slYnki's AMA
slYnki has been tricking in Halo for a long time - and he's decided to do a reddit-style Ask Me Anything interview. Watch his video for more details - and then ask away! (Louis Wu 23:20:31 UTC) (permalink)

Getting out of ODST's Coastal Highway
TermaciousTrickosity is back with a new vid - this one gets you out of ODST's Coastal Highway. Pretty ingenious way of solving the 'there's no way out' problem! (I love seeing this stuff. I'd probably go crazy trying to do it myself - but I love seeing others do it.) Thanks, t00lbox. (Louis Wu 23:15:36 UTC) (permalink)

Chettlar's Halo UI Mockup
Chettlar from NeoGAF put together this rather impressive Halo UI mockup. There are plenty of pictures as well as detailed explanations of how the UI functions.

AI Battle - Crawlers vs Imperial Grunts
Gamecheat sent word that he posted another AI-on-AI battle - this one pits Crawlers against Grunts and there are plenty of wonderful moments! As Gamecheat points out, even though the Crawlers have a slight advantage because they can spawn with Boltshots (see, it is overpowered) the Grunts still manage to put up a fight. If you’re interested in seeing more AI-on-AI action make sure to leave suggestions for future videos - I’m thinking 20 Gútas versus 20 forklifts. (colindosaj 07:17:56 UTC) (permalink)

Halo Music Video - Bring Me To Life

AI Battle - Knight Battlewagons vs Hunters
Wow, this is actually pretty cool. Gamecheat set up some AI-on-AI battles to see which was more badass - Covenant Hunters or Forerunner Knight Battlewagons? From 1v1 up to 20v20 (which might be a little out of Halo 4's processing range, actually), check this film out to see how these guys choose to fight each other - and who's stronger! (I actually found myself impressed with how the AI handled the varying fights - not from a FIGHTING standpoint, but from a TACTICS one.) (Louis Wu 16:03:20 UTC) (permalink)

Never the same game twice
Yesterday, Edge Magazine released a retrospective on Halo - one of a very few titles to ever earn the coveted '10' in an Edge review. It's a look back at what made that first title so special - and how gaming has changed forever in response. As with most Edge articles, it's full of memorable writing (the description of the Library as "the long dark night of the shotgun" was especially enjoyable), but mostly it's just about revisiting an old favorite through the eyes of someone who loved it as much as you did.

A Crazy Halo 3 Easter Egg Surfaces... on Easter, 7 years later
In January, Lord Zedd posted a short video purporting to show off a newly-discovered Halo 3 Easter Egg - but refused to explain how to reproduce it. (He preferred that fans find it on their own.) There wasn't enough in the video he posted for me to be able to tell if this was staged or real - so I left it alone, figuring that sooner or later, we'd know, one way or the other. It's Easter today, so I guess Lord Zedd decided it was time - he's posted a video showing how to trigger the egg. (It's pretty ridiculous - I don't think this would EVER have been found if not for modders looking through the code.) Go watch - I'm guessing whoever put that into the game knew they were moving over to 343 after Halo 3! (Or maybe they were just commenting on the franchise; the decision to relinquish the Halo IP was finalized in the summer of 2007, just before Halo 3's release.) Pretty cool! Thanks, gamerguy2002.

Robowski shot us a note about Th3 Rogue, who put together a 'behind the scenes' vid showing how she created her Cortana costume - fun to watch.

The Halo Community, and its influence - one fan's view
Hey, let's do a little catch-up. It's been a busy week (and yes, it really did just start). A few days ago, Gagnon 30 wrote an article looking at the "Halo Community" (it's in quotes because in this context it's pretty hard to define), and what they want - or, more accurately, what they SAY they want. Or what SOME of them say they want. Hmm... these qualifiers could become a pretty deep rabbit hole if I'm not careful...
