAX Prime, back in August, 343 Industries showed off a concept art trailer for Halo 4 that ended with a sequence that was hard to see – but fans immediately separated it out into its component frames and compiled it into a coherent image. And that’s where things stood… until Leviathan pointed out a YouTube vid he just stumbled across that makes a pretty good case for where the teaser image might have come from. The only problem… the source seems to be some fan art HE (Leviathan) created! (And back in February, to boot!) I’m sure the teaser image will turn out to be something completely different – but it’s pretty amusing, all the same.(Louis Wu 15:11:27 UTC)

Prime999r stopped in to let us know that Decline Part B is live. (We mentioned Part 1 back in November.) It’s in French, and though it has English subtitles, the translation… leaves something to be desired. It’s pretty hard to follow what’s going on if you don’t speak French. Cinematography’s pretty nice, though!(Louis Wu 14:52:45 UTC)

After two weeks of totally empty Fan Fiction submission queues, there is a single piece available for your reading pleasure – check it out!(Louis Wu 14:46:04 UTC)

Wait, what? Rockslider managed to find an extra Jun in Winter Contingency. Just in case, you know, you liked his cooking.(Louis Wu 20:56:29 UTC)

Achievement Hunter has put together their Top 10 Easter Eggs of 2011 – Halo: Anniversary made the list at #4. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 18:09:32 UTC)

Feeling the need for new action figures on your shelf? McFarlane’s got just the thing for you, coming out in February… and Halo Waypoint can show you what you’re in for. Pretty hot stuff!(Louis Wu 18:00:59 UTC)

Eep – I completely missed the fact that yesterday’s Primordium excerpt was actually this week’s Halo Bulletin – it’s now been added to our Halo Bulletin Archive. Sorry for the delay!(Louis Wu 16:15:17 UTC)

It’s been a little while, but Anoj is back with a new Halo Reach Top 10 vid – this time he looks at Epic Fails. I particularly enjoyed the Ninja on Uncaged. (Louis Wu 16:02:19 UTC)

hezekiah dropped in to let us know about the most recent Achievement PIG (AH.com | YouTube), a competition between Jack and Marshall. Who played who? You decide. (Louis Wu 16:00:13 UTC)

Over at NeoGAF, wwm0nkey pointed out a pretty cool looking Reach mod that adds the Portal gun to your Halo arsenal. Makes me wish modded boxes weren’t so frowned-upon! (Louis Wu 15:57:38 UTC)

Want to get a head-start on Primordium, the next novel from Greg Bear (due out in January)? Tor.com has the Prologue and Chapter 1 online, and Halo Waypoint has Chapter 2. Nice! (Thanks, Archilen.) Update: Looks like Chapters 3 and 4 are in that Waypoint article, as well. Thanks, Nikko B201.(Louis Wu 18:17:19 UTC)

Forward Unto Dawn has released their second podcast – it’s focused on Glasslands. (In fact, it could be subtitled ‘The Bash Halsey Edition’.) There are also chances to win free goodies – read the newspost for full details!(Louis Wu 17:02:26 UTC)

Dennis Powers sent word that Fearless Chapter Seventeen is now online – the rescue continues. Will they make it out?(Louis Wu 17:00:20 UTC)
