Anything fun to do alone is more fun with others.
Bungie's Joe Staten gave the convocation address to the Northwestern University School of Communication class of 2011 - he took the lessons he learned in his life (much of which has been spent at Bungie, working on Halo titles) to impart words of advice to the graduating students. Halo makes a few appearances. Worth watching! (Thanks, urk!) (Louis Wu 22:45:09 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Reach: Arena and Ranks
RC Master wrote up a scholarly-style paper on how Arena could be improved. Interesting read! Available as both a PDF (recommended by RC Master, since the formatting is the way he wants it) and online in a standard web format. (Louis Wu 18:29:35 UTC) (permalink)
Halo: The Essential Visual Guide (Preview)
CaptainTony pointed out a preview of the Halo Essential Visual Guide coming from DK Publishing in a bit over a month - there are several pages of example content. It's pretty interesting to see how close these look to a 'bible-style guide' that Bungie created for Hollywood filmmakers back in 2005 (an example page is here, on Bungie.net) - makes you wonder how long this has been in development!

HBO Friends Montage Episode 2
Elzarthebam put together another montage of footage from HBO Euro customs... some funny bits in there! (I think my favorite was the first Myyke clip - don't get in his passenger seat!) Just 3 minutes long - go watch. (Louis Wu 17:28:23 UTC) (permalink)
Genesis
Arby 'n' the Chief Season 6 kicked off last weekend, with a 20 minute first episode... but we missed it until MrWezzle pointed it out. Arby's deep into a bottle of JD, Chief's drawing obscene art on the walls, and a group of gamers have decided they don't like the crackdown on online cheating. I'm really glad XBL doesn't work like this... (Louis Wu 14:54:56 UTC) (permalink)
The Twins
Red vs Blue Season Nine, Episode 2 was released last night - once again, the bar's been raised. The environments are familiar... but the action's all new. The story will grab you, too. Go watch. (There's a discussion thread going on our forum, if you have any comments.) (Louis Wu 13:24:53 UTC) (permalink)
Playtime Ep 1 - Training Day
CruelLEGACEY let us know that the first episode of Playtime is now live. On the plus side, this means we're done with trailers. Another plus - it's pretty well-done; Cobra asks Warren to help him get better at Halo, but things don't go too smoothly. New episodes on Tuesdays. (Louis Wu 13:22:26 UTC) (permalink)
