'I'm Here to Give the Covenant Back Their Cake.' - Halo and Cake Wars?
There have been some pretty outlandish products made under the 'Halo banner' of 343, but I'm not sure I ever saw the marriage of Halo and the TV show, Cake Wars.

Kotaku Get All Nostalgic for A Great Trailer from Halo 3: ODST
There's been few video game trailers that I would consider art or capable of conveying emotion well, but Halo through the years has seemed to do quite well with their promotion pieces. Kotaku just put up a piece on 'We Are ODST', and talks about the trailer in detail, even pointing out things I hadn't noticed before! This is probably my second favorite trailer, right behind the simple diorama trailer with Chopin's chilling 'Raindrop' prelude from the Halo 3 'Believe' campaign. (Thanks Kermit!)

The folks at Termacious Trickocity have done it again! This time, using a couple of skulls and four players, they spawn inside the bridge room used in a few Halo 3 cutscenes!

Fan Makes Music Inspired by the Halo Games
usadog sent us a track he composed called 'Flaming Bird (Halo Style)'. While it doesn't take from the games we love, being one of the first 'batte games' he could play, usadog took inspiration from Halo for his composition and after a slow start, it definitely shows!

Random Halo Quotes Shared via Twitter and Our Halo Dialogue Database
We have a lot of useful stuff around this website, but sometimes it might take a little work to find.

You get such great gems as 'Are we gonna have some kind of problem, Creepy?' and 'What are ya, a bunch of school girls?' in a tweet! (MacGyver10 15:19:37 UTC) (permalink)
