'Halo: Legacy' Full Trailer
The full trailer for "Halo: Legacy" is now available. Projected as machinima's answer to "Halo Legends," the project will unfold through seven mini-series, each one created by a director from Daemon Productions. This held my attention. Go watch! (Hitmonchan 22:31:28 UTC) (permalink)
Waypoint Forum Tidbits
Here's a few goodies from the Halo Waypoint forums:
- MASSAIKUR made a movie revealing bs angel's darker side. It also includes popular machinima characters/plotlines and some NSFW language. I wonder how bs angel feels about this...
- xDarkomantis is holding a community Forge contest. Submit your best map or photo (one submission per person) by June 4 to enter!
Go look! (Hitmonchan 22:18:23 UTC) (permalink)
'Epinomics': A Halo-inspired Song
Inspired by the Halo soundtrack, Brandon Pryor arranged a piece of his own. Personally, it sounds like an amazing B-side to Halo Wars. I've listened to it four times already, and I'm diving in for a fifth. Check it out! (Hitmonchan 19:47:02 UTC) (permalink)

CaptainTony noticed a pretty cool Halo/Portal 2 crossover piece on DeviantART - what a perfect test subject for Aperture Science! (Louis Wu 19:42:39 UTC) (permalink)

Comm Chatter Treats
Videos you might enjoy on Bungie.net's Comm Chatter today:
- HaloCharts Top 10 Episode 1 (Multikills) is full of... well, multikills.
- Halotracker Top 5 for April has their top 5 sticks. (I think this one should be called 'top 5 luckiest sticks', but whatever.)
- Another recap vid from Forge Cafe (their fourth) has footage from a bunch of cool-looking custom maps.
While you're there, check out the note about HaloCharts BTB Tournament registration - it's open. (Louis Wu 17:11:47 UTC) (permalink)
Daft Punk + Bungie = ExplodingBrain
Thank goodness this is only 1:15 long. It means watching it 10 times wastes less than half an hour of your life. (Thanks, urk. Thanks a LOT.) (Louis Wu 16:29:49 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Fest: Celebrating Ten Years
Halo Waypoint lifted the veil on its PAX Prime 2011 Halo celebration. Billed as "the largest and most expansive live Halo experience ever," Halo Fest will take place all three days of the expo. You can look forward to exclusive panels, amazing prizes and tournaments, and it's all included with your PAX Prime badge. If you can make it out to Seattle, go "see why the last 10 years of Halo were just the beginning." Thanks, Dani, for the heads up! (Hitmonchan 08:40:13 UTC) (permalink)
Dude's a machine.
A few days ago I mentioned episode 16 of "Halo Reach Fails, Wins and WTF Moments." AlaskanWhalers has produced three more episodes since then. My God, man, when do you sleep? Episode 19 features a wicked spawn glitch on Powerhouse. Here's the last two episodes (17 | 18) for those who'd like to catch up. Keep 'em coming! (Hitmonchan 08:08:16 UTC) (permalink)
'Halo Reach Tricks': Episode 30
CMNeir and the crew are back in the newest episode of "Halo Reach Tricks." With the help of several community members, the gang explains how to get out of Condemned in Forge. It was pretty funny to boot. Check it out! (Hitmonchan 03:36:14 UTC) (permalink)
Highway to the danger zone!
Iceman designed an adorable LEGO minifig Spartan armed with a shotgun and a jetpack. He used a black Sharpie to color in the little details on the armor. It's simple but effective. Go look! (Hitmonchan 03:22:40 UTC) (permalink)
