Gotta love downtime...
...it makes for such a quiet office. HBO HQ went offline again for a few hours this afternoon - the main site (and, in fact, most web-based assets) remained up, but email and the forum were inaccessible. It's not clear that the problem is actually fixed yet - but we're live again for now, and that's good. Fingers are crossed... (Louis Wu 22:13:17 UTC) (permalink)
BOB Video Guide Part 1
Lord Friendship it putting together a BOB Video Guide - Part 1 answers the questions "What is a BOB?" The information is well-presented, and pretty extensive - go watch and be educated! (Louis Wu 16:56:05 UTC) (permalink)
Making Halo Armor
nairB noticed a Maker Faire video about Shawn Thorsson, a propmaker who builds a lot of Halo armor. We've mentioned him before (actually, we accidentally mentioned a single blog post twice - once in July, once last November) - but this is footage from the Bay Area Maker Faire gathering last May, in which Thorsson discusses how he makes his outfits. Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:36:32 UTC) (permalink)

Nak3d Eli put together a video to show you how to get the current Weekly Challenge in as little as 13 minutes of gameplay. Now THAT'S a pretty easy 30,000 cR! (Louis Wu 13:33:31 UTC) (permalink)
Labor Pains
Rooster Teeth released Episode 18 of RvB Season 9 last night (thanks, Ibeechu) - some serious plot movement on this one! Things are beginning to come together... and some old friends are back. (Louis Wu 13:32:33 UTC) (permalink)
Return to CANADA!!!

HaloChallenges - Living Dead
HC Redemption had this up at HaloChallenges in time for Halloween yesterday - but our connectivity troubles kept us from seeing it before today. Nevertheless, it's a fun-looking challenge - so swing by and see if you're up for their Living Dead Challenge!

Halo 3: Trick of Legend
CMNeir asked us to highlight an old movie he made in the Halo 3 engine - I'd never seen it before, but it's a pretty fun story! Go watch 'Trick of Legend'. (Louis Wu 13:29:52 UTC) (permalink)
Slightly Live Concept Art
Dani's been busy finding previously unseen Halo concept art and adding it to the Forward Unto Dawn Concept Art Gallery - new work from Ryan Demita, Halo Wars stuff from Marco Nelor, a whole new Halo Wars section, and, in this NeoGAF post, a couple of Noble Map Pack concept pieces that look seriously cool. Go explore! (Louis Wu 13:28:18 UTC) (permalink)
The Guild Gets Haloed
SonGoharotto pointed out that Halo (specifically, conventiongoers in Master Chief armor, and a Gunnery Sergeant you might know) plays a significant role in Season Five of The Guild, the long-running webseries that made Felicia Day a (geek) household name. If you haven't been watching recently... pick it up again! Update: man, I'm doing this a lot lately. We mentioned this stuff back in August. Sorry.

Keep your eyes peeled - there'll be more! Update: we've posted the official press release. (Louis Wu 13:13:39 UTC) (permalink)
