RT Goodness at Waypoint
Halo Waypoint’s got a couple of great videos from PAX East 2011 – first up is the Grifball panel. (Four segments long, almost a full hour of Grifball goodness – nobody will believe it, but it’s me that bs angel is waving at at the very start…) Video 2: The Rooster Teeth panel, in five parts – an extremely well-attended discussion of what’s been, and what’s coming. There’s tons more at Waypoint – I can’t even keep up any more. The Weekly Wrapup will help… but really, you just need to explore.(Louis Wu 23:00:49 UTC)

Hired Company
NeoGAF’s Sikamikanico found a Halo comic he’d created in 2007 – not bad! (If you’d rather not deal with Photobucket’s Slideshow code, you can page through it quite easily as a regular album.)(Louis Wu 20:34:37 UTC)

A Fistful of Arrows (30-32)
I saved this for last this morning, because it made me all kinds of happy. Leviathan has updated his ‘A Fistful of Arrows’ graphic novel with 3 more pages… and they’re without a doubt the prettiest things I’ve seen this weekend. Go read.(Louis Wu 15:17:50 UTC)

It’s like a double rainbow all the way
padraig08 built a spectacular panorama out of the Condemned skybox. (Stephen “WetBlanket” Loftus explained why this is a bad thing. He may be right – but MAN, it’s still pretty.)(Louis Wu 15:02:44 UTC)
