If you like Hedgemony pano creations, swing by this post – there are a couple of vertical beauties.(Louis Wu 18:15:37 UTC)

Kermit wants you to Co-Op with him (or near him) – and he wants to give you a chance to win a prize, too. Check the post for details (and an awesome panorama from Hedgemony). (Louis Wu 18:08:47 UTC)

Jada Toys will be releasing die-cast vehicles in autumn 2012, according to this piece at ToyNews. w00t! (Frankie says they make you feel like a kid again. Unless you ARE a kid, in which case they make you feel normal.) Thanks, ElzarTheBam.(Louis Wu 17:57:31 UTC)

Last week, Grim mentioned a live-action video created by FreddieW and crew – today, Ogan Panavo let us know about a Making-Of vid showing how they put it together. I laughed, AND learned stuff! Go watch.(Louis Wu 17:53:24 UTC)

Two recaps of community playtimes recently – Kermit went all out with his look back at the recent Co-op night on ODST’s Kikowani Station, and Hyokin shared some screens from last Friday’s Customs Night. Go live vicariously!(Louis Wu 19:57:22 UTC)

So it looks like someone is combining Sonic the Hedgehog and Halo – odd combo! Thanks, Ogan Pavano.(Louis Wu 19:42:16 UTC)

It’s the Holiday Season.

We posted copies of the Halo Anniversary cutscenes a week after the game was released (thanks, Dust Storm!), but thanks to some fancy-schmancy equipment that Cody Miller was able to get his hands on, we’re RE-releasing them today – the newest versions are recorded in full surround sound. (The interlacing is gone, as well, for folks looking to grab cleaner screenshots.) And if that weren’t enough, we’ve also posted the Halo Anniversary Terminals – all 11 of them. (These are not in Surround Sound, because they were presented in-game in standard stereo sound. But they’re still big and beautiful and fascinating.) Go indulge!(Louis Wu 20:17:39 UTC)

Halo Waypoint has posted a Behind the Scenes video showing how the site has evolved from its inception as a console portal for Halo content to a multiplatform all-inclusive Halo destination. If you’re having trouble with Silverlight, it’s available from Waypoint’s YouTube channel, as well.(Louis Wu 20:12:58 UTC)

Ogan Panavo sent us links to two new vids: Arby ‘n’ the Chief have a new episode of Hypermail (both characters take abuse from the fans, but respond differently), and a trailer for Dance Central: Halo has hit YouTube (it was originally an April Fools joke from 1UP). Go watch!(Louis Wu 20:09:16 UTC)

There are points throughout classic literature where a moment occurs that leaves an image burned into the psyche of our very existence, both as individuals and as a collective society. Moments like Hiro entering the Metaverse, the instantly-recognizable wax seal of The Scarlet Pimpernel, or that one unimaginably disturbing cover variant from The Two Towers. Well folks, prepare to make room for another collection of memory-forging moments for your mind to marinate on. HBO, BCKX-TV, and their sponsors, would like to present you with the Samurai Fronk Finale. If you don’t like this series, you may be in danger of suddenly developing an allergy to water. Thanks a ton to Hedgemony, who keeps that fish-faced love train rolling. Go enjoy it yourself!(GrimBrother One 18:01:15 UTC)

Lord Friendship got some information back from Bungie that has led him to call for help with a BOB quest. Check out his post for full details – and if you’ve been bitten by the curiosity bug as well, jump in and lend a hand!(Louis Wu 15:37:09 UTC)

We mentioned Part 1 of G4TV’s “How To Build the Best Multiplayer FPS Maps” round table – we forgot to go back and read Part 2, which came out on Friday. This installment covers player tactics, game modes, and map experience. Great read!(Louis Wu 15:33:03 UTC)

Barrow Roll, over at NeoGAF, and Revenant1988, on our own forum, both pointed out a Left 4 Dead fan film that might be interesting to Halo fans. (You’ll definitely enjoy it more if you don’t read the comments first.) Pretty high production values!(Louis Wu 15:20:59 UTC)

Rooster Teeth’s RvB MIA has its conclusion up at Halo Waypoint right now – will the crew find Grif? Will they find anyone else? When is a ransom note note a ransom note? These questions, and more, are answered in this week’s episode!(Louis Wu 16:20:41 UTC)

Fails of the Weak volume 65 is live (AH.com or YouTube) – if you feel like you can’t escape the Skyrim knee arrow meme, don’t watch this. Thanks, Moorpheusl9.(Louis Wu 16:08:09 UTC)
