Fire The Canon!
For some reason, Padraig08 decided to share this... um... this BETTER not be the graphically enhanced Anniversary Jackal. I swear to God, 343... (GrimBrother One 23:55:46 UTC) (permalink)
No Brother of Mine
Dangerously close to becoming lost in the avalanche of audio-concern posts and disc vs disk debates was a neat little machinima piece from Firelight Studios called The Warrior and The Brother. Only about 3 minutes long, so a quick watch, but a cool one. Thanks to Avcracy for letting us know about it. Go give this a look! (GrimBrother One 21:44:22 UTC) (permalink)
Reigniting the Sparkast
We mentioned it yesterday already, but it seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle that 343 Industries released their newest podcast, Sparkast 004: E3 Edition. It just went up on Waypoint itself today, so we wanted to remind everyone to go and listen to the sultry manvocals of David Ellis, Frank O'Connor, and 343i Producer Dennis Ries as they discuss Halo Anniversary, Halo 4, and donut-derived codenames. Go listen! (GrimBrother One 21:35:36 UTC) (permalink)
Like An Alarm Clock For Your Desktop
If your desktop wallpaper needs some waking up, look no further than the images Capt Spanish has whipped up utilizing the "Wake Up John" media assets from the Halo 4 teaser. Looking awesome! (GrimBrother One 21:32:00 UTC) (permalink)
Hey June, Your Playlist's Live...
Hitmonchan107 brought word via Tunavi from NeoGAF that the Reach June Playlist is now live. Our own Fyrefulff also weighed in with changes that he's noticed himself. Though there isn't an official changelog from Bungie just yet, details of what were planned for the full update can be found in their most recent Weekly Update. Get in there and swat some heads!

'Halo: CEA' will not feature audio toggle
VideoGamer has a second article up on "Halo: CEA." The site is reporting the game will not allow users to toggle between the original music or sound effects and the re-recorded versions. Of course, the original dialogue is being retained from "Combat Evolved," with the notable addition of terminal dialogue. There are still unrevealed features for the game, so unless Frankie comes in wielding the Dreamcrusher, I'll hold on to my hope for some inclusion of the original audio.

Finding a MIDDLEGROUND
MasterPIE wanted us to know that the newest Machinima project by Arbiter617, MIDDLEGROUND, is now out and available to watch. It's a long one - nearly an hour - but some really good work was put into this one. If you have the time, it's definitely worth the look! (GrimBrother One 14:48:58 UTC) (permalink)
Acting On Impulse.
The announcement of Halo 4 has brought Stuntmutt out of cryosleep, and One One Se7en has a new comic today. (The jokes aren't any better... but the subject material is a bit brainier.) Update: oops, some permissions were broken when the site moved back in January - fixed now. You should be able to see this link again. Sorry! (Louis Wu 14:40:04 UTC) (permalink)
What Was That About Being Bored?
Avcracy let us know about a new short put out by he and his friends at Firelight Studios. I definitely found it funny, go and check it out! (GrimBrother One 13:29:05 UTC) (permalink)
Cause I Pwn You
Overdoziz stopped by the forums to let us know about a Reach Fail Video done by Dizzle229 over at forum.tip.it. Some pretty funny moments, and an interesting - I guess - soundtrack. Give it a watch! (GrimBrother One 13:21:07 UTC) (permalink)
Dani Way You Want It, That's The Way You Need It
Dani is continuing to be a big help on the news-gathering front with items from The Examiner, MCV Online, and Gamespy UK. Great work, and good info! (GrimBrother One 13:12:56 UTC) (permalink)
More Hi Res Logos 4 You
Asian Inferno stopped in to let us know that you can also find beautiful hi-res versions of the Halo 4 title and logos here. Gorgeous stuff! Go check it out! (GrimBrother One 13:10:32 UTC) (permalink)
Ars Technica gets a look at 'Halo: CEA'
Adding another off-the-showfloor article on "Halo: CEA" is Ars Technica. This piece includes a few more details on the terminals and an awkwardly coy moment when 343 is asked about classic weapons and gameplay for multiplayer. Despite Ben Kuchera's "milking the franchise" comment, it's a well-written piece. Go look! (Hitmonchan 05:46:09 UTC) (permalink)
IGN Live: 'Halo: CE Anniversary'
IGN's Hilary Goldstein sat down with Frank O'Connor to discuss "Halo: CE Anniversary" and "Halo 4." Props to GrimBrother One for pointing out the footage as it was live. Go watch! (Hitmonchan 02:58:42 UTC) (permalink)
Community Customs Podcast: Episode 1
Hyokin wanted to let us know that the first Community Customs Podcast is available for download. Hyokin himself joins HBO regulars Leviathan, Nomis, and KornyMunky to discuss all sorts of Halo merriment, including the recent announcements; wish I would've had the time to join them myself! Lots of fun from great HBO community members. Go check it out! (GrimBrother One 00:36:38 UTC) (permalink)
Visual Guide Arrival Imminent?
ElzarTheBam dropped by with news that Amazon had sent an email update regarding the pre-order of the Halo: Essential Visual Guide from DK Publishing stating that the estimated ship date had been moved up to the 13th of July from the 27th. Coincidentally, my pre-order of the same book says July 4th (also from Amazon). Looks like either way we won't be waiting too long to check it out ourselves! (GrimBrother One 00:15:11 UTC) (permalink)
G4 on H4 and More
G4 grabbed an interview with our beloved Frankie to talk about the new Halo announcements and look ahead toward the future. Go give it a watch! Always great to hear from the Scottish Loremaster! (Even if he did say, "Don't expect an entirely 'flying' Halo game.") (GrimBrother One 00:00:53 UTC) (permalink)
