Daniel 'Tyrant' Morris sent word that the first volume of his series on 'Mythic Tips & Tricks' is now online - it's full of tricks that didn't make it into his Mythic Guide, but improve on existing options listed there.

Spartan Costume Flexibility Test Video
On Halo: Faith's Facebook page, T.J. LeDoux posted a link to a YouTube video demonstrating the flexibility of the Spartan costumes used in the movie. The video was shot by Pete Mander, associate producer and production designer for the film. Just to clarify, this is not footage from the movie. It's nice to see the armor in motion, though. Go look!

Bronze Master Chief. Beautiful.
Wow. You might remember some Master Chief sculpt images we posted a few months ago - Jason Evans had said he was going to cast this in bronze. Well... he did. That looks SPECTACULAR! Check it out. (Louis Wu 16:50:02 UTC) (permalink)
Morning Video Fix
Here's the Friday morning video round-up:
- If you're feeling down this morning, AlaskanWhalers has the remedy. Episode 16 of "Halo Reach Fails, Wins and WTF Moments" might be my favorite fails video yet. The clip at 7:12 is so deliciously evil. Definitely worth the watch!
- Here's a KaggyFilms production titled, "Wanna Trade." A few choice words make it NSFW, but I thought it was pretty funny.
- Part six of "Adventures in Halo: Reach Campaign Matchmaking" is online.
- The first episode of "Work in Progress," a new machinima by FNSProductions, has made its way to YouTube.
- TranQ posted his third community montage.

As with most things Edge puts out, the piece is superbly written, and it's a fantastic look back at what made Halo the iconic shooter we know it to be. Go read! Thanks, ElzarTheBam.
