If you missed the knuckle-bumping action of MLG Columbus, MLG.com has a quick summary of the upsets and final brackets. Trust me, several montages will be made of the primal gameplay of “Instinct” last weekend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next MLG event in Anaheim, Ca., from July 29 to 31.

Jack and Geoff are back for their 38th episode of “Fails of the Weak.” There’s plenty of campaign and multiplayer fails here, including a suicidal Brute and a high-flying glitch on Hemorrhage. Am I the only one who absolutely loves Geoff’s laugh? Especially at the Revenant campaign fail. Every time I hear it, I start smiling. Go watch!(Hitmonchan 17:41:15 UTC)

0postmortem0 wanted to share with us his new personal Halo blog called Life of a Halo Fan. If you get a chance, make sure you stop and check it out!(GrimBrother One 16:41:32 UTC)

In one of the most voluptuously-versed Weekly Updates ever, urk further prepares us for the coming change, and scribes a beautiful picture of Bungie’s view on their baby growing up. Not to be lost in the shuffle is the final (yet disturbing) Bungie All-Stars contest and a really funny Blame Urk. Don’t miss this update!(GrimBrother One 16:25:38 UTC)

Hitmonchan107 has put together a really excellent recap on the recent Halo Community Tournament. He pulls together photos, videos, self-analysis, and reports from other players into one great highlight package. Definitely give this a read!(GrimBrother One 16:14:43 UTC)

Podtacular is back for our summer series of shows and to kick things off, we’re jumping right into the Microsoft Press Briefing from E3 this year. Halo Anniversary gets announced and we are given a teaser to the next Halo game from 343i. Lots of talk about the Kinect as well. Enjoy

The night is always darkest…

Home for a whole 3 hours, have to leave again… but a tidbit for you, before I go. Some folks were asking about the music in the Halo 4 Teaser Trailer – it was composed by Neil Davidge, composer and producer on the last three Massive Attack albums. Good stuff!(Louis Wu 20:32:31 UTC)

The third of the trilogy of new comics has been posted to the One One Se7en page – Stuntmutt felt that the best way to help you remember his glory days was to… well, remind you of his glory days. Glasses up!(Louis Wu 16:41:49 UTC)

There were no new stories submitted for last week’s Fan Fiction update – but in the previous 7 days, six new pieces have been submitted. Go read ’em!(Louis Wu 16:39:07 UTC)

FyreWulff has let us know about a couple of new Fire Team Zulu challenges – check out Unnerfed, a Reach Firefight challenge on Unearthed with no hog action, and Night Recon, a Reach campaign challenge that’s sniper- and warthog-free. Challenge yourself!(Louis Wu 23:10:32 UTC)

Kaidon continues his custom figure awesomeness with a Spawn-inspired Reach Spartan. As a big Spawn fan as well, I find this creation particularly sweet. Go check it out!(GrimBrother One 22:00:22 UTC)

I meant to get back to this… not enough time near a computer recently. Ducain pointed out that the High Impact Halo newspost about the Tower to Tower challenge completion was updated… with a SECOND successful attempt. MrMonopoly ALSO finished the challenge, and filmed his technique. After 7 years of trying – two people nail this within a day or so of each other. That blows me away. Congrats to the entire Halo 1 tricking community for sticking with this one! (Louis Wu 17:27:41 UTC)

The nerve of that guy! Stuntmutt continues to riff on the Halo 4 trailer in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 17:21:54 UTC)

AssaultGodzilla let our forum know that his Indestructible 2.0 HMV is now complete, featuring new footage from obvious new sources. He never fails to impress me. 🙂 Go and give it a look/listen!(GrimBrother One 15:38:39 UTC)

GHOSTKILL helped remind us that Episode 27 of the awesome Achievement HORSE series from our friends at Rooster Teeth went live yesterday. This time, Geoff squares off against HORSE/PIG rookie Joel, and the results are predictably hilarious. You never want to miss these! Go and watch it!(GrimBrother One 15:28:08 UTC)
