New Books Coming from DK
Over at NeoGAF, Dani pointed out a couple of upcoming books that might make some Halo fans happy - a new version of the Halo Encyclopedia (16 new pages of content, and presumably some errors from the first edition fixed), and a book called "Halo: The Essential Visual Guide", coming this summer from DK. (While it's true that Amazon's description for the book is clearly out of date (ODST is no longer the most recent Halo title), it matches DK's description word for word - which makes me wonder if the publication date is accurate. I hope so - looks like a great book! (Louis Wu 20:36:07 UTC) (permalink)

Featured Presentation
Are you bored? Does the outside world seem foreign and inhospitable? I answered yes to both, so here's what I found to pass the time:
- Want to watch 116 players duke it out in a Halo-themed paintball contest? Payback350z has you covered. The player running around with the Energy Sword was awesome, and so was the first-person shooting.
- Here's a fan-made Halo movie trailer from 5233484. According to the description, he or she has never played the games before. Judging from the username, he/she is actually a robot, and this is a warning to humanity that our dependency on technology will bring about our untimely demise.
- Continuing the trend, tu1785566 made a Halo funtage with clips from Halo 3 and Reach. A rather unfortunate song choice, but the clips were good fun.
- Freelancer824 sliced together Halo cutscenes to the song "For the New Lunar Republic," which is apparently a bada** fan-made song for My Little Pony.
- The new "Pregame Lobby," titled "Things Change," is online. There's some NSFW language for you work types.
- Part five of Machinima Respawn's "Adventures in Halo: Reach Campaign Matchmaking" is up. In case you missed them, here are the first four parts: (1 | 2 | 3 | 4).
- DetoX edited a Halo 3 montage featuring RPG Hero. The video has NSFW lyrics.
- Finally, episode eight of "Anguish" came out today. Catch up with the episodes here: (1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7).
And if you're really bored, go watch Halo Legends. I'm about to watch it for the first time. I just got Netflix. Cut me some slack. (Hitmonchan 18:24:14 UTC) (permalink)

RvB CanWest Teasers
Laird stopped by with a quick summary of some of the highlights to be expected at RvB CanWest, taking place this weekend - if you can make it to Vancouver, this one should be a doozy! (Louis Wu 12:04:13 UTC) (permalink)
Read Smoother
Arithmomaniac has updated his 'HBO Forum Enhancers' (scripts and styles adjustments to make browsing our forum a bit more streamlined) - check his post for links. (You WILL lose the Challenges box in the top right if you install the Stylish script - just a warning.) Update: Arithmomaniac updated to put the Challenge block back in (but made it pretty easy to edit yourself if you want it gone). (Louis Wu 12:03:13 UTC) (permalink)
I am the Master Chief.
Hexlord posted four amazing photos (1 | 2 | 3 | 4) of a cosplayer in his custom-made Mark VI armor and weapons on deviantART. Did I use the correct armor this time, Grim? :^) Great stuff, Hexlord! (Hitmonchan 06:37:56 UTC) (permalink)

Of Chief Concern
SFX-360 put out a pretty neat article that poses the question: What If Microsoft Never Had Halo? It raises some interesting points to think about in the grand scheme of things. Looks like Master Chief might have saved a lot more universes than we previously thought! Thanks to the handsome and talented GrimBrother One for noti- wait, never mind.
