Speaking of Halo Waypoint – if you visit today, there seems to be quite a bit of cool new content. Unfortunately, a Silverlight update my browsers prompted me for this morning has made much of it inaccessible. If you haven’t updated, though, Grifball Highlight Frenzy 8 went live on Friday, and you can watch all five games of the Instinct vs Infamous matchup at MLG Raleigh, back in August. An item that DOESN’T need Silverlight is the latest in-depth look at an asset from the Halo universe – this time around, it’s the Covenant Phantom. Great pics!(Louis Wu 16:57:33 UTC)

wheeler noticed some similarities between the AI assist in Edgeworld and another AI you might be familiar with…(Louis Wu 12:06:16 UTC)

Wow… the dedication of some Halo tricksters blows me away. Grumpy sent along a link to a YouTube video (and a corresponding jumprs.org thread) showing him using a Pelican on Delta Halo to make it (in a ghost) all the way to the middle tower. There are a few examples of missed bounces – makes it really clear just how ridiculous this stunt is! Go watch.(Louis Wu 12:05:45 UTC)

Sam Becker let us know that he took the Skull screenshots from the recent BTS video and matched them up with their actual names and effects. Swing by HaloEasterEggs.net to see (or don’t, if you’d rather figure them out on your own).(Louis Wu 12:04:25 UTC)

This week, we have the pleasure of having Waypoint Moderator and machinimator CruelLEGACEY on the show to talk about his recently concluded season 2 of Playtime. We talk about how he developed the idea behind season 2, how Playtime came to be, some of his Waypoint responsibilities, and more. And for the kids, we have a little mock interview with Cobra where we ask for his impressions on what happened during the series thus far. Enjoy

Edge let us know of Halotracker’s October Top 5 – it’s compiled from the Living Dead playlist. I totally wish I faced people like those in the first couple of clips… (Louis Wu 18:52:39 UTC)

Congratulations to GeneticSpartan, whose stop-motion film ‘The Rookie’ (we mentioned it last month) won the Halo Toymation contest at Mega Bloks. Congrats, also, to NXTManiac and Surferdad, who took spots 2 and 3, respectively – you can watch all the videos (prizewinners and finalists are marked) on the Toymation Contest page.

The latest episode of Fails of the Weak came out yesterday – as always, it’s full of funnies. You can watch it at AchievementHunter.com or YouTube – thanks, hezekiah.(Louis Wu 15:52:47 UTC)

Lordstemplar1 announced Blackstone Log 2 (it’s been a little while; we told you about the TRAILER for this project more than two and a half years ago). Worth watching, though – nicely filmed! (Takes a few bits from inspirations like Aliens, Predator, and Halo itself…) Go see.(Louis Wu 15:52:22 UTC)

You know you’re a success when your creation gets a page on TVTropes. The insanely addictive site has pulled out the tropes present in Leviathan’s A Fistful of Arrows – pretty cool! Thanks to Levi himself for the heads-up – he found out about it from a Twitter denizen @Tuckerscreator. (Louis Wu 15:51:04 UTC)

Lord Friendship brought to our attention a recent video by GameTrailers previewing Halo: Anniversary. If you are staying dark until release, you may want to avoid this one, as it does highlight a potential Terminal location. Otherwise, go check it out!(GrimBrother One 15:46:09 UTC)

Don’t miss the latest episode of G4’s “Feedback”, featuring 343 Industries’ Frank O’Connor talking about the Halo Franchise and the impending release of Halo: Anniversary. It clocks in at just under an hour total. Definitely give it a listen! Thanks to doober187 for telling us about it.(GrimBrother One 15:39:44 UTC)

Assuming you are a fan of awesome stuff, you’ll definitely want to go and check out Leviathan’s latest Fistful of Arrows Adjunct piece, this one focusing on the city of Quezon. Absolutely beautiful art, and great story elements as well. Don’t miss it!(GrimBrother One 15:36:02 UTC)

In case you haven’t seen it yet, definitely check out this awesome gameplay trailer from the upcoming “High Noon/Hang ‘Em High” map shipping with Halo: Anniversary. Some gorgeous footage in there, and some nods to what’s possible in Forge for the map as well. Go give it a look!(GrimBrother One 15:31:10 UTC)

Good ol’ Rockslider stopped in to let us know that he has set up a very cool guide over at Bad Cyborg showing you how to steal Jun’s Falcon in Halo:Reach and take it for a spin. Very cool stuff, go and check it out!(GrimBrother One 15:27:37 UTC)
