Spartan Cosplay
nam found a cool video from Otakuthon 2011 in Montreal – starting at about 1:45 is a fun little enactment by a pair of Spartans. Check it! (If people around you have sensitive ears, turn the volume down; the song’s lyrics are not very SFW.) (Louis Wu 21:54:24 UTC)

HCEA Promo Screens
Joystiq posted a few new pics of Halo Anniversary (thanks, macgyver10), and so did Game Informer (larger, but still scaled down – thanks, TDSpiral). You guys should have the FULL-sized versions, with NO watermarks – so we’ve put them up that way. Enjoy. (This collection contains both older and newer promo shots.)(Louis Wu 21:51:29 UTC)

Achievement Horse – Halo Fest Edition
7he grunt w/a plasma pistol pointed out the Halo Fest edition of Achievement HORSE – it shows how the office staff handled the track they brought with them to Halo Fest (to raise money for Child’s Play). I played it, and I fell off – a lot. Kudos to those who finished it! (It’s on YouTube, too – thanks, hezekiah.)(Louis Wu 21:50:25 UTC)

WRAITH! (From SC Johnson, a Family Company)
If you were at Halo Fest and watched the Halo Universe panel with Marty O’Donnell and some key Halo voice actors (or watched it on IGN), you might have wished you had cleaner copies of the audio outtakes Marty played. Well, wish no more – Marty has provided them for you. We’ve put up a page containing all of the files he played – you can listen to Tim Dadabo’s contributions to Oni, or Steve Downes acting like a Scum Townie, or Pete Stacker taking NONE of this seriously (but sounding awesome all the same).(Louis Wu 01:39:28 UTC)

Riot Fest – if you couldn’t be there
Dani pointed out a link to Riot Fest – the Running Riot podcast that took place over the Halo Fest weekend. (We’d mentioned it before it happened, but it’s online now.) 3 hours of Ketey goodness! (Louis Wu 20:00:24 UTC)

Nice bonus for UK Anniversary Preorders
It looks like if you’re in the UK, and you pre-order Halo Anniversary from Gamestation or GAME, you’ll pick up a free special edition of ‘The Art of Building Worlds’. (It’s 24 pages culled from the full 400-page hardback due this October.) Not too shabby! Thanks, ElzarTheBam. (Louis Wu 19:29:26 UTC)

Halo 2 Version Flash
Paula sent word of a series of Flash animations telling the Halo 2 story… in Spanish. It was created by rafita7878. Quite impressive – even more so if you speak Spanish! (Louis Wu 19:21:02 UTC)

Awards are cool (and embarrassing)
Laird posted a couple of short films from Halo Fest’s VIP party last Friday night – the first shows the presentation of an award that 343 MEANT to offer to a productive community leader (silly people, they gave it to me instead), while the second shows an award that Mr.Sci-Fi and Laird (among others) put together to present to 343. Go watch! (Louis Wu 19:08:03 UTC)
