Community machinima spotlight
CruelLEGACEY has posted a Community Spotlight of Funny Halo 3 Productions (now known as Dark River Eclipse) on his site – you can see some sample video along with a description of the group and how they’ve grown. The Annhiliation Circuit video shows off some pretty chaotic gametypes!(Louis Wu 16:16:31 UTC)

HaLo2FrEeEk has set up the Halo: Reach Challenge Initiative – it’s designed to let anyone (with a Twitter account) offer suggestions about the daily and weekly challenges. Go explore!(Louis Wu 13:11:29 UTC)

Halo Combat
FyreWulff speculated about a gametype he’d be able to build with Bungie’s scripting tools… looks like it might be fun!(Louis Wu 13:04:05 UTC)

He needs a weapon.
Hedgemony took an artistic look back at Halo 3’s Master Chief – he can make even SMGs look powerful!(Louis Wu 13:02:32 UTC)

Achievement PIG #29
hezekiah noticed that the latest Achievement HORSE -er, PIG – went live last night (links in the forum post); Jack and Geoff whipped through a 3-letter contest in record time. Hard to tell a lot about the maps this time…(Louis Wu 12:58:49 UTC)

Halo Bulletin 6-22-11…Re-Orchestrating A Masterpiece
This week’s Halo Bulletin from bs angel and the fine folks at 343 Industries should be music to the ears of any Halo fan. Go and check it out! (It’s also available in our Halo Bulletin Archive, if you’re having trouble getting the bottom portion of the original to display.)(GrimBrother One 00:07:20 UTC)

An old crew gets back together
TSquared talked to MLG’s Shockwave about the return of the original Str8 Rippin roster – TSquared, Legit, Neighbor and ElamiteWarrior. If they can win a tournament on the MLG Pro Tour, they’ll be the first team to win games in Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo: Reach with the same lineup. Pretty interesting! Thanks to Account Attempt #4 for posting this on GAF.(Louis Wu 22:17:23 UTC)

Halo: Faith Unngoy concept

Mid7night Marty Meets
Mid7night stopped in to give us an update on his trip to Seattle. Looks like Urk was kind enough to let him take a peek at the new digs. Nice! The evening kept getting better, Mid7night got to experience the Reach music at the Seattle PLAY event, and met up with the Elder Himself, Marty O’Donnell. Check out his post for more, but all in all, sounds like an epic evening! (GrimBrother One 13:37:50 UTC)

DeviantARTistry
padraig08 stopped in with a couple of tidbits he found on DeviantART – a UNSC Hunter (huh?)… and a really adorable little Grunt costume NovemberAdam made for his son for Halloween. (More pics of the Grunt are here.)(Louis Wu 13:36:19 UTC)

Halo: Faith Original Soundtrack: Landing, Scarab
munky-058 was the first to mention a new piece from the Halo: Faith soundtrack – The Landing was posted last night. They’ve also posted Scarab – a more tension-filled piece. If you’re curious as to where the music for this Fan movie is going, go listen to these pieces!(Louis Wu 13:32:52 UTC)

Anything fun to do alone is more fun with others.
Bungie’s Joe Staten gave the convocation address to the Northwestern University School of Communication class of 2011 – he took the lessons he learned in his life (much of which has been spent at Bungie, working on Halo titles) to impart words of advice to the graduating students. Halo makes a few appearances. Worth watching! (Thanks, urk!)(Louis Wu 22:45:09 UTC)

Halo Reach: Arena and Ranks
RC Master wrote up a scholarly-style paper on how Arena could be improved. Interesting read! Available as both a PDF (recommended by RC Master, since the formatting is the way he wants it) and online in a standard web format.(Louis Wu 18:29:35 UTC)

Halo: The Essential Visual Guide (Preview)
CaptainTony pointed out a preview of the Halo Essential Visual Guide coming from DK Publishing in a bit over a month – there are several pages of example content. It’s pretty interesting to see how close these look to a ‘bible-style guide’ that Bungie created for Hollywood filmmakers back in 2005 (an example page is here, on Bungie.net) – makes you wonder how long this has been in development!(Louis Wu 18:25:25 UTC)

HBO Friends Montage Episode 2
Elzarthebam put together another montage of footage from HBO Euro customs… some funny bits in there! (I think my favorite was the first Myyke clip – don’t get in his passenger seat!) Just 3 minutes long – go watch.(Louis Wu 17:28:23 UTC)

Genesis
Arby ‘n’ the Chief Season 6 kicked off last weekend, with a 20 minute first episode… but we missed it until MrWezzle pointed it out. Arby’s deep into a bottle of JD, Chief’s drawing obscene art on the walls, and a group of gamers have decided they don’t like the crackdown on online cheating. I’m really glad XBL doesn’t work like this…(Louis Wu 14:54:56 UTC)

The Twins
Red vs Blue Season Nine, Episode 2 was released last night – once again, the bar’s been raised. The environments are familiar… but the action’s all new. The story will grab you, too. Go watch. (There’s a discussion thread going on our forum, if you have any comments.)(Louis Wu 13:24:53 UTC)
