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)

HaLo2FrEeEk stopped back in with another spherical panorama – this time, he turned his talents on Reflection. Check out his post for an overhead preview, a link to a fully navigable version, and even a screensaver!(Louis Wu 18:53:44 UTC)

Dani found a fan-made History of the Flood – looks like the Crysis engine was used. Intriguing! (Louis Wu 18:53:22 UTC)

Firestorm12 released Issue #16 of War (or War) yesterday – never take matters into your own hands.(Louis Wu 18:53:03 UTC)

Podtacular’s Dust Storm sent word that CruelLEGACY would be joining him this evening to discuss Playtime. There’s not a lot of time left (my fault, sorry), but you can send questions to him that can be asked on the show.(Louis Wu 18:52:37 UTC)

Four new pieces up for you in the Fan Fiction section this week. Go read.(Louis Wu 18:52:16 UTC)

Delayed quite a bit due to new spam software on the servers here, but Dennis Powers wanted you to know that Chapter Eight of The Halo CE Chronicles: Fearless is now live. Problems for the Search and Rescue team, life tidbits for the Chief Engineer.(Louis Wu 15:23:48 UTC)

It’s not a total shock that in a song called ‘Nerd Rage‘, Halo makes an appearance (1:41 in). (Song’s pretty funny.) Thanks, Ogan Panavo.(Louis Wu 13:05:55 UTC)

X-Play has a 3-minute preview of Halo: Anniversary – and it includes some exclusive footage from Truth & Reconciliation. Take a look! Thanks, Hypertrooper.(Louis Wu 12:35:46 UTC)

Want help on finishing this week’s LASO challenge in record time? Nak3d Eli posted a super-fast run, clocking in at 8:49 and using a couple of techniques I haven’t seen before. If you’re a purist, and you want do to this with the Blind Skull on (it’s not needed for the LASO challenge, but it’s certainly necessary for a real Mythic run), RC Master recently posted a 9:16 full SLASO run on High Speed Halo. Either way – a sub-10-minute run means a LOT of credits for a tiny amount of time!(Louis Wu 12:04:39 UTC)
