Robowski let us know that the Post Game Carnage Report has released a Best Of episode – filled with all sorts of shenaniganry. This can give you an overall idea of how these generally work, if you haven’t partaken before. As always, NSFW. (Louis Wu 18:38:35 UTC)

Ty Coker wondered if you’d be interested in checking out the earlier work from the studio that brought you Frostbite – they’re about to get started on Season 2 of SYNAW, and all ten episodes of Season 1 (well, Episode 9 is in 4 separate pieces) can be found in this playlist. (Louis Wu 18:31:41 UTC)

NartFOpc wrote up last Saturday’s Classic Customs Night – it’w worth reading for the artwork alone. (Louis Wu 18:18:56 UTC)

Hyokin let us know about a machinima project put together by a group he does voice work for – in his post, you can watch a teaser trailer for ‘Secrets of Zanzibar 2: Decimated Persistence Part 1’ (the title’s almost longer than the trailer!). (Louis Wu 18:17:15 UTC)

The lovely folks at CruelLEGACEY Productions have put up a Q&A section for people curious about how the Playtime series is made, as well as general Machinima-making wonderings. Check it out!(GrimBrother One 17:17:28 UTC)

The awesome folks over at MoreFrames – the creative team driving the Headhunters Motion Comic at Halo Waypoint – have let us know that they have updated the Headhunters page on their website. The update includes more awesome snapshots from the Motion Comic itself, as well as links to the videos on Waypoint. Beautiful look to it all, go and check these guys out!(GrimBrother One 17:01:31 UTC)

ElzarTheBam noticed a cosplay gallery from ComicVine. If you give it a sift through, you’ll find some costumes from our favorite universe such as this one. Some nice shots all around, go check it out!(GrimBrother One 15:17:29 UTC)

For those of you who don’t know, the movie adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” came crumbling down earlier this week. In light of this, indieWIRE devised a list of dead projects it wants resurrected from the pre-production graveyard, and “Halo” made the cut. Peter Jackson, after you return from The Shire, please give us a meaty live-action “Halo” flick. A boy can dream, right? (Hitmonchan 14:31:28 UTC)

Poor Geoff, I think his enthusiasm wanes with each new episode. Rooster Teeth is back with “Achievement HORSE 33.” Give ‘er a watch! (Hitmonchan 14:28:09 UTC)

DeltaGamer sat down with Jimbothy of McCallahan Industries to talk about the creation of “Halo Warfare 3.” This is actually the second part in a series of interviews with Jimbothy — here’s the first part, in case you missed it. The third and final section will come out later today. If you’re interested in the technical aspects of machinima, check this out!(Hitmonchan 14:23:39 UTC)

If you’re not geeking it up today at the San Diego Comic Con, then you won’t be able to attend the Halo Universe panel. Fear not, fellow Halo fans, for the good folks at G4TV will be live blogging the event, which starts at 11:30 a.m. PST. A little birdie told me that 343 is filming the event. Who knows, we might even see the video as soon as Saturday morning. (Hitmonchan 14:18:30 UTC)

Gah – meant to post this early this morning, but things didn’t go well. Halo Waypoint’s Alison Stroll is moderating the Halo Universe panel tomorrow morning at San Diego Comic Con, and yesterday opened a thread on the Waypoint forums where you could post questions. It’s not locked yet, so if there’s anything you’ve been dying to ask Greg Bear, Karen Traviss, Frankie, or Kevin Grace… go toss it in! Thanks to PsychoRaven for noticing.(Louis Wu 22:45:20 UTC)

Just got sent a new trailer for Crimson Alliance. This is a dungeon-based hack-n-slash that’s about as far from Halo as you can get… but it’s being made by Certain Affinity (who came from Bungie in the first place, and still generate Halo material), and more importantly, it’s FUN. This trailer is all about Gnox the Mercenary – and it makes me want this game more than ever! Go watch it (non-HD, for ease of streaming), or download HD 720p versions in QT or WMP9. (No watermarks here, cause we love you too much.) Crimson Alliance is due to hit XBLA on September 7 – mark your calendar!(Louis Wu 22:35:04 UTC)

The Filmageddon crew put together ‘Real Life Halo Forge‘ – very nice work! (I found this at Halo Waypoint, cause bs angel is better at scouring than I am.)(Louis Wu 17:18:07 UTC)

Joony Joon pointed out a hidden-in-plain-sight egg the Certain Affinity crew tucked into Condemned, one of the Defiant maps – these have been out for months, and I never thought to look up and notice the shape! Nice call.(Louis Wu 17:15:23 UTC)

IGN’s Top 10 Reach Kills for the week of July 20 contains some fun clips – Go watch! Thanks, ChrisTheeCrappy.(Louis Wu 16:59:47 UTC)

ElzarTheBam wanted to bless us with another awesome HBO Community Montage. The results are a slick and hilarious as ever. Go check it out!(GrimBrother One 13:53:29 UTC)

bs angel used her wily ways of wit and word to craft the lastest Halo Bulletin for our reading pleasure. Go and grab some news on HaloFest, biceps, some text-free cover art, and an explosive skull. Read it!(If you choose, it’s available in our Halo Bulletin Archive, as well.)(GrimBrother One 13:48:39 UTC)
