Hollow
Davis Beutler created an experimental film inspired by Halo – it uses audio from the Halo 2 and 3 Official Soundtracks, and leans heavily on T.S. Eliot’s ‘The Hollow Men’ (which has been used several times over the course of the Halo series). Interesting! (Louis Wu 14:36:53 UTC)

Halo Fall of Reach Covenant?
CaptainTony noticed that Marvel will be releasing a new comic miniseries starting in February – it focuses on the Covenant, apparently. (There’s no word about this on Marvel’s website, so it’s POSSIBLE that this is just a reprint of an earlier series.)(Louis Wu 14:36:02 UTC)

On the Precipice
Wow, what better way to start of the new year than by showing something that bridges the past to the present. Siliconmaster sends along word that Precipice, his Halo CE map is complete. I hesitate to even call it a simple mod because it is truly incredible. Definitely check out the trailer on YouTube, and if you like you can also check out his thread over at Modacity. You can also download the trailer here. At any rate, go and check this out!(GrimBrother One 16:39:28 UTC)

Podtacular 242: Tales from the Foxhole
Download | Shownotes
Our triumphant return comes with a few changes to the show, but we figured we needed to get one in before the new year. We introduce our experimental show rotation by starting off with some classic Tales from the hole of Fox from our community. We are joined by community member DaftLink I17 as we start getting back into the swing of things. Unfortunately, we forgot to do the callins, so those will be in a future episode, even though there aren’t many. Enjoy
