Offcuts
Hedgemony posted a bunch of deleted scenes from his 117×5 project – the man has an eye, and it’s amazing. (They’re not really deleted scenes; they’re images he didn’t get finished in time to add to the project. Absolutely worth perusing.) (Louis Wu 17:01:21 UTC)

Horrible Origins: Creation Episode 1
Avcracy pointed out the first in a new series – Horrible Origins: Creation Episode 1. This is a series that will take old vids from Firelight Studios, and make fun of them, a la MST3K (no silhouettes, though). (Louis Wu 17:00:26 UTC)

Halo: Faith Behind the Scenes Sneakpeak
Whoa do we have an awesome video in store for you people. In the last episode of Podtacular we talked a little about this project named Halo: Faith. If you did not catch the episode you can find it here. For those of you who are to lazy to listen though, Halo: Faith is a fan made MOVIE about the Halo Universe. Not much has been known about the project, with the producers turning on their active-camo, but this past weekend the crew released a very short sneak peak behind the scenes of the upcoming movie on their facebook page.
Needless to say we here at Podtacular cannot wait ’till the movie comes out. Here is a direct link to the video. AWESOME!

Microsoft teams up with IGN on Halo Fest
Looks like 343 and Microsoft just added an offical media outlet for the upcoming Halo Fest that will be held in the coming weeks and sadly it isn’t us. However, you should be excited to know that IGN will be bringing you, and me, more information on Halo Fest leading up to the event, during the event, and after the event (for some reason??).
Whats Halo Fest you ask? Well, it is an event and party held at PAX Prime in Seattle, Washington August 26 through the 28th. They are throwing this special occasion to celebrate the 10th anniversity of the Halo Franchise! To hear part one of our Celebration head over to the Halo Decade Show, Part 1.
Anyone planning on attending Halo: Fest? How about if Podtacular Hosts a Halo: Fest on Xbox Live where you can play with the hosts and some other cool people from around the community? Tell us what you think in the comments.
For all the information and cool videos IGN has in store for you, head over to their Halo Fest page.

Delta Facility Trailer: Halo Reach Map
Bilzo has a buddy who made what he thinks is a great BTB map – but there aren’t that many ways left to promote these. So he made a video to show it off. It’s pretty fun to watch!(Louis Wu 19:48:57 UTC)

MLG Anaheim – what’s in a name, anyway?
MLG Anaheim wrapped up last night, and eon instinct (basically, the Final Boss guys who lost their name) crushed the competition. (Although the final match info page suggests that Status Quo won the last game, the recap disagrees – and the Bracket listings and the Leaderboards both point out that eon instinct won 21 games while losing 0.) A new dynasty emerges? Or is this just an old one with a new name? (Louis Wu 14:42:57 UTC)

Hair Is For Suckers
GamesRadar recently did a feature on Gaming’s Baldest Space Marines. Halo’s own Jun-266, star of Fistful of Arrows and you know, Halo: Reach, made the list of gaming’s gritty smooth-topped warriors. Sadly and somewhat surprisingly, 343’s shiny stalwart Frank O’Connor was not a part of the feature, and was unable to be reached for comment at the time of printing.(GrimBrother One 14:53:59 UTC)
